'Overdue speaker in camouflage.' Zelensky's arrival split the Bundestag
2024-06-13
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

[REGNUM] The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, traveling around the world with an outstretched hand and pathetic calls for solidarity with long-suffering Ukraine, arrived in Berlin and was immediately remembered with an unkind word. Zelensky angered both the majority of Berliners, who were horrified by the transport collapse, and the metropolitan police, who learned about the visit of the “distinguished guest” only at the last moment and prepared the necessary measures under severe time pressure.

#4  PBS:

Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and Norway have committed to providing Ukraine with over 60 U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets to help it fend off Russian attacks. Ukrainian pilots are currently undergoing training to fly the warplanes ahead of the deliveries expected to start later this year.

Serhii Holubtsov, head of aviation within Ukraine’s air force, said that “a certain number of aircraft will be stored at secure air bases outside of Ukraine so that they are not targeted here.”

Another promise kept by breaking a kept promise.

So now that Russia has learned how to fight NATO armor on training mode, now they get to train on fighters.

#2  Under international law, countries cannot confiscate those assets from Russia and give them to Ukraine.

"The credibility of international law is at stake!"

I have questions. If the account is frozen, how is it generating interest? If they were to shit the bed and cash the accounts, why would it be payments and not one large lump sum? Why do I smell shite?
