2022-04-19 23:01:40 German Chancellor: The embargo on Russian gas is an insurmountable challenge for many countries.

And of course, Germany will not be spared a retaliatory blow from such sanctions.

"Rising prices for coal, oil and gas are also a challenge for such a rich country as Germany," Scholz added.

Russian gas accounts for half of the total consumption of "blue fuel" in Germany.

With such information, it is clear why the German Economy Minister recently said that the embargo on gas from the Russian Federation would jeopardize the social order in Germany. Open / Comment

2022-04-19 22:39:31 The United States does not know where and to whom the weapons supplied to Kiev go.

2022-04-19 21:44:04 Russian intelligence has information about thousands of foreign mercenaries in Ukraine.

This was stated by Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev.

Compliance with the norms of the Geneva Convention does not apply to such militants.

The Kiev regime knows little about the history of mercenary activity and is taking leaps and bounds towards its deafening fiasco.

The foreigners currently fighting in Ukraine are professional killers with a broken psyche.

If foreign mercenaries and their mentors from Bandera refuse to surrender, they will be denazified.

"They will have to answer in full for their actions. Of course, if they stay alive." Open / Comment

2022-04-19 21:19:10 The cycle of old weapons always ends with Ukraine.

Romania plans to change the laws in order to transfer military equipment "from reserves" to Kiev.

However, there is a nuance.

Bucharest wants to supply MiG-21 Lancer fighters to Ukraine, which it has long wanted to get rid of because of their frequent accidents.

Now Western countries will be able to sell new planes to Romanians, and those, in turn, will be able to write off old and unnecessary fighters. Open / Comment
