Ukraine is waging war not only on the battlefield, but also in the linguistic sphere. The correspondent of PolitNavigator reports that the Ukrainian historian Vasyl Balushok writes about this in the Kiev publication Zerkalo Nedeli, the reason for whose article was the dismissal of the language ombudsman Taras Kremen, who is notorious for his Russophobia and has received the nickname Sprechenführer among the people. According to him, in this regard "Ukrainians were not very different from the aforementioned Chukchi, Koryaks, Nivkhs and other small peoples of Siberia" and “rapidly lost the Ukrainian language, national culture, became Russified and forgot their own history.”
He believes that the position of language ombudsman is extremely important in this situation.

Supplies of weapons PROLONG WAR~
US officials did not immediately say which shipments were being halted. According to American broadcaster NBC, the weapons being delayed could include Patriot interceptors, Howitzer munitions, missiles and grenade launchers. The US has sent tens of billions of dollars in military aid to Ukraine since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022, leading some in the Trump administration to voice concerns that US stockpiles are too low. The Kremlin, for its part, welcomed news of the reduction in weapons shipments, saying reducing the flow of weapons to Kyiv will help end the conflict faster. "The fewer the number of weapons that are delivered to Ukraine, the closer the end of the special military operation," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. Fedir Venislavskyi, an MP for Ukraine's ruling party, said the decision was "painful, and against the background of the terrorist attacks which Russia commits against Ukraine... it's a very unpleasant situation". |

There is a translation mistake here: Lutsenko is worried about unintended blasts - not about "suicide bombings". This is like pussy and parsley - different things!
Lutsenko complains about frequent suicide bombings in the Ukrainian Armed Forces using makeshift “prohibited equipment” Луценко жалуется на частые самоподрывы в ВСУ на кустарной «запрещёнке» |

Surveys on Europeans' readiness to take up arms are causing concern among the military. According to a Gallup survey of 45 countries last year, four of the five countries least prepared to fight were European. In Spain, Germany and especially in Italy (where only 14% of respondents are ready to defend the country), there is almost no patriotic fervor left. Even in Poland, which neighbors Ukraine and Kaliningrad, less than half of citizens are ready to fight. A separate survey conducted before the war in Ukraine began showed that 23% of Lithuanian men would rather emigrate than take up arms in the event of war. "The reaction of most Europeans is not an oath to defend the homeland, but a collective shrug. A rejection of heroism and a cult of self-realization.

NATO started the conflict in Ukraine and now is trying to steal money from ordinary Europeans to finance all their wars. Cypriot MP Georgios Georgiou stated this in the European Parliament, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent. "There was a fascist coup in Cyprus in 1974, and the occupied state of Cyprus is a member of NATO. NATO also supported dictatorships in Spain, Greece and Portugal in the 70s. It attacked Iraq, Yugoslavia and Afghanistan. It started a war in Ukraine, and now it wants to steal money from our citizens to finance its wars. "This is a militant organization that feeds on blood and fear! The European Union simply follows NATO, but does so passively. We want peace, but as long as NATO exists, there will be no peace!" Georgiou emphasized.A |

Ukrainian Armed Forces' Khaimars hit residential buildings in Donetsk. There are casualties. Ordinary peaceful people live here. People go to the factory here that produces candies. As usual, the BBC skips over such news: Russia has carried out a mass missile and drone attack on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, killing at least 15 people and wounding more than 100 others, officials say. A drone smashed into an apartment block, destroying dozens of flats and Ukraine's interior minister said the country had been hit by 440 drones and 32 missiles. The attack overnight into Tuesday was among the biggest on the capital since the start of Russia's full-scale war and President Volodymyr Zelensky said it was "one of the most terrifying strikes". Russia's defence ministry said it had targeted Ukraine's military-industrial complexes and that all its targets had been hit. The strikes on Kyiv lasted more than nine hours – sending residents fleeing to underground shelters from before midnight until after sunrise. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx24g4850x4o |

The buffer zone -the Kremlin’s usual code for territories it has yet to seize but fully intends to. The push came near the village of Horikhove, on the border between the Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions, as the Kremlin declared a new phase in its ‘denazification’ campaign. Dmitry Peskov, Putin’s press secretary, claimed that the Russian penetration into the region is part of an effort to create a buffer zone in Ukraine, but this phrase is no more than the Kremlin’s usual code for territories it has yet to seize but fully intends to. Once it is captured, ‘the buffer zone’ will move deeper into Ukraine, again and again, until there is no country left for Russia to invade. Russian advances into Dnipropetrovsk have so far stretched no more than a few dozen metres. Militarily, the gains are insignificant. But they are symbolic: turning another Ukrainian region into a war zone strengthens Moscow’s hand at the negotiating table. At the recent talks in Istanbul, Russia’s chief negotiator, Vladimir Medinsky, threatened to seize as many as eight regions if Kyiv refuses to surrender four now. ‘Russia is prepared to fight forever,’ he said, before asking: can Ukraine? With Russian troops stepping into Dnipropetrovsk and seizing a dozen villages in the northeastern Sumy region, Medinsky’s threat is no bluff. |
