🇫🇷🇺🇦 Speaking before the French National Assembly, Zelensky thanked the parliamentarians in French and was rewarded with a minute-long standing ovation in response.
@MAKS23
Le Pen is seeking respectability, that's why. Fishing for not being labelled "extremist" to get more and more votes, and there are elections this sunday... This explains that.
But if she applauds (I can't see if she really does, or just stands) it's very feebly so.
Another one who barely applauds and makes a show of it, ostensibly keeping his hands behind his back or in his pockets, is Meyer Habib. Not very surprising to whoever has heard a little bit about this unsavoury character...
🇦🇲👀 In Armenia, a powerful explosion happened at a gas pipeline station near the capital!
❗️Local media write that the explosion occurred at a station in the city of Abovyan - no more than ten kilometers from the outskirts of Yerevan. Details are being confirmed.
@MAKS23
Putin's retaliation for Armenia slowly slipping away from Russian orbit and getting nearer to Europe?
Or Azerbaidjan's doing?
Or even, a mere accident?
⚡️✈️🇫🇷 France will transfer Mirage 2000 to Ukraine and train pilots, — Macron
🇺🇦"Tomorrow during my meeting with Zelensky, we are going to start a new cooperation, and we will provide the Mirage 2000 and offer to train pilots," he announced.
@MAKS23
This old guy took part in saving Europe and more generally Democracy 80 years ago, and Zelensky is doing exactly the same right now. Just like members of AFU are doing.
Big thanks to them.
🇫🇷🇺🇦 At the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of D-Day, a journalist asked Zelensky if he hoped for land an amphibious assault in Ukraine one day, he replied: "Yes, I hope so."
@MAKS23 Has anyone thought how cruel these commemorations are for him?
Westerners congratulating themselves, celebrating the fact they sent soldiers to save a democratic country occupated by invaders 80 years ago, while his own democratic country is currently invaded and occupied and none of these western countries is ready to send troops to save 🇺🇦 from invasion and occupation????
Must be so painful for Zelensky despite the mandatory smiles.
I feel for him anf for his fellow compatriots😢 🕯️🙏
🇺🇸🇺🇦 "The US should not put a stick in Ukraine's wheels and decide how they use US weapons. I do not support Biden's decision on various restrictions", - Mike Johnson
P.S. Good words… but also because of his decision, a large number of Ukrainian soldiers died!
@MAKS23
what a disgusting hypocrite!
None of what this scumy guy says has any value.
Not after he withheld US military aid for UKraine during almost half a year.
Does he think people are stupid and amnesiac? (if he does, I'm sadly afraid that he is right, though...)
@MAKS23
Errr... America indeed stopped transferring weapons to Ukraine for not 2, not 3, but for 6 (!!!) months from November 2023 to April 2024... and it didn't even end the war!!!!🤡
Putin believes in his own wishful thinking, there... but reality is another thing.
🤡 "Russia’s losses during the war are several times less than Ukraine’s losses. The ratio of irretrievable losses of forces in Russia and Ukraine is 1 to 5", - Putin
❗️"There are 1,348 Russians in Ukrainian captivity, and 6,465 Ukrainians in Russian captivity", Khuilo said.
🇺🇸🤔 Mike Johnson believes that the current authorizations for AFU to use US weapons from the Biden Administration are not enough, - Voice of America
👀 According to him, Washington should stop "micro-managing the war effort in Ukraine", and Johnson himself plans to raise this issue in a conversation with the Biden Administration.
🇺🇦 "I have already spoken about it, and I will speak again. We will have conversations with the White House about this", - said the Speaker to Kateryna Lisunova.
@MAKS23
Inhabitants of Belgorod didn't need that.
Perhaps they'd rather have RBK in their villages, after all... (not that RBKs are nice guys, though...)
🇺🇸🧐 "US President Joe Biden does not want to be responsible for starting World War III", John Kirby told ABC News.
❗️This is how he reacted to the decision to lift the ban on striking the territory of Russia with US weapons. "The president paid attention to the interagency team's discussion, made sure he understood all the implications of this request, and then approved it."
@MAKS23
Anyway, even if there is a third world war as a consequence of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, no one outside Russia will be the one responsible for it.
In fact we all already know the name of the person who will be the one responsible for this: Vladimir Vladimirovitch Poutine.
@MAKS23
24 km "only"?
Good: it is far less than a CEASAR: so with a Ceasar positionned 30-35 km away, AFU can destroy it... provided they know the precise location of this Malva, of course.
🤔🇩🇪 AFU at least once used the German Patriot over the territory of the Russian Federation, - Bild
📞🚫 In response they received angry calls from Berlin and Washington and threats to stop the supply of air defence missiles if a similar incident happened again.
@MAKS23
Did Netanyahu recieve such angry phonecalls from Berlin for his use of western-provided weapons on NON-military targets outside his own territory?
🇸🇪✈️🚫 "Sweden has been asked to pause plans to transfer the JAS-39 Gripen to Ukraine", - Minister of Defence of Sweden
❗️The reason is that Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark and Norway are already preparing the transfer of F-16s, and therefore the "Gripens" should wait so as not to interfere with the air coalition.
@MAKS23
Sounds stupid, considering Ukraine has been asking and waiting for planes for at least 15 months...
And now that these planes are about to finally arrive, that should be postponed for organisational reasons?
Like, it would have been impossible to have either the Gripens or the F-16 arrive if only 3 months eralier so as not to arrive at the exact same moment a the other type of planes?
In French there is a word for this situation: "ubuesque".
@MAKS23 Seems unusual: the King Himself greets the Ukrainian president at the airport.
Generally, a foreign Head of State is greeted at the airport by the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The fact that the official Head of State does the greeting may be a political signal: perhaps Felipe is "fully" behind supporting Ukraine, while the Prime Minister is more focused on internal political problems and not-so-much focused on supporting Ukraine? (quite likely conseridering the current situation in 🇪🇸...)
@MAKS23 Russia has a demographic "outnumber" of women vs men.
In Afghanistan, for lack of medical care and suicide and famine over the past three 2-3 years under the taliban rule, women have been dying even more than men.
Solution: perhaps arranged marriages between Russian women and Afghan men, under the Taliban rule???
If so, no doubt that Russian women will be overjoyed.
...Or Not.
@MAKS23
Iranian reconnaissance drone crashed?
Now we understand why Iran had to resort to beg for Europeans and US to lend them western drones to go in search for their missing president's helicopter last week🤣
⚡️🇺🇸🇺🇦 "The Americans have told the Russians that if you explode a nuke, even if it doesn’t kill anybody, we will hit all your targets [positions] in Ukraine with conventional weapons, we’ll destroy all of them. Chinese and Indians have read Russia the riot act", - Sikorski
@MAKS23
"Hit all their positions in Ukraine"?
That's all? Seriously? In punishment for a nuclear attack?
Whoa, with statements like that, Putin must be terrified of getting a slap on the wrist if for instance he ever uses forbidden chemical weapons against Ukrainians...
Oh wait, he already does exactly that... and still didn't even get any slap on anything from Ukraine's so-called "friends" 😡 🤦
