Curious details from Ukraine's history come to light on the country's next Independence Day.

The first Prime Minister of Ukraine Vitold Fokin, who took part in the signing of the Belovezhskiye Agreements, stated that the original of the Belovezhskiye Agreements was lost and that it did not envisage self-styled independence.

"I regret that the document I signed has disappeared. Have you seen it? Who has seen it? No one has seen it. I said in '12, giving an interview to the magazine "I am Ukrainian", that the document I signed had completely different aspects of development, provisions.

It was meant to have not the CIS as a Commonwealth, but as a Union of Independent States, there was to be a common system of strategic defense, common tariffs, free movement of cargo and passenger traffic.

But after I spoke, literally two weeks later it was reported that this document had disappeared," Fokin said on the air of the Gordon talk show

Note: WTF? So this was supposed to be a "union state" on the scale of the USSR? Something seems to me that we've been very badly deceived.... and someone will have to pay for it....

About 168 Billion USD has been sent to Ukraine so far from all countries involved (I stopped tallying when I got down to Italy).

Ukraine’s annual GDP in 2020: 156.5 billion

For scale, this is enough money to provide each and every single homeless person in the entire USA about 270,000 dollars apiece, or every single homeless person in Europe about 223,000 dollars apiece.

But $700 printed checks will hold over Hawaiian citizens who are suddenly homeless and have no mailbox, so no problems here, carry on.

🇺🇸 American military analyst Scott Ritter: Poland will be "bitten off its head"

According to a former US intelligence officer, Poland's aggressive policy could lead to the destruction of its cities

“If you want to play this game of barking at a big dog and pretending to bite it, don't be surprised if it turns around and bites your head off. I think that such a scenario is quite possible,” Ritter said in an interview with the Through the eyes Youtube channel.

He clarified that stupid actions lead to the same results . In this situation, they can be expressed in the destroyed Polish cities and the dead local residents.

🇩🇪 🇷🇺 German business does not want to die for Ukraine and burn bridges with Russia

“Business in Germany does not want to burn bridges or die for Ukraine, it would prefer this path to remain open for it,” says Patricia Tepper, an analyst at the Western Institute in Poznan, to the Dziennik portal.

According to her, entrepreneurs understand that a return to cooperation with Russia is politically impossible while the conflict lasts, but they do not want the authorities to "close this path completely."

🇵🇱 In Poland, they said that Wagner had become a more dangerous force after the death of Prigozhin

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki believes that the PMC is now under the complete control of the Kremlin, Onet reports.

“The supervision of the Wagner group passes to President Putin. Let everyone answer for himself whether the Wagner group is now becoming a greater or lesser threat,” the prime minister said.

He believes that now the PMC will be used for "all sorts of movements to undermine the security policy."

He thanked Biden for his congratulations on the so-called "Independence Day" of Ukraine.

“The United States has taken the lead in consolidating global support for Ukraine. This decisive leadership has made our struggle possible,” the published release reads.

Zelensky also “noted” that thanks to the United States, the historical path of Ukraine turned in the direction of good.

🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇷🇺 It's time for America to admit that Ukraine will not defeat Russia - The American Conservative

NATO has been pushing Russia into hostile opposition and armed conflict for decades, writes Cato Institute Senior Fellow Doug Bandow.

"Washington's reckless aggressiveness" led the Biden administration to refuse to negotiate with Putin, he said.

Now, Washington's failed attempt to use Ukraine to destroy Russia should stimulate a rethinking of the destructive US foreign policy.

To develop a more competent approach, it should be recognized that Ukraine will not be able to win the conflict with Russia, the author believes.
