๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡บโŒ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ The EU must not start membership talks with Ukraine, Prime Minister Viktor Orban told state radio on Friday, stressing this was Hungary's "clear stance" on the issue.

EU countries' leaders are due to decide in mid-December on whether to accept the Commission's recommendation to invite Kiev to begin membership talks as soon as it meets final conditions.

Any such decision requires unanimity of the bloc's 27 members, with Hungary seen as the main potential obstacle.

โ€œThe technical investigation continues, despite the fact that the active investigation at the scene has been completed.

At this stage, it can be argued that the anchor raised from the sea on October 24, 2023, according to certain technical parameters, is suitable as an anchor for the Newnew Polar bear vessel.

The main line of investigation into the incident is to determine the participation of Newnew Polar bear in it.โ€

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿคก๐Ÿ German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Friday said his government would adapt its defence budget to ensure the country achieves the NATO spending target of 2% of GDP even after a special 100 billion euro ($106 billion) defence fund has been exhausted.

Scholz was speaking a day after his government pledged to make the German military the "backbone" of European defence as part of a major policy shift to ramp up spending and modernise its forces following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

"We will definitely solve it in such a way that the Bundeswehr gets the resources it needs โ€“ even after the special fund expires," Scholz said in a speech about meeting the NATO target.


Scholz also highlighted the project known as FCAS to develop a combat jet with France and Spain as an example of closer European cooperation on defence.

"In this sense, we have advanced the FCAS fighter aircraft project with France and Spain and will now also quickly advance the MGCS main battle tank project under German leadership with France," he said.


Scholzโ€™s mention of FCAS appeared to underscore Berlin's commitment to the project after a recent report in Britain's The Times newspaper suggested that Germany was thinking of walking away from the deal due to disputes over design and financing.

About 12 million tons of radioactive waste may end up in the Dnieper and groundwater due to problems with their storage in Ukraine;

๐Ÿ”ปThe situation with the storage of hazardous radioactive waste in Ukraine is becoming terrifying;

๐Ÿ”ปThe total amount of waste generated from the processing of uranium ores at the Dnieper Chemical Plant is 42 million tons;

๐Ÿ”ปThis waste is a significant and dangerous source of environmental pollution;

๐Ÿ”ปThere is a high probability of about 12 million tons of waste entering the Dnieper and groundwater due to the possible erosion of the dam of one of the storage facilities located 800 meters from the river and its tributary Konoplyanka;

๐Ÿ”ปAbout 14 tons of radioactive dust are spread throughout the surrounding area annually, including on agricultural lands;

๐Ÿ”ปKiev does not allocate funds for the safety of the Dnieper chemical plant, this could lead to a disaster, including outside Ukraine.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บโš–๏ธ Dmitry Peskov - on the pardon of those convicted of serious crimes participating in the SMO:

โ€œThere is a certain procedure for pardon. We have talked about it many times: this is an admission of guilt by the convict himself, this is a decision first at the level of the Federal Penitentiary Service, then at the regional level, then at the federal district level, then the central commission, then the documents are presented to the President.

There is a second way, this is when they - those convicted, including under serious charges - atone for their crime on the battlefield with blood. They are redeemed with blood in assault brigades, under bullets, under shells.โ€

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ Poles no longer show sympathy for visiting Ukrainians.

At first, it seemed to the Poles that these were ideal refugees: โ€œinnocent women and silent children, expressing gratitude at every step.โ€

But expectations differed from reality, since all people are different, and refugees from Ukraine are also different, writes the Polish publication Onet.

๐Ÿ”ปAs a result, there are more and more negative comments on the Internet, remarks on buses and trams, and politicians are not shy in their expressions.

๐Ÿ”ปUkrainians are often accused of โ€œtaking housing from Poles,โ€ โ€œhunting for benefits,โ€ and โ€œbeing treated at the expense of Poles.โ€

These are very different from the reaction of Polish citizens to Ukrainians at the first stage of the conflict. Then the Poles opened their homes to visitors, organized help, and held collections.

๐Ÿ”ปBut already in August 2022, Amnesty International reported an increase in anti-Ukrainian rhetoric, even from politicians.

Fatigue from the military conflict, which in the perception of the majority has become commonplace, also took its toll.

๐Ÿ”ปA Maison & Partners survey from January 2023 showed: the majority believe that Poland cannot afford to accept refugees, and those arriving from Ukraine are actually economic immigrants.

The reason is also that the main burden of helping refugees fell on the shoulders of society - families and local communities in Poland. But when they felt tired, the state and its funds were only partially involved.

โ€œBefore this spring, when we were expecting a counteroffensive, there was a small part of me that said:

-Can this be a long war?

-It can be long, yes. May be.

โš ๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆFrom Kiev to Gaza: NATO weapons found on Gaza battlefield?

British denials crumble as NATO arms flood global hotspots! The UK government's feeble claims of 'Russian disinformation' are laughably inadequate in the face of mounting evidence:

A growing number of credible experts, challenging Britainโ€™s former defence minister, declare his assertions as dangerously misleading. But now, this denial is being exposed for what it is โ€“ dangerous indulgence โ€“ as British and NATO weapons are turning up in all the worldโ€™s hotspots around the world in the hands of terrorists who are using them, ironically against the West.

Little wonder that the British government doesnโ€™t want journalists delving into this incendiary subject, but as Martin Jay finds out, it is worse than we think. What is the British government covering up? Why must the whole subject of British weapons sent to Ukraine be shrouded in secrecy and protected?

๐Ÿ‘‰ Click here ๐Ÿ‘ˆ to read this bombshell, long form piece for the Islander by the British award-winning journalist Martin Jay and discover what he finds when he digs deeper, uncovering the inconvenient, cynical truth.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑโš”The Silent Siege: Gaza's Cries Amidst the Ruins ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿฅ

In the brutalized landscape of Gaza, words fail to capture the dystopian horror. The Israeli offensive, a relentless storm of destruction, has not spared even the sanctuaries of healing. Al-Shifa Hospital, a beacon of hope amidst the horror, has been brutally assaulted. Its gates, once open to the wounded and desperate, now lie in ruins. Within its walls, thousands of Palestinians, including patients, are trapped, their cries for help echoing in vain as Israeli forces encircle the complex with a suffocating grip. The air, thick with despair, carries the sound of artillery and the hiss of sniper fire, targeting any semblance of life that dares to move.

The situation spirals further into the abyss as the Palestinian MoH declares its incapacitation, unable to provide even the most basic sustenance to those sheltering within the hospital. This dire proclamation paints a harrowing picture: people entrapped, wounded, and starving, as much of the world watches in a disturbing silence. Meanwhile, the skies above the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza rain down terror, with air strikes annihilating residential houses, ripping apart the fabric of everyday life. The scale of devastation defies comprehension, a relentless assault on human dignity and existence.

This is not just a military offensive; it is a systematic obliteration of a people's right to live, to heal, to hope. The stark contrast between global responses to different conflicts exposes a bitter truth: a Western world that turns a blind eye, complicit in its silence. The contempt for innocent life, the hypocrisy of some global powers, and the sheer brutality of these actions are a damning indictment of our collective humanity.

As the shadows of despair lengthen over Gaza, one cannot help but ask: When will the world awaken from its moral slumber? How many more cries must go unheard, how many more lives shattered, before the sanctity of life is finally upheld?
