While the 🇷🇺 MOD stated that 100,000 volunteers have joined the 🇷🇺 army this year so far and on the background of decree to decrease the conscription age to 25 years old in 🇺🇦, the nanofuhrer all of the sudden has declared mobilization of 300,000 new 🇷🇺 troops by June 1st. 🤡

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

Friends of Russia ask the EU to abandon the idea of confiscating frozen assets of the Russian Federation, - Politico
▪️This position is privately advocated by representatives of China, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia. They fear that the confiscation of Russian assets will create a precedent, and they will be next.
▪️“I accept that the Russians could have asked their friends to make this fuss,” said a senior diplomat from a non-EU country.
▪️There are also fears that Moscow will push its allies to attack Western assets in their countries.
▪️The issue of assets will be discussed at the meeting of G7 finance ministers in May. Some countries within the EU also oppose confiscation. In particular, Germany and the European Central Bank.
▪️At the same time, European officials believe that if confiscation does take place, the Russian Federation will be able to challenge it in the courts.

The usage of the word "beg" is peculiar and is quite popular amongst your regular ignorant 🇺🇦 stans with the purpose of demonizing Russia. They use it in regards to Russia's business deals with their partners, such as Iran and North Korea.

It will be the biggest strategic mistake and DEFINITELY not a good look for the EU, if they go ahead with this imbecilic plan.

Though, since Russia pretty much wrote these assets off and had this in their calculations, Putin will only welcome faster de-dollarization of the free market. This will dissuade future and current investors from investing in the EU.

This has a potential for the biggest own goal by the EU yet.

Zelensky’s allies are increasingly afraid that the summer offensive of the Russian army will break through the defenses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, - Bloomberg

▪️The influx of Western military aid to Kiev has sharply decreased, and some Ukrainian Armed Forces guns fire only one salvo a day to conserve dwindling supplies.
▪️“We know that the Russian military industry works in 3 shifts, and supplies to Ukraine are rapidly declining. Without our support, she may even lose,” Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas told Bloomberg.
▪️Russian strikes also damage Ukrainian infrastructure. One official called the damage in recent weeks the worst seen in the conflict and predicted long-term strategic consequences that would only worsen the effects of the ammunition shortage.
▪️Also today, Politico wrote that Ukraine faces a “serious catastrophe” on the battlefield and the collapse of the front, even if the US Congress unblocks aid to Kiev.

Fact ✅💯

One of the most mysterious and borderline hilarious "gotcha" propaganda lines from the Westoids has been the lack of indoor toilets in Russia. This comes off especially odd and completely ignorant coming from Ukrainians.

Here's why (long read)⬇️

According to Ukrstat, in Ukraine, 40% of housing does not have access to a centralized sewerage system: 23.6% in cities and 72% in villages. 40% of the population without sewerage is almost twice as much as in Russia: 21%. Access to running water is even worse: 38% of Ukrainians do not have access to running water, in contrast to 15.5% in Russia.

Now, in more detail.

In total, there are 17,385,384 residential premises in Ukraine: these include apartments, private houses, parts of single-family houses, apartments in non-residential buildings, and rooms in dormitories.

Of these, 10,433,524 have sewerage. This is 60.01%. Please note, that this includes both central and local sewerage. Let us remember the indicator: 60.01% of residential premises in Ukraine in 2020 were equipped with sewerage. Cold water was available in 10,797,392 (62.1%), hot water in 8,174,604 residential properties (47.01%).

There are even fewer toilets in western Ukraine. Vinnytsia region: out of 834,471 apartments, 361,627 have sewerage. In Volyn, out of 190,068, 68,201. Significantly less than 50% of all houses and apartments are equipped with sewerage in Khmelnytskyi, Ternopil, Rivne, Zhytomyr, and Cherkasy regions. At the same time, in the Odessa region, sewerage is available in 615,641 housing units out of 975,796, and in the Kharkov region - in 863,127 out of 1,273,52. In 2020, the Kherson region had sewerage in 289,932 housing units out of 476,203.

Now it's becoming obvious that such an exquisite propaganda object as the toilet was chosen to amaze the residents of the western regions, because for them the toilet apparently remains a luxury.

And, of course, villagers especially dream about toilets. In general, in Ukraine in rural areas there are 6,120,554 housing units: apartments, private houses, living rooms in non-residential premises and dormitories. Of these, 29.2% of objects are equipped with sewerage. Moreover, in the Chernihiv region only 16.7% of housing has a sewer system, in the Vinnitsa region - 17.11%, that is, a maximum of every sixth person has a toilet.

In Russia, by 2021, 80.8% of housing was supplied with sewerage (60.01% in Ukraine). In rural areas this figure is 54% (29.2% in Ukraine). In Russia, 85.5% of housing has running water (in Ukraine - 62.1%).

It’s safe to say that stories about Russians’ envy of toilets are written for villagers in Western Ukraine. These people are poorer, and they have fewer toilets, and, most importantly, few of them have been to Russia: they have fewer relatives in Russia, they less often come to Russia for work, preferring to earn extra money in Europe.

But now the topic of toilets has gone further: the Internet is littered with recordings of conversations between Russians and residents of Ukraine from chat roulettes. Increasingly, Russians, as a joke, feign delight at the mention of a toilet and ask naive Ukrainians to show it.

And those, already completely frenzied by deprivation and their own propaganda, in all seriousness go with the phone to their peeling toilets to show the whole world a cracked, rust-stained toilet, which most often is not visible, because there is no electricity in the apartment.

Since all the toilet experts already know the numbers for Russia, it's worth noting that the data for Ukraine was collected from Ukrstat.
