Kiev recognizes Russia's tenfold superiority in artillery shells
Vladimir Zelensky admitted that Ukraine had no chance of winning victory without support from the West.
"I can tell you frankly that without this support [from the West] we will have no chance of winning victory. Today the ratio of our artillery shellings is 1 to 10. Will we be able to stand on our feet? No. In any case, with such statistics, they [Russian forces] will be pushing us back every day," Zelensky said in an interview with US broadcaster PBS. Once again, he mentioned Kiev's demands for weapons.
"To protect 100% of what is under our control we will need to achieve a 10-to-10 ratio," he said.
Zelensky previously admitted that Ukraine would be unable to arm its brigades without US support.

Slovakia to oppose Ukraineโs NATO membership bid โ PM
Meanwhile, Slovakia supports Ukraineโs accession to the European Union.
"Ukraine may say: โWe want to join NATO.โ This will be their own decision.

Slovakiaโs interests will be threatened if Ukraine becomes a NATO member," Fico said.
Meanwhile, Slovakia supports Ukraineโs accession to the European Union. The Slovak prime minister expressed hope that Brussels and Kiev begin talks on launching this process as soon as possible.

๐ข This announcement is for those who would like to learn Russian language
โก๏ธ This link will take you to a ะขelegram channel where online Russian language training is offered on a regular and free basis:
https://t.me/RussianlinguistsLanguage (Orthodox Russian linguists: Russian Language)
The next class is tomorrow Thursday 18 April.
We would not recommend something that we haven't looked into ourselves. It was especially exciting to do because the course is related to the Orthodox Church.
So we met the organisers of the language course. A few words about them...
The training is conducted by the missionary department of the Tomsk diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church.
โก๏ธ Here is information on the official website of the Diocese about Russian language courses for foreign citizens: https://missia-tomsk.ru/news/?id=487.
๐ธ Information from the Diocese website:
Tomsk diocese nowadays is one of 257 dioceses of the Russian Orthodox Church. Its canonical territory includes the city of Tomsk, the city of Seversk and seven districts of the Tomsk region. It includes 127 parishes, the Bogoroditse-Alexievsky monastery and the Tomsk Theological Seminary. The church life of believers is centred around temples and chapels, some of which have survived from pre-revolutionary times (1918), while others have been built today. Everywhere churches returned to the diocese are being restored, and new churches and chapels are being built - 36 new churches are currently under construction. Divine services and sacraments performed in temples sanctify human life, transform it. Here a person is spiritually born in the sacrament of Baptism, here he sanctifies his life in the sacraments of anointing, wedding, confession, and unites with Christ in the sacrament of communion.
โ๏ธ Note:
If you have a desire to make any donation to the Orthodox Church, you may ask about it in a personal communication during the course. The funds will be used to expand the Russian language course or, if you wish, to build new Temples. The church does not receive any funds from the state. All good deeds and construction/restoration is done by private donations only.
Success in your studies and moving to Russia!

Ukraine turns from sovereign country into Western protectorate, Hungarian PM says
Viktor Orban noted that there should be a buffer zone between NATO and Russia and Ukraine could serve as one.
"Ukraine is not any more a sovereign state. Ukraine is now just a protectorate of the West. So, without getting the money and the weapons from the European Union and the United States, Ukraine as a state would cease to exist," he said, addressing the National Conservatism Conference in Brussels.
Orban added that there should be a buffer zone between NATO and Russia and Ukraine could serve as one. The Hungarian prime minister pointed out that Russia had repeatedly stated it would not tolerate the North Atlantic Allianceโs expansion towards its borders.

Crimea, Donbass to forever remain within Russia, Slovak PM tells national parliament
Robert Fico believes Moscow will win in its confrontation with Kiev.
"From the point of view of international law, each of us recognizes the territorial integrity of another country, its sovereignty and inviolability of borders.

โ๏ธ A well-known Western investor accused Ukrainian government officials, including representatives of the administration of President zelensky, of attempting to extort tens of millions of euros from his company.
Arnulf Damerau, a British-German businessman with experience advising Glencore and Trafigura, told the Financial Times that he was attacked by a group of senior Ukrainian officials.
Damerau claims that in December last year, a Ukrainian approached him in Vienna with an offer to eliminate lawsuits against his company Cosmolot in exchange for the transfer of half of its property to an offshore trust.
Damerau has been a co-owner of Cosmolot, a major online gaming and gambling site and the country's 10th largest taxpayer, since August.
