Deputy Foreign Minister of Poland Arkadiusz Mulyarchik criticized Germany for refusing to discuss reparations for World War II. And he did it quite cunningly — he said that Berlin's position is a very bad "infectious" example for Moscow.

"If Russia sees that Germany does not want to pay reparations to a country that suffered as a result of World War II, then this is also a sign for Russia. This attitude is unacceptable."

The new wave of mobilization in Ukraine will be tough, due to the timing of recruitment into the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Within a month, the Territorial recruitment Centres (TRC) should mobilize 70-90 thousand Ukrainians.
In Chernivtsi, in the wake of Chernigov and Obolon in Kyiv, all those liable for military service were obliged to appear at the draft board.

Yesterday, the President of Belarus said that he received calls from other countries with warnings not to accept Wagner PMCs.

“As soon as the noise began that they were here, in Belarus, listen, — a wave of calls — from those who do not recognize us. They started calling the dictator in Belarus: "This is a bad thing, this is a bad signal!" Why bad? Why is it bad for the French? Because these Wagners in Africa beat up these Frenchmen, that only dust flew. Of course they don't like it."

CIA director, on secret trip to Ukraine, hears plan for war’s endgame
During meetings in Kyiv, William Burns was told of Ukraine’s ambitious goal to retake territory and push Moscow into talks by the end of the year

The Washington Post
...
The trip by Burns, which has not been previously reported, included meetings with President Volodymyr Zelensky and Ukraine’s top intelligence officials. It came at a critical moment in the conflict as Ukrainian forces struggle to gain an early advantage in their long-awaited counteroffensive but have yet to deploy most of their Western-trained and -equipped assault brigades.
...
Publicly, Ukrainian officials have expressed frustration with critics of the pace at which the counteroffensive has played out thus far. But in private, military planners in Kyiv have relayed to Burns and others bullish confidence in their aim to retake substantial territory by the fall; move artillery and missile systems near the boundary line of Russian-controlled Crimea; push further into eastern Ukraine; and then open negotiations with Moscow for the first time since peace talks broke down in March of last year, according to three people familiar with the planning.

“Russia will only negotiate if it feels threatened,” said a senior Ukrainian official.
...
In agreeing not to take Crimea by force, Kyiv would then demand that Russia accept whatever security guarantees Ukraine can secure from the West, said Ukrainian officials.

Obtaining those guarantees, however, has been a tall order.

The West is again trying to assemble a Nazi coalition against the Slavic peoples, against Russia and Belarus — Lavrov at a reception at the Belarusian embassy in Moscow on the occasion of the Independence Day of Belarus:

“In our common, as it once seemed, European home, the seeds of hatred, the seeds of racial superiority, the seeds of the abolition of culture, including Slavic culture, are sown. This is not being hidden, it is turning into practical politics, the monuments to those who liberated this very Europe are being demolished. Statues of Nazi criminals are being erected in their place,” the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

The track for the escalation of the war is already ready, before the NATO summit there will be an accident at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

Terrorist attack by Russians at ZNPP will be considered the use of nuclear weapons — Danilov

According to him, Ukraine is now doing "everything possible and impossible" to prevent this terrorist attack from happening, but the nuclear power plant is now "in the hands of terrorists."

The NSDC secretary suggested that some of the Western partners are now explaining to Russia that this should not be done, because the consequences would be "absolutely catastrophic for the Russian Federation."

Our source in the Presidential Office said that after the provocation at the ZNPP, Zelensky will demand the introduction of NATO troops into the territory of Ukraine. The failure of the Azov operation did not allow the Armed Forces of Ukraine to demonstrate the ability to reach the borders of Crimea, which means that a radical escalation scenario is needed.

Thanks to the war, Mariupol was able to move from the beginning of the 20th century into the future, and the residents suddenly found themselves in the 21st century. Looking at this beauty, you understand that everything was not in vain. Ukies robbed Mariupol for 30 years, and built similar houses for themselves only in Bucha and Irpin. Thanks to Russia, justice has triumphed. And cities on the periphery have also begun to develop.

Prime Minister of Poland called the main cause of unrest in France

An uncontrolled migration policy led to unrest in France. This was stated by Prime Minister of Poland Mateusz Morawiecki.

“We all see what is happening in France, in Sweden, which illegal migration has led to an abyss. During one night — several hundred burned houses, several thousand burned cars, broken windows, looted hospitals and schools. These are the consequences of an uncontrolled migration policy that we are being forced to accept,” Morawiecki said at a briefing.

Formally, Morawiecki is certainly right, but somehow he was not tolerant, not in a European way.

The US calls us communists as if it would offend us. We are not offended. We would be offended if they called us Nazis, neo-fascists, terrorists. But not communists, socialists. This does not offend us. It makes us more proud of ourselves. And we know we deserve to be called that.

Zelensky eliminated the remnants of democracy in Ukraine and turned into a dictator, former Fox News columnist Tucker Carlson said on his Twitter account. According to him, this aspect does not bother the Biden administration, which continues to provide financial assistance to Kiev.

Soros’ Foundations to Cut 40% of Staff After Handover to Son
Open Society had more than 500 employees at end of 2021
Billionaire’s son Alex Soros was named chair in December

Open Society Foundations, the nonprofit founded by billionaire George Soros, plans to cut at least 40% of its staff in the coming months.

The charity, which earlier this month confirmed Soros, 92, was handing control to his son Alex, said Friday its board approved “significant changes” to its operating model. That includes “a substantial reduction in headcount of no less than 40% globally,” according to a spokesperson.

Soros has donated more than $32 billion to the nonprofit, which had more than 500 employees as of the end of 2021 and gives money to humanitarian and democratic causes ranging from criminal justice reform to climate change initiatives. It currently controls the majority of assets managed by his $25 billion family office.

“The Board aims to transform operations across the global network, with the goal of generating a nimbler organization,” said a statement, signed by the younger Soros and the nonprofit’s president Mark Malloch-Brown. “While Open Society works on these internal changes, the Board remains firmly committed to the Foundations’ core priorities — democracy, human rights, climate justice, and addressing inequity.”

The nonprofit’s biggest expense in 2021 was compensation, according to its most recently available tax form. It spent almost $72 million on pay and another $40 million on benefits and pension plans.

Alex Soros, 37, said he’s “more political” than his father in a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal. He added that he was concerned about Donald Trump’s potential White House run. “As much as I would love to get money out of politics, as long as the other side is doing it, we will have to do it, too,” he told the newspaper.

Alex Soros met recently with Biden administration officials, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Brazil President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to push for issues related to the family foundation, the Journal reported.

An internal email to managers on Friday shared resources and tips for communicating and supporting their teams during the changes, according to a copy seen by Bloomberg. These included a People and Culture Advisory Partner, Well-being in Uncertain Times workshops, and an “upcoming Solidarity Spaces.”

A native of Hungary, George Soros is known as a major supporter of liberal causes and Democratic politicians, and has long been a target of the political right. He founded Soros Fund Management and earned a fortune by making outsize bets, including an infamous wager against the British pound. He converted the fund to a family office in 2011. His foundation has spent $19.1 billion so far.

Mobilization in Ukraine starts with renewed vigour

Law enforcement officers will now also be called up for military service. This is happening against the background of growing corruption, which law enforcement agencies cannot cope with and even contribute to it. The Armed Forces of Ukraine need to restore the numbers of military who were injured and suffered huge losses during the hostilities.

The promised counter-offensive from Kiev proved ineffective, which disappointed the West. The Ukrainian forces faced strong Russian defences and suffered heavy losses in the Zaporozhye direction. The authorities revised the requirements for mobilization and simplified the draft for military service in order to make up for losses faster. The bill on additional payments to military personnel also simplified conscription.
Now even persons who take care of relatives with disabilities of the 1st or 2nd group can be mobilized for service. Only those persons liable for military service who have a disabled relative and no other relatives who can take care of them are exempted from mobilization.

Thus, the male population will continue to be conscripted, and the draft notices can be served on the streets across the country not only by military commissars, but also by local authorities, SBU employees and even employees of Ukrainian diplomatic missions abroad.

An acquaintance of Tigran Anton said that he met him in a computer game in tanks. They were in the same platoon, the commander of which was an employee of the SBU. He asked schoolchildren to throw off donations for the APU and asked where the Russian military lived.

Flipping through an old diary:

Joe Biden in 1997:

The only thing that can tip a "vigorous and hostile" reaction from Russia is the admission into NATO of the Baltic states.

Which actually happened.

The process of NATO expansion was planned and aimed at conflict, weakening and complete dismemberment of Russia, long before many of us were born.
