Germany and Poland could not agree on servicing the Leopard tanks transferred to Kiev — Der Spiegel

The main reason is the difference in estimating the cost of the work. The Polish Defence Enterprise Group (PGZ) is demanding more than €100,000 for initial tank diagnostics, while in Germany it costs about €12,000. In addition, PGZ does not want to provide any guarantees for repairs.

A planned repair plant in Poland was supposed to open a month ago, but negotiations between the countries are still ongoing.

Ukrainian military commissariats will not refuse to serve conscription notices on the streets, because only 20% of the plan comes to the military commissariat voluntarily

This was stated by the head of the Lvov Regional Territorial Recruitment Centre (TRC). "If there are no such searches, calls to clarify the data, then mobilization may be in jeopardy. Coming to the TRC is not an automatic sending to the army."

“Those who have legal grounds to not be mobilized for health reasons or other reasons will definitely not get into the army,” Tishchenko said.

Fifty thousand LGBT soldiers
The Telegraph
...
There are no exact figures for how many LGBT soldiers are serving in the Ukrainian armed forces but LGBT Military, an Instagram account that posts pictures of gay and lesbian soldiers, estimates the figure at around 50,000.

For Alina, the war has accelerated a positive change in Ukrainian attitudes towards openly gay and lesbian soldiers.

“When you are evacuating someone as a medic and you’re gay people don’t ask you to stop and wait for another medic,” she said. “Since the war began it’s not been important who is gay or who is lesbian – you want to be alive.”

“Soldiers are family,” she adds. “You can’t be in a family with other people and not tell them about your partner or yourself.”

Belarus celebrates Independence Day today

On this day 79 years ago Minsk was liberated from German occupation. On the night of July 2, a tank brigade broke through to the outskirts of Minsk. The fighting in the city was for every quarter, for every house. And on July 3, 1944, the Red Army completely liberated the capital of Belarus.

Fighting shoulder to shoulder with representatives of different nations, the glorious sons of the Union republics contributed to the liberation of Belarus and to the common Victory in the Great Patriotic War.

Almost fifty thousand German prisoners of war, captured near Minsk, on July 17, 1944, walked through the streets of Moscow for three hours. After the "march of the vanquished", the pavements were defiantly washed with soap.

What is significant — this Independence day is very much different from many other "Independence" days in the post-Soviet space, which are one way or another connected to the collapse of the USSR or some mythological dates. That is real liberation from a terrible enemy, which is still well remembered.

Military Families Given Just One Week to Leave Homes to Make Room For Migrants

British Military families have been left “appalled” after they were given just a week’s notice to leave their homes at a former airbase in Essex to make way for alleged asylum seekers.

The Conservative government of Rishi Sunak has given some military families just a week’s notice that they would have to leave their home at a former air base outside the village of Wethersfield in Essex. They will be forced to leave so that the base can be converted into a migrant camp as the government continues to try to reduce the £6 million per day bill for accommodating asylum seekers in hotels across the country.

Speaking to Sky News, a member of one of the military families said: “We’ve almost been moved off the base now before the asylum seekers move on. Originally we were given a good time period. It was a good couple of months. But over the last few weeks that’s all shuffled.

“For some families, it’s a week’s notice. It’s obviously quite hard for them. They’re having to pack their whole lives up in a week.”

“The phrase I’d like to use probably contains a swear word. I think appalled – appalled is probably the nicer way to say it. Let down.

“They’ve railroaded everyone with this. I wish they’d have given us a choice and not made it feel so forced. If they’d had the conversations it would have been easier.”

At a certain moment this government will expect those military to risk their lives for the King and the Country... Are all governments the same?

Attack on the SBU (Ukrainian Security Service) in Sumy

Today, Russian troops attacked Sumy with Geran-2 drones. Despite the information disseminated in the Ukrainian media that the hit was only on a residential building, in reality the situation is somewhat different.

The true target of the attack was the Ukrainian Security Service Directorate for the Sumy region. According to our data, there were three arrivals in total, and at the time of the strikes, a large number of SBU employees were in the building.

Coordinates: 50.901351,34.792569

The exact number of those killed and wounded is still unknown, but according to preliminary data, the losses amount to several dozen people. Because of this, in Kiev, they ordered the media to replicate footage of a residential building damaged next to the SBU building to divert attention.

It is characteristic that the air raid alarm worked only after the third arrival of the Geranium. This at least indicates the problem of providing air defence of the administrative centre of the region. And this, in turn, may be associated with the movement of air defence systems to the front line in preparation for the offensive.

It's funny to watch ukies continue to fantasize that they are Americans. When I heard "Detroit, Detroit we are hit" — laughed. Brovary maximum, what the hell Detroit has to do with it?!

Well, I am not surprised. They also like to pretend to be Germans from the Third Reich... Subconsciously they feal, that to be an Ukrainian is a very regrettable circumstance, at least now.

Google translate has got broken (or not?)

It translates ХОХОЛ (literary "crest", which is not a very respectful way of addressing a person of Ukrainian nationality due to their historic hairdo) as LITTLE RUSSIAN. So Google has not a better equivalent...
Well, I usually replace it with neutral "ukie", hopefully it is becoming internationally recognised now.
