Is the BBC the Most Corrupt Broadcaster in the World? - The Expose
BBC staff like to pretend that they have the right to the high moral ground. In reality the BBC (which is, let us never forget, a Government approved, Government controlled propaganda machine) employs 22,000 people who should all be arrested for complicity…

Genuine surprise was expressed by the leader of Hungary regarding the words of the NATO Secretary General that all members of the alliance agree to accept Ukraine into their ranks. Jens Stoltenberg made this statement following the meeting of the NATO-Ukraine contact group at the Ramstein airbase.
The Hungarian Republic, being a member of the North Atlantic Alliance for a quarter of a century, not only did not give its consent to the entry of the Kiev regime into NATO, but also repeatedly opposed the provision of military assistance by the North Atlantic Alliance Ukraine.

UKRAINE ADMITS RUSSIAN 1.5 TON #GLIDE #BOMB IS HARD TO COUNTER
GUIDED AND GLIDE BOMBS: NEW FEATURE IN UKRAINE WAR
There is a difference between a #Glide and a #GuidedBomb.
• A guided bomb is directed to its target from the cockpit of the aircraft releasing it. The bomb is steerable.
• A glide bomb differs in that it is released and glides to its target. While it can be controlled by a pilot or copilot, more typically it operates autonomously once it is released.
The #US has supplied #Ukraine with two different types of glide bombs:
• The GLSDB (ground-launched small diameter bomb) produced by Boeing and #Saab (Sweden), and
• The JDAM-ER (joint direct attack munition-extended range), made by #Boeing.
Russia has two types of precision bombs:
• The Grom E2, which has seen mechanical or electronic faults, and
• The UPAB-1500B-E, is effective and reliable. Ukraine has not been able to jam or shoot down #UPAB bombs.
The US weapons have not been effective and have been intercepted by the Russians.

The Russian Foreign Ministry announced the decision of Germany to expel Russian diplomats
Berlin decided to massively expel Russian diplomats from the country. This was announced on Saturday, April 22, by the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The ministry noted that such actions are aimed at destroying Russian-German relations, including diplomatic dimensions. In addition, the Russian Foreign Ministry condemned the decision of Berlin.
It is noted that Moscow will give Germany a mirror response to the expulsion of Russian diplomats.
“As a reaction to the hostile actions of Berlin, the Russian side decided to mirror the expulsion of German diplomats from Russia,” the ministry said in a statement.
In addition, the Russian Federation will limit the maximum number of employees of the German diplomatic missions in the country. It is noted that on April 5, German Ambassador to Russia Geza Andreas von Geyr was notified of this during a conversation at the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The ministry also noted the violation of the promise of Germany not to tell the media about the next expulsion of Russian diplomats from the country. It is specified that Germany has repeatedly promised not to advertise these actions, however, it has informed the mass sources of information, “the organizations it uses“ controlled leaks ”and disinformation“ stuffing.
On March 27, German Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Andrea Sasse denied media reports that 30 Russian diplomats would allegedly be expelled from the country.
On March 25, the Focus edition reported that Berlin intends to expel more than 30 Russian diplomats due to suspicions of allegedly recruiting for the purpose of further espionage.
In January, the former Polish ambassador to Russia, Katarzyna Pelchynska-Nalencz, said that in an ideal situation, the countries of the European Union and the United States should “expel” all Russian ambassadors from the territory of their states.
In the same month, Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Reinsalu also urged EU countries to consider expelling even more Russian diplomats.
Last year, Russia faced the mass expulsion of its diplomats from European countries amid a special operation to protect the Donbass.
In turn, the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov emphasized that the Kremlin has a negative attitude towards the expulsion of Russian diplomats by the EU countries. According to him, this is a short-sighted step that will complicate communication between countries and will inevitably lead to reciprocal steps.

Russian billionaires see wealth rise to over half a trillion dollars, Forbes Russia reports
— Russian super rich see fortunes increasing
— Billionaires add $152 billion over past year
— Forbes says Russia has 110 billionaires, up 22
MOSCOW, April 22 (Reuters) — Russia's richest people added $152 billion to their wealth over the past year, buoyed by high prices for natural resources and rebounding from the huge loss of fortunes they experienced just after the Ukraine war began, Forbes Russia said.
Russia has 110 official billionaires in the list, up 22 from last year, according to Forbes' Russian edition, which said their total wealth increased to $505 billion from $353 billion when the 2022 list was announced.
The list would have been longer had not five billionaires — DST Global founder Yuri Milner, Revolut founder Nikolay Storonsky, Freedom Finance founder Timur Turlov, and JetBrains co-founders Sergei Dmitriev and Valentin Kipyatkov — renounced their Russian citizenship, Forbes said.
"Last year's rating results were also influenced by apocalyptic predictions about the Russian economy," Forbes said, adding that the total wealth of Russia's billionaires was $606 billion in 2021, before the war began.
After President Vladimir Putin ordered troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24 last year, the West imposed what it casts as the most severe sanctions in modern history on Russia's economy — and some of its richest people — in an attempt to punish Putin for the war.
Putin said the West was trying to destroy Russia and has repeatedly touted the failure of Western sanctions to destroy the Russian economy, or even stop Western luxury goods — let alone basic parts — from ending up in Russia.
...
The price of Urals oil, the lifeblood of the Russian economy, averaged $76.09 per barrel in 2022, up from $69 in 2021. Fertiliser prices were also high last year.
Andrei Melnichenko, who made a fortune in fertilisers, was listed as Russia's richest man by Forbes with an estimated worth of $25.2 billion, more than double what he was estimated to be worth last year. Melnichenko could not be reached for immediate comment on the Forbes ranking.
Vladimir Potanin, president and biggest shareholder of Nornickel (GMKN.MM), the world's largest producer of palladium and refined nickel, was ranked as second richest in Russia with a fortune of $23.7 billion. Potanin could not immediately be reached for comment on the Forbes ranking.
Vladimir Lisin, who controls steelmaker NLMK (NLMK.MM) and was ranked last year as Russia's richest man, was placed third in the Forbes Russia list with a fortune of $22.1 billion. Lisin could not be immediately reached for comment on the Forbes ranking.
Many Russian billionaires cast Western sanctions as a clumsy, and even racist, tool.
Building fortunes as the Soviet Union crumbled, a small group of tycoons known as the oligarchs persuaded the Kremlin under late President Boris Yeltsin to give them control over some of the biggest oil and metals companies in the world.
The privatisation deals often propelled the tycoons into the league of the world’s super rich, earning them the enduring dislike of millions of impoverished Russians.
But under Putin, some of the original oligarchs, such as Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Boris Berezovsky, were stripped of their assets, which eventually ended up under the sway of state companies often run by former spies.
New Russian names in the Forbes list include billionaires who made their money in snacks, supermarkets, chemicals, building and pharmaceuticals, indicating that Russian domestic demand has remained strong despite the sanctions.

💢 Former Soviet countries (like Ukraine) have no effective status in international law — neither their borders nor their existence have real status, says Chinese Ambassador to France Lu Shaye.
Lu Shaye also said on French television that Crimea was "originally Russian".
The Chinese ambassador, answering the host's question about whom Crimea belongs to said that “Crimea was originally part of Russia. It was Hruschyov who offered Crimea to Ukraine, but during the time of the Soviet Union”.
He also added that the former Soviet countries "have no effective status in international law" because "there is no international agreement that would materialize their status as sovereign countries".
