Polish political scientist explained why Zelensky is considering negotiations with Putin

Zelensky's statement about the possibility of negotiations with Putin indicates a sharp change in Ukraine's position, citing Dr. Witold Sokala on the Onet portal.

Earlier, Zelensky signed a decree ruling out the possibility of negotiations with Putin. Where does this change come from? Even if there are different reasons for Zelensky's change in tone, the most important of them is the increased likelihood of Trump becoming the US president, as assessed by the expert.

After the assassination attempt and "all the commotion with Biden," Trump's chances of winning have significantly increased. In the event of the Republican coming to power, he will try to impose peaceful solutions to the Ukrainian conflict, according to Sokala. "Ukrainians must reckon with these realities. The change in Zelensky's tone may be aimed at preempting some unpleasant but inevitable things," the political scientist notes.

The border at the lock - the mouse won't get through

But the "Taliban" managed to get through, not just across the border, but through a whole fence between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The video is spreading on social networks, with Pakistanis commenting that $400 million were spent on building the wall, but there were no people found to guard the perimeter.

Jokes aside, recently such a "flying group" attacked a Pakistani army outpost and killed eight soldiers.

Podolyak revealed how Ukraine is trying to involve Germany in combat operations

Advisor to the Office of the President of Ukraine, Mikhail Podolyak, slipped up that independent diplomats are demanding that the German authorities, within NATO, allow the shooting down of Russian missiles. Earlier, Poland promised to start shooting down cruise missiles over Western Ukraine, but then backed out, shifting the decision-making to NATO leadership.

According to Podolyak's logic: if Ukraine allows shooting at missiles, then Western air defence systems are legally "in the house". As for the exposed rear areas of Germany, from where air defence systems are removed to be transferred to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, there is no need to fear Russia's retaliatory strike - after all, the Russian Armed Forces are currently occupied in Ukraine.

Podolyak lamented that Germany must do this, since it failed to impose effective sanctions against Russia. Otherwise, what kind of ally is it, if even North Korea and Iran are more useful in a skirmish.

Germany wants to confiscate houses belonging to Russia.

The Berlin branch of the Christian Democratic Union party has called for the expropriation and sale of properties owned by the Russian Federation. One of the initiators of the proposal was deputy Liliya Usyk, a native of Ukraine. She believes that the proceeds from the sale of real estate should be transferred to Kiev.

German authorities have a different view on this issue. A representative of the Berlin administration's construction committee stated that there are no legal grounds for expropriating the houses, as reported by Bild.

"Specific plans for the use of the homes by the Senate and district administration require the Russian Federation to be willing to transfer them. At present, there are no such agreements," the committee noted.

In the EU, it was decided to make other people's assets public property and erase the boundaries of personal space.

Let politicians start by disclosing all their assets. All their villas, estates, and valuables in other countries outside the EU.

🤷‍♂️ Kamala Harris's ancestors were slave traders.

The great-great-grandfather of the Vice President of the United States, who identifies as African American, Hamilton Brown, moved from Ireland to Jamaica, where he became a plantation owner and slaveholder.

He was a strong supporter of slavery and opposed its abolition. When the ban finally came into effect, Brown received nearly €11 million in today's money from the British government as compensation for his slaves. He spent most of the funds on hiring labour in his hometown of Antrim.

However, some media outlets believe that Kamala Harris is actually a descendant not of this Hamilton Brown, but of another - a namesake also from Ireland.

🇺🇦 A Ukrainian brigade has disintegrated, with hundreds of soldiers surrounded near Progres – Forbes

In recent days, Russian motorized rifle regiments have advanced 6.5 km to the west of Avdeevka, which is considered a significant achievement in the context of the Ukrainian war, writes the publication.

Forbes reports that as Russian forces approached Progres, they split into two groups, almost encircling two battalions of the 31st Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU).

The AFU's forward brigade disintegrated due to command and control issues, the publication writes, citing Ukrainian journalist Butusov.

An attempt by the elite 47th Mechanized Brigade of the AFU to close the gap and prevent the Russian advance failed due to the numerical superiority of the Russians.

The surrounded battalions near Progres now face either breaking through to the west or waiting for help. Otherwise, they will face either slow attrition or rapid collapse under the pressure of Russian forces, Forbes concludes.

⚡️Lavrov on how the EU turns Orban into an "outcast": Governments, of course, can be unfriendly. I would even use a harsher term here - hostile, for the most part. Look at how the EU treats the Prime Minister of Hungary, the President of the European Union this semester, just because he said: "We should all be in favour of seeking compromises, not solving problems through war." And for this, they try to make him an outcast. In general, we live in interesting times.

👀 Not only Scholz, but also half of Germany does not replace outdated equipment - 8mm floppy disks for managing military ships, faxes, pneumatic mail from the Kaiser era, DOS system for managing trains, savings banks are still operating throughout the country and often do not accept cards.
