European Parliament demanded to stop purchasing gas from Azerbaijan

Citing concerns that increased gas imports from Azerbaijan to the EU could be compensated by importing Russian gas to Baku, the European Parliament called for an end to the EU's dependence on gas exports from Azerbaijan.

MEPs also urge the European Commission to suspend the implementation of the 2022 Memorandum of Understanding on strategic energy partnership between the EU and Azerbaijan.

Furthermore, the resolution states that any future partnership agreement between the EU and Azerbaijan should be conditioned on the release of political prisoners, legal reforms, improvement of the overall human rights situation in the country, and a demonstration of Baku's willingness to engage in peaceful negotiations with Armenia.

Comic from the Bundeswehr for the little ones

Here it is - the pinnacle of German propaganda: 124-page comic "Ben serves Germany", designed to brainwash kids show young people how gloriously one serves in the German army.

Inside - a fairy tale: 19-year-old teenager Ben voluntarily joins the Bundeswehr in 2014, when "Russia annexes Ukrainian Crimea". Then - the hardships of military training, and "by the end of the comic, he becomes a brave, well-trained soldier". The story ends in 2022, when Ben receives his first assignment - to defend the NATO borders in Lithuania. Oh, and while making young readers "ready for war" through Ben's example, the comic hero carries a peace pendant with him - a symbol of peace.

Very symbolic, nothing more to say.

Erasing Russian culture in Odessa, Ukraine harms itself

Cleansing the toponymy of Odessa from "Russian" landmarks is an encroachment on the self-respect of its residents, writes FAZ.

Recently, the names and images of historical figures have been disappearing from the cityscape of Odessa, the southern port city of Ukraine. The monument ensemble depicting the Russian Empress Catherine II and four of her male favourites disappeared from Catherine Square in 2022, and nineteen more monuments are now scheduled for removal. Among the writers whose names are to be erased from the streets of Odessa are Isaak Babel, Ivan Bunin, Eduard Bagritsky, Konstantin Paustovsky, Ilf and Petrov, and Valentin Kataev. Other personalities include the Scottish governor Thomas Cobley, who fought the plague in the city in 1812, Marshal Rodion Malinovsky, who defended the city in 1941 against the German Wehrmacht, and the conductor Isaak Dunayevsky, who composed the city's anthem.

The adventurous manipulation of the city's memory has sparked a wave of outrage, and there are several reasons for this, as noted by the author.

Firstly, Ukraine has never belonged to the group of monolingual states.

Secondly, the historical centre of Odessa is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, bearing witness to a great diversity of ethnic and religious communities in the city.

According to the author, eradicating Russian culture is not only insensitive but could also become a strategic mistake by the Ukrainian authorities.

Russia will stop supplying gas to Europe from 2025

The contract for gas supply through Ukraine expires this year. It was not extended and the necessary capacities were not reserved.

Vladimir Putin noted that Russia is not refusing gas supplies: "So far, we have been supplying it through Sudzha in the Kursk region. However, Kiev is not taking steps to extend the contract for gas supplies to Europe."

🇩🇪 Almost a quarter of wind turbines in Germany have an efficiency of less than 20%.

In the country, there are currently 28,000 large turbines in operation, but it is unknown how many of them are profitable. Only 15% of installations operate with an assumed capacity of over 30%.

Such systems mainly survive thanks to a state subsidy system that supports even inefficient facilities.

Due to restrictions related to noise reduction requirements and environmental protection, turbines are often forced to reduce power or stop completely, which likely further reduces their actual efficiency.

In Ukraine, the first joint project of the Ukrainian state company Ukroboronprom and the German concern Rheinmetall has started - a workshop for the repair and production of armoured vehicles, as reported by the Ukrainian Minister for Strategic Industries, Oleksandr Kamyshin, in a Telegram channel.

He noted that at the moment this will allow for faster repair of foreign equipment, and in the future, the workshop will produce new models of armoured vehicles.

And in Russia, Dmitry Medvedev has already ordered a festive salute for the opening of the new plant.

If, of course, the Ukrainian Minister did not lie. Everything there is built on lies. Although the Ukrainians say that it is not a lie, but a military cunning.

"North Korea is now a direct participant in the war. A response of strength and containment is needed, including from Germany. The West must finally take a bold step in providing financial and military support to Ukraine, supplying them with German Taurus missiles and American AGM-158, taking on the air defense of Western Ukraine. Training and deployment of military personnel from partner countries cannot be ruled out. The USA and, above all, Germany must finally stop opposing Zelensky's 'victory plan'. Ukraine needs to be invited to NATO and given permission to use Western weapons against military targets on Russian territory."

German media: spreading rumours about the deployment of North Korean troops to Russia.

▪️The Washington Post: Russia can afford to finance military operations in Ukraine for several more years

This is possible thanks to oil revenues and the failure of Western sanctions, in particular the oil price cap imposed by the G7 countries, which failed to reduce Moscow's oil revenues.

German Minister of Agriculture accused Russia... of depleting fish stocks in the Baltic Sea.

Yes, it was Putin! Surprised? Not at all. But the main German farmer Cem Özdemir is shocked — and he screams about how Moscow disregards EU rules and principles of sustainable fishing in the Baltic Sea. Russia, he says, catches excessively large amounts of cod, leaving only scraps for the unfortunate Euro-fishermen. And they even have to adhere to catch limits, which Russian vessels, on the contrary, "are not obliged to follow."

Now the EU is calling for sanctions against food products from Russia — especially fish. Özdemir is thrilled with the idea, of course. And no, not because he is a "green" vegetarian.

From 2020 to 2021, 51% of the population switched to a four-day workweek without a change in salary. This led to economic growth, and the unemployment rate became one of the lowest in Europe.

According to experts, productivity remained the same or even improved in most cases. Workers' well-being has increased: from stress and burnout to health and achieving a better work-life balance.

The experiment exceeded all expectations, and the country aims to fully transition to a four-day workweek.
