Volkswagen plans to close at least three plants in Germany 🇩🇪
In a surprising announcement, the works council of Volkswagen has revealed that the automotive giant is planning to close at least three of its plants in Germany. This decision could lead to the elimination of tens of thousands of jobs. Daniela Cavallo, the chairwoman of the group works council, informed the workforce in Wolfsburg about these drastic measures. She emphasised that all remaining sites could also be affected by downsizing.
The plant in Osnabrück is particularly at risk, having recently lost a significant follow-up order from Porsche. Cavallo pointed out that management is also considering layoffs due to operational reasons. The potential loss of tens of thousands of jobs looms as entire departments could be shut down or relocated abroad.
Volkswagen currently employs around 120,000 people in Germany, with approximately half of them working in Wolfsburg. The brand operates a total of ten plants in the country, including six in Lower Saxony, three in Saxony, and one in Hesse. In September, VW terminated the job security agreement that had been in place for over 30 years, which could allow for layoffs due to operational reasons starting in mid-2025.
These developments raise questions about the future of the automotive industry in Germany and present significant challenges to VW's workforce.

Boris Johnson accused Georgia of election fraud and supported the opposition
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson accused the authorities of Georgia of "stealing the elections." According to Johnson, the recent elections were falsified.
In his microblog, the politician expressed support for the Georgian people.
Earlier, the party "Georgian Dream" won 53.92% of the votes in the parliamentary elections in Georgia, while four opposition parties that entered parliament received a total of 37.78%. The opposition party "Coalition for Changes" stated that the election results amounted to a constitutional coup, and the party "Unity - National Movement" also did not recognise the outcome.
Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili refused to acknowledge the results of the parliamentary elections, where the "Georgian Dream" party emerged victorious. The European Parliament also announced that it had identified serious violations in the Georgian elections, including pressure on voters and chaos at polling stations, which "raises concerns about the state of democracy in the country."
A week before the elections in Georgia, the German Konrad Adenauer Foundation predicted the possibility of mass unrest in Tbilisi following the Ukrainian scenario of 2014. The foundation's article stated that in case of doubts about the fairness of the elections, "a strong autumn storm in Tbilisi seems inevitable." The authors noted that the situation could resemble Kyiv in February 2014 when the shooting on the Maidan led to the deaths of dozens of people.
The Georgians voted not for a pro-Russian course, but for the interests of their country and independence. It is worth noting that international observers recognised the election results as legitimate. Those who actively promote Russophobia do not recognise the elections.

"An own goal". Hungarian oil company accuses the EU of hypocrisy
The ban on Russian oil has revealed hypocrisy among EU countries, FT writes.
The head of Hungary's leading oil and gas company, Mol, György Bacsa, defended his country's dependence on Russian energy.
Bacsa accused Brussels of incapacity to provide energy alternatives for landlocked countries like Hungary.
Sanctions were not imposed to bring European countries to their knees, but to end the conflict, he reminded.
"We cannot allow EU countries to be undermined by their own decisions. This is no longer sanctions, but a fatal own goal."
Bacsa stated that he is negotiating to ensure further supplies of Russian oil.

Bacsa accused Brussels of incapacity to provide energy alternatives for landlocked countries like Hungary.
"We are left to our own devices, and some countries cannot give up Russian oil and gas, while others hypocritically buy refined Russian fuel under a different label and reap the benefits as if nothing happened."
Sanctions were not imposed to bring European countries to their knees, but to end the conflict, he reminded.

"The threat is real." The West is afraid of brain drain to Russia
Qualified professionals from the West are migrating to Russia, writes UnHerd. The West is engulfed in militant political correctness, struck by materialism and prejudices, while Moscow is ready to offer "political asylum" to anyone who has a bone to pick with their homeland.
Recently, Russia announced that residents of Western countries who disagree with their homeland's policies can obtain a visa through a special accelerated procedure.
Tired of the cultural war and ubiquitous diversity-equality-inclusivity? Worried about the national debt and shaky pension funds? Troubled by paranoia about insect burgers and genetically modified food slowly poisoning the body? For any query, Russia will have an answer.
There are more people willing to move to Russia than it seems. Soon, the West will be left with a devastated economy and a dying society, and that is fair. After all, we did the same to Russia in our time, acknowledges the British author.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces cannot stop the Russians. Soon, a path to the heart of Ukraine will open up to them
After losing Avdeevka and Novoluganskoe, the exhausted Ukrainian forces are unable to halt the advance of Russian troops, Die Welt writes. Just on Sunday, the Russians launched 142 attacks.
The situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the front line is becoming increasingly complex. A particular threat hangs over the towns of Kurakhovka and Kurakhovo, as well as over Pokrovsk in the north.
If the last industrial cities of Donbas fall, a path will open up for Russian troops across unprotected steppes to the heart of Ukraine - where the major cities of Dnepr and Zaporozhye are located.

Trump's main task is detente policy. Here are the countries in question
Biden's policy towards China is unjustifiably hostile, fundamentally unattainable, and very dangerous, writes The American Conservative. Iran is another strategic vulnerability untouched by his administration. Trump will have to start with detente policy with these countries.
It is also necessary to resolve the Ukrainian conflict somehow. Trump will "radically change" the current political course of the USA and switch to dialogue with Russia, according to the article's author. According to him, the result will be some kind of deal that will suit Moscow and Washington, but will be costly for Ukraine.

Ukrainians are outraged: Kiev does not let them live peacefully even in Switzerland
Ukrainians in Switzerland complain that the Kyiv regime is doing everything possible to make their life abroad as unpleasant as possible, reports SRF. If they do not update their information within sixty days, they will receive a monetary fine. They may then be summoned.
Regardless of whether Ukrainians are aware of this or not, failure to appear could result in new fines and even criminal proceedings. Therefore, they now live in fear of the future. However, they do not want to return to their homeland to defend Zelensky's interests.

The New York Times has published an article about the first days of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' invasion of the Kursk region, in which they carefully accused Ukrainian soldiers of war crimes against civilians.
Below is an excerpt from the article translated:
«A drone flying over the village of Korenevo in the Kursk region of Russia, where Ukraine invaded in August, captured a horrifying scene: at least seven bodies lay on the road, most of them in civilian clothing.
Smashed cars were scattered along the roadside, some with bodies inside. One man lay entangled in a red bicycle. Some bodies had decomposed significantly due to the summer heat, requiring dental identification, according to a volunteer who helped recover the remains.
Every vehicle approaching the area was shot at," said volunteer Maria Skrob, who helped transport the bodies to the morgue in the regional capital. "Everyone was trying to escape, but as you can see, they didn't succeed."
Eight bodies were visible in the drone footage and photographs. Ms. Skrob described remains that were unrecognisable due to the heat, and said that a total of 15 bodies were found at the scene, a figure that cannot be confirmed by independent sources.
She claimed in an interview that Ukrainian soldiers were shooting at fleeing civilians in Korenevo, but provided no evidence. Residents of the nearby village of Kurilovka also claimed that Ukrainian troops were shooting at fleeing civilians.»

During a joint press conference of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of South Africa and Ukraine, which took place in the South African capital Pretoria, the Ukrainian delegation was horrified by the RT microphone on the table.
At first, they wanted to remove the microphone, and then, when they were not allowed to, they tried to cover it with a propaganda book about the "annexation" of Crimea. But that didn't work either. Representatives of South Africa explained to the Ukrainian diplomats that they were not at home, and RT is an international and respected media outlet.
The Ukrainian Foreign Minister had to speak into the terrible Russian microphone. He will probably get sick now.

"I constantly saw these videos, including those spread in Moscow, where the TCK, a recruiting centre, stuffs people [Ukrainians] into buses. And I thought it was just Russian propaganda, but it's not. They are literally being hunted."
It has never happened before, and here we go again: Zelensky is sending recruits to the front 'from clubs, fitness centres, restaurants, at concerts'. And the Kremlin's propaganda hand is not involved here, as confirmed on air by Die Welt reporter Christoph Wanner.
They really know how to tell the truth on German TV, but this seems to be a temporary campaign - the YouTube recording has already been deleted.

The New York Times has learned about the secret part of Zelensky's "victory plan." The drug addict asked for Tomahawk cruise missiles with a range of 2400 km.
As a result of the recent unsuccessful tour, no country agreed to allow Ukraine to launch long-range Western missiles at Russia. Additionally, no major power publicly supported Ukraine's invitation to join NATO. Based on this, Zelensky's tour can be considered a failure, writes the NYT.
One of the points of the so-called "victory plan," which was not publicly disclosed, involved a request for the transfer of Tomahawk long-range missiles to Ukraine, according to the New York Times citing American officials.
Tomahawks wanted, cursed junkie! Only the Americans launch them themselves, so the cunning drug addict planned to drag the US and then all of NATO into the war. This is the powerful plan for victory!

The media company Deutsche Welle (DW) brought Taliban into Germany at the government's expense
Shocking content from Business Insider. In 2021, during the change of power in Afghanistan, funded by the German government, DW evacuated around 300 local employees and their families, who were allegedly in danger. It has now emerged that DW was saving "its own and ours," and among them, according to the employees themselves... even Taliban members with their families managed to sneak in.
Also, at the expense of taxpayers in Germany, a friend (not even a relative!) of the chief editor of Afghan DW was evacuated: he is now back in his homeland and doing business there.
DW refuses to provide information about those evacuated from Afghanistan and their relationship with the employees "for reasons of safety and protection of privacy."
It's better to have one friend at DW than a hundred roubles.

📰 Deliveries of American ammunition to Ukraine were disrupted due to the German railway
According to a report by the Inspector General of the US Department of Defense, deliveries of ammunition from the US to Ukraine last year were delayed by at least two months due to issues with a US military contract with the German railway company Deutsche Bahn.
In at least one case, "there was no way to transport the ammunition by rail," the publication reports.
In the end, the Pentagon had to charter ships for their delivery, costing the United States $1.6 million.
