A quote from NATO press conference by Mr Jamie Shea, Brussel, May 25, 1999:
Question (Norwegian News Agency): I am sorry Jamie but if you say that the Army has a lot of back-up generators, why are you depriving 70% of the country of not only electricity, but also water supply, if he has so much back-up electricity that he can use because you say you are only targeting military targets?
Jamie Shea: Yes, I'm afraid electricity also drives command and control systems. If President Milosevic really wants all of his population to have water and electricity all he has to do is accept NATO's five conditions and we will stop this campaign. But as long as he doesn't do so we will continue to attack those targets which provide the electricity for his armed forces. If that has civilian consequences, it's for him to deal with. Water supply and electricity are being used against the people of Serbia, it has been turned off for good or at least for a long, long time for all of those 1.6 million Kosovar Albanians who have been driven from their homes and who have suffered, not inconvenience, but suffered in many cases permanent damage to their lives. Now that may not be a distinction that everybody likes but for me that distinction is fundamental.

"A day in Ukraine is like a month in Afghanistan" - why the Western countries are facing arms shortages
See @anna_news video on NATO's problems with supplying ammunition and military equipment to Kiev
โช๏ธEU countries began reducing their armed forces en masse after the collapse of the USSR, hoping there would never be another tank war in Europe.
โช๏ธEven the terrorist threat and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have not compelled the NATO bloc to invest so heavily in armaments.
โช๏ธUkraine fires 6,000-7,000 rounds a day, while the US produces only 15,000 rounds a month.
โช๏ธ Ukraine also lacks supplies of Soviet weapons and ammunition, which are massively used by the AFU.
Watch the video for more details about West ravaging its military stockpiles for Ukraine.

โRomanian Foreign Minister Bogdan Adescu has held a meeting with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba.
The Romanian Foreign Ministry has asked Ukraine to recognize that "the Moldovan language does not exist", the ministry's press service has said. The request is not for the first time. Romania considers Moldovan to be a dialect of Romanian.

โผ๏ธ EC head says AFU have lost 100,000 dead since February, then deletes video
A fragment of Ursula von der Leyen's speech, in which she talks about the deaths of "over 100,000 Ukrainian military personnel", has disappeared from the official's Twitter account. The video has been cropped and re-uploaded. But the internet remembers everything.

In Hamburg, activists glued themselves to the conductor's bar at the philharmonic.๐
However, it turned out that the bar was not fixed to the floor. So, it was pulled out and taken all the way to the corridor, together with the jerks.
The idea of the demonstration? Stop wasting wood on violins and conducting batons!
These guys look rather like the lonely woodpecker and the cuckoo who has eaten Johnny-Cake๐. Or who was it that this XXXL sized "eco-activist" ate?๐ณ

The Ukrainian president's office commented on the removal of a video from Ursula von der Leyen's Twitter account where she had stated that the Ukrainian armed forces had lost over 100,000 dead.
Presidential speaker Sergey Nikiforov stated that the information about the losses was "sensitive," so it could be voiced only by the commander-in-chief, the defense minister, or the President.

"If the President of the United States was directly the beneficiary of payments derived from unknown sources in China, Russia and Ukraine, then that's a problem for the President of the United States"

โ๏ธ Ukrainian Security Service officers stage a raid on Kirill and Mefodiy women's Convent in Transcarpathian region
This is reported by Ukrainian journalists.
For the last few weeks security services have been conducting searches and arrests of priests in churches of the canonical Ukraine Orthodox Church across Ukraine.
This is explained as "counterintelligence measures" because of alleged links of UOC priests with "Russian special services".

๐บ๐ฆOdessa City Council voted for dismantling and moving two monuments: to the Founders of Odessa (led by Catherine II) and to the commander Alexander Suvorov.
๐ท๐บ By her rescript of 1794, Catherine II started the construction of the city.
In 1900 the citizens of Odessa erected the monument to Catherine II and her associates, who had founded the port and the city.
The decision of Odessa authorities to dismantle the monuments is a disgrace and another step in rewriting history.
