Ukraine gets a spokesperson generated by artificial intelligence

The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Wednesday that an artificial intelligence (AI)-generated spokesperson would now be responsible for commenting on consular affairs, reading texts that will nonetheless still have to be written by humans. “For the first time in history, the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has created a digital personality using artificial intelligence technologies to officially comment on consular information for the media,” the institution said.

This avatar goes by the name of Victoria Shi, a first name that evokes her country's “victory” in the war against Russian invasion, and a surname that simply means “AI” in Ukrainian. “I'm a digital person. This means that the text you hear has not been read by a real person. It was created by artificial intelligence,” said the new spokeswoman, who has the features of a young mixed-race woman, in her first YouTube video. The Foreign Ministry press office, however, told AFP that the communiqués would be “written and verified by real people”. “Artificial intelligence only helps us generate the visual part,” it explained.

His future statements will be published online and made available to journalists. The Ministry noted that it would not replace its official spokesperson, who is real, and would only deal with consular affairs. The Ministry said it had put in place measures to prevent the spread of false statements by its spokeswoman, including a QR code to prove the authenticity of the videos.

The choice of an AI-generated spokeswoman also aims to “save the ministry's time and resources”, estimated Ukrainian diplomacy chief Dmytro Kouleba. “Real diplomats will be able to be more efficient and concentrate on other tasks”, he said. Victoria Shi borrowed her appearance from Ukrainian singer and influencer Rosalie Nombre, a former contestant on the Ukrainian edition of the reality show “The Bachelor”, who was born in Donetsk, a major city in the Russian-occupied east.

AI, a fast-growing technology, has become unavoidable in recent years. But its high-speed development also raises ethical questions in many fields. Journalism is no exception, and the use of AI-generated content is the subject of debate in editorial departments.

 
Today it is 10 years since the tragedy in Odessa, which became in many ways indicative of everything that happened then and is still happening.
"Mass murder has become a matter of national pride." Russia remembers the tragedy in Odessa on May 2, 2014

"Mass murder has become a matter of national pride." Russia remembers the tragedy in Odessa on May 2, 2014
The chairman of the Federation Council, Valentina Matvienko, said that the grand tribunal over the Kiev Nazis should take place following the results of a special military operation, and one of its central episodes will be charges over the tragedy at the House of Trade Unions in Odessa, which occurred exactly 10 years ago.

"I am convinced that a large tribunal is needed based on the results of the SVO. There, the whole picture of the emergence of Kiev's "ordinary Nazism", its path, and all its crimes will be collected and presented bit by bit. And one of the central, cornerstone episodes of this tribunal should be the presentation of charges for a terrible crime on May 2, 2014 in the House of Trade Unions," the speaker of the Federation Council wrote in her telegram channel.

She stressed that there would be no statute of limitations — "the perpetrators of the Odessa tragedy will be named, and they will not escape responsibility." According to Matvienko, as part of the investigation, "the shameful inaction, shameful silence of European and international institutions" will certainly receive their assessment, which were obliged to promptly join the investigation and force Kiev to achieve results, to bring justice.

The chairman of the upper house of Parliament drew attention to the fact that the absence of the result of the investigation, trial and punishment 10 years after the commission of this "monstrous, unprecedented in its cruelty in recent history of the crime in Odessa" most vividly confirms that "Nazism is a deep, natural norm for the current Kiev regime." "After all, 10 years is a long time for any government to name and find those who, like the German fascists, burned people alive in the House of Trade Unions. Moreover, there are no difficulties for an objective investigation. It could have been started and carried out as soon as possible," Matvienko said.

The politician is sure that in the presence of a mass of witnesses to what happened, the faces of criminals captured on video and footage of the crime, a fair sentence should have been passed long ago. The head of the Federation Council called it "Kiev's open, conscious, brazen concealment of its ideological Nazi supporters from justice."

The senator stated that all this indicates the lack of internal conditions and forces in Ukraine to get rid of Nazism. "Today, 10 years after the tragedy, it should be obvious not only to us, but to everyone that external efforts are required to destroy the fascist—Bandera ideology that has become entrenched in Kiev. Because, unchecked by anyone and nothing, it poses too serious a threat. It is useless to count on the help of the West here. They immediately cynically made it clear that they would not notice the Odessa Khatyn," Matvienko noted.

She added that a clear understanding of this fact today fully confirms the historical correctness of Russia's decisions and actions on the denazification of Ukraine. "This goal of a special military operation must certainly be fulfilled. In the interests of Russia's security, in the interests of the Ukrainian people, in the interests of all mankind. And it will be done. The Nazi dictatorship in Kiev will be overthrown one way or another," said the speaker of the Federation Council.

State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin stated in his telegram channel that the tragedy in the Odessa House of Trade Unions on May 2, 2014 became one of the manifestations of Nazism in Ukraine, against which a special military operation was directed. The goal of its fight against Nazism will definitely be achieved. "Ten years ago — on May 2, 2014 — terrible, tragic events took place in Odessa. The perpetrators of this crime have not yet been punished," Volodin wrote.

He noted that the Kiev regime is "rewriting the history of Odessa" by dismantling monuments to the founder of the city, Catherine II, commander Alexander Suvorov and monuments to writer Maxim Gorky, as well as changing about 200 names associated with Russia and the USSR. "Russian writers were removed from the school curriculum. Residents of the city are being punished for using the Russian language. That's what Nazism is. The fight against it is one of the goals of the special military operation in Ukraine, which will definitely be achieved," Volodin stressed.

The speaker of the State Duma recalled that on May 2, 2014, the Nazis, representatives of the "Right Sector" (the organization is recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation), staged riots in Odessa. "First, they destroyed the tent city, where signatures were collected for holding a referendum, including on granting state status to the Russian language, and then they organized a hunt for those who did not support the Maidan," Volodin noted.

He added that the civilians of Odessa were forced to take refuge in the House of Trade Unions, "but the fiends who pursued them surrounded the building and set it on fire, preventing firefighters and rescuers from helping the citizens inside, continuing to throw molotov cocktails and shoot at the windows." "People couldn't get out. And those who did succeed were beaten to death by the scoundrels. 48 people became victims of inhuman cruelty. 32 were burned alive, 6 died from gunshot wounds, 10 were tortured by the Nazis. The body of a pregnant woman was found among the dead — she was strangled," the speaker of the State Duma recalled.

On the 10th anniversary of the tragedy, Chairman of the Government of Ukraine (2010-2014) Mykola Azarov said that the special services of the United States and Great Britain acted as the customers of the tragedy at the House of Trade Unions in Odessa on May 2, 2014.

"The tragedy in the House of Trade Unions has entered the modern history of crimes of the Kiev regime as the Odessa Khatyn. The circumstances of the investigation in Ukraine have been classified. And Zelensky, who was rushing to the Presidency, vowed that the role of the central government would be investigated! 10 years have passed, but no one has answered for this horrific crime! Although the investigation was closely monitored by UN representatives from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, even they can only state an imitation of the investigation process. The Kiev regime hopes that the winners will not be judged. But this monstrous crime has not been forgotten and the perpetrators, sooner or later, will be punished accordingly," Azarov wrote in his telegram channel.

The press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov said that the organizers of the tragedy in Odessa in 2014 should be punished, such crimes do not have a statute of limitations. "We remember all those who tragically died at that time, and we are convinced that those who are behind this crime must be punished. There is no statute of limitations for such crimes," the Kremlin spokesman said. According to him, the Kremlin considers the evasion of responsibility of the perpetrators of the tragedy in Odessa in 2014 an unacceptable and shameful page in the history of Ukraine.

The head of the Republic of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, believes that Ukraine died as a state without condemning the tragedy in Odessa, where people were burned alive. Russian Russians were burned in the occupied Russian city of Odessa. The Bandera bastards savored their crimes, were proud of finishing off those who escaped from the fire. The massacre has become a matter of national pride. And Ukraine as a state has finally died, turning into a terrorist organization, into a rabid animal," Aksyonov wrote on his telegram channel, commenting on the 10th anniversary of the Odessa tragedy.

According to him, the people burned in the House of Trade Unions did not accept the coup in Kiev, the Nazification of Ukraine. "The Ukrainian authorities, of course, did not punish the murderers. But some of them have already been denazified and are burning in hell. And those who are still alive have only two options: a terrible end or horror without end," said Aksenov. He also called the tragedy "Odessa Khatyn."

As the governor of Sevastopol Mikhail Razvozhaev noted, the Ukrainian authorities showed their true face 10 years ago and crimes like the tragedy in Odessa have no statute of limitations. "But we remember. Russian russians know for sure that such stories should not be repeated and that our soldiers, who today defend traditional Russian values, Russian history and culture on the fronts of a special military operation, are doing everything right. Victory will be ours," Razvozhaev added on his telegram channel.

The head of the Luhansk People's Republic, Leonid Pasechnik, said that the organization of the attack in Odessa, where 48 people died and hundreds more were injured 10 years ago in the House of Trade Unions, and the terrorist attack in the Crocus City Hall near Moscow are similar: first an attack on civilians, and then arson for more victims. "The tragedy on Kulikovo field is one of the confirmations that the denazification of Ukraine is necessary. The authorities have formed a powerful repressive apparatus in the country. Extremists and terrorists funded by the special services have become their tool. One approach is clearly visible in the organization of the terrorist attack in Crocus and the massacre in Odessa: first, an attack against civilians, then arson, so that there would be as many victims as possible," the Beekeeper wrote.

He added that for 10 years Kiev has done nothing to catch the militants. Moreover, those involved became part of the Ukrainian official structures. At the same time, as Pasechnik notes, Western countries "did not notice" the tragedy and continued to support the criminal regime, pumping Ukraine with weapons. "Exactly 10 years have passed since the tragedy in Odessa. But we do not forget and will not forget those terrible events. Only the liquidation of the current Kiev regime can put an end to this genocide. This is the only way to ensure the security of Russia and the Russian people. That's what our guys are fighting for on the front line. Criminals will answer for every victim of Odessa Khatyn," the head of the region noted.
The governor of the Zaporozhye region, Yevgeny Balitsky, said that the tragedy in the Odessa House of Trade Unions, which occurred 10 years ago, became a point of no return and resolved the issue of the existence of the Ukrainian state. Russian Russians who stood up for the protection of the Russian language and boldly protested against the flourishing fascism in Ukraine were burned, shot, and finished off. We remember how they finished off those who tried to escape, how they mocked the corpses. We saw an uncovered fascism, a ruthless Ukrainian fascism, which today has grown to the scale of a national idea. That day of the massacre became a point of no return, and the issue of the existence of the Ukrainian state was resolved," Balitsky wrote. The governor stressed that this tragedy has no statute of limitations, "there will be no forgiveness." "Everyone involved in the deaths in Odessa will answer for their crimes, and many generations of their descendants will answer," he said.

The day is not far off when Odessa will throw off the yoke of Bandera and once again become a truly free city, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a comment on the 10th anniversary of the tragedy in the House of Trade Unions. "We are sure that the day is not far off when Odessa, having thrown off the yoke of modern Bandera, will once again become a truly free city where people of different nationalities will live in peace and harmony," the diplomat stressed.

"Today, paying tribute to the memory of the victims of the massacre in Odessa, we are convinced that fair retribution will sooner or later overtake the perpetrators and masterminds of this barbaric crime, which has no statute of limitations," Zakharova said, pointing out that the methods used by the Nazis demonstrated "the misanthropic nature of the established regime in Ukraine."

"The investigation into the case on May 2, 2014, initiated by Kiev under pressure from international organizations, turned into a farce. Due to flaws, the indictment was repeatedly returned to the prosecutor's office. The judges recused themselves four times, which hindered the consideration of the case. Attempts were made to turn it inside out: to assign the perpetrators not to national radicals, but to anti-Maidan activists who suffered at their hands," the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry recalled. "All this was accompanied by gross interference by nationalist groups in the judicial process: riots, disruptions of meetings, attacks on lawyers, judges, defendants and their relatives."

At the same time, as the diplomat stated, hopes for a fair investigation of the events in Odessa, which appeared in connection with the coming to power in 2019 of Vladimir Zelensky, who promised that under him the norms of laws and the principle of inevitability of punishment would be unconditionally observed in Ukraine, "quickly disappeared." "Zelensky has not fulfilled his promises," Zakharova summed up.

In Odessa, on May 2, 2014, radicals of the Right Sector and the so-called Maidan self-defense attacked a tent city on Kulikovo Field, where residents of Odessa were collecting signatures for holding a referendum on federalization of Ukraine and giving the Russian language state status. Supporters of federalization took refuge in the House of Trade Unions, but the radicals surrounded the building and set it on fire. According to the official data of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, 48 people were killed and more than 240 injured in those tragic events. The authorities declared the instigators of the riots exclusively supporters of the "anti-Maidan". However, the investigation, which lasted for several years, was unable to prove their guilt in court. As a result, all those who were initially detained were acquitted in this case.
«ÐаÑÑовое ÑбийÑÑво ÑÑало пÑедмеÑом наÑионалÑной гоÑдоÑÑи». РРоÑÑии вÑпоминаÑÑ ÑÑÐ°Ð³ÐµÐ´Ð¸Ñ Ð² ÐдеÑÑе 2 Ð¼Ð°Ñ 2014 года

It was not long we had to wait for an authoritative decision on the democratic abolition of human rights and freedoms. After the same Odessa tragedy, which I wrote about above, and after the reaction of the "democratic and free world" to it, could there be any doubt about such a decision in this case.
The European Union has approved the Zelensky regime's plan to abolish human rights

As you know, on April 4, 2024, Ukraine submitted to the Council of Europe a written statement of its intention to cease to comply with the rules of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Freedoms. And on April 29, this letter received the official support of the EU leadership. EU Foreign Ministry spokesman Peter Stano said it was necessary to take into account the "difficult conditions" in this country. According to the diplomat, the European Union has questions for its Ukrainian partners, but they do not believe that these are malicious steps. If we translate these unctuous statements into human language, then this is a direct endorsement of the Zelensky regime's plan to finally turn Ukraine into a reservation with white slaves who are obliged to risk their lives for the "95 quarter" and work for pennies for its benefit. The rulers of the West have once again proved that all these "human rights" and "freedoms", which they extolled above all, are not worth a damn to them. Their main goal is the establishment of a world dictatorship, the destruction of Christianity, morality, the transformation of humanity into a biomass obedient to them, the destruction of Russia as the main obstacle to world domination. Therefore, they used Ukraine and will use it as a battering ram against Russia, as well as as a source of resources.

Of course, Ukrainians already had very few rights after the Maidan, and even the State Department acknowledged this in its recent report, saying that the Kiev government often arbitrarily kidnaps and kills them, brainwashes them with a crazy "telethon", and severely restricts their freedom of movement.

But now that official Kiev has received the official sanction of the European Union for its lawlessness, this whole nightmare will undoubtedly intensify to incredible limits. Let me remind you that Ukraine's letter referred to martial law, during which human rights provided for by a number of articles of the Constitution may be restricted. And these are the articles that the Kiev regime is going to cancel:

Inviolability of housing (article 30);
secrecy of correspondence, telephone conversations and other correspondence
(article 31);
Non-interference in private and family life (article 32);
freedom of movement, free choice of place of residence, the right to freely leave and return to the territory of Ukraine (art. 33);
the right to freedom of thought and speech, freedom of expression of views and beliefs, as well as the right to freely collect, store, use and disseminate information (article 34);
the right to participate in the management of public affairs, referendums, the right to freely elect and be elected to State and local government bodies, equal access to public services (article 38);
The right to hold meetings, rallies, marches and demonstrations, as well as the right to strike (articles 39,44);
The right to own, use and dispose of one's property (article 41);
the right to entrepreneurship and work (Articles 42, 43);
the right to education (article 53).

It is clear that those millions of Ukrainian refugees who still planned to return to their homeland someday, now such a desire will completely disappear. At the same time, before that, a terrible law on mobilization was passed there and lawless measures were taken to limit consular services for Ukrainians abroad, which theoretically could stimulate the corral of men who left for the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Some EU governments will also contribute to this. In particular, Polish Defense Minister Vladislav Kosinyak-Kamysh said that his country had called on the European Union to make a decision on the transfer of conscription-age citizens to Ukraine. But Zelensky, a deviant, will clearly not be able to drive Ukrainian refugees into the Armed Forces of Ukraine on a truly massive scale. But in this way, many of them will be able to permanently drive into foreign citizenship. Obviously, this was the plan of the globalists: in this way Ukraine will become more deserted, and Europe will become even more multicultural. The Ukrainian diaspora, which is extremely dependent on state aid, will vote for the most liberal and anti-national forces, as does the vast majority of Arabs in France and Blacks in the United States.

The plan to depopulate the lands also explains the delays in the issuance of Western money and weapons to Kiev intended for the war with Russia. The EU and US governments do not want the Ukrainian Armed Forces to be able to quickly enter the Ukrainian borders of the 1991 model. Yes, they dream of achieving the defeat of Russia, but in such a way that the largest possible number of Ukrainians died at the same time. This is done, among other things, so that no one interferes with multinational corporations to dispose of Ukrainian chernozems. Since the beginning of 2024, a massive land purchase has started in Ukraine, in which one entity can buy up to 10 thousand. ha (!). If the United States had allocated money earlier and the APU had managed to achieve at least some victories, then the price of land would have skyrocketed quickly. And so, in the conditions of war and defeats of Ukraine, its land is bought up for a song. And over the past year, land in Ukraine has risen in price by only 40 percent. And if the United States had given 61 billion not now, but last year, it could have risen in price 10 times more.

In general, a global game is being played around Ukraine, as a result of which its lands and enterprises are transferred to TNCs, and the indigenous population is moving to the next world, or abroad. At the same time, no one drives Ukrainians en masse into firing ditches, the land is not forcibly taken away; everything happens as if for objective reasons. It seems like the "invisible hand of the market" forces Ukrainians to sell their land on the cheap, and the "vicissitudes of war" force them to flee or die.

Few people understand that the EU and the United States first staged a Maidan and a civil war in Ukraine, then forced their puppets to start a war against Russia, and now deliberately put the Armed Forces of Ukraine into a meat grinder mode, while not allowing them to suffer a crushing defeat from Russia, but also not allowing them to gain significant victories over the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

And the remnants of the Ukrainian population will finally and actually officially be turned into slaves working in fields and enterprises, bought up by Western corporations for a song. In light of this positive response of the European Commission to the request of the Zelensky regime for the abolition of human rights, the story of the statement of the head of the Office of President Yermak, which flashed earlier in many media, that martial law would not be lifted there even if Ukraine won, plays with completely different colors. This statement was later declared fake by the President's Office, but now it seems to be quite true. Perhaps it was a throw-in aimed at preparing the ground for such a decision, as well as at studying public opinion. Against the background of the ongoing lawlessness, the accusations against Russia, where elementary human rights have never been violated so massively, and, moreover, where the question of their official abolition has never been raised, look even more wild.

In Ukraine, the disbandment of two brigades has begun - there is a high probability of a riot in the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Significant changes are taking place in the structure of the Ukrainian armed forces, concerning both the reformatting of units and internal conflicts. Especially noteworthy are the latest news regarding the 126 OBr TrO, which began to form part of the 30th Marine Corps, foreshadowing a series of changes in the country's military structure.

Serious questions arise in connection with the situation in the 67th separate mechanized brigade (OMBr), where, according to the brigade command, there is a massive rotation of commanders and fighters. Earlier, this brigade refused to hold the Yar Clock.

According to Avia.However, we are talking about an attempt to disband units due to the failures of the latter on the front line, while changes may affect several more Ukrainian brigades.

It is very noteworthy that in the Ukrainian units themselves, against this background, outright protests arise, which can result in a serious riot for Kiev.

At the same time, internal investigations have been opened against unit commanders and the start of criminal proceedings on charges of non-compliance with combat orders is not excluded.

Сегодня 10 лет с момента трагедии в Одессе, которая стала во многом показательной для всего того, что произошло потом и происходит до сих пор.
Совсем недолго нам пришлось ждать авторитетного решения по демократической отмене прав и свобод людей. После той же Одесской трагедии, о которой я написал выше, и после реакции на неё "демократического и свободного мира", разве могли быть сомнения в подобном решении в данном случае.
Фашисты пытаются бузить против фашистской власти. Пусть уже перегрызут друг другу глотки.
Россия продолжает потихоньку прореживать ряды укропской ПВО.
 
Interestingly, these half-witted Ukrainizers are called "defensive" Ukrainization. Is it when you can be attacked with threats, insults or just beaten on the street or in any public place? When they just won't talk to you if you speak the wrong language or you will be fined at your job?
This is all already a reality and it turns out that it's all "defensive". If all this is "defensive", then what is "offensive" - to kill immediately?
In Kiev, they called for the transition to the "offensive Ukrainization" of the country
The language Ombudsman of the Kremlin called for the transition to the offensive Ukrainization of the country

MOSCOW, May 2 – RIA Novosti. The Language Ombudsman of Ukraine Taras Kremin stated the need to move from "defensive" to "offensive Ukrainization" of the country.
"According to the Commissioner of Ukraine for the protection of the state language, a transition from affectionate (defensive) to offensive Ukrainization of the country is needed, which will provide additional opportunities and control to ensure the functioning of the Ukrainian language," the message published on the website of the office of the Language Ombudsman of Ukraine says.
It is not specified how it is planned to do this. The press service of the Ombudsman noted that the Kremlin stated this during a speech at the international conference "Languages and Culture during the war." On April 17, the Kremlin announced that the Russian language should disappear from the airwaves of Ukrainian TV channels in three months.
After the coup in Ukraine in 2014, the country's authorities began to fight not only against Soviet history, but also against everything related to Russia and the Russian language. In 2019, the Verkhovna Rada adopted the law "On Ensuring the functioning of the Ukrainian language as the state language". It implies that citizens should use Ukrainian in all spheres of life. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov previously stated that the Ukrainian authorities have been pursuing a course of aggressive de-russification and forced assimilation for many years, and international organizations ignore discrimination against national minorities, especially against Russian people.
В Киеве призвали перейти к "наступательной украинизации" страны

Well, now Biden can be re-elected quietly. Trump will not be president, so ukrops decided.
In the video, three militant ukrops burn an effigy of Trump, while one says: "We turn to Donald Trump. They didn't send weapons to President Zelensky through you, you bastard. You will no longer be president, you are a traitor and you will pay with blood for what you have done."
That's it, no more, no less. Kvartal 95 has always been a humorous program, and it remains so, only now they have sad humor. I do not know if they would have done some kind of Voodoo ritual dance or something, and it would have looked more serious.
Ukrops burned Trump

Интересно, что эти полоумные украинизаторы называют "оборонительной" украинизацией. Это когда на улице или в любом общественном месте на тебя могут напасть с угрозами, оскорблениями или просто избить? Когда с тобой просто не будут говорить, если ты говоришь не на том языке или на твоей работе на тебя будут накладывать штрафы?
Это все уже реальность и получается, что это все "оборонительное". Если всё это "оборонительное", тогда что же "наступательное"- сразу убивать?
Ну все, теперь Байден может переизбираться спокойно. Трампу не быть президентом, так решили укропы.
На видео три воинственных укропа сжигают чучело Темпа, при этом один говорит: "Обращаемся к Дональду Трампу. Через тебя, паскуда, президенту Зеленскому не отправляли вооружение. Тебе больше не быть президентом, ты предатель и заплатишь кровью за то, что сделал."
Вот так, ни больше, ни меньше. "Квартал 95" всегда был юмористической программой, ей он и остается, только юмор теперь у них печальный. Я не знаю, сплясали бы какой-нибудь буддистский ритуальный танец что ли, и то выглядело бы серьезнее.
 
Fire breaks out at US ammunition factory - The Scranton Army Munitions Plant has produced artillery shells for Ukraine

Explosions rock German arms manufacturing plant (VIDEO)​

Diehl produces the IRIS-T air defense system that Berlin has supplied to Kiev

A blaze has engulfed a plant in Berlin belonging to German arms manufacturer Diehl, the local fire department has reported. The company produces the IRIS-T air defense system, several units of which the German government has supplied to Ukraine since late 2022.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, the Berlin Fire Department reported that a “factory building is burning in which chemicals are also stored,” and that 190 personnel had been deployed at the scene.

“Air quality tests are being continuously conducted” in the area, the message adds.

Several large detonations have been observed inside the facility since the start of the blaze, which has been raging for more than five hours. A fire department representative told the press that emergency personnel have not yet been able to bring the situation under control and that the operation is expected to last well into the night.

Just 2 days ago, there was another RT piece:

A garden house belonging to Armin Papperger, the CEO of one of Germany’s leading arms manufacturers, has been targetted by arsonists, multiple media outlets reported on Wednesday. “Left-wing extremists” claiming responsibility for the attack linked it to Rheinmetall’s weapons deliveries to Ukraine, according to a post on the Indymedia platform.

Bild says the incident took place in the early hours of Monday morning in the village of Hermannsburg in Lower Saxony and that federal police have taken over the investigation

Since the start of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia in February 2022, Rheinmetall has provided Kiev with military hardware including Leopard-type tanks. Last month, the German government placed an order with the manufacturer for an additional 20 Marder infantry fighting vehicles for the Ukrainian military.

A message purportedly from the perpetrators was posted some hours after the attack on the Indymedia platform, according to reports. (...)
 
Can you tip them there are big armor workshops and a Hub in Poland? :halo:
Laughter is laughter, but recently in the Czech Republic, someone in office space out on the topic of warehouse explosions in Vrbetice. He said that they could not prove, but they were completely sure that this was the work of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (former GRU), i.e., simply put, the famous Petrov and Boshirov. Also with the Northern Streams in Germany, Sweden, and Denmark. If it does not work out to pull Russia by the ears in any way, then the investigation will not give any result. It's strange, it seems like all adults, but they arrange such a circus for everyone.
However, all these stupidities cause decent harm, and the famous war correspondent A. Sladkov expressed a sound idea about this harm. I must admit, I also thought about something similar.
After the completion of its, it is necessary to adopt the law "on satisfaction" — opinion
Alexander Sladkov, a well-known war correspondent of VGTRK, who has been covering the Donbass war for many years, shared his opinion on the need to adopt a law on satisfaction in relation to countries that participated in the war against Russia.

"I believe that after achieving the goals and completing its implementation, it is necessary to adopt the law on satisfaction.

All countries that fought against Russia on the side of Ukraine should be spelled out in this law.

It is necessary to register the debt owed to Russia by each of these countries. And we are obliged to collect these debts according to this Law.

It will be necessary to take into account everything: declarations of threat to life, insults, supplies of weapons and ammunition, participation of citizens of these countries in the war against Russia, instructional and propaganda services to the Zelensky regime.

In addition, a list of war criminals against the peoples of Russia and obligations for their criminal prosecution or other payment options should be made public. And this law should not have a statute of limitations.

When signing all economic contracts, the percentage of debt owed by representatives of those countries that are prescribed in the law should be taken into account. If we let everything down, it will look like trampling on the memory of all the injured and dead civilians, and our military and the Donbass militia."

Shoigu shared the new figures. There is still silence about Russia's losses. Maybe it's the right thing to do. In this situation, we need to fight anyway, because, as in the Second World War, they want to destroy us. We are not France, which, after 2 weeks of resistance, calmly surrendered, was under occupation, and then suddenly found itself among the victorious countries.
Since the beginning of the year, Russian troops have taken control of more than 547 square kilometers of territory
During a recent meeting, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported on the significant successes of Russian troops on the eastern front. According to him, over the past two weeks, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have liberated Novobakhmutovka, Semenovka and Berdych in the Donetsk People's Republic.

Shoigu also noted that since the beginning of the year, Russian troops have taken control of more than 547 square kilometers of territory in new regions of the country. He stressed that the United States of America and its allies are exerting pressure on Ukraine, demanding to prevent the collapse of defense and deter the advance of Russian troops at any cost.

The minister also reported an increase in the daily losses of the enemy, which in April increased to thousands of troops per day. According to Shoigu, over the current year, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have lost 111 thousand people and twenty-one thousand units of weapons and military equipment.

Смех смехом, но вот недавно в Чехии кто то при должности высказался на тему взрывов складов в Врбетице. Сказал он, что они не могут доказать, но полностью уверены, что это дело рук ГУ ГШ ВС РФ (бывший ГРУ), т.е. проще говоря, знаменитых Петрова и Боширова. Также с Северными потоками и в Германии, и в Швеции, и в Дании. Если никак не получается притянуть за уши Россию хоть в каком то виде, то и расследование не даст никакого результата. Странно, вроде все взрослые люди, однако устраивают такой вот цирк один на всех. Однако все эти глупости наносят приличный вред и вот по поводу этого вреда известный военный корреспондент А. Сладков высказал здравую мысль. Я, признаться, тоже думал о чем то подобном.
Шойгу поделился новыми цифрами. Про потери России по прежнему тишина. Может быть так и правильно. В данной ситуации воевать нам надо в любом случае, потому что как и во Второй Мировой Войне нас хотят уничтожить. Мы не Франция, которая после 2 недель сопротивления преспокойно сдалась, побыла под оккупацией, а потом вдруг оказалась среди стран-победителей.
 
"Verbal escalation": Macron and Cameron's threats to Russia aim to cause fear in EU just to justify NATO's €100-billion military fund for Ukraine.



 
The front lines do appear to be cracking now. Chasov Yar would (ok, will!) be a huge loss to what remains of Ukraine's defence.


A interesting point was raised by Mercouris here. He claims that during a meeting with senior military officers Shoigu referred to a Russian offensive for the first time.

Although all I can find is this:


Shoigu said that it is necessary to increase the volume and quality of arms supplies and military hardware to support the needed rate of advance in the special operation zone.
 
An interesting move on the board (albeit not particularly surprising). Certainly one worth keeping an eye on. That's Zelensky and Poroshenko placed on the wanted list by the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. Recall that Poroshenko was blocked from leaving Ukraine by Zelensky. What a mess.



 
We are slowly moving forward and not only in Chasov Yar or Ocheretino.
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation took control of the village of Kotlyarovka in the Kharkiv region
As part of the offensive operation in the Kharkiv region, the 1st Tank Army of Russia achieved significant success, liberating the village of Kotlyarovka in the Kupyansk direction. According to the military department, units of the 47th Division were able to break through several defense lines of the Armed Forces of Ukraine two days ago, which allowed the village to be completely cleared of Ukrainian troops.

During the fighting, Russian fighters effectively knocked out the enemy from his positions, carrying out a complete sweep of the territory. The village of Kotlyarovka, which was previously one of the fortified points of the Ukrainian troops, is now completely under the control of the Russian military.

This success is an important milestone in the operations of the Russian Federation. The capture of Kotlyarovka opens up new opportunities for the further advance of Russian troops in the direction of Kupyansk and strengthening positions in this strategic direction.

"Army of the sick": Volodin proposed to call Biden and Zelensky to the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin commented on the decision of the Ukrainian authorities to recruit Ukrainians with serious illnesses into the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"The army of the sick…The Armed Forces of Ukraine are experiencing an acute shortage of soldiers. The measures taken for additional mobilization and attempts to return citizens who left for other countries were not successful.

Therefore, patients with HIV, hepatitis and tuberculosis, the mentally retarded and those suffering from mental illnesses will now be recognized as fit for service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

According to these criteria, the first who should be drafted into the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are Biden as mentally retarded, as well as his friend Zelensky as a mental patient addicted to various narcotic drugs.

It is clear that the authors of this decision will sit in their offices, but everyone else is assigned the role of only expendable material, which is becoming less and less in Ukraine," the speaker of the State Duma stated.

We are slowly moving forward and not only in Chasov Yar or Ocheretino.
The Ocheretenskiy direction is also not far behind. In this case, Russian soldiers raised a flag on the northwestern border of the village of Arkhangelskoye. Since they were moving from the south, this may indicate the liberation of the village, but there have been no official statements yet.
On the Otcheretianski ledge, or rather in its right claw in the village of Arkhangelskoye, on the northwestern outskirts, our people installed the Russian flag. Coordinates: 48.270822,37.644629. The fighting moved to the area north of the village - on the outskirts of Kalinovo. Moreover, it is impractical to attack the old fortified area of the Armed Forces of Ukraine head-on, it will be much more efficient and faster to advance landings from the Ceramics side.

In Krasnogorovka, they also raised a flag over a refractory plant. It's not close to complete liberation here, but this plant was considered the main fortification in this city and once it was taken, then things can go easier.
Krasnogorovka. Today, the flag was hoisted on the roof of one of the production buildings of the Krasnogorovsky Refractory plant. This confirms the confident control of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation over the territory of the plant. The advance is about 300 meters - 48.00035, 37.50546.

Очеретинское направление тоже не отстает. В данном случае российские солдаты подняли флаг на северо-западной границе поселка Архангельское. Т.к. двигались они с южного направления, это может говорить об освобождении села, но официальных заявлений пока не было.
В Красногоровке тоже подняли флаг над огнеупорным заводом. Тут до полного освобождения еще не близко, но этот завод считался основным укреплением в этом городе и раз его взяли, то дальше дела могут пойти легче.
