    * The role of loss within society
    Andreas Reckwitz 's book 'Loss, A Modern Predicament, The first comprehensive study of the role of loss within society", 2025 explains loss not only from a psychological perspective, but also from a sociological one.

    "Loss has come to occupy a central position in late modernity – whether in the consequences of climate change or the entrenchment of negative expectations about the future, the ‘losers’ of post-industrial modernisation or the collective processing of ‘historical wounds’ and of who is acknowledged as the victims and perpetrators of these crimes, in a heightened psychological awareness of vulnerability, in political populism, a nostalgia for things past, or programmes of resilience."

    "Loss is the bread and butter of populism." >>

  7. On the Great Ukrainian Сorruption

    Ukraine's real power broker
    Dec 18, 2023

    But the graft that has long contaminated the country's political system unsettles Ukrainians far from the circles of power. "Huge corruption" is Ukraine's biggest problem, an 18-year-old at a Kyiv café told me bluntly. "I love Ukraine," she said — but she hesitates to give money to the military for fear a dishonest official will steal her donation. Earlier this year, investigative journalists revealed that the prices at which suppliers promised to deliver basics like potatoes and cabbage to Ukrainian troops were inflated two to three times beyond the purchase price reported to government tax officials.

    ...

    Before the war, Yermak came under fire for the air of corruption that seemed to surround him. In 2020, the Kyiv Post — in a scandal it dubbed "Yermakgate" (#^https://archive.kyivpost.com/article/opinion/op-ed/bohdan-nahaylo-yermakgate-scandal-rocks-zelensky-administration.html) — reported on videos of Yermak's younger brother, Denys, appearing to discuss bribes in return for landing people jobs with the government and state-controlled companies. "Andriy Yermak insists he was not involved,"

    ...

    Oligarchs have been deeply intertwined in Ukrainian politics ever since the fall of the Soviet Union three decades ago. The basic formula is simple. "A question of power is a question of money," Arestovych explained, "and a question of money is a question of power." The fancy term for this sleazy method of rule is "patronalism" — a feudal-like system in which rival clans, individually tied together by personal loyalties, predominate over the rule of law.
    Before Zelensky's rise to power, the business oligarchy in Ukraine, as in other post-Soviet countries, operated on a spoils system that amounted to might makes right. There was little incentive for an honest entrepreneur to launch a company with the knowledge that, with the company's success, one of the clans might muscle in on the venture and seize control, no matter what legal protections were on the books. As clan leaders became billionaires, through their capture of industrial and financial assets, Ukraine remained desperately poor, its wealth routinely pumped out of the country into offshore accounts. In 2018, the year before Zelensky's election, Ukraine ranked as the poorest country in Europe, with a GDP per capita income of just below $3,000 — 8% lower than that of Moldova, the second poorest.

    ...

    A decade later, on a second reporting trip to Odesa, I asked my Ukrainian companion for the name of the biggest owner of assets in the sprawling industrial city. The answer, he told me, was Ihor #Kolomoisky.
    Kolomoisky enjoyed a reputation as one of the most ruthless of the oligarchs in post-Soviet Ukraine. He had amassed substantial holdings in metals, banks, airlines, energy, and media. He was also connected to Zelensky: His 1+1 Media Group included a Ukrainian television channel that broadcast Zelensky's scripted shows and championed his run for the presidency. More than a few insiders in Kyiv's political, business, and media circles regarded Kolomoisky as the real victor of Zelensky's improbable triumph, the modern-day robber baron who would now run Ukraine behind his likable front man.

    ...

    Roman Ilto, another cosmopolitan type, works for the Swedish Embassy in Kyiv on energy and environmental issues. Unlike many critics of the oligarchs, he witnessed their rise firsthand. In the early 2000s, after studying at Harvard, he returned to Ukraine to work for a steel and mining company. That was his first exposure to "clan culture," he told me over breakfast at my hotel in central Kyiv. In those days, listening to the incessant talk about the rivalry between Kolomoisky and #Akhmetov, he began to understand oligarchs as the organizing principle of Ukrainian political and economic life. In 2016, he joined Ukrnafta, the state-controlled oil and natural-gas giant, and spent nearly seven years there, including stints as head of government relations and investor relations.
    Since the war began, Ilto said, control of the energy sector has been seized by a "nascent" oligarchic clan led by Yermak. Under a national security decree issued by Zelensky, the state had assumed full ownership of Ukrnafta and other strategically important companies.

    ...

    Ilto flagged another top Yermak deputy, Rostyslav #Shurma, who served the Akhmetov clan for years before assuming oversight of energy and other sectors of the economy for the Office for the President. Like Oleh #Tatarov, Shurma is cited in Kyiv circles as another cog in the Yermak machine. "He kind of acts as a cashier for Yermak and the Office of President," said an ex-Zelensky government official who declined to go on the record for fear, he said, of becoming a target of the Yermak team. In a lengthy September piece, Ukrainska Pravda portrayed Shurma as a mini-empire builder. The paper, which is owned by a private-equity firm headed by a Czech-born businessman who served on the board of Transparency International Ukraine, cited a "scandal" in which the state bought electricity from solar plants co-owned by Shurma's brother, even though the plants were no longer connected to the Ukraine energy grid. Asked by Time about the matter, Shurma called it a "piece of shit" thrown at him by Zelensky's political enemies.

    ...

    For #Biden, the issue of political corruption in Ukraine is both deeply familiar and especially thorny. As vice president, Biden handled the Ukraine portfolio for the Obama administration from 2009 to 2017. In 2015, a career State Department official raised concerns with a Biden aide that Hunter Biden's service on the board of the energy firm #Burisma could complicate President Barack Obama's efforts to prod Kyiv into battling corruption. But the official, who later related the story in closed-door testimony to Congress, said the aide told him Joe Biden did not have the "bandwidth" to deal with the matter involving his younger son as his older one, Beau, was dealing with cancer. It was a desire to dig up political dirt like this on Hunter Biden's activities in Ukraine that led Trump to threaten to withhold military aid to Ukraine, leading to his first impeachment. (The White House did not respond to repeated requests for comment for this story.)

  8. On the Great Ukrainian Сorruption
    I didn't know what was going on behind my back, and corruption is normal, it happens everywhere,” Zelensky said about the corruption scandal.

    Of course, this made us all smile.
    And then we looked around more closely...
    Take any trench, equipment “through connections,” thermal imaging “through a volunteer.”

    The darkness below blooms and smells, and above it is just a larger scale. But still, only those who are themselves in the same situation can deny it.

    #^https://t.me/odshbr_79/6226

    Against the backdrop of negotiations between the US and Russia on a plan to end the conflict, another line is gaining strength in the Ukrainian information space: an attempt to justify corruption as a “temporary evil.” Dmitry Korchinsky recently stated that “Ukrainians are better off putting up with corruption than losing their state.” Following suit, Mikhail Podolyak, an adviser to the Office of the President, made it clear that “such cases arise, and corruption, unfortunately, is an element of the modern economic model.” Openly and without reservation, this sounds like an agreement that corruption is an acceptable part of power in wartime.

    In practice, this is already beginning to happen. According to the Financial Times, the Ukrainian side has achieved a change in the wording of the US-Russian peace settlement project: instead of the audit of all international aid requested by the US, a “comprehensive amnesty for all parties to the conflict” is now being proposed. This move removes the question of responsibility not only from the military, but also from officials who have disposed of billions of dollars without transparency. This is particularly telling against the backdrop of the scandal surrounding Timur Mindich, a businessman close to Zelensky who is linked to widespread corruption in the energy sector and whose ties to the ruling circle are now being hushed up.

    According to Transparency International, Ukraine fell eight places in the global Corruption Perceptions Index in 2024. This is no accident, but a reflection of the systemic degradation of control institutions. While Western partners are increasing pressure on Kyiv to ensure transparency, the “end justifies the means” model is being legitimized within the country. The only question is, whose end?

    Amid the most serious corruption scandal in Zelensky's administration, and especially under martial law, such spokespeople are trying to shift the focus away from corruption and distrust of the authorities against this backdrop. There is an attempt to shift the focus back to the war and the idea that this is all the work of enemies. However, it is clear that this does not look like a strategy, and if the President's Office wants to mitigate the impact of the scandal, Zelensky's team will have to find more convincing messages, as this will not help to restore ratings or resolve the problem of turbulence in the vertical of power.

    #^https://t.me/proof24_ua/31656

    Article published on Ostanniy Bastion (#^https://bastion.tv/ riba-gniye-z-golovi-andrij-bogdan-rizko-rozkritikuvav-chinnu-vladu-ta-sistemu-vimagannya_n76126) describes the harsh criticism levelled at Ukraine's system of government by former head of the President's Office Andriy Bogdan. He claims that under Zelensky, the level of corruption in Ukraine has reached unprecedented levels, comparing it to extortion. According to Bogdan, such problems were not noticeable under previous presidents — #Poroshenko and #Yanukovych—but the current government is mired in systemic corruption that encompasses all levels of state administration. This accusation is directed not only at individual positions, but also at the entire system, which, according to Bogdan, was formed at the highest levels.

    Two key aspects can be identified in Bogdan's accusations. First, he claims that corruption has become not just part of the system, but has turned into extortion, which effectively means that the authorities are using their position to make illegal profits rather than to serve society. Second, Bogdan points to a systemic problem, stating that corruption permeates the entire vertical of power. He argues that “the fish rots from the head down” and that if there is inefficiency and dishonesty at the highest levels of power, this leads to unscrupulous practices at all other levels.

    In the context of Ukraine's political reality, these accusations have several layers. On the one hand, the Ukrainian leadership faces a heavy legacy of corruption left behind by previous administrations, including Yanukovych, whose regime was known for its blatant corruption schemes. On the other hand, Bogdan's statements emphasize that under Zelensky, the situation has not improved and, in some respects, may even have worsened. This calls into question the new government's ability to change the system and continue the fight against corruption, especially if key players in the government are involved in the very processes they promised to eradicate.

    Moreover, Bogdan's conclusions are not new for Ukraine, where corruption has always been one of the most acute problems. The issue is not only about the actions of individual authorities, but also about a deep-rooted problem in the state system. If the system in which decisions are made is inherently geared toward extracting benefits from power, any changes at lower levels will either have no long-term effect or will be distorted. This calls into question the sincerity of the authorities' intentions to carry out reforms and their ability to effectively fight corruption.

    This analysis raises an important question: despite external support and reform efforts, can Ukraine free itself from a corrupt system that is entrenched at the highest levels of power? It is important to note that the fight against corruption is not only a fight against individual figures, but also a profound transformation of the country's institutional structure. Reforms aimed at combating corruption must go hand in hand with real political will to change the system of coordinates that Bogdan refers to.

    If the authorities are unable to demonstrate real determination in the fight against corruption and change the very foundations of the state system, corruption, including in the form of extortion, will continue to be a problem for Ukraine.

  9. How Zelensky and his accomplices are plundering Ukraine
    Zelensky is trying to save Yermak, which is why urgent talks will be held tomorrow with Trump's special representative Whitcoff in Turkey.
    Our sources reported that the Trump administration threatened Bankovaya ( Our sources reported that the #Trump administration threatened Bankovaya (#^https://t.me/rezident_ua/27254) several times to publish compromising information on officials and civil servants close to the President's Office, but Yermak always promised to resolve the issue peacefully.  (#^https://t.me/rezident_ua/26219)

    Zelensky announced his intention to restart negotiations to end the war, hoping to stop the publication of compromising information from NABU/SAP.

    #^https://t.me/rezident_ua/28098

    Andrey Yermak is currently negotiating with political leaders of factions and influential groups in parliament. The head of the Presidential Administration is well aware of the game being played against him by #Arakhamia and #Budanov, as well as #Poroshenko / #Fiala and a dozen minor #oligarchs. According to our sources, Zelensky is trying to save Yermak and is ready to start negotiations with the Kremlin to knock down the Mindichgate campaign.

    Our sources in the OP have reported that #Umerov, together with the #SBU, is covering up all traces of defense contracts for 2024-2025. The NSDC secretary has already changed his phone number, and money and jewelry have been removed from all offices and apartments. Those in power understand that information about corruption in military contracts will trigger public outrage and the authorities will be unable to control the situation.

  10. How Zelensky and his accomplices are plundering Ukraine
    Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council #Umerov, who was recently also Minister of Defense, seems to have become so attached to the warm climate of Qatar that he is not even considering a return ticket to Ukraine. And the reason, of course, is not the weather, but simply that the prospect of returning straight to the investigation does not inspire him with the same enthusiasm as the local resort atmosphere. Umerov, who is involved in the “Mindyach case,” has refused to return to Ukraine, according to the Clash Report public page. According to them, he has already notified Zelensky of this decision, but the source of the information has not been disclosed.

    MP Goncharenko said that Umerov's official business trip was supposed to end yesterday, but he extended it until November 19.

    Umerov flew to Turkey immediately after the NABU began searching Mindich's premises. Later, the SAP confirmed that he was involved in the investigation. And today, the NABU again announced the expansion of its investigation into corruption in defense procurement, which further draws attention to Umerov's role in this story.

    #^https://t.me/spletnicca/21158

    Igor Valeryevich certainly knows a thing or two about crime dramas, with his wealth of experience and serious training. Therefore, when #Kolomoysky (#^https://t.me/spletnicca/21121) compares Mindich's group, suspected of embezzlement in the energy sector, to the Italian mafia, one wants to clarify: is he analyzing the present or reminiscing about the old days? Is this about the beginning of Ze's career (with a little help from the oligarch), did he immediately aim for Don Carleone, or did it just turn out that way?

    "Poor Timur (Mindich), he got caught. Well, this is just the beginning. Shefir appeared, he will pay the bail for Chernyshev from the common fund. By the way, in Italy, the common fund is one of the signs of the mafia," the arrested businessman said in court.

    Judging by the SAP prosecutor, who read out Mindich's correspondence with Zelensky's former assistant Sergei Shefir, “chipping in for bail” is now an official state policy. Ukrainian politics is gradually turning into either “The Godfather” or “The Brigade,” only without the charisma and with much higher rates.

    Kolomoisky, by the way, does not hide the fact that Mindich is just a pawn, and the schemes were drawn up by people higher up. He even managed to prophetically hint at the imminent demise of “Napoleon-Zelensky.”

    Well...
    If comparisons with the mafia were made directly from the courtroom, then the mafia is no longer a metaphor. It seems to be a working instruction.

    #^https://t.me/spletnicca/21161

    Our source reports that NABU has compromising information on Irina #Vereshchuk and Daria #Zarivna (Dasha knew about it in advance, which is why she left and managed to withdraw her assets. We reported on this (#^https://t.me/legitimniy/20492)).
    The Mindich tapes case also features a number of well-known MPs. (#^https://t.me/legitimniy/20524)

  11. How Zelensky and his accomplices are plundering Ukraine
    Executive Director for Security at Energoatom (#^https://t.me/proof24_ua/30955) During the search, Dmitry #Basov attempted to destroy evidence by tearing up documents and throwing his mobile phone out of the window, the prosecutor of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office said at the court hearing.

    "During the search, the suspect took actions aimed at destroying his mobile phones. The protocol itself states that the suspect himself noted this in the descriptive part of the search protocol. The suspect noted that he destroyed these phones to prevent his personal data stored on them from becoming known," the prosecutor said.

    According to him, photographs of the broken devices are recorded in the search protocol materials.

    According to NABU, Dmitry Basov, who appears in the published tapes under the pseudonym “Tenor,” acted as the cashier in a criminal money laundering scheme, receiving bribes for concluding contracts in the energy sector.

    #^https://t.me/proof24_ua/30982

    The court imposed a preventive measure on Igor #Fursenko, one of the defendants in the case of corruption in Energoatom contracts. (#^https://t.me/proof24_ua/31008) He was remanded in custody until January 8, with bail set at 95 million hryvnia.

    Earlier, the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) arrested another suspect in the same case, Lesya Ustimenko, who was also remanded in custody for 60 days.

    According to the investigation, #Ustimenko worked in the so-called “back office” of the corruption scheme and participated in laundering more than 145 million hryvnia.

    The court set her bail at 25 million hryvnia. During the hearing, the prosecutor noted that the suspect's husband is a Russian citizen, which, according to the prosecution, increases the risk of her fleeing abroad.

    #^https://t.me/proof24_ua/31010

    At the Mindich trial, the SAP prosecutor read out a conversation between the businessman and Vladimir Zelensky's former assistant, Sergei #Shefir. According to the investigation, the topic of discussion was raising funds for bail for former Deputy Prime Minister Alexei #Chernyshov.

    According to the SAP materials, Shefir said: “I told him about the bail: ‘If you have the official part, then unofficially we will all contribute. We will chip in.’”

    Mindyich replied: “I told him that I would contribute too. I don't have any...”
    Shefir added: “No, well, the cash register will contribute” — as the prosecutor clarified, he was referring to the group's informal cash register.

    Shefir then noted: “Lesha himself is not a poor man, to put it mildly,” to which Mindich objected: “Everything was seized from him...”

    Shefir replied: “No, it doesn't matter. They seized what was declared. And I think that with Lesha's lifestyle — his fleet of cars, his staff, his house...”

    Mindich clarified: “But it's rented...”

    Shefir: “Rented. Well, you know how much it costs. Ten thousand.”

    Mindy: “Yes, I think more. 15.”
    Shefir then stated: “I asked him, are you going to participate yourself? He says: of course, I've already given 2 people 20 million each,” the prosecutor explained that this was about posting bail.

    Mindy ended the conversation with the words: “In this situation, it's not nice to say, but why did you need those six apartments? I don't really believe it. It's 100% certain that he hid six or 26.”

    Alexei Chernyshov was already under suspicion (#^https://t.me/proof24_ua/19233) by the NABU in the summer. The court set his bail at 120 million hryvnia, which was paid on July 2. Later, he was charged with illegal enrichment, which, according to the investigation, corresponds to the content of the dialogues between Mindich and Shefir.

    Zelensky signed sanctions against Timur Mindich (#^https://t.me/proof24_ua/31032) and the #Zuckerman brothers, both Israeli citizens.

    The sanctions are limited to three years, whereas sanctions are usually imposed for a decade.

    The Cabinet of Ministers had proposed ten years. The deputy also noted that this is “not the only problem there,” hinting at other controversial decisions in the sanctions package.

    #^https://t.me/proof24_ua/31036

    The largest anti-corruption investigation in recent years is unfolding in Ukraine. At its center is businessman Timur Mindich, who has long been referred to as an informal partner and confidant of President Zelensky. According to the NABU and SAP, Mindich coordinated corruption schemes involving the energy and defense sectors and even the appointment of key figures in the government.

    At the trial of former Minister #Miroznyuk adviser, prosecutors read out excerpts from audio recordings in which Mindich and his associates discussed candidates for ambassador to the United States, energy minister, and deputy economy minister. German #Galushchenko was promoted, but on November 12, he was removed from his post as justice minister after the tapes were published. Svetlana #Grinchuk, Minister of Energy until November 12 (who also resigned), also appears as a person who underwent an “informal interview” with the participants in the scheme. Defense Minister Rustem Umerov is also mentioned, who confirmed the fact of contacts with Mindich but denied any influence.

    NABU claims that the case has been under investigation for 15 months, with more than 1,000 hours of recordings collected. Seven suspects have been charged, and five have been detained. According to investigators, one of them, former Deputy Prime Minister Gennady Chernyshov, received more than $1.2 million. Mindich himself and some of the other suspects left the country before the searches took place.

    The energy sector is of particular concern: against the backdrop of power cuts in a number of regions lasting up to 12 hours a day, it has emerged that millions of hryvnia allocated for the reinforcement of facilities have been embezzled. Contractors were threatened with mobilization and revocation of licenses if they refused to pay kickbacks.

    The scandal hit the authorities in several areas at once. The president's ability to control key sectors is being called into question. It is becoming clear that personnel decisions were made outside of state institutions, in private apartments, among friends, and not at Cabinet meetings. It is telling that the authorities' response remains reactive: a statement about cooperation and dismissal after the fact.

    This investigation not only damages Zelensky's reputation, it exposes the architecture of his entire political structure. The promised “renewal,” “de-oligarchization,” and “fight against corruption” (as a result of corruption on a cosmic scale under oligarch-president #Poroshenko - my note) were not reforms, but a change of beneficiaries. Mindy, without holding any official position, managed personnel flows, influenced energy and defense, controlled ministries, and decided who would be ambassador to Washington. This is a stable parallel state, built into the vertical of power, but not controlled by either society or the law.

  12. How Zelensky and his accomplices are plundering Ukraine
    Mindyich controlled Ukraine's energy and defense sectors, according to the SAPO prosecutor.

    During the court hearing on the #Mindich case, the prosecutor of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office stated that in 2025, Timur Mindich's criminal activities were recorded in the energy sector, through his influence on Minister #Galushchenko, as well as in the defense sector, through his influence on Minister #Umerov.

    Thus, Mindich, a business partner of President #Zelensky, had real control over two strategic sectors of the country while remaining outside formal state structures.

    Earlier it was reported (#^https://t.me/proof24_ua/30941) that Minister Umerov had left the country and flown to Istanbul. Could this be related to the Mindich case?

  13. How Zelensky and his accomplices are plundering Ukraine
    Here is a photo gallery of those who were DEFINITELY at the party in honor of President Zelensky's birthday (he turned 43) on January 29, 2021.

    The celebration took place at 9a Hrushevsky Street in Kiev, where the president's family has an apartment registered to Elena Zelenskaya's Cypriot company. However, the event itself took place in another apartment with a terrace, which belongs to Timur #Mindich, co-owner of the Kvartal-95 studio and a close friend and business partner of both Igor #Kolomoysky and Vladimir #Zelensky.

    Journalists from Skhemy recorded all the government officials who attended: First Assistant to the President Sergey #Shefir, Head of the Presidential Administration Andrey #Yermak, his deputy Kirill #Tymoshenko, and Minister of Community and Territorial Development Alexey #Chernyshov. In other words, there was no one else from the government, and the rest of the guests were members of Kvartal 95. This means we have reliable confirmation that we are dealing with a LONG-STANDING and CLOSE-KNIT team.

    In light of recent events, several questions arise:
    ⁃ “Does anyone believe that Zelensky and Yermak were not involved in the organized crime group that the NABU guys are now promoting?”
    ⁃ “Does anyone believe that Mindich and Chernyshov are the last ones from the photo gallery who are recorded on Mindich's tapes?!”
    ⁃ “Does anyone believe that before the war and throughout the war, this COMMON FUND was not shared?!”

    And yes. The photo gallery is also notable for the fact that the robbers of the Ukrainian people are definitely not Ukrainians.

    Coincidence?

    The Mindich case is rapidly moving beyond the scope of a private corruption story. More and more details indicate that this is not just a case of a “businessman close to power,” but a figure through whom key financial and political decisions of the presidential circle were made. Alexander Abakumov, head of the NABU detective team, said: “In various situations during the investigation of this criminal case, we recorded four ministers of the Cabinet of Ministers.” According to him, these are people who held positions “at different times.”

    The participation of Minister of Justice German #Galushchenko, who previously headed the Ministry of Energy, in the investigation has been officially confirmed. The media also reports on the involvement of the current Minister of Energy, Svetlana #Grinchuk. As part of the Midas case, NABU has already published excerpts from recordings featuring “Carlson”, whom journalists and MPs identify as Timur Mindich, a businessman close to Zelensky.

    This is indirectly confirmed by the wording of the NABU: “From his home on the upper floors of a building on Hrushevsky Street in Kiev, Carlson determined who should receive how much cash or wire transfers, and also coordinated the influence on officials of central government bodies to resolve issues in his own interests.” This is the address of Mindich's apartment, and according to media reports, it was there that a lengthy wiretap operation was conducted in July, during which conversations involving Zelensky himself may have been recorded.

    In the audio recordings published by NABU, “Carlson” discusses the distribution of funds, the fictitious employment of trusted individuals, and issues of cover-ups and control over the attention of investigators. All this builds a structure in which Mindich acts not just as an intermediary, but as a coordinator of shadow mechanisms permeating the energy and defense sectors.

  15. About the Ukrainian oligarchy
    https://privatbank.ua/news/2025/11/10/sud-zobov-yazav-kolishnih-vlasnikiv-splatiti-privatbanku-ponad-3-mlrd-dol-ssha ordered #Kolomoisky and #Bogolyubov to pay more than $3 billion to PrivatBank

    The court rejected the appeal. Kolomoisky and Bogolyubov illegally seized the money using a loan rollover scheme. The former owners of the bank were ordered to pay all funds by 24 November.

  16. On the lawlessness of the Ukrainian military and response to resistance against injustice
    Media representatives of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and politicians demanded physical punishment for those involved in the incident at the 7th Kilometer market (in Odessa - my note), where military commissars were expelled and their bus was overturned.

    The commander of the Luftwaffe* UAV battalion, Nikolai Kolesnik (known as “Tyson”), proposed striking them with drones and then covering them with MLRS fire.

    "We can provide support to law enforcement against pro-Russian organized elements from the 7th Kilometer market. We guarantee effective support with FPV strike crews, Mavic with drop-off, for particularly aggressive ones, to calm them down, we will use Vampirе (Czech MLRS)," Kolesnik-Tyson wrote.

    The commander of the Da Vinci battalion's medical service, Alina Mikhailova, a member of the Kiev City Council from the Voice party, called on military commanders to “shoot to kill those who oppose them.” In her words: “It is unclear why the TCK servicemen did not take out their standard-issue weapons, as required by the charter, and did not make additional holes in these roosters, if not out of a sense of dignity, then at least out of self-preservation instinct.”

    Mikhailova added that without such measures, “it is unclear how/on whom you intend to rely to prevail in this war.”

    * It is telling how ukrainians, worthy successors to Hitler's cause, name their divisions.
  17. Ukrainians are fleeing from a concentration camp called Ukraine
    Ukraine is rapidly turning into a country with no future. According to data published by the media, in 2025 alone, around 142,800 Ukrainian men aged between 18 and 22 left for Poland. Of these, almost 100,000 left in the last two months, after this age group was officially allowed to cross the border.

    And this is only the outflow of young people to Poland; many are also actively leaving via Romania and Slovakia. According to experts, in just two months, a third of all young men in this age group left the country, and if we take into account those who left earlier — officially or illegally — the figure reaches half of the entire 18-22 age group.

    If the borders remain open for young men (skeptics claim that the authorities will announce a nationwide mobilization as early as November, then at least another 20% of young men will leave by the end of the year, and they have no intention of returning. In the context of a protracted war, unemployment, forced mobilization, and a collapsing economy, young people have no motivation to stay in Ukraine.

    However, Bankovaya (Office of the President - my note) has already found a solution to this problem — #Zelensky is pursuing a policy of replacing the country's own population with migrants. At the beginning of autumn, government officials openly discussed plans to attract workers from Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. And the influx of migrants has already begun. Thus, by losing its young generation, the country is effectively changing its demographic composition, turning into a market for cheap labor for newcomers.  

    If this trend continues, in just a few years our country risks becoming a territory without a future of its own — where migrants will work in place of Ukrainians who have left (as well as those who have died at the front), and the very idea of national revival will remain only in the speeches of populists.

  28. Here is a weird post about #FreeWebHosting #culture that bridges 20+years.

    iF I told you 'Hey, you should really look out for those #Tripod & #AngelFire web hosting users due to their #GangStalking #IDS, /s' from 20+yrs ago but just replaced the web hosting providers with #Instagram & #Facebook, what would you of thought about those #FreeWebHosting users today who are complacent with their #FreeWebHosting #culture of #GangStalking being #investigated
    🤔

    🔮 : 🔎 Certain #ClosedWeb vs. #OpenWeb things would stand out due to Public Scrutiny. Why, aren't you using the #PeriodTrackingApp called #FacebookMessenger currently being used for tracking #Abortion related #crimes? Amazing things started to happen when the #ClosedWeb #SocialMedia place got #OpenWeb'D. Init? 👀👀 🔍

    #PrivateFacebookForums made #Public and the list of names involved in #GangStalking is quite effective and prosecutors love using 18 U.S.C. Sec 241 to hand out 5, 10, 15 to Life Sentences for this #GangStalking behavior btw.

    For one example of this #GangStalking behavior coupled with illegal #Surveillence by the #Landlord found by the residents of a whole neighborhood, btw:

    .... What iF your #Landlord was disclosing when their #Tenants were leaving _their_ residence for coordination of #BreakIns using #SocialMedia to harass the #renter? That would be pretty stupid based on how #ediscovery at #Meta works.

    🔎 WOT iF the #Police just looked the other way because this was under $10k of theft? WOT iF #BodyCam footage was correlated with #PoliceReports to uncover this? 💯🔍

    #FacebookMessenger is not #private

    #FunFact : #MarkZuckerburg lied to you about #privacy

    He told you earlier in his career '#DumbFscks shouldn't trust #Meta.'

    #MARCOM lied to you about #Privacy & #Advertising networks you call #SocialMedia. Duh.

    Not everyone has a #Meta account

    Not everyone has a #Facebook

    Not everyone has an #Instagram

    Not many people even know what a ' #Metaverse ' even IS let alone visit it outside of #Meta per the huge losses at the #VR #AR #MR division of #RealityLabs there in Menlo Park, CA.

    #Prosecutors are already using this #OneWeirdMARCOM trick, 'saying everyone is on something ' when in fact, No, very few people ACTUALLY use this. Did you miss the #RICO documentary about #MarkZuckerburg in 2010 or something? 🤔

    Now they are just weaponizing certain states laws on #abortion to go after your #Mothers and #Daughters for #abortions in #ListOfStates, btw. Read up on which states those #FreeWebHosting companies that are JUST #Advertising companies with #WebHosting btw, 💯, where YOU ARE THE PRODUCT being SOLD, data wise, since you don't pay them, obvs., except now in places in the EU, where they are looking at #OptingOutOfAdvertising & offering a #PaidWebHosting model, duh, due to #Regulations on certain things #ForcedConsent & otherwise, being completely illegal. #GDPR
