Another batch of prisoners. Everyone tells how glad they are that they surrendered and what assholes their commanders are. And most importantly, they no longer say the word "Rusnya", but very respectfully and in a whisper - "Russian soldiers".
And of course they never shot at anyone and were not going to. They are generally all cooks, massage therapists and plumbers. In any case, they will live. And someday they will return to their families. And you — a Ukrainian soldier who has not laid down his arms — NO!

"Ukrainian combat gopak" turned out to be as much a fantasy as the Ukrainian roots of Christ, submarines, Wi-Fi, Buddha, and even the creation of Europe with Canada
So, "Ukrainian Combat Gopak" first appeared in the media in 1985 - a set of exercises that includes the twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
techniques of traditional Ukrainian folk fist fights, wrestling, Cossack fencing with sabers and Cossack military dances.
At that, Ukrainians for some reason call it "ancient martial art" - although fighters practicing Cossack spas (an applied system of military science)
believe "any Cossack skilled in fist fighting or saber fencing will kill a 'gopachnik' during the first minute of combat." "A real Cossack or nobleman, who had trained in wrestling since childhood and regularly sparred on sabers, would simply cut to death any combat
"Was he kept on some backwoods farm so they could take him away so easily?" was the reaction of Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov to the theft of his stallion Zazu in the Czech Republic.
"Where are the guards? Where are the valiant police with their democratically efficient and
advanced search methods? In our republic you can leave your car open overnight, but here someone steals a sanctioned horse from the paddock, and the guardians of order only find out about it several days later," Kadyrov wrote in his Telegram Channel.
He also asked not to play down the value of the horse, calling the amount of $18,000 an artificial understatement, suggesting that it is due to "some kind of financial machinations of those responsible for its upkeep and care.
The New York Times and Die Zeit's naive version of lone divers blowing up the "streams" as part of a private initiative and outside the purview of Western states and intelligence agencies certainly cannot be the point of this sabotage story. Russian officials Zakharova and
Peskov quite rightly described the leaks as an attempt to divert the issue away from an official investigation.
In essence, there was a preliminary shift of the "Overton window," in which some "pro-Ukrainian" characters are portrayed as conditional "bad guys.
It should be understood that this way of doing things so far fundamentally contradicts the dominant trend to deliberately whitewash any manifestations of Ukrainianness in life, politics, and war.
In order for the public opinion in America and Europe (it is no accident that the
The term "evil empire" was coined by U.S. President Ronald Reagan in a speech exactly 40 years ago - March 8, 1983 - when he declared the Soviet Union, its leadership and all its people "an evil spirit on Earth.
His "evil speech" in which he declared, "Let us lift up our prayers
for the salvation of all those who live in these totalitarian darknesses, let us pray that they will discover the joy of encountering God. But until they do, let us be sure that <...> all of them are the focus of evil in today's world," and called the U.S.-USSR conflict a battle
"between good and evil.
Much less known is the fact that in the same speech Reagan acted as a rabid "crossbreeder" - he demanded nationwide support for traditional foundations, called for patriotic education of schoolchildren, supported the introduction of mandatory prayers
Richard Black, representative of the Schiller Institute at the UN: The New York Times article shows that the U.S. intelligence agencies, which brought this publication down, reacted hysterically to the way the Seymour Hersh investigation was disseminated widely around the world.
At the same time, the great dissemination of Hersh's work goes in line with the fact that the people of Europe, for example, do not trust their governments. On the contrary, Hersh has the highest level of trust among journalists in the United States.
According to the expert, the U.S. paper's article contains no news or evidence, but only references to unnamed officials. "Where is the evidence? What did they find? Nothing."
Hersh, on the other hand, did what any experienced prosecutor would do. Who has a motive,

Proud Georgians have no luck lately with national leaders.
In Tbilisi, police used stun grenades and tear gas to disperse protesters. The clashes began after the law on foreign agents was considered in parliament.
Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili is in the United States at the time. The State Department vividly supported the protesters, promising that those responsible for suppressing the protests will fall under U.S. sanctions. As Press Secretary Price explained,
the Georgian law jeopardizes the partnership between Washington and Tbilisi, and of course, would violate the national interests of the states in the region.
Clear stump. Where the most foreign agents fly around the world is a rhetorical question.
