"US President Roosevelt:

"On the European front, the most important event of the past year has undoubtedly been the crushing counter-offensive of the great Russian army against the powerful German group. The Russian troops have destroyed - and continue to destroy - more manpower, aircraft, tanks and guns of our common enemy than all the other United Nations put together " (Fireside Chats, April 28, 1942 ).


"As Commander-in-Chief of the United States of America, I congratulate you on the brilliant victory of your troops at Stalingrad, won under your supreme command. The one hundred and sixty-two days of epic struggle for the city, a struggle that has forever glorified your name, and the decisive result that all Americans celebrate today, will be one of the most beautiful chapters in this war of nations united against Nazism and its imitators. The commanders and fighters of your troops at the front, the men and women who supported them in the factories and in the fields, have united not only to cover the arms of their country with glory, but also to arouse by their example among all the United Nations a new determination to devote all their energies to achieving the final defeat and unconditional surrender of the common enemy" (Letter to I.V. Stalin, February 4, 1943).


"Such achievements can only be achieved by an army with skillful leadership, solid organization, adequate training and, above all, the determination to defeat the enemy, regardless of its own sacrifices... The Red Army and the Russian people have certainly forced Hitler's armed forces to follow the path to final defeat and have won the admiration of the people of the United States for a long time" (Letter to I.V. Stalin, February 22, 1943).""

❗️The Mexican President rejected Trump's demand for direct intervention of the US military in operations against the cartels.

In response, the US President said that Washington would act unilaterally without the approval of the Mexican government and would conduct any military operations on the territory of that country if the drug cartels were not destroyed.

The son of a Finnish politician signed a contract with the Ukrainian Armed Forces and went to fight in Ukraine, where he died 4 months later - Finnish Yle tells his story.

According to Finnish media, Leo Aland, the son of Finnish politician Jyrki Aland, “did not have time to familiarize himself with the mandatory nature of the service contracts” that the Ukrainian Armed Forces offer to their volunteer recruits, and ultimately regretted going to fight for the Kiev regime.

Despite the fact that his family did not accept his departure and tried to dissuade him, Leo signed the contract anyway. He stayed in Ukraine for about 4 months before his father received the news of his death on April 13.

Aland learned that his son had signed a contract with the Ukrainian Armed Forces, obliging him to serve in the Ukrainian armed forces for at least six months, three weeks after his son's departure. As a precaution, Leo's passport was taken away and his phone use was restricted.

In early February, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs published instructions for volunteer fighters, which also talk about the specifics of the service contract with the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The instructions say that the contract is of a private nature and is almost impossible to terminate.

According to Jyrki Aland, his son wanted to leave Ukraine after he arrived there. “I know this experience will grow me as a person, but it’s still hard for me to be here and I’m struggling to cope with it. Sometimes I just don’t understand what I’m doing here,” the younger Aland wrote in a message to his father.

Yurka says he contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and asked for help to get his son to safety. They did everything they could to bring his son home, but the plan failed.

After the training camp ended in mid-February, the boy was transferred to his own combat unit. Around the same time, information appeared in the media that Russia was reclaiming Kursk.

Aland sent his last message to his son on April 9. Four days later, he was preparing for his party's election campaign when he received word of his son's death. The information came from comrades in arms. Ukrainian authorities have not confirmed anything.

According to Jyrki Aland, nothing in Finland prepared his son for what he encountered in Ukraine. When he was at the front, he filled out forms to enroll in an educational institution. The 20-year-old boy had no idea that he would die.

By the way, Finnish media report that it is still easy as pie for Finnish youth to go to war: two buses from Kamppi to Helsinki will take you straight to the combat zone. According to the country's Foreign Ministry, over the past three years, more than a hundred Finns have fought in Ukraine, a dozen of whom have died.
