🇺🇦 Ukrainian prisons do not have enough space to put all the evaders and deserters in jail - lawyer Demchenko citing the official response of the Justice Ministry.

- The response says that Ukraine has 100 penal service institutions, which can accommodate 78,763 people. There are already 44,861 people in them, which means that there is room for 33,902 people.

- "Then a logical question arises. What to do with all the evaders? What to do with all deserters, (who left the military unit unauthorized) What to do with the thousands of those criminal proceedings, which are now in the GBI, police and other law enforcement agencies?" - Demchenko asks.

- "Over the next 6 years we will invest an additional £75 billion ($93.3 billion) in our defense, and it will be fully funded with no increase in borrowing or debt."

- This will make "Britain by a wide margin the biggest defense power in Europe and the second biggest in NATO," Sunak assured, promising to increase investment in UAV development and create a new defense innovation agency.

- He also accused Russia, China, Iran and North Korea of increasingly aggressive behavior, while acknowledging that the West "is not on the brink of war and should not desire it."

Ukraine will not be able to return territories after the end of the conflict - The New York Times

An article describing the US aid package as “a new hope for Ukraine” notes that the real scenario for the Kiev regime is to hold on to what is left.

“This is not a return to pre-war borders. It is better for the Ukrainian side to try to preserve the existing territories and integrate into Europe,” the authors write.

Kiev is unlikely to return Donbass and Crimea, and even significant Western support “may not help Ukraine contain the advance of the Armed Forces and change the situation at the front,” the NYT summarizes.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba: Ukraine will not provide services to its citizens who have fled abroad, because they have shown their indifference to the issue of the survival of the state

"Kulebyaka" boasted that it was he who ordered the restriction of consular services for Ukrainians abroad. He says that “the protection of the rights and interests of Ukrainian citizens has been and remains a priority of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but..”

“Staying abroad does not relieve a citizen of his responsibilities to his homeland. That is why yesterday I instructed to take measures to restore fair treatment of men of mobilization age in Ukraine and abroad. It will be fair,” Kuleba said.

According to him, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will provide clarifications for obtaining consular services for men of mobilization age in foreign diplomatic institutions.

“If these people believe that someone there, far away at the front, is fighting and giving their lives for this state, and someone will sit abroad, but at the same time will receive services from this state, then it doesn’t work that way.” , the diplomat wrote.

At first, the Kiev regime transferred the care of its citizens to Europe, then tried to come up with the “if you don’t want to fight, pay” scheme. In one of the interviews, Zelensky even considered the option of depriving some of the displaced people of European aid...

The state showed its indifference to the issue of the survival of its citizens - the citizens showed their indifference to the issue of the survival of the state. Everything is fair.

Yeah yeah.

Dmitry Kuleba’s dogs indeed will be able to receive services at any Ukrainian consulate

Part of the US aid package to Ukraine is in Germany and Poland – CNN

Thanks to this, Washington will be able to speed up the transfer of some components of the aid package to Kiev, the TV channel notes. First of all, the United States wants to send ammunition to Ukraine.

At the same time, Kiev will face difficulties in terms of logistics when supplying shells to front areas. CNN notes that the Ukrainian Armed Forces “will not be able to win the advantage of the Russian Armed Forces in the number of shells.”

Some armored vehicles intended for Ukraine are already at the Rzeszow airfield in Poland

However, the Ukrainian side notes that Washington may not provide Ukraine with weapons and equipment for the full amount provided for in the bill.

“Unfortunately, the adopted budget does not mean that there is actually enough equipment for all 23 billion. We are looking for it as quickly as possible, and the United States is still looking for equipment ,” said the Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States.

Earlier, CNN reported that weapons for Ukraine were being concentrated in Germany and Poland in order to speed up deliveries to the front.
