🇦🇷 Argentine people voted for right-wing economist Javier Milei out of "despair in a hopeless situation", Professor Heinz Dieterich told Sputnik.

The South American country is mired in foreign debt, with hyper-inflation, whose "political class is totally corrupt", the former adviser to late Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez said. Weighing in on Milei’s suggestions of ditching the peso, "dollarizing’ the economy and possibly rejecting BRICS", Dieterich added:

"You don't need to be an economist to understand that from a macroeconomic point of view [these proposals] are complete nonsense. Their transcendental meaning is the end of the Argentine sovereign nation and its annexation as a kind of 'Free Associated State' like Puerto Rico or a kind of 51st state of the US."

Zelensky publicly criticizes ex top Ukrainian general Zaluzhny for the first time

Commenting to British newspaper The Sun on relations with commanders, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that during the war, generals cannot engage in politics, as it does not contribute to the unity of the nation.

“If you manage war keeping in mind that tomorrow you will do politics or elections, then in your words and on the front line you behave as a politician and not as a military man, and I think that is a huge mistake … With all the respect to Gen Zaluzhny and to all the commanders who are on the battlefield, there is an absolute understanding of the hierarchy and that is it, and there can’t be two, three, four, five.”
