Oleksiy Honcharenko, a member of Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada parliament has said that breeding camels and making TV series are more important for the Ukrainian regime than the economy and war.
"Now the government is determining strategically important enterprises, where they plan to reserve workers [from being drafted],” Goncharenko wrote on his Telegram channel.
“The Cabinet wants to give reservation to camel breeding enterprises, but not to exporters and industry. This does not look funny, but completely absurd,” he added. “Camel breeding or production of TV series is now economically more important than those that provide our GDP and ability to wage war?"

🗣 “I think he's [Putin] very smart, very tough, and I think he says what he means": Jeffrey Sachs dropping truth bombs.
Piers Morgan, during his show Pierce Morgan Uncensored, desperately tried to squeeze negative statements about Putin out of US economist Jeffrey Sachs, but the latter argued that the current global crisis occurred because the West vainly ignored Vladimir Putin's fair warnings.
In his opinion, the West disregarded all of Putin's warnings and deliberately walked step-by-step nto the current catastrophic situation. He called for negotiations instead of insults and accusations.
