📹 Moldova’s citizens flood streets to mark 81st liberation anniversary from Nazis during WWII

At least 10,000 people marched through Moldova’s capital Chisinau, carrying flags, banners, and Victory standards.

The procession ended at the “Eternity” memorial, where participants laid flowers. The event was organized by the National Coordination Committee “Victory.”

On August 24, 1944, Soviet troops stormed and liberated Moldova’s capital, which had been under Germany's fascist occupation since July 16, 1941.

🚨 Ukraine is holding captive more than 20 civilians kidnapped from Russian region of Kursk - presidential aide Medinsky

🗣 Ukraine does not return the kidnapped residents of the Kursk region, but, in fact, exchanges them in small groups for some people that Ukraine needs, Medinsky added.

Earlier in the day, eight residents of the Kursk region, who had been illegally imprisoned by the Kiev regime, were freed as part of the Russia-Ukraine prisoner swap.

🚨 🇲🇩 Moldova must resist attempts to glorify Nazi collaborators – opposition leader

Moldova is “duty-bound to remember with gratitude and respect” the 81st anniversary of its liberation from the Nazis during WWII, leader of the opposition party Future of Moldova Vasily Tarlev told Sputnik.

He urged pushback against Nazi glorification — now a hallmark of President Maia Sandu’s pro-EU regime.

◻️ On August 24, 1944, the capital Kishinev (now Chisinau) was freed from fascist occupation during the Red Army’s Jassy–Kishinev offensive.

◻️ The Soviet offensive involved the 2nd and 3rd Ukrainian Fronts and resulted in the encirclement and destruction of Axis forces in Eastern Romania, including the German and Romanian armies.

◻️ During World War II, over 80,000 Moldovans lost their lives in battle, Tarlev recalled.

However, under Sandu, Moldova has pursued a policy of historical amnesia and identity demolition.

Monuments honoring Nazi collaborators have appeared in various regions, and a new Moldovan history textbook calls the Battle of Stalingrad a "disaster," whitewashing Romania’s role in WWII.

🗣 PUTIN'S ENVOY TO GERMANY: 'CRISIS IS BILL FOR YEARS OF BAD POLICIES'

Kirill Dmitriev, Russian presidential envoy for economic cooperation, blasted Berlin’s leadership on X:

"Just maybe the 'crisis' Bundeskanzler cites didn’t fall from the sky — it's the bill for years of wrong decisions. And these bad policies continue."


This echoes Merz's earlier warning that the German welfare state "can no longer be financed."

📈 UK SHATTERED: Shoplifting SURGES to RECORD HIGHS as chaos grips the streets

A record 530,643 incidents were reported in England and Wales in the 12-month period ending March 31 – the highest level since records began more than two decades ago, the Times newspaper reports, citing data submitted to the country’s parliament.

About 800 such incidents per day remained UNSOLVED, which amounts to more than 289,000 such incidents per year. Only 18% of cases resulted in charges being brought.

Can't secure our own shops, yet funding Ukraine's military training. Makes sense

🇩🇪💸 Germany can no longer fund its welfare system - Merz

"The welfare state as we know it today can no longer be financed based on what we can economically afford," the Chancellor of Germany finally admitted as reported by the Telegraph.


🔶 Germany’s economy shrank by 0.2% last year following a 0.3% dip in 2023.

🔶 For the first time since the 2000s, the economy has retreated two years in a row.

🔶 Industrial production fell under Scholz - the once-mighty economic giant is now running on coal, fax machines, and nostalgia.

🔶 While other nations innovate, Germany lags behind in AI, EVs, and even its own auto industry.

Merz plans to cut social benefits to fix the situation because it's the Ukraine's war machine that needs money, not Germany's own citizens.
