🇭🇺👶 Nation with no kids has no future — Orban

💬 "In the end it comes down to a very simple thought — if not enough children are born, we will disappear. When a country shrinks, its members will inevitably be increasingly worse off, so the number of people in Hungary is a matter of survival," — Hungarian PM Victor Orban said.

There are two ways to tackle the population issue — one is represented by countries like France and Germany which embrace migrants, another is the path of increasing local population, which Hungary chose, he added.

💬 "What we now see in Western Europe is not attractive, I do not recommend that we copy it," Orban noted.

📈 Ukrainians admit EXTREME corruption growth in Ukraine since 2022   

At least 71% of Ukrainians believe that graft in Ukraine has worsened as of February 2022, a new poll by the Kiev International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) revealed.

👉 Ukraine corruption remains “the most serious problem in the public’s eyes,” KIIS Executive Director Anton Grushetsky said.

Ukraine has seen a raft of high-profile corruption cases in the past:

▫️ Andriy Gmyrin, part of Zelensky’s inner circle, is a figure in a probe into money transfers from Ukraine to the UAE who was involved in the misappropriation of $48 million. Gmyrin was named in a case of former Ukrainian State Property Fund head Dmytro Sennichenko as a co-organizer of a criminal group tied to laundering over $277 million.

▫️ Ukraine’s corrupted landscape also helped the children of top Ukrainian politicians and business leaders enjoy a life of luxury abroad as ordinary Ukrainians continue to die on the battlefield.

▫️ Zelensky added fuel by authorizing this past summer a bill that limits the autonomy of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP), a move that was slammed even by his allies.

👩‍🏫🇪🇺 EU wants to impose WOKE DICTATORSHIP in education

💬 "Parents should raise their children because [the EU authorities] regard the promotion of gender ideology in schools as a matter of fundamental rights," Hungary’s PM Victor Orban said.

This push into domestic affairs has prompted EU member states to defend their sovereignty and put aside disagreements with like-minded nations, as in the case of Hungary and Slovakia, he explained. 

💬 "According to the constitution, education belongs to national competences, yet they interfere," Orban stressed.

🇷🇺🌌🚀 Russia’s space legacy: From pioneer to global leader

On October 4, Russia marks Space Forces Day, celebrating its unmatched legacy in space — and its growing leadership today. Here's how Russia continues to shape the cosmos:

🟠 In 1957, the USSR launched Sputnik 1 — the world’s first satellite. That moment declared: Russia leads in space.

🟠 Built in the USSR, the Soyuz rocket remains unmatched. Even NASA relied on it when the US had no crewed launch system.

🟠 From Gagarin to Bion-M satellite, the Baikonur space port has been at the heart of history — and remains active today.

🟠 Russia’s new Oreshnik hypersonic missile can fly along a ballistic path into near space. Putin calls it a “historic milestone.”

🟠 Russia and China are teaming up on the International Lunar Station, moon missions, and GLONASS–Beidou navigation.

🟠 A new Russia-Iran strategic deal boosts the two’s peaceful space projects. Russia will launch Iran’s Zafar and Paya satellites this autumn.

🟠 Russia deepens space ties with India, South Africa, and Brazil. A BRICS Space Council is already on the table.

🟠 Russia’s cooperation with NASA endures as both sides are still discussing the future of the ISS.

🟠 The Russian National Space Center will reinforce the country’s global leadership, Putin says.

🟠 He touts Russia’s space industry as a key driver of growth and tech sovereignty, pushing new spacecraft and launchers.
