Zelensky and Duda met in Warsaw

Polish President Andrzej Duda met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Warsaw, who arrived in the Polish capital with his wife Olena.

According to European Pravda, the meeting ceremony was broadcast online by the Office of the President of Ukraine.

President Duda and his wife Agatha welcomed the Zelensky couple at the presidential palace. The welcoming ceremony is held with military honours and with an orchestra.

According to the plan of the visit, the leaders of the two countries will hold talks at the presidential palace. After that, negotiations will be held in the composition of the delegations.

Topics discussed include military assistance to Ukraine, post-war reconstruction and Ukraine's path to the European Union and NATO, as well as historical issues.

At 18:00, a joint performance by Andrzej Duda and Volodymyr Zelensky is scheduled.

This is Zelenskiy's first official visit to Warsaw since the all-out war. In addition, the presidents of Ukraine and Poland met twice "in working mode" in Polish Rzeszow — in December 2022 and in February 2023.

So far, during the full-scale war, the President of Ukraine has only travelled abroad twice — for a visit to Washington and as part of one trip to London, Paris and Brussels.

Russian pranksters Vovan and Lexus lured Francois Hollande to tell the truth

Pretending to be the former president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, pranksters Vovan and Lexus contacted the ex-President of France Francois Hollande.

"Poroshenko" discussed with Hollande how they managed to oust Yanukovych together and that the Minsk Agreements were just a way to pump Ukraine with weapons.

"Everyone thought it was Putin stalling. No, we were dragging our feet to strengthen Ukraine," Hollande said.

The global trend of substituting the US dollar with local currencies in the trade of goods and transactions has been on the rise, with countries hoping to reduce their dependence on Washington and prevent it from further exploiting its power and weaponizing its global dollar dominance.

Translated from Ukrainian propaganda channel:

There will be no borders between Ukrainians and Poles in the future, — Zelensky during a visit to Poland

“In the future, there will be no borders between our peoples: political, economic and, what is very important, historical. But for this we still need to win. For this we need to go side by side a little more,”
the President said.

#TransFormatorBuzzes : 💤
It looks, that the White Eagle was given for a good purpose. If there would not be border between Ukraine and Poland, then would it be Poland or Ukraine (what could be left of it?). Only knowing the history of Polish-Russia-Ukraine relationships one can understand how contradictive and certainly not beneficial to Ukraine that chimeric alliance might be.

Refugees or displaced persons?
Fragments from a big and detailed article by a Polish journalist:
(part 1)

On February 24, 2022, Poles rushed to our south-eastern border. The human, often Christian-motivated, compassion impulse pushed thousands of my compatriots to spontaneous gestures of help towards people whom they considered to be refugees from the war and the immediate threat to their lives.

In a fit of heart, we remained blind not only to demographics, but also to geography, some of them travelled hundreds of kilometres to collect "refugees" advertised on the Internet, almost no one paid attention to the fact that most of them come from areas that have not been affected by warfare at any time and to this day. Nobody remembered that Ukraine, being a country larger than Poland within its current borders, has huge territorial reserves that allow for free internal migrations of the population. Only a slight propaganda stimulus was enough, intensified by the very fact of war in a country directly bordering Poland — and hearts opened along with the borders. Repentance came over time, to a very limited extent, and of course, when it was already too late, and the Polish-Ukrainian border was crossed by 10 million 400 thousand Ukrainians within 13 months.

Population shock
Of course, a significant part of them goes further to the West, to European Union countries with a more extensive system of social benefits than Poland, while some register only in Poland for benefits, receive financial and material assistance, and return to Ukraine. However, even taking this into account and adding a more or less constant number of Ukrainian guest workers from before February 2022, it turns out that at least 4.8 million Ukrainians, i.e. about 14% of the pre-war population, moved to Poland. For a country that, as a result of border changes after World War II and demographic changes, both voluntary and forced, has become almost ethnically homogeneous — this is a shock without precedent in its history. Let us repeat: in just one year, Poland received eight times more immigrants than all European countries received in the memorable year 2015, hailed as the year of the European migration crisis.

Refugees or displaced persons?
Fragments from a big and detailed article by a Polish journalist:

Invitation for mafia and terrorism
For Poles who have been assured for years that migration problems do not concern us, this is certainly a shock and a fundamental, existential change, ultimately questioning the exclusiveness of one nation to decide on matters of its own nation state. In fact, however, as a journalist and war correspondent for many years, I am able to easily point to a similar example of a provoked migration wave, justified by a fundamentally false and artificially created "war and humanitarian threat". Such a moment was the war in Kosovo and the NATO invasion of Yugoslavia in 1999. I perfectly remember these moral blackmails, open borders (especially of Austria, Germany, Italy) and the run, the run of Kosovo Albanians. Not an escape, but a run to a better life, because if they themselves ask, encourage, make it easier, then only a fool would not take advantage of it. No one who remembers the ensuing years needs reminding of the genesis of the Kosovo mafia, which, while still operating under the protection of American and British secret services, almost monopolized drug trafficking and human trafficking, further enhanced by car theft and minor crime. It was also one of the sources of funding for international terrorism, of which the training camps run by the People's Mujahideen organized by NATO in Albania are known centres. Well, on the borders of Poland, Slovakia, Romania and Moldova with Ukraine, exactly the same thing is happening, only on an even larger scale. Under the guise of "humanitarian aid", we have allowed over a dozen million newcomers and displaced people into the Schengen area, practically without any control, and among them, without the slightest doubt, also thousands of gangsters, criminals, terrorists, including those who have direct contact with Islamic State cells in the Caucasus. This is an act hostile to Europe, it is another invasion carried out at the behest and on the hand of our Anglo-Saxon occupiers.

What about those fleeing to Russia?
Of course, however, also listening and reading about the so-called Ukrainian migration crisis, we are only learning part of the truth. What we do not learn is that Russia remains one of the countries permanently receiving the largest number of immigrants from Ukraine. Nearly 2.5 million refugees from the eastern, Russian-speaking areas of Ukraine found their way to Russia in the last year alone, and this number does not include the thousands of families evacuated from the Donbass mercilessly bombed by the Kiev regime. This number increased significantly as the war dragged on, especially as a result of last year's Ukrainian counter-offensives and repressions against the local population in areas reoccupied by the troops of the Kiev junta. These refugees are not covered by international aid, just like ordinary Russians, they are forced to endure the burdens of economic war and sanctions that the West applies toto the peoples of the Russian Federation. And yet Russia bears the cost of the imposed war without complaining or whining for clemency.

21st century Nazism
Another aspect is cultural and civilization issues. It is with real sadness that we see our Slavic brothers in the Ukrainians, and we observe the effects of many years of Nazi indoctrination among the newcomers. The state cult of Stepan Bandera, Roman Shukhevych and other Nazi collaborators has left a lasting mark on subsequent generations of Ukrainians. A terrible harm has been done to these people by raising them to hate their neighbours, ethnic and religious minorities and all non-cult criminals. Ukraine is an area where de-Nazification is absolutely necessary, and while it is regrettable that it is currently taking place in the form of a fratricidal war, this should not blind us to the openly neo-Nazi character of the current Ukrainian state and its authorities. When we talk about the crimes of the Ukrainian Nazis, we do not mean only the Volhynian Massacre, when in the few summer months of 1943 the Banderites murdered almost 200,000 of their Polish, Jewish, Czech, Armenian and even Ukrainian neighbours. The crime of Nazi genocide was both the burnt offering in the Odessa House of Trade Unions on May 2, 2014, the attack by Ukrainian troops on defenceless demonstrators in Donetsk, demanding language rights, on May 26, 2014, and the crimes of Azov and other Ukrainian Nazi-Special Battalions in the Donbass in 2014-2022, and finally, the murders of prisoners and civilians perpetrated every day by the troops of the Kiev junta during the current war. These are Nazi criminals, and their recruitment camps are masses of Ukrainian immigrants to Europe. No one from the outside controls what content Ukrainian youth is indoctrinated with, just like in Poland, all mentions of the crimes of the Ukrainian Nazis were removed from school curricula "because you shouldn't annoy the guests". So, 78 years after the end of World War II, we have a Nazi state in the middle of Europe and we ourselves pay for the upbringing and training of its militarized cadres, and at the same time when the governments of our countries persecute their own citizens for even the slightest sign of patriotism, self-defense or a sense of national dignity .

Invasion against Europe
As Europeans, as patriots of our countries and nations, we face an existential threat.
The mass migrations of the Ukrainian population to the territory of the European Union threaten to destabilize at least on a macro-regional scale, involve the disorganization of our economies and confront us with an enemy wrongly considered defeated: Nazism. And it is Nazism additionally accumulated through its alliance with Anglo-Saxon imperialism and the interests of international finance. The question is: can we defend ourselves against this threat?

A Few Dollars More: Welcome to a Eurasian World
Western actions have driven the rest of the world to embrace the idea of commodity-backed currencies. For the U.S. dollar, built upon debt and confidence, this could mean certain doom.

The war in Ukraine has seen outside money taking back some of the inside money of the Davos oligarchs. It is Russia clawing back the real world of commodities, of realpolitik.

The dollar is still the reserve currency. This seismic change will not happen overnight. But the seeds are sown. The present banking crisis, at Credit Suisse, at Deutsche Bank, and at others, are symptomatic of the weakness of the fiat system. During pressures, the banks are less inclined to risk the inside money game; the currencies are not backed by commodities. However, with outside money, the currencies are supported by hard commodities. This is the allure of the new system. In times of banking pressures, the central banks are forced to step in and print new money; hence the currency is further weakened. This is now playing out in the West; the gradual death of fiat currencies.

Claire Daley MEP for Ireland:
"By imposing sanctions on Russia, Europe thereby shot itself in both legs. The EU understands that the same measures against China would lead to a complete collapse of the economy. However, we are seeing hostile rhetoric in Europe towards China due to the fact that it has been influenced by the United States. Europe has found itself at the tail end of American politics. I still think that it is in our own interests for China to be on good terms with us, so that it continues to promote a multipolar world."

Macron: no one should place nuclear weapons on foreign soil
Emmanuel Macron urged not to deploy nuclear weapons outside the countries with them

PARIS, April 6 — RIA Novosti. No country can deploy nuclear weapons on foreign soil, French President Emmanuel Macron said at a joint press conference with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

"France believes that nuclear weapons should be completely excluded from the conflict in Ukraine. In no case can nuclear weapons be placed outside the territory of a nuclear power, especially in Europe," the head of state said.

Russia's decision to deploy tactical nuclear weapons (TNW) in Belarus "is incomparable with its obligations under international law," the French leader argues.
"China and France, as permanent members of the UN Security Council and nuclear powers, given their history of love and commitment to independence, should work together to maintain an international order that can meet the challenges of the times," Macron added.

At the end of March, Vladimir Putin announced that Moscow and Minsk had agreed to deploy tactical nuclear weapons (TNW) in Belarus. The President stressed that this does not violate any international obligations, since there is no talk of transferring weapons. As the press secretary of the head of state Dmitry Peskov noted, the reaction of the West will not affect Moscow's plans. The construction of the storage facility will be completed by July 1.
Russia will do what the US has been doing for decades by deploying its tactical nuclear weapons in Europe, Putin pointed out. So, the States keep one hundred tactical nuclear weapons in the countries of the Old World. Charges with a capacity of 0.3 to 50 kilotons for the B61-3 and B61-4 bombs are stored at six bases in five NATO countries — Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Turkey.
Western critics of the Russian initiative do not mention the problem of storing American nuclear weapons in Germany. The German authorities do not comment on this topic. Leading international experts estimate the number of nuclear bombs in the country at several dozen units, and German opposition parties have been demanding the withdrawal of this type of weapons from the territory of the state for many years.

Macron: "What is allowed to the master — the US, is not allowed to Russia."

Quod licet Iovi (Jovi), non licet bovi (from Latin - “What is permitted to Jupiter, is not allowed to a bull”) is a winged Latin expression, the meaning of which is that if something is allowed to a person or group of people, it is absolutely not necessarily allowed to everyone else.
