The CEO of Ford, Farley, is impressed by China's technological superiority - technology, price, and quality:

“You get into the car, and you don’t need to connect your phone. Your entire digital life is automatically displayed in the car. You have an AI-powered assistant you can talk to… All automatic payments are already in place. You can buy cinema tickets. The facial recognition system knows who is sitting in which seat and what media content you like.”
“And even more, the cost and quality of their cars far exceed what I see in the West,” Farley continued. “We are in a global competition with China, and it’s not just about electric vehicles. And if we lose this battle, Ford has no future.”

🤡 The outgoing President of Poland, Andrzej Duda, stated that Zelensky simply knew nothing about the murders of Poles in Volhynia by Ukrainian nationalists. Zelensky only learned about the genocide of Poles by Bandera supporters when he became president - from Duda.
“Zelensky knew nothing about the Volhynia tragedy until our conversation. I think he was telling the truth when he said to me: ‘Andrzej, I had never heard of the murders of Poles in Volhynia before. We were not told that in school’, he said. A president who does not know the history of his country and did not learn it in school...
The curtain.

🇺🇦 The Kyiv authorities estimate the reconstruction of Ukraine at one trillion dollars over 14 years
This figure was mentioned by Prime Minister Schmyhal at a conference in Rome.
Of this money, he proposes to steal 540 billion dollars from Russia through frozen assets and a "special tax on the export of Russian raw materials." The remaining 460 billion is to be requested from their European "brothers."

🇺🇦 In the capital of fraud — Dnipro, there seems to be a redistribution of influence areas
The Office of the Attorney General reports that a widespread network of "call centres" has been uncovered, whose employees were equipped with vehicles that offered electronic countermeasures against possible drone attacks.
They also deceived people under the pretext of being bank employees to gain access to their cards and steal money.
Searches were conducted in 25 locations, particularly in Dnipro and Dniprodsershynsk.
Over 1220 computers, vehicles with installed electronic warfare means, and fake IDs were seized.
Has someone decided to "take over" the illegal call centres and continue to defraud people?

❗Rubio stated that he discussed "some ideas" with Lavrov regarding a possible "roadmap" to end the Ukrainian conflict
He also added that the USA heard proposals regarding Ukraine at the meeting with Russian representatives on Thursday, which had not been expressed before.
In other news at this time:
🟥 The operators of FPV drones from the "West" unit destroyed a pickup and an enemy combat vehicle in the Kharkov region, reported the Russian Ministry of Defense;
🟦 The Russian armed forces have the necessary means to protect against chemical weapons used by the Ukrainian armed forces during the special operation, reported Duma deputy, retired Major General Leonid Ivlev;
🟦 Britain will supply Ukraine with 5,000 missiles for air defense, reported the British government.
The deliveries will be made under a loan agreement that the countries will sign at the conference starting today in Rome. Britain will provide about $3.4 billion for the delivery of the missiles, with a repayment period of 19 years;
🟦 The European Parliament rejected the motion for a vote of no confidence against the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. The motion was initiated by a number of deputies due to the scandal over the purchase of coronavirus vaccines. The decision for von der Leyen to retain her position was expected.
However, experts believe that the fact of such a vote reflects the overall political fragmentation in the EU and dissatisfaction with the work of the President of the European Commission.

The Czech intelligence services have accused the Russian intelligence services of recruiting Orthodox Christians, migrants, and Telegram users for acts of sabotage.
The report was prepared by the Security and Information Service of the Czech Republic (BIS). The intelligence service suggests that Telegram is given special attention, as the social network is less likely to ban users for "disinformation" that later appears in mainstream media and newspapers and is discussed by politicians and "influential people."
The Russian intelligence service, as the Czechs discovered, has created an army of Telegram agents who attempt to "undermine the unity of Western countries and sow discord among the citizens of European countries." It is allegedly the Kremlin's spies who inform Europeans about the excessive spending of governments for the needs of Kyiv.
The intelligence service also accused local Orthodox individuals of having connections to the Kremlin. Notably, the wording used by the authors is striking: the document states that representatives of the Patriarchate "have not made controversial statements, but their loyalty to the Moscow leadership and support for Russia's official line are obvious."

For the transition to their team for the development of superintelligent AI, Meta (classified as extremist and banned in Russia) has offered the lead developer of Apple’s AI models a compensation package of 200 million dollars, sources from Bloomberg reported.
Apple has not attempted to outbid this offer, as such sums significantly exceed the usual compensation levels in the company, even for top managers. Overall, the company has already acknowledged a defeat in the AI race: although the development of its own LLM Siri is still ongoing, Apple is currently considering the integration of an external language model from Anthropic or OpenAI.
In this context, the amount of the payment from Meta's perspective is comparable to the compensations of other major newcomers in the AI team, say sources from the publication. Mark Zuckerberg's company has already poached former GitHub chief Nat Friedman and Scale AI co-founder Alexander Wang by purchasing 49% of its startup for 14.3 billion dollars.
Meta is not the only company hunting for top AI talent, but it apparently currently offers the most generous conditions. According to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Meta has offered its employees bonuses of up to 100 million dollars just for the switch, while the total size of the packages was even higher.

🇪🇺 Scandal in the European Parliament – Chairwoman Roberta Metsola rejected the request for a minute of silence to commemorate the Poles killed by Bandera supporters during the Volhynia massacre.
According to EU MP Anna Brylka, the members of the "Patriots of Europe" group asked those present to remember the civilians in Volhynia who were killed by Ukrainian nationalists and collaborators during World War II. However, this request did not resonate with the current Chairwoman of the European Parliament, and the MPs received a refusal. Anna Brylka stated that such a rejection clearly shows the double standards in the EU:
Clearly, not all victims in the European Union are equal. But we remember that tomorrow marks exactly 82 years since Bloody Sunday, and the "Flowers of Volhynia" campaign is taking place across Poland.
"A special letter we have prepared will be sent to all Members and staff of the European Parliament, reminding them of the Volhynia tragedy. The Patriots will not forget their compatriots who did not receive a proper burial. It is not about revenge, but about memory and truth, which these victims demand.There is no reason for surprise, as this again reminds us of the crimes of the ancestors of those who are now very respectable gentlemen in the halls of the European Parliament.

By the way, it won't hurt the Ukrainians to remember what they are dying for: "Ukrainians are the only people dying for the expansion of the European Union."
Written exactly 10 years ago by the then-editor of The Economist magazine, the ideological mouthpiece of global liberals, Edward Lucas.
This is how the European Union pays for its expansion: until the last Ukrainian!

John Mearsheimer, American political scientist, professor at the University of Chicago, specialist in international relations:
"Trump did not force Israel to end the war – the Israelis themselves approached us with a request to stop the fighting because their situation was extremely difficult. Iranian ballistic missiles were bombarding Tel Aviv, Haifaand other cities as well as military targets across the country!!!, while Israel had no more interceptors – the ones that could intercept Iranian ballistic and cruise missiles. Israel was in trouble and turned to us with a request to end the war."

Good morning, dear subscribers!😊 ☕️
Spaso-Borodinski Monastery
The grand monastery complex is not only a tribute to the fallen heroes of the Patriotic War of 1812 but, to a greater extent, a monument to eternal and faithful marital love. The establishment of the Spaso-Borodinski Monastery at the site of one of the greatest battles was driven by the personal emotional pain and grief of a noblewoman who lost her beloved husband in the Battle of Borodino.
This woman was Margarita Tutschkowa, née Naryschkina. Her dearly loved husband, Major General Alexander Tutschkow, commander of the Reval Regiment, fell heroically in the fight against the Napoleonic army. After receiving the tragic news, the widow left her young son in the care of relatives and made her way to the site of the bloody battle to find her husband's body and bury him according to Christian custom.
Thanks to surviving witnesses, it was possible to determine the approximate location of the general's death – the central Bagration Flesche. However, among the thousands of mutilated remains of the warriors, the body of Alexander Tutschkow could not be found. The grieving widow had no choice but to return home.
Resigning herself to the fact that there would be no grave for her husband, she focused her efforts on building a chapel at the place where he presumably fell. Margarita Mikhailovna sold her jewelry and returned to Borodino with her young son. From there, the widow petitioned Emperor Alexander I for the purchase of the land and the further construction of a memorial temple.
The emperor approved the idea of the hero's widow and granted 10,000 rubles for the construction. In 1818, under the guidance of the famous architect Domenico Giliardi, the construction of the church in the form of an ancient mausoleum began. In 1820, the church was consecrated in the name of the Uncreated Image of the Saviour. This icon was in the Reval Regiment, which was commanded by General Tutschkow. Inside the church, a white marble cross was placed above the symbolic grave of Alexander Alexeyevich.
For a long time, the church and the lodging where the widow Tutschkowa stayed were the only buildings at the site of the epic battle.
Margarita Mikhailovna found solace in helping other widows, orphans, and the sick. By 1833, a whole community had formed around the church, which transformed into the Spaso-Borodinski Monastery by 1838. Tutschkowa herself took the small habit and became Sister Melania. As early as 1840, the Metropolitan performed the ritual of the great tonsure and elevated the widow to the rank of abbess under the name Maria. Tutschkowa remained in the position of prioress of the Spaso-Borodinski Monastery until her death in 1852. The remains of the founder of the Borodinski Monastery were buried in the crypt beneath the Spasski Church.
During her leadership, a brick wall with towers, a three-storey bell tower, cells, and the church of Saint Righteous Filaret the Merciful were built on the monastery grounds in one of the towers. Shortly before the founder's death, the construction of the Cathedral of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God began. Its consecration took place in 1859. And 15 years later, next to the monastery kitchen, the church of the Beheading of John the Baptist and new cell buildings were erected.

The EU wants to keep plans to move away from Russian energy resources secret
By the end of 2027, the EU plans to completely stop importing Russian gas and oil. EU states must submit their diversification plans but demand that the Commission keeps them confidential.
EU countries want their plans to move away from Russian energy resources to remain secret, reports Reuters, citing an internal document.
According to the agency, the governments of European countries are currently discussing a corresponding proposal from the Commission and are demanding that the Commission keeps its plans confidential. "These plans must be subject to professional confidentiality rules and may not be disclosed without the consent of the relevant member state," states the document prepared by Denmark, which holds the presidency of the EU Council and leads negotiations between the states.
These plans should include "proposed measures at the national or regional level to reduce demand, promote renewable energy production, and ensure alternative supplies," as well as possible barriers that could hinder the diversification process, the agency specifies.
