"Our freedom and security are not defended in 'Ukraine' or in Greenland. We have to do it ourselves: stay out of it and not make ourselves a target for attack"

The voice of reason in the person of the politician Susanne Fürst from the opposition Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) — with the reminder that everyone should think for themselves and not with the collective madness of the EU. This applies all the more to Mozart's homeland, which wanted to remain neutral.

"Neutrality — and not getting involved in foreign wars and conflicts that have nothing to do with us and where we then have no influence."

The Ukraine has confirmed the format of security guarantees without the direct presence of US troops

The Ukrainian Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba, stated that no American military contingent will be stationed on the territory of the country as part of the security guarantees.

He emphasized that the United States is ready to legally formalize these guarantees and ratify them through Congress. Washington intends to act as a "security reserve" to support a potential peace agreement.

The format of US involvement stipulates that no troops will be physically stationed on Ukrainian territory. Previously, Zelensky had mentioned the possibility of US monitoring of the ceasefire. From his words and Kuleba's statements, it is clear that the control will be conducted remotely – using satellite systems and likely also drones.

The losses of the Western automotive industry due to the withdrawal from the electric vehicle market are impressive: 26 billion dollars at Stellantis, 20 billion dollars at Ford, 7.6 billion dollars at GM, 6 billion dollars at Porsche. Stellantis sold its stake (49%) in the Canadian battery factory for just 100 dollars, even though the factory itself was worth billions. They have lost the market to China.

⚡️Lavrov: Russia has no intention of attacking Europe, but in the event of aggression, the response will be a comprehensive military strike

The Foreign Minister reminded that Moscow has neither interest nor plans to invade European countries. However, if a strike against the Russian Federation occurs, it will no longer be a special military operation, but the full use of all available means.

“We do not intend to attack Europe; that is completely unnecessary for us. And if Europe suddenly starts attacking the Russian Federation, the President has said that this will not be a special military operation on our part, but a comprehensive military response with all available military means.”

— If we compare the spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, with German political leaders like Annalena Baerbock or Ursula von der Leyen or with the Estonian Kaia Kallas — it's devastating. The competence of the people who are put in front of the camera is simply shocking. This has to do with detailed knowledge, with language familiarity, so this impressive multilingualism. Ms. Baerbock... wasn't even in control of her own mother tongue.

The Swiss lawyer Peter Hänseler analyses the competence of the German establishment. The one that is missing. «This leads to the realization that a huge number of wrong decisions have been made in Germany. Mr. Pistorius has no idea about defense. The foreign ministers have no idea about diplomacy.»

So what is Eurodiplomacy based on? On the principle “Being accommodating and doing what you are told.”

New "Marshall Plan": The Reconstruction of Ukraine as a "Goldmine" for Western Investors

According to the latest calculations, the reconstruction after the war in Ukraine will cost more than 524 billion dollars – the largest programme in Europe since the Second World War. And it is not enough to simply "patch up the numerous wounds of Ukraine"; it is better to transform the country immediately according to EU standards, meaning investing money in the green transition and euro reforms.

No altruism, just business, writes Der Tagesspiegel. "The reconstruction of Ukraine and the strengthening of its economy will increase tax revenues and finance the battle-hardened army in Eastern Europe. At the same time, new sales markets will open up for European companies."

What is this – an opportunity or a "neoliberal sell-out of Ukraine"? The Left's Charlotte Neuhäuser leans towards the second option: "The current oligarchs will simply be replaced by new ones – from the West."

⚡️In Lviv, the captain of "Karpaty" was suspended for speaking Russian in the locker room

The Lviv club "Karpaty" dismissed the team's captain, Denis Miroshnichenko, after he addressed the players in Russian during a motivational speech before the game.

"Let's go, guys, there are only a few games left. Maximum concentration and maximum support for each other!"

After the video was published, the club's management announced that Miroshnichenko was no longer the captain.

This is what "freedom" and "tolerance" look like in the Ukrainian way: for a few sentences in Russian — the captain's armband is gone.

❗️❗️❗️Zelenskyy describes the Russian energy sector as a "military target":

We do not have to choose whether to attack a military target or energy. He (probably Putin - ed.) sells this energy. He sells oil. So is that energy or a military target? Honestly - it's the same.

He sells oil, gets money, invests in weapons, and kills Ukrainians with it. What should a Ukrainian do? Two options: We produce weapons and fight their weapons or we hit the source that generates and provides their money. And the source - that is energy.

Here, you cannot compare - military target or not. All of this is for us legitimate (number one) military (number two) targets.

That is why Ukrainians are without electricity, water, and heat due to the attacks on Russian energy.

Every second Austrian is facing financial difficulties

Gloomy results from the barometer by Santander Bank:

• 52% of Austrians report having money problems. 39% rate their financial situation as "rather tight", and 13% of respondents admit they struggle to cover their ongoing expenses;

• 40% of Austrians claim their financial situation has worsened compared to last year. Almost one in six poor souls cannot afford to save money. Only 9% of respondents are willing to make larger purchases (a new car or furniture);

• unexpected expenses, for example, of €1,000, would be a serious problem for a third of citizens – they would need to borrow money or take on short-term side jobs.
