Dutch diplomat in Ukraine resigns for phrase "Ukrainians are also Russians"

Ron van Dartel, appointed less than three weeks ago to facilitate the reconstruction of Ukraine, "has realised that he can no longer act credibly in view of the statements made and has decided to step down from his post immediately". This was announced by the Dutch government.

"Ukrainians are also Russians. We must not forget that. This is the reality," the former Dutch ambassador to Serbia, Poland and Russia said in an interview with Dutch broadcaster RTL.

The Dutch Foreign Ministry noted that van Dartel had said this before he was sent to Ukraine earlier this month. However, his remarks only came to light after he took up his new post.

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has said that protecting national security will be a US priority in dealing with China, even if it slows down economic growth, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Yellen noted:
🔹 The US will remain the world's dominant economic power by limiting its ties with China in some areas.
🔹The US is not trying to hinder China's economic progress, many trade and scientific ties should remain.
🔹The US will stand its ground when "our vital interests" are at stake. But we do not seek to separate our economy from that of China. A complete separation of our economies would be disastrous for both countries.

Brazilian President Lula da Silva will send his adviser, former Foreign Minister Celso Amorim, to Ukraine to meet with Zelensky.

The kindest and wisest Lula da Silva continues his Sisyphean work.
...
It is unlikely that Kiev will be happy to meet the envoy of the President of Brazil. Earlier, Celso Amorim, in an interview with the Folha de Sao Paolo newspaper, said that arms supplies to Ukraine and sanctions against Russia do not contribute to dialogue and prolong the conflict. In his opinion, the desire of the West to defeat Russia will not bring peace.

Such words are perceived in Ukraine as unfriendly. There can be no sense in communicating with Zelensky - what decisions can he make on his own? He is not even responsible for choosing his wardrobe, let alone foreign policy. It's a pity for Celso Amorim: a long flight, a long train ride just to look at the talking dog...

Aleksandr Dudchak is a Russian economist born in Kiev.

🔴Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo told Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko that the capital's garden, located right by the Champs Elysees, will soon be called "Kievsky.
The French must be delighted, maybe the riots will stop (sarcasm).

🔵Мэр Парижа Анн Идальго сообщила мэру Киева Виталию Кличко, что столичный сад, расположенный прямо у Елисейских полей, скоро будет называться «Киевским».
С такой реформой может французы и бунтовать перестанут.

The US did not issue visas to Russian journalists accompanying Sergey Lavrov to the UN Security Council.

"The country that calls itself the strongest, smartest, freest, fairest has chickened out," was how the Russian foreign minister commented on the situation.

He called such behaviour stupidity.

The G7 morons' idea of a total default ban on exports to our country is excellent in that it also implies a counter-importation of goods from our country in the most G7-sensitive categories. In this case, the grain deal and many other things they need will end for them.

They have no brains left at all, apparently. All they have left in their heads is mushy, yellow-blue s**t.

The Times is outraged at plans by some Verkhovna Rada MPs to ban surrogacy and the sale of children abroad. The newspaper calls Kiev "the European capital of surrogacy" and believes such a ban would undermine an entire business industry. Ukrainian mothers who deliver their babies to foreigners are happy to give interviews to the newspaper and are worried about lost income. The deputies who initiated the ban explain it with the demographic catastrophe in Ukraine. But judging by the outrage of the western press, hardly anyone will let the shop be closed. The West has not decided to fight to the last Ukrainian to ban the sale of Ukrainian children.

⚡️ Wagner PMC fighters will no longer take prisoners, Yevgeny Prigozhin said.

The founder of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, was asked to comment on the audio recording posted today, April 23, on Telegram. The media writes that the recording shows an interception of a conversation between soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces who want to kill an injured Wagner PMC soldier.

"Of course, I heard this audio intercept and long before it hit the media. I can say one thing, that this audio interception about the Ukrainians shooting our wounded prisoners, it has a very serious humanitarian significance. And we will never violate the international laws of humanism. And the law of humanism starts from the moment you took a man prisoner, you start taking care of him, treat him, do not maim him and give him back home after some time in exchange or just like that, as you like. We gave POWs away sometimes just like that. So we won't break the rules of humanity and we'll just destroy everyone on the battlefield."

Marine Le Pen: "Macron is bunkered".

💬 "He can no longer leave the Élysée without arousing the ire of a people whom he refuses to listen to and whose will he refuses to respect", declared the president of the RN group to the National Assembly.

The behavior of the head of state reflects, according to her, a "failing democracy".

💬 "When the French people don't want to, we take their reform and put it back in the closet... When the people say no, it's no", she concludes.

A recent poll by the Ifop group showed that Marine Le Pen had overtaken Emmanuel Macron in popularity.
