🇪🇺🇺🇦 EU to ask explosives manufacturers to prioritize aid to Ukraine - Defense News
EU authorities have proposed a "temporary emergency measure" that would require explosives manufacturers to give priority to orders to produce munitions that are then shipped to Ukraine.
The plan has raised alarm among EU members and explosives manufacturers, who fear that trade secrets could be revealed and competitors would be forced to bail each other out.
Such plans are part of the union's decision to increase production of ammunition, especially 155 mm artillery shells, to help Kiev.
The EU has allocated €1 billion to compensate EU members for the shells they transfer from their stocks, and another €1 billion to fund the joint purchase of more ammunition from the EU and Norway.
Under a third initiative, the EU will finance member states' investments in factories and speed up the issuance of permits for the construction of new facilities to speed up production.
The third initiative also aims to have the EU assume the role of industry arbitrator and mediator, who can ask firms selling raw materials to give priority to companies that produce ammunition (which lack the necessary materials).
But manufacturers are already raising concerns that the EU is becoming too proactive in managing the continent's ammunition business, an EC spokesman said.
EU member states and representatives of military companies have expressed concern that the plan "could require notification and possible violations of trade secrets or confidential information and transfer too much authority to the EU.

Russian losses are not stated, but are less critical to the course of the war - Russia is having no trouble resupplying it's forces with whatever equipment and supplies it requires. The same can not be said of Ukraine/NATO...

The "Steel Wall" stopped the Ukrainian invasion.
A veteran of the Vietnam War, retired American Colonel Dick Black discusses the first results of the Ukrainian counteroffensive.
He calls the Russian defense a "steel wall" against which entire echelons of Western armor are being smashed.
“We just see Bradleys and Leopards burning in dozens of places,” Black wrote on his Twitter.
"Ukrainians are told to fight to the last man, but it is absolutely inhumane to send personnel to certain death," the veteran of the US Armed Forces said.
Black cited statistics according to which, since the beginning of the counteroffensive, in just a week, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have lost more than 7,000 people, 160 tanks and 360 armored vehicles. However, "no convincing result has been achieved."

🇪🇺🇱🇷🇬🇧 NATO considers deploying up to 300,000 troops on the border with Russia.
The last time the US had 300,000 troops in Europe was in 1989.
In the near future, the US can expect additional commitments at European troop levels, especially in Poland, Hungary and Romania.

Russian ambassador to the USA Anatoliy Antonov on Blinken's statement that "Russia will have to pay for Ukraine's reconstruction":
The US administration is fully responsible for what is happening in Ukraine. Therefore it is up to the US to rebuild the country. If it is still possible to pay for the homes destroyed by U.S. weapons, how will Washington pay for the lives of innocent people? How is the United States going to pay back the Ukrainians whom it is driving into reckless head-on assaults in today's so-called counter-offensive?

The State Duma wants to radically address the issue of paedophilia in Russia
MPs from the LDPR have prepared a bill on chemical castration of paedophiles.
The group is due to submit a draft law on the drug-induced methods of sexual libido suppression for paedophiles to the government for comment on Monday. It would provide for hormonal drugs to be administered to convicted sex offenders six months before their release. The need for a repeat procedure would have to be determined by a special expert.
I am personally in favour of physical castration of paedophiles rather than chemical castration. And I don't think I'm the only one in favour of it.

❗️US urges Taliban to produce heroin
US authorities have condemned the Taliban's ban on opium cultivation in Afghanistan. To justify this, to say the least, peculiar position, the US cited the arguments of the Institute of Peace:
— the enormous financial losses would make drug manufacturers poorer
— the ban will not defeat drug addiction
— wheat is less profitable than opium, so planting the crop is not profitable
— as the price of heroin rises in the EU, addicts will suffer
By this logic, we should allow contract killers to work, because now they have to break the law

"In recent years, the largest numbers of refugees have come from three countries: Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. Three countries where the US and its allies fought brutal wars. In 2022, Ukraine joined them."
Told in an interview with Spiegel German politician Sarah Wagenknecht.
Sara also reminded about favorite methods of the Stars and Stripes: permanent harsh economic sanctions and, for example, illegal occupation - as in the case of Syrian oil fields... And all in violation of the international law.
Bottom line: the main cause of the migration crisis and beyond is right there on the map. So maybe it is time to start living with your own wits?
Alas, Wagenknecht only waited for another "Flagship of Moscow" branding from the ruling elite of Germany.
