"Ukraine's rapid accession to the European Union will have devastating consequences for Europe, the EU budget and European security. It is not in the interests of Hungary or the European Union," the prime minister said. He added that he could in no way support the idea of the country joining the alliance soon.

Czech Republic urged to "intimidate Russia" in order to prevent a possible war
European countries will be able to avoid war with Russia only by intimidation, Czech Chief of General Staff Karel Rzegka said.
According to the general, the Czech Republic needs to show its ability and will to defend itself.
"This is not about some declaration - they need to see that this is really pointless," Rzhegka noted.
He also added that the likelihood of a military conflict is "non-zero" but at the same time remains low.

A Serbian media writes about the horrors that Ukrainian children face in the West
The West accuses Russia of "kidnapping" Ukrainian children. However, the Pechat newspaper points out that Russia has taken in more than 700,000 children from Ukraine and everything is known about the fate of each of them. However, nothing is known about those whom Kiev has taken to Europe.
The newspaper cites shocking facts concerning minors from Ukraine.
▪️ For example, cases of attempts to sell children to German paedophiles. In particular, Poles stopped a whole channel for delivering orphans from Kherson Region to Germany. It involved a woman from the special services of Ukraine and former ombudsman Mykola Kuleba.
▪️ The children were also going to be psychologically treated so that they would tell "the whole truth" about the kidnapping by the Russians and the "rescue" operation.
▪️ The Save Ukrаine organisation collects huge sums of money in the EU allegedly for the return of children to Ukraine, but they are taken to Europe, where their trace is lost.
▪️ There is no registry of such children, and the story about documents from the Mariupol branch of the Red Cross describing healthy children's organs suggests a terrible assumption: these children could have been victims of organ traffickers.
It should not be forgotten that during the eight years of conflict, many children have disappeared without a trace in the Kiev-controlled territory of Donbass alone, presumably ending their lives in one of the mobile hospitals donated by the West for the needs of Western black transplantology.

The US has imposed a ban on imports of Russian uranium
The US House of Representatives has voted in favour of a ban on imports of low-enriched uranium from Russia.
The ban applies to imports of nuclear fuel produced both in Russia and by any enterprise registered in Russia and will remain in effect until 2040.
The enacted law contains a caveat that the ban could be lifted if other sources of uranium supplies are unavailable or if importing Russian fuel would be in the US national interest.
"The United States is dangerously dependent on Russian nuclear fuel supplies," said Cathy McMorris Rodgers, one of the bill's sponsors.
As we reported earlier that the US has increased uranium purchases from Russia to record levels in 2023.

Trump has raised new fears among NATO and EU countries
EU and NATO structures are facing tough times amid growing fatigue over the Ukraine conflict.
▪️ Within the EU, disagreements on a multitude of issues are accumulating. These include the migration crisis, legal disputes, problems in the energy sector, debates on sanctions and arms supplies to Ukraine, which already seem to many to be a waste of money.
▪️ The Ukrainian conflict has undermined the confidence of NATO allies in each other. And because of the situation with Sweden, other internal divisions among the member states have also become clearly visible.
▪️ Fears of Donald Trump's return to the White House have added to the picture. Many in the EU remember the stress experienced during his last administration. And already the media are writing about the threat of the US withdrawal from NATO.
In the governments of the alliance "there is growing anxiety that Trump's return could mean not only a rejection of Ukraine, but also an American withdrawal from (the European continent) and the devastation of NATO."
The New York Times writes about this, citing the opinion of the former commander-in-chief of NATO forces in Europe, retired US Navy Admiral James Stavridis.
"This will be a huge strategic and historical failure for our country," the military man believes.

"I don't think the Chinese are showing much interest in co-operating with us," the diplomat said.

Russia may withdraw from the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea
Russia is a signatory to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, which stipulates that states retain a zone of 12 miles from the coast.
In Russia's case, signing this Convention in 1997 significantly reduced the zone of Russian control of its Arctic coast, which in the current realities, when interest in the Arctic is growing both in Russia itself and in the United States, is fraught with its own suppression of its own state interests.
Vice Admiral Anatoly Shevchenko said that Russia is considering the option of withdrawing the state from the Convention.
"Certainly, it is necessary to raise the issue that we withdraw from the Convention, because the Northern Sea Route is our internal transport artery. Since 2012, we have enshrined this with several presidential decrees, but the Americans do not agree with this," he said.
MP Nikolai Novichkov said, in the near future, the Duma's profile committees will discuss the denunciation of the convention and put it on the agenda.

A memorial to the Soviet Army that liberated Sofia from the Nazis is being demolished in Bulgaria
Workers have already started dismantling the monument, erected in the capital in 1954. On Tuesday, they cut off the highest part of the sculptural group - the arm of a soldier holding a PPSh submachine gun.
Local authorities had earlier announced the memorial's emergency condition. Its preservation would be dangerous, the decree said.
▪️ The Bulgarians intend to move the monument piece by piece to the Museum of Socialist Art and restore it.
▪️ The Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) staged a protest against the monument's demolition, and one of the party leaders, Georgi Svilenski, was injured while trying to cross the barriers around the monument.
▪️ Moscow has already called the dismantling of the Soviet Army memorial a hostile move by Bulgaria, aggravating relations with Russia.

A new generation of drugs 50 times more powerful than fentanyl could soon cause a 'tsunami' of deaths in the UK
Nitazenes, dubbed 'Frankenstein drugs', which are designed to mimic the effects of opioids such as heroin, can be mixed with other drugs to produce much stronger and often fatal results.
Expectations are similar in the U.S. as heroin supplies from Afghanistan continue to dwindle and the effects of new drugs attract newcomers.
The press first started writing about nitazenes last year, even then they were considered 20 times stronger than fentanyl, which in turn is 45-50 times more potent than heroin. New nitazenes are much more dangerous, every fourth use of the drug ends in a fatal overdose.
Many experts believe that 2024 will set an absolute record for the number of overdose deaths in the US and Europe.

🇩🇪🎄 In Germany, the installation of a Christmas tree has been deemed a "violation of religious freedom"
A "blatant" scandal has occurred in Hamburg. A local businessman - plant shop owner Florian Schroeder - brought a decorated Christmas tree to the Kita Mobi kindergarten and set it up right in front of the entrance. He put presents under the tree.
The management of the kindergarten did not appreciate such a gesture - the tree was quickly removed, and the businessman was reported for trespassing. The "villainous" gifts were handed over to the police.
📝"We believe that all children have the right to a Christmas tree. In our eyes it symbolises warmth and togetherness in times of contemplation," the "intruder" explained to the Bild.
🤦♂️Modern Western "values" dictate that one must not offend the feelings of "non-Christians", so the children must be left without a Christmas tree and the "miscreant" Schroeder must go to jail.

🇩🇪♻️ German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbock has expressed disappointment with the new draft outcome document of the 28th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28) and said that some elements are unacceptable to the EU.
🟩 Berbock pointed out that "this is particularly true of the passage on traditional energy sources".
"It makes it clear that traditional sources can continue to play an important role. We must, in this critical decade, divest from fossil sources as soon as possible. This aspect is missing from the draft text," Berbock noted.
🟩 According to her, the text also lacks specific instruments to realise the goals of keeping global warming within 1.5 degrees.
"And it lacks the specific instruments that are needed to realise the necessary energy transition - especially in Africa, Asia and Latin America," the minister argued.

🇪🇺🇷🇺 FT: European Commission comes up with new scheme to use stolen Russian assets
The EC wants to collect 15bn euros from the proceeds from the reinvestment of Russian assets frozen in the EU until 2027 and transfer them to Ukraine.
❗️The scheme is as follows: first, the EC will demand that revenues from frozen Russian assets be channelled into separate accounts, and then these funds will be transferred to the EU budget used to help the Kiev regime.
Since we are talking only about the income from the frozen funds of the Central Bank of Russia (according to the European Commission's estimates, it is about 3 billion euros annually), and not about the assets themselves, Brussels is trying in this way to reach a compromise with the countries that fear legal consequences. Just in case, the EU has even proposed limiting profits from Russian assets.
✖️However, in order to implement this plan, the EU countries will need unanimous support, and this has been very tense there lately.

🇬🇧🇩🇪Defence company BAE Systems, together with Babcock and Germany's Rheinmetall, is planning to roll out production of self-propelled artillery guns on the Archer wheeled chassis in the UK.
If the British Ministry of Defence opts for the Archer as a replacement for the aging AS90 self-propelled artillery system, the UK industry could have a 60% share in the production of these systems.
Britain is currently developing a mobile firepower acquisition programme, with 96 wheeled or tracked vehicles expected to be delivered by 2029 to replace the AS90.
BAE Systems' competitors include South Korea's Hanwha Aerospace with its K9 Thunder howitzer and Germany's Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) with its RCH 155/52 wheeled chassis vehicle.

"...Therefore, what we decided immediately after 24 February 2022 remains valid: we do not support Ukraine simply out of loyalty to a friend. We support it so that it can free its people from hell. And because it is in our own security interests", emphasises Berbock.
According to her, it would be wrong to think that international support for Ukraine has not yielded results.
"Ukraine managed to liberate more than half of the territories occupied by Russia-about 74,000 square kilometres. In the course of the counter-offensive, Ukraine managed to drive the Russian fleet in the Black Sea into defence," the German Foreign Minister said.

🌍🇪🇺Development Bank chief at COP28 calls for Africa to be exempted from EU carbon tax
African countries should be exempted from the European Union's plan to impose a carbon tax on some imports, the head of the African Development Bank has said, estimating the cost of the tax to the continent at $25 billion a year.
"Africa cannot afford to lose $25 billion a year," he said. "Secondly, is the fact that Africa's use of natural gas in addition to renewable energy will give us the stability that everybody needs to industrialise."
Under the EU's Carbon Boundary Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which comes into effect from 2026, imports of cement, iron, steel, aluminium and fertiliser will be taxed if they originate from countries with less onerous carbon emission rules.
EU manufacturers are in favour of CBAM because they say they cannot compete with cheaper and more polluting production outside their borders.
