Warsaw, Tuesday March 15, 2022 (MTI) -
"Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala, Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansa and Polish Deputy Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski will visit the Ukrainian capital Kiev on Tuesday to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Prime Minister Denis Smihal, the Office of the Prime Minister in Warsaw said.
According to the statement, the politicians are travelling to Kiev on behalf of the European Council, having previously discussed the trip with Charles Michel, President of the European Council, and Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, and informed international society through international organisations, including the UN.
The aim of the visit was to reaffirm the European Union's "unequivocal support for Ukraine's sovereignty and independence" and to present a broad package of support for the Ukrainian state and society, they said.
At a press briefing on Tuesday morning, Michal Dworczyk, head of the Polish Prime Minister's Office, said the four politicians would travel to the Ukrainian capital by train and had already crossed the Polish-Ukrainian border.
Dworczyk said that the trip had been decided in advance at the European Council meeting in Paris last week and that Polish diplomats had informed the heads of NATO and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), as well as the UN.
The visit was later reported by Morawiecki himself on his Facebook page. At such crucial moments for the world, "it is our duty to be where history is being made," he wrote. In the war in Ukraine, "the future of our children is at stake, they deserve to live in a world free from tyranny," the post reads.
"Today it is Georgia, tomorrow Ukraine, the day after tomorrow the Baltic States, and later it could be my country, Poland," the prime minister quoted Lech Kaczynski, the Polish president who died in the Smolensk air disaster in 2010, as saying, "during the Russian attack on Georgia in 2008, he was in Tbilisi on a solidarity visit with the then leaders of the three Baltic States and Ukraine."

Yes, that is "K" as in Kursant/Cadet. If the story behind the photos is true, it means that Russia resorted to sending trainee officers into a full-blown war. If that ain't training on the job, I don't know...
 
Azov says they have killed another Russian general-major in Mariupol where the Russian army is beseiging and shelling the city.

Crazy. Russians are getting the full taste of what happened to the UA in 2014. Seems that only one has learned their lesson.

One of the proceeds of the Ukrainian invasion, Moscow has so far been regularly threatened with ground invasion against NATO members. But now the answer to this is, "Come on, bzmeg, you went home in a sack"

I’m sceptical, as the Ukrainian side is prone to posting BS as much as the Russian one if not more,
Admittedly, the Ukrainians are better in the information war. They have got their lessons learned.

On Tuesday morning, the prime ministers of the three countries in the region, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala and Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansa, will visit Kiev during the day to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to demonstrate Ukraine's independence and independence. . Hvg.hu wondered whether Viktor Orbán had been invited on this trip or whether Orbán was planning to travel to Kiev in the near future, so questions were sent to the Government Information Center and the Prime Minister's press chief, Bertalan Havasi. Havasi responded to the paper, who reportedly wrote: The prime minister knows about the visit, but is not going to Kiev now.

MOSCOW, March 15. /TASS/. Statements about the allegedly ruined Russian economy do not reflect reality, there are indeed difficulties, but "there is a blessing in disguise." This opinion was expressed on Tuesday by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the words of the White House representative Jen Psaki that the United States and its allies allegedly “completely crushed” the Russian economy through sanctions.
ON THIS TOPIC


"You can't say that," Peskov stressed. He acknowledged that "the Russian economy is going through difficulties," but added that this is also "an opportunity for development, for renewal, for achieving greater independence, for setting up new industries, and so on."
"We have a good proverb: "There is no blessing in disguise." We are trying to use the existing difficulties in our interests," the Kremlin spokesman concluded.
On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special military operation in Ukraine in response to an appeal by the leaders of the Donbass republics for help amid escalation from the Ukrainian side. Among the requirements of the Russian Federation are the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine, the neutral and non-nuclear status of this state, the recognition of the Russian ownership of Crimea and the sovereignty of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics. In turn, the US, the EU, the UK, and a number of other states have imposed sanctions against Russia.

In other news, Germany has shut down the public webcams along the Autobahn highway system citing the current challenges to security policy. Apparently there are fears that possible troop movements towards NATO's eastern border may be spied upon by using this kind of video footage.

Edit:
A warning was moreover issued by the German government regarding the use of antivirus products by the Russian Kaspersky company. The Federal Office for Information Security recommends replacing Kaspersky AV software with alternative apps. The reason being that antivirus software and the associated real-time cloud networks use a wide range of authorisations on your local system which includes an encrypted connection to the provider's servers for updates and other routine tasks. The Information Security Office warned that "where doubts exist about the reliability of the producer, antivirus software poses a special threat to an IT infrastructure that needs protection."

This kinda slipped under the radar. Where are now all those guys that claimed this was staged just because one of the pregnant women was an Instagram model/makeup guru?
Do any of them feel maybe a bit uncomfortable? I dont think so....water under the bridge I guess.
What is your point ?
What happened to her is indeed tragic, but what has that got to do her being an instagram model or twitter posts of her at multiple locations ?
Are you disappointed that no one came out challenging authenticity of this sad incident ?

Assaults likely to be carried out by DPR on Adveevka and Marinka today.

Offensive that will also likely include an assault on the city of New York.

Good, moooooooning, Europe,,,
 
Add to this, the Arabs introduce interesting dynamics into this 'war of sanctions', since they're very much still plugged into the system.
So too the Chinese.
And they have deep pockets yet !
They can very well pit Boeing and Airbus against each other - and note that both are equally and quite effortlessly corruptible as well.
So, what do you get from all of this?
Arm twisting, for one.
And as you have correctly observed, Russian plane makers win, so too Chinese and Brazilian ones.
MRO is a huge market segment, and this could very well shift even more away from EU and even US.

I bet most analysts missed the Arab Force in this sanctions war.
...wonder what else they missed.
Not quite, I memntioned one aircraft platform as benefitting. Other than that, it aint much as the development of an airliner is far more expensive than a space program. Without a future market outside of Russia that means it would be an expensive proposition without any benefits.

MROs need expensive tooling and training and if the market is small, it wont be worth it. Even the Chinese and Brazilian planes are very reliant on western tech, they wont sacrifice their gains for Russias imperialist ambitions.

As for the middle east, after seeing the performance of Russian military equipment, I bet most would prefer western tech in the future.

I know you are trying to look at the positive side, but aviation in Russia will stagnate, they will go back to the old ways where they make unique and interesting planes, but nobody will by them.
