Nationalists in camouflage uniforms, the main audience of the former president of Ukraine, began to gather near the Kiev court, where they were supposed to consider an appeal on the choice of a measure of restraint for Petro Poroshenko. But there was either zrada or victory. The materials of the case never arrived.
Poroshenko blamed Zelensky for everything: “The President’s Office ordered the Pechora Court not to transfer the documents to the appellate court, to disrupt this court session, because they have not yet picked up dirt on the judges who should make an illegal decision. Is this a European power?! “.
The former president is accused of treason in the case of the purchase of energy resources from the Donetsk and Lugansk republics. Now Yulia Tymoshenko, who once hinted at unification, calls Poroshenko almost a terrorist.
Poroshenko is trying to seize the initiative on the hottest topic. Next week, he promises to personally take the equipment vital for the soldiers to the front. And he immediately admits that the country has nothing to fear: “I emphasize that there are no grounds for panic. We are not in the 14th.”
The issue of an allegedly imminent Russian invasion is one of the few things that the former and current presidents are in complete agreement on. At a press conference for foreign media, Zelensky tells how he asks his Western colleagues to stop, but his don’t listen.
“The feeling from the media is that we are at war, tanks are driving, troops are walking along the roads, mobilization, people are going somewhere. This is not so. We don’t need this panic. economy. After the start of the panic, 12.5 billion was withdrawn from Ukraine, it is very expensive for Ukrainians,” he said. Vladimir Zelensky.
Such rhetoric is not only economically disadvantageous, but also dangerous for Ukraine.
“We need to sit down at the negotiating table, conduct peace negotiations and prevent either hostilities or war. This is the only way out for the President of Ukraine. At the same time, he must act and pursue this line without regard to the West, to the external administration of the United States and Western partners, and guided only by the interests of our country,” Rada deputy Viktor Medvedchuk emphasizes.
Maps of surrounded Ukraine – and on the BBC. There is also a report about the people of Kiev, who, through a special application, look for a mobile bomb shelter on the screen and collect a rescue backpack with buckwheat and Pinocchio cookies.
On the front page of the Financial Times are children from Kiev who “face to face with geopolitical reality” and are forced to study the radius of destruction of bombs in order to know how to hide from them among high-rise buildings.
“There is only one real basis for the West’s behavior in the matter of inflating rhetoric – these are Russia’s demands to take into account the security guarantees of the Russian Federation and the appeal that was sent to the United States a month and a half ago. It cannot be interpreted otherwise. In response to this, hysteria flared up – the invasion of Russian troops in Ukraine, concentration of Russian troops on the border between Russia and Ukraine,” Medvedchuk says.
The head of the country’s Ministry of Defense, meanwhile, is scattered in gratitude to the United States and Britain – another 45 will come from there aircraft with weapons. Intractable Germany, which promised only helmets and repair of the bunker near Odessa, but categorically refused to supply the Armed Forces of Ukraine with lethal weapons, Aleksey Reznikov threatened with the restoration of the Berlin Wall.
“If Germany does not change its position, the federal government will have to deal not with the problem of ORDLO and Crimea, but with the German Democratic Republic,” the Ukrainian defense minister said.
At the Yavorovsky training ground along with the British fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine tested NLAW anti-tank missiles. Artillery exercises began in the Kherson region. And on the line of contact, border guards hastily set up combat posts.
However, the combat capability of the Ukrainian army is an open secret. The same Poroshenko, after the trial, told supporters that the tanks were without shells, there was no diesel fuel, and special forces soldiers were paid less than security guards in a supermarket.
