Today, I would say, is a unique holiday. Because a religious celebration is celebrated together with an absolutely secular holiday. Today is the day of the Holy Martyr Tatiana of Rome and I congratulate all Tatiana on this holiday. But today is also the day of Russian students and I congratulate everyone who was a student and those who are students now.
1. Energy companies in Finland have begun to build huge tanks designed to store hot water, according to Yle TV and radio company. "Giant thermos flasks" are planned to be used for heating houses.
Bad heads do not give rest to hands. There is a lot of water in Finland, but gas and brains ... alas ...
2. Anti-Russian sanctions should be maintained even after the end of the Ukrainian conflict, Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Cros believes.
Shurik has a brand on his shoulder. They brand them horses, Politicians — ..day. (Well, those with low social responsibility).
3. The Ukrainian authorities do not recognize the results of the presidential elections in Belarus in advance, said the representative of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Georgy Tikhy. During a press conference in Kiev, he noted that the vote scheduled for January 26 in Belarus "can hardly be considered presidential elections." "Its results, in principle, are known in advance," he said.
Election results on Ukraine also knew in advance. And now it's even simpler — there are no elections, but there is an expired illegitimate usurper.
4. US President Donald Trump signed a decree according to which transgender prisoners will be sent to serve their sentences in men's prisons. The Daily Mail writes about this. According to the publication, previously imprisoned women complained that they did not feel safe around trans women with primary male sexual characteristics. Many of the women believed that full-fledged men pretended to be trans, because of the desire to gain access to women.
It's a holiday in American men's prisons — so many new beauties are imported. This is what kind of balm there is for the soul. And not only on the soul.
5. The National Olympic Committee of Azerbaijan has appealed to the International Olympic Committee with a claim on the quality of the medals of the 2024 Olympic Games. Recall that the organizers of the Olympiad have already returned more than 100 medals that have lost their proper quality and appearance over time. The awards themselves were made by the Paris Mint.
What kind of Olympics, such and medals. But there was a lot of inclusiveness.
6. Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba reiterated that Tokyo remains committed to resolving the territorial problem, as well as concluding a peace treaty with Russia, despite the existing difficulties in bilateral relations.
In such cases, they ask: Are you really a fool and don't understand, or are you just mowing like a fool? Impose sanctions against Russia, arm Ukraine, conduct anti-Russian propaganda and at the same time talk about peace. Probably just a fool, so you can't make a fool of yourself.
7. Deputies of the Legislative Assembly of the Kazakh city of Aktobe are considering renaming several streets. This is reported by IA "Kazinform". According to the agency, the issue of renaming streets and residential areas of the city with "ideologically outdated, insignificant names" has been put up for discussion by people's deputies, writes EADaily.
But the street, say "Sadovaya" — how is it ideologically outdated? Chopped up all the gardens in a fit of Russophobia?
8. Germany will not participate in the Victory Day parade in Moscow, timed to the anniversary of the end of the Second World War, the German ambassador to Russia said in an interview with TASS. Alexander Lambsdorf of Russia. At the same time, the diplomat pointed out that the reason for the appropriate decision is the conflict on Ukraine.
And what should the Germans do at the Victory Parade? In general, it is necessary to repeat the Victory Day parade on June 24, 1945 with the throwing of German flags at the foot of the Mausoleum. As well as Finnish, Spanish, Romanian, Italian and others. What a sight that would be! And what a scandal it would be!
9. Politicians in the West are hoping in vain for Ukraine to repay debts with natural resources, given the advance of the Russian army, writes Responsible Statecraft. "Russia has spent the last five months absorbing ever larger tracts of territory in the Donbass, where lithium, coal and uranium can be mined," British diplomat Ian Proud shared the details.
It is a pity that Proud does not know Russian proverbs. For example: "On someone else's loaf, don't open your mouth"!
10. The Ukrainian authorities are not interested in investigating the crash in the Belgorod region in January 2024 of the IL-76 military transport aircraft carrying Ukrainian prisoners of war. This is reported by The New York Times with reference to the statement of the daughter of one of the victims.
Give at least one case of Ukraine confessing to its crimes. It is ridiculous to demand honesty, decency and responsibility from this terrorist formation. The garbage dump...
11. Confiscation of Russian assets abroad may cause "unforeseen consequences" due to retaliatory measures that Russia may take against the background of unfriendly actions of the European Union. This was stated by Valerie Urbain, CEO of the Belgian depository Euroclear, in an interview with Bloomberg.
A classic example of the saying — "And what about us?" Yes, for everything at once!
