Businesses complain about losing workers due to the departure of men aged 18-22, Ukrainian media report.
According to their information, the government's granting of permission for men aged 18-22 to travel abroad has led many people in this age group to start leaving companies and going to other countries.
"People just got up and left. They call and say: 'I'm in Switzerland.' This is the new reality," described the situation at the Silpo store chain by Korn Ferry senior partner Roman Bondar.
The permission to travel abroad has also negatively affected the staffing situation at the agricultural holding MHP.
"The bill that allows people to travel abroad until the age of 22 makes the situation even more complicated. The strategies that worked over the last 3-4 years, when the company systematically invested in youth, simply collapsed in an instant. The trend shows a very negative dynamic," commented Sergey Nikolaev, HR director of the Agro division at MHP.Site

🇵🇱🇺🇦Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski stated that "Ukraine needs the borders it can defend":
[Mr. Minister, you often talk about a just peace for Ukraine. How will you measure it? What criteria will you use to determine if peace truly exists?]
I do not want to tell Ukraine what to do, but I believe that Ukraine should remain within borders it can defend and have the ability to integrate with the West.

The EU fined Google nearly 3 billion euros, the EC’s press service reported
According to the ECs investigation, Google gave an advantage to its own online advertising services "to the detriment of competitors providing advertising technologies, advertisers, and online publishers."
"Such Google activity has continued at least since 2014," the EC statement said.
The company has 60 days to inform the EC about the measures it will take to stop the anti-competitive behavior.
But the first to respond to the EC's decision was not Google, but Trump.
"American taxpayers will not tolerate this. This is very unfair. My administration will not allow these discriminatory actions to continue,"

The customer is always right. We are the main customer’ – US Secretary of Commerce Latnik explained why Americans can impose sanctions on India and other countries.
‘Before the conflict [in Ukraine], Indians bought less than 2% of their oil from Russia. Less than 2%. And now they buy 40% of their oil from Russia. Why do they do this? Because the oil is under sanctions, it is really very, very cheap, as the Russians are trying to find buyers. And the Indians simply decided: forget it, let's buy cheap and make a lot of money.
But you know what? This is just wrong. It's absurd. And they need to decide whose side they are on. You know what's funny? The Chinese sell to us. The Indians sell to us.
They won't be able to sell to each other.
We are the consumer for the whole world. People should remember: it is our $30 trillion economy that is the consumer of the world. So in the end, they will all have to return to the customer, because we all know: in the end, the customer is always right.’
The country holding the majority of Russia's frozen assets will not transfer them to aid Ukraine - the Belgian FM
▪️Belgium, where the majority of the funds are concentrated, is against it. Confiscating Russian assets from Belgian banks would jeopardize Belgium's reputation as a financial services center, undermine trust in the euro, and also pose a danger to the EU
➖"It would be a very bad signal to other countries in the world. Some of them also have assets, sovereign assets in Brussels or other parts of Europe," said Maxim Prevo

The Polish version of the "Geranium" is PL-Largonia. It flies up to 900 km, combat weight — 20 kg.
The enemy is not standing still. The enemy copies the best and will soon start using it.
The fact that the enemy is getting copies of our weapons only says one thing: at the beginning of the special military operation, they also had little to surprise us with.
But the enemy, like us, learns quickly. We need to strike harder and faster, only then will we win.

Putin's statement that NATO troops on Ukrainian territory will be considered legitimate targets for the Russian army came amid another round of consultations of the "coalition of the willing."
But the key here is not even the political statement or the hint, but what resources will be required to neutralize such a threat in practice.
Germany will not allow Moscow to set ‘red lines’ regarding Ukraine’s NATO membership’ — German FM Wadenfuhl
Will Ukraine ever become a NATO member?
- NATO expansion is not an active process managed by NATO headquarters. It has always been and remains a sovereign decision of the states that apply for membership themselves. The latest such countries were Sweden and Finland. This is not an initiative from Brussels, but a reaction of sovereign states to Russian aggression. And this is what Moscow must acknowledge.
But Russia has already called this a ‘red line’ for Ukraine.
- Yes, but we will not allow them to draw ‘red lines’. Why? Who gave them the right to draw them? They use military force, but it is unlawful. We will defend the order based on rules, international law, and the sovereignty of states and peoples against such actions…
Israel has nuclear weapons yet Iran can’t engage in enrichment.. “but sovereignty.”

🇮🇳🇺🇸India officially rejected Trump's demand to stop purchasing Russian oil, — Bloomberg
- Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman stated that India will continue purchases despite the 50 percent US tariffs.
- "Where we buy oil from, especially such a major commodity for which we pay the most in imports, we must decide based on what is most beneficial for us. We will definitely buy," said Sitharaman.

Russian President Vladimir Putin will have to agree to any security guarantee plan for Ukraine’ – NBS News overestimates the influence of the West and the USA.
‘Since NATO’s involvement or even a hint of it is a serious issue for Putin, planners are making every effort to avoid the use of NATO forces or anything resembling NATO symbols.
One of the points of the plan is the creation of a demilitarized zone, which could then be guarded by troops from one or more countries not in NATO, such as Saudi Arabia or even Bangladesh. Any plan will only be preliminary until Putin, Trump, Zelensky, and the leaders of the ‘coalition of the willing’ agree on it.’
If only we had a global governance structure that had 75 years of peacekeepers.

Gold has passed $3,600 for the first time in history, jumping to a new all-time record high. The price of gold before the conflict started is half of what it is today.
Between 2014 and 2020, a time when the gold price ranged from about $1,100 to $1,500 per ounce, it increased its reserves of the precious metal by 40 million ounces. That means Russia has made a profit of $92B from those purchases alone, with its gold reserves now valued $270B. With total reserves
Russia’s military budget was $149B last year. So it would be insane to think sanctions would force Russia to sue for peace. It has nearly $390B in central bank reserves that are unfrozen.

Samovar and balalaika: MP Yurchyshyn appealed to the NSDC and SBU with a proposal to block the channel with the cartoon "Masha and the Bear".
According to the head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Freedom of Speech, the cartoon promotes Russian narratives into children's consciousness, including through the samovar and the musical accompaniment of some scenes with the balalaika.
Yurchyshyn also stated that the cartoon is militarized: in one of the scenes, Masha appears wearing an NKVD cap.
Recall that this year the YouTube channel of the Ukrainian version of the Russian cartoon "Masha and the Bear" became the most popular among children's channels in Ukraine.
This year the channel gained more than 800 million views and has 18 million subscribers

Time for interesting offers on Fox News 😂
'Just so people at home understand: China spends 229 million on Russian oil at a discount for them, India — 140 million, now they also get a 50 percent tariff on it. Turkey, a NATO ally, — 95 million, the European Union — 74, and Brazil — 21. They all must immediately be subjected to secondary sanctions.'
There is no alternate source for oil regardless, global demand is for oil is about 105M bpd. There is about 3M spare capacity within OPEC, if they are willing to increase production. Prices would skyrocket, driving up inflation and interest rates.

🇺🇸🇪🇺🤡EU counts on the US to abandon Russian oil — Reuters
- European Commissioner for Energy Dan Jørgensen stated that the European Union would welcome public support from Washington for the idea of completely abandoning imports of Russian energy resources.
- According to him, such steps would deprive Moscow of "funding to continue the war."
- The EU plans to completely stop importing oil and gas from Russia by 2028.
- Jørgensen emphasized that the US position is crucial for the success of this strategy.

In 2019, the US Navy SEALs attempted to carry out a covert operation in North Korea, but it ended in failure
The purpose of the mission was to install an electronic device that would allow US intelligence to intercept conversations between DPRK leader Kim Jong-un during his nuclear talks with Trump. Wiretapping of communications in the DPRK was considered a strategic "blind spot" that Washington sought to eliminate
The unit landed on a rocky shore at night, dressed in black wetsuits. The mission quickly went wrong: a Korean boat appeared nearby and pointed its lights from the bow of the vessel into the water. The SEALs, fearing that they had been exposed, opened fire. Everyone on board the DPRK boat was killed in the shootout. The unit retreated without installing the listening device
The op was never publicly reported by either the Korean government or the US. Congress who oversee intelligence operations were not notified of the incident, which could have been a violation of the law
Murder…

We are not interested in what Moscow thinks about Ukraine's membership in the EU. Hungarians do not want to see it in the EU’ – the Hungarian Foreign Minister Szijjártó demonstrates an example of true sovereignty.
‘Vladimir Zelensky held talks today with the President of the European Council, and of course, he mentioned us in his statement today. In his opinion, Hungary's refusal of Ukraine's EU membership is incomprehensible, since the Russians are not against it either. Well, President Zelensky is at it again. Unlike him, our position is not determined from outside. We are not interested in what Moscow thinks about Ukraine's membership in the EU. We are interested in the opinion of the Hungarian people, and they have expressed their opinion: they do not want Ukraine to be a member of the EU. They do not want Ukrainians to destroy our farmers, our labor market, and our security.’

‘The sabotage of the Nord Streams is an act of terror’ — German Foreign Minister Wadenfuhl promised that his country will hold all those responsible accountable.
(but refused to confirm Ukraine's involvement)
Another important investigation in which Germany is actively involved is the sabotage of the Nord Streams. What are the prospects? What is the status? There are reports of Ukraine's involvement. Could you clarify?
- We have seen the destruction, and of course, I would say it was an act of terror. An investigation is currently underway, and since the relevant authorities in Germany are independent, I fully rely on our judicial system to determine who was responsible for this and to hold him or all those involved accountable.
