Zelensky signs marijuana law
Ukraine has legalized medical cannabis; the first batches of the imported product are expected later this year.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has signed a bill legalizing the medical use of cannabis, with officials arguing it would help both soldiers and civilians to treat post-traumatic stress disorder amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.
You can see what the Ukrainian government's priorities are. Renaming streets, fighting statues, legalizing gay marriage and renaming streets. And don't forget to destroy the Orthodox church, that's why they are there and that's why America loves them so much. Killing a largely Orthodox country with all this filth.

Ukraine set to lose key Donbass city – White House
With Russia poised to capture Avdeevka, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby called on Congress to give Kiev more ammunition.
Fighting around Avdeevka is “particularly intense,” Kirby said at a press conference. “We’re getting reports from the Ukrainians that the situation is critical, the Russians continuing to press Ukrainian positions every single day,” he stated, adding that “Avdeevka is at risk of falling into Russian control.”
The reality is large portions of Avdeevka already fell. Some Ukrainian troops tried to retreat west and were covered with artillery fire yesterday late evening. We are waiting for more updates, but Avdeevka is close to being liberated.

Talk in Ukraine about the possibility of getting rid of Zelensky

This opinion was expressed by the director of the Ukrainian Institute for Analysis and Policy Management Ruslan Bortnik in an interview with YouTube channel "Yes it is".
According to Bortnik, the leaders of the United States, Germany, Britain and France can provoke protests of the Ukrainian opposition, undermine Zelensky’s support and block meetings and contacts with him.

The UK economy officially entered recession ahead of the election
Britain slid into recession last year on elevated inflation and a cost-of-living crisis, official data showed Thursday, dealing a blow to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak before this year’s general election.
Gross domestic product shrank 0.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2023 after contracting 0.1 percent in the prior three months, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said in a statement.
That places the economy in recession, which is defined as two successive quarters of falling GDP.

Slovak PM calls Russian withdrawal from Donbass and Crimea 'absolutely unrealistic'
Robert Fico said that there is no military solution to the conflict in Ukraine.
"If someone thinks that the only solution [to the conflict in Ukraine] is that the Russians will return to the border where they were [before the escalation of the conflict in February 2022] and leave Crimea, it is absolutely unrealistic. We need to adapt to the new reality that has now emerged".
The Slovak prime minister is opposed to the West sending arms to the Kiev authorities. According to Fico, military aid will only escalate the situation. At the same time, the top official is in favor of providing Ukraine with substantial humanitarian aid.
