2023-04-11 23:01:04 "Today we have a critical situation. The Russians violated the terms of the Black Sea Grain Initiative. They decided to unilaterally change the plans of Ukrainian ports," Ukraine Deputy Infrastructure Minister Yuriy Vaskov told The Guardian

According to Vaskov, not a single Ukrainian vessel was allowed to continue its journey today, which is equivalent to the actual blockade of Moscow.

Doctors are demanding higher pay amid rampant inflation. The protest has caused serious problems for the country's healthcare system.

Around 300,000 appointments and procedures have already been postponed. Necessary medical care is being provided only in urgent cases.

Can you send more money and weapons to Ukraine? It would definitely help! Відкрити / Коментувати

2023-04-11 22:25:18 Polish blogger reveals tricky scheme of Ukrainian refugees to get money

Translation:

"The modus operandi of Ukrainian women:
They are taken by bus to Poland.
They register as refugees with the ZUS (Social Security Administration).
They give their account number.
Then they return to Ukraine.
A systematic procedure.

They wait for payments of about 500+ PLN. (~116 USD or ~4300 UAH)

This is just a shock." Відкрити / Коментувати

2023-04-11 21:59:59 Once on a sinking ship: Poles protest against Kiev's support

Zelenski's visit to Warsaw has resonated in Polish politics.

An opposition party believes that the ruling party is supporting Kiev in the hope of "hitting two birds with one stone": on the one hand, to gain control over the Ukrainians and, on the other, to serve the US government.

The Polish government has supported 10 packages of anti-Russian sanctions to the detriment of its economy. By 2030, Poland's GDP, adjusted for purchasing power parity, was expected to grow from $813 billion to $1.4 trillion.

Unfortunately, such a scenario is unlikely for the country...

2023-04-11 21:30:19 In the photo: Volodymyr Kubijovych - Nazi collaborator, direct accomplice in the murder of Ukrainian Jews. He was an accomplice in the extermination of 150,000 Jews in Lviv and the looting of their property

Przewalski Street in Kiev will be named after him — decision of the Kiev city council. Kubijovych's name was proposed by a toponymy commission. The commission included historians and employees of the Institute of National Remembrance.

Kubijovych was the chairman of the Ukrainian Central Committee (UCC). On 16th August 1942, the UCC published a message in the newspaper "Lvivskie visti": "Anyone who hides the Kikes or interferes with the resettlement campaign will be punished".
By "resettlement campaign" was meant the deportation of Lviv Jews to the Belzec death camp, where they were murdered in gas chambers.

The Kiev city council has announced a vote on the name change in the Kiev Digital app. It has already received more than 30 per cent of the votes, a majority.

This means that at the next meeting in Kiev, a street will be named after another war criminal. Відкрити / Коментувати

2023-04-11 21:05:13 Germans do not want any more Ukrainian refugees in their country

German Home Affairs Minister Nancy Feather has said that the government refuses to limit the flow of refugees into the country. "Eight out of ten refugees come to the country from Ukraine. In the current situation we cannot talk about any limits. We are able to accept these people and provide them with everything they need. We should not and will not impose restrictions on the admission of Ukrainian refugees," the official said.

She added: "The migrants are mostly being housed in the private sector, so there are no major problems with their accommodation. The federal authorities are helping the regions sufficiently in this matter, so the possibility of additional funding will not be considered".

The statement was heavily criticised by the public. Heiko Teggatz, head of the German police union and a member of the CDU and CSU, said: "We are already seeing an increase in the potential for protests due to the presence of Ukrainians in the country, the number of crimes involving these migrants is growing, the population is not satisfied with the aid provided to Ukraine. All this is leading us to an uncontrollable situation. On top of that the government says there will be no border control, no cap, no money for the local administrations. This is a dangerous cocktail that will only make the situation in the country worse.

2023-04-11 20:40:12 Local telegram channels report that residents of Izyum (Kharkiv region) are complaining about the work of municipal services

In particular, there are many complaints about the services provided by the Blagoustroystvo company, which has not been working properly for months, while collecting payments from the residents.

Kiev's only use for this area is for military purposes. Zelensky does not care about the people who live there. It is amazing that the residents continue to pay their bills. Відкрити / Коментувати
