    The military in my country, literally, bought,. Golden spoons.
    The corruption happens everywhere, on all scales. It's human nature.
    Out of 5 small business owners that i know, ALL of them, are hiding taxes.

    Had a classmate who won, lets say gold medal at Olympics. Used to be good friends. Met him once, he said ,, Yeah, bought this new bike recently for few hundred bucks '' and i was like ,, It looks way more expensive '' and he was like ,, Yeah cuz it is. I get them cheap, stolen from Norway '' and i was like ,, Okay ... o_O .... ''

    If you started to dig down deep into the budget of each country, everywhere, you will find dirt.

    What are the chances Trump and Putin have already signed a pact to divide Ukraine between them and all this noise in media is to just gaslight Ukraine into looking as bad as possible?

    Sort of like Hitler and Stalin dividing Poland.

    There's only one, BUT,
    - the EU in between.

    And not as divided as the last time.

    Conflicting information on a new version of the mineral "deal".
    Kyiv Independent: “I am not signing something that will be paid by 10 generations of Ukrainians […] For every U.S. dollar, Ukraine must return two.”
    New York Times: “If we are forced and we cannot do without it, then we should probably go for it […] Simply put, it’s a 100 percent loan. I have to repay the principal plus another 100 percent on top.”


    Some new smallish support packages from the Nordic countries in addition to the recent bigger ones:

    Our PM is in Kyiv today in addition to a dozen other European leaders.
