Maybe a pact with Russia beforehand, just for a surprise ..

EDIT: Correction: the quote is not from the newsticker of Focus, but Die Welt. My bad, sorry.

Yesterday or the day before I even red a news saying that Scholz had even prohibited Ukraine to use that money for buying heavy weapons from other states, not just Germany. Cannot say whether its true or not. I mentioned it in a post back then already.

Yea, interesting how he promotes Russians as the defenders of Mariupol from the attacking Ukrainians as he walks around a city Russia leveled..

I saw some minutes of the video up to where this Russian soldier started to shoot against some buildings about 1-150 meters from where they were..What is he shooting at..I tried to see if there was any Ukrainian in the opposite end..Could not see any.

Not saying there weren't any there I just couldn't see any.

It also made me think of Bollywood for some reason

And this news about Turkey is froim Die Welt's live ticker.


With irritating remarks, the Turkish foreign minister criticizes other members of NATO, using narratives from the Kremlin. Meanwhile, SPD co-chair Saskia Esken and Ukrainian Ambassador Andrey Melnyk met on Wednesday. More in the live ticker.

Turkey's foreign minister has accused some other NATO countries of seeking a prolonged war in Ukraine as a way to weaken Russia. "There are countries in NATO that want the war to continue," Foreign Minister Mevlüt Cavusoglu said on Turkish television Wednesday. "Their goal is to weaken Russia." Turkey, mind you, is itself a member of NATO - yet Cavusoglu is spreading a narrative of Russian propaganda here.

Russia and Ukraine had held ceasefire talks in Turkey twice, most recently in late March. The negotiations have since reached an impasse. Turkey is actually considered an ally of Ukraine, which it supplies with combat drones.

I thought I had found it in die welt.de.

Turkey is sitting on two chairs they support both side in the war. Sooner or later they have to show where they stand.

Vladimir Putin orders his troops not to storm the Azovstal steel plant, where the last group of Ukrainian fighters in Mariupol is holding out.

Instead, the president tells them to seal it up so even a "fly" cannot escape, and says Russia has control of the strategic port city.

Some civilians trapped for weeks in the wider south-eastern city have been able to leave, but far fewer than hoped.

In the east of Ukraine, where fighting continues along a 300-mile front, Russia has not had any major breakthroughs, a think-tank says.

Moscow secured "minor gains", including parts of some frontline towns, Institute for the Study of War analysis shows.

Russia Doesn’t Need Trolls This Time:
Plenty of prominent right-wing media figures are pushing out Vladimir Putin’s propaganda for him.
