Adviser to Mariupol Mayor Andryushchenko informs that the occupiers are continuing to "clean up" Mariupol: "This is a search for 'Nazis.' In the Russian understanding, a Nazi is anyone who loves Ukraine and has not surrendered. This "search" occurs not only in filtration camps, but also in the city. To do this, the occupiers set up several checkpoints, do not hesitate to kill civilians right on the streets, and then take pictures, flaunting "victory."

Deputy Minister of Infrastructure Mustafa Nayem offers the EU a clear solution to the problem of loopholes to circumvent the occupiers' "sanctions on trucks". There are two ways out, he suggests:

1. Cancel all exceptions and apply sanctions not to the country of registration of the vehicle, but to the origin of the capital of transport companies;
2. Return to the idea of our friends from Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia on the complete termination of transport connection with Russia and Bilorus.

"It would be more effective and fair. Otherwise, the logic of imposing such sanctions is compromised. If the condemnation of the atrocities in Bucha, which became the catalyst for the fifth package of sanctions, is sincere, then these semi-measures are not clear."

A little more Johnson from the vagon:

The Prince's motorized infantry disposes of the moskowite (russians), saves the hedgehog. and, making sure that he was all right, let him go in his hedgehog business.

Morality: the animal deserves human treatment and salvation, the moscowits - only contempt and hatred. Never compare animals with moscowits. Animals have a soul, bipedal monsters from the north and east - only the sick psyche and slavish psychology. Make the world beautiful: take care of animals, destroy the enemy!

P.S. We are aware that the sick and perverted Russian propaganda may interpret our photo as "they are preparing combat hedgehogs!" But we already had that, with wild little boars. So everything is according to plan."
