Polish protests are not just stopping grain, they are also stopping aid getting to Ukraine.

Industries in war have made a killing.

It’s interesting that Ukrainian state media is more honest than the telegraph.

[definitelyfrank]

Zero mention of Adviivka. That's hilarious.

[janineclemons]

Polish farmers should form a cooperative and buy up the cheap agricultural products. It puts them in a proactive position instead of reactive.

[jesusromo]

So the Polish farmers are influenced by Russian agents.... what a bunch of BS. That happens when the politicians look after their own benefit before looking for their population

[autisticfieldmarshall]

"found dead & Live" Shroedinger's pilot? :D

[barrettzbrowning]

Why in hell are the radios at the fronts not synchronized? That seems crucial & basic. (NYT re Avdiivka) Come on World!

As a Dutch person I find it extremely funny to think of ppl looking to Mark Rutte in reverence or in awe. Like... this is Markie, the "HOIHOI' guy, the guy who went to work on his bicycle, the guy who calls the Netherlands a "gaaf land" ("cool country"). The guy has been actively working in the Netherlands on wanting to "not be a leader", and being as approachable as possible XD

Hell have eternity to expend 500.000 dlls

I'm Brad Pitt and I approve of this program!👍

[galinaarvinte]

Hi, how can we influence the USA politics to approve help for Ukraine? What if millions of people around the world will sign a petition? I will sign it. Millions of good people will! How can we let evil to win?

[ears]

Is Russian training facilities included in its target list?

10:24 Why is it only news casters say these kinds of things. I don’t think about that at all.
