A lot of, an awful lot of Ukrainian males are draft-dodging. If young Ukrainian males don’t want to fight this war, why should Canadians support this war? Ukrainian lawyer Rostislav Kravets was recently interviewed. “More than 100 thousand Ukrainians left military units without permission. This is actually 100 thousand crimes. But no one is addressing this issue.” https://x.com/MyLordBebo/status/1782515373054587241

“Russia has significantly increased its offshore oil exports over the past 11 months. From 8 to 14 April, shipments rose to an average of 3.95 million barrels. And shipments from all major ports - Primorsk, Ust-Luga, Novorossiysk and Kozmino - approached historic highs, writes Bloomberg.
Half of the total volume of oil was sent to China. India and Pakistan also bought commodities. The agency estimates that the gross value of Russian shipments rose to a five-month high - from $1.7 billion to $1.92 billion per week.” t.me/ukraine_watch

Two Ukrainian citizens speak to each other in Ukrainian. One is in the trenches fighting for the Zelensky regime, while the other is smoking and sipping a cold beer, presumably. The exchange gets rude and crude ending in giggles. https://x.com/malcolmdense/status/1782531249250206099

“Another victory for Putin”: Presidential elections in Slovakia confirm that a pro-Russian agenda is spreading across Europe - New York Sun “Pro-Putin” views are spreading across Europe: first they took root in Hungary, where Viktor Orban has been in power for 14 years, but now this camp has also expanded to Slovakia, warns The New York Sun. As the publication’s columnist reminds, in this country in April the presidential elections were won by Peter Pellegrini, an ally of the head of the Slovak government Robert Fico, who has a very “soft” attitude towards Russia. This means that Bratislava will now “consistently sympathize with the Kremlin,” the author states. As the journalist emphasizes, this is hard to wrap your head around - after all, both Hungary and Slovakia just recently spent so much effort to achieve NATO membership. Meanwhile, European elections are just around the corner, and against their backdrop, the Hungarian-Slovak alliance is working to undermine cohesion within the North Atlantic Alliance on the issue of Ukraine, continues the columnist for The New York Sun. The same Fico, even as part of his election campaign, promised that if he wins, Kyiv will no longer receive “a single bullet” from the Slovak authorities - and Pellegrini, who has now become president, warned that in the event of an attack on one of the NATO countries, he will oppose the sending of Slovak troops to protect an ally. It turns out that the person who took the presidential post essentially said that he would not hesitate to violate Article 5 of the NATO Charter, the author explains. Finally, Viktor Orban “caused even more noise” a couple of days ago, saying that the West is just “one step away” from sending troops to Ukraine, and accused Brussels of forming a “military majority.” And “populist and pro-Russian positions” could attract another European country, notes a columnist for The New York Sun. This is at risk in Bulgaria, where the prime minister has resigned and elections are due to take place soon. https://x.com/Sprinterfactory/status/1782505984545501486

Rishi Sunak, the unelected Prime Minister of Britain, announced £500m of extra military funding for Ukraine, bringing total aid this year to £3bn. The assistance will include 1,600 strike and air defense missiles, 4 million rounds of ammunition and an undetermined number of Storm Shadow cruise missiles. Let’s keep the war party going. https://x.com/Sprinterfactory/status/1782712222415794221

Ukrainian males who fled to Canada and elsewhere in the West, who are between the ages 18 to 60, face a new reality; the suspension of all Ukrainian consular services with the exception of issuing documents for return to Ukraine to go to the front and die, as hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have already done. The Foreign Minister of Ukraine, Dmitry Kuleba, said, “How it looks now: a man of military age went abroad, showed his country that the issue of the country’s survival does not concern him and then he wants favours from that same country. If these people think that someone there, far away at the front, gives his life for this country, and someone sits abroad and receives the services of this country, then they are deceived – that’s not how it works.” https://x.com/Sprinterfactory/status/1782711664455847987

The new mobilization law cutting off counsellor services to young males abroad has had the expected results. REFUSENIKS!

To the last Ukrainian: "Poland is ready to help Ukraine in getting military-age male citizens to return and help their home country in fighting in the war against Russia, Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said on Wednesday. The Ukrainian government announced rules on Wednesday under which passports for military-age men can be issued only inside the country instead of foreign diplomatic missions. As a result, men aged between 18 and 59 living abroad will be unable to renew expiring passports or obtain new ones. Other European countries will likely follow suit. Question: what will Canada do? Will we co-operate with the Zelensky regime’s new ‘outreach’ law? Or will Canada aid the resistance of those fighting age men? https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/poland-ready-help-ukraine-get-military-age-men-back-minister-says-2024-04-24/
Poland is not the only country considering how to implement the forced patriation of Ukrainian males of fighting age. Lithuania is also considering helping Ukraine to repatriate men liable for military service, but first they need to work out how to do this.
