Today we honor the memory of border guard Oleg Cherpak.

The guy was born in 2004 in Kyiv region. In 2022, he graduated from an agricultural lyceum. At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the 18-year-old young man joined the ranks of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine. In December 2022, he was appointed as an inspector of the border service - a driver of the border commandant's office.

Sergeant Oleg Cherpak was killed on May 13, 2023 in a close combat with occupiers near the border village of Mokhy in Chernihiv region. He was 19 years old.

The soldier was posthumously awarded the medal "For the Defender of the Homeland".

Forever in line!

Oh! It never happened before and it happened again? And who is to blame for not being ready??? And who is our Supreme Commander-in-Chief, who is responsible for this? And who didn't listen to Zaluzhnyi when he said that full mobilization was necessary to resist the Russian army? And who talked about an offensive in 2024 when Zaluzhnyi said that preparations should be made for defense? And who promised 1 million drones, but instead, brigades received some kind of tears from the state? And who removed Zaluzhnyi? So was all this not preparation for repelling the invaders' offensive? Volodymyr Oleksandrovych, maybe it's time for you to look in the mirror and draw conclusions if you can?

🇳🇱The Netherlands will deploy Patriot air defense systems in Lithuania.

Systems will be in Lithuania for several weeks for training.

We are entering a full-fledged parliamentary crisis just before the new advance of the occupiers. The Verkhovna Rada is a body whose continuous powers are guaranteed by the Constitution during a state of war, but it becomes inactive and discredited. Signs of the destruction of parliamentarism are as follows:

The Verkhovna Rada remained the only state body whose working schedule has not changed since the siege of Kyiv: the meetings are scheduled by the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada with the leadership of the servants when they want. And they cancel the same way.

2) There are no votes in the law. Servants disappear from the hall after 2-3 successful votes and then even obedient partners of power from the former OPZZh do not help.

3) Instead of working - managed from Bankovaya freaks. They write idiotic bills, crawl into other people's streams uninvited, snatch other people's phones - in general, behave like chaos monkeys. This is not so much psychiatry as political discreditation technology parliament in general. As in a well-known TV series - only one should remain in power. And that's what they're working on. It's just the impression of a monkey king, not a warrior-hunter.

4) restriction of any opposition activity: as much as possible, they will not let them go anywhere. Neither to see the real situation on the front, nor to international meetings. Instead of constructive work during the period of greatest danger to the existence of Ukraine - neglect, arrogance, and deafness. It doesn't matter that European Solidarity represents millions of voters and like-minded people. The current government's understanding of democracy is primitive - "we are the majority, we can do anything". They are not mature enough for a different perception, and they don't really want to.

For war time, when it is necessary to work around the clock for defense, as well as for entry into the European Union, the situation is suicidal. On Bankova Street, it seems like self-preservation instinct was cut out. Or did someone guarantee them self-preservation, unlike Ukraine?

Society must strengthen its voice and constantly demand adequacy of actions from the authorities in order to avoid a political crisis in conditions when both institutions and personalities - everyone - should work to support Ukraine. Because the representatives chosen by society do not want to be heard there. (c) Volodymyr Ariev, Member of the Parliament of Ukraine

General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine published the approximate total losses of Russian occupiers.

The Wall Street Journal Russia doubled the import of explosive ingredient with the help of West.

Russia increased the import of explosives necessary for the production of artillery ammunition, including from companies located in the USA and other Western countries, despite sanctions, according to trade operation data.

▪ Russian imports of nitrocellulose - a highly flammable cotton product that plays a key role in the production of gunpowder and rocket fuel - increased by 70% in 2022, and by mid-2023 reached 3,039 tons of product, almost doubling the level of 202.

Defense companies around the world are trying to find ways to obtain nitrocellulose in conditions of scarcity, which has led to rising prices and creating obstacles for production. Nitrocellulose is produced only by a few countries in the world, as its main application is in ammunition, and it is subject to international trade restrictions.

▪ Russia produces little nitrocellulose, the main ingredient of smokeless powder used in artillery, so Russia's ability to acquire it abroad played a decisive role in its confrontation with Ukraine, according to US officials and analysts.

"Nitrocellulose becomes an artillery shell...The majority of deaths on the battlefield and a significant portion of collateral damage to the civilian population are from artillery," says Bradley Martin, head of the Rand analytical center.

▪ Nitrocellulose is also used for civilian purposes, but analysts believe that the increasing imports are intended for military purposes, as the Russian economy has been reoriented to military production.

▪ China increased its supply of nitrocellulose to Russia after the US and EU imposed sanctions banning the export of any kind of military production to Moscow. But companies from the US, Germany, and Taiwan are also among the nitrocellulose producers supplying Russia over the past two years, according to trade data.

▪ Russian importer Analytical Marketing Chemical Group has received about $700,000 worth of nitrocellulose from Taiwan over the past two years. According to information from the company's website, the importer is a constant partner of the Kazan State Powder Plant, which produces a whole range of weapons, according to the company's social media records.

Before the start of the conflict in Ukraine, Turkey provided less than 1% of the Russian nitrocellulose imports. However, by the middle of last year, one Turkish company, Noy Iç Ve Diş Ticaret, supplied almost half of the Russian imports of this product, according to data from the Russian customs, provided by the trade database ImportGenius and studied by The Wall Street Journal.

According to corporate documents, most of the sales of the company Noy, based in Istanbul, were carried out by Russian companies that are registered subcontractors of the government. The first shipments of nitrocellulose to Russia were made by the company Noy within three months after February 2022, and it was through Noy that a significant part of nitrocellulose made by Western allies reached Russia.

German subsidiaries of the New York company International Flavors & Fragrances have sold at least 80 tons of nitrocellulose to the company Noy, which last year shipped the material to Russia. A representative of International Flavors & Fragrances stated that the company was surprised to learn that the supply of nitrocellulose to Russia, which it had suspended in April 2022, continued through a third party.

The Taiwanese company TNC Industrial produced more than 500 tons of connectors, which the company Noy delivered to Russia last year, according to trade data. The company Hagedorn-NC, which has been producing nitrocellulose in the western lowlands of Germany for over a century, produced a similar amount of product over the past two years, delivered by Noy to Russia.

▪ Export of Western companies to Russia is taking place against the backdrop of a global shortage of nitrocellulose, which slows down the production of artillery for Ukraine by NATO countries. Poland, for example, has invested funds in restoring nitrocellulose production to meet the growing demand for artillery - Mykhailo Makaruk, Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier, spokesperson for InformNapalm.

CBS News in the description of Zelensky's interview with reference to the words of the President of Ukraine notes that the Supreme Commander-in-Chief Zelensky says thatUkrainian military are currently not ready to defend against another large Russian offensive, which is expected in the coming months. .

Head of the Armed Forces of Ukraine SIRSKY says he plansnot allow the loss of its territory, exhaust the enemy as much as possible, inflict the greatest possible losses on him, form and prepare reserves for conducting offensive actions .

One says that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are not ready for the Russian offensive, while the other says that he plans to prepare for a counteroffensive. Does anyone else find these statements contradictory? However, I prefer the calm position of the Syrians, and Zelensky's statement smells of hysteria and hype. But the question is, who is closer to the real state of affairs? Only time will tell.

And fifth - the work of the Staff, projects of decisions, control over the implementation of decisions - all this, of course, must be continued. The obvious priority is the defense of our state and the protection of our society.

Having readnew interviewZelensky for the Washington Post. Mmm...

One of his theses sounds like this: The Armed Forces of Ukraine will inevitably retreat if the USA do not provide the necessary military assistance to Kyiv.

Let's say, in my opinion, this interview will not bring us any benefits, both abroad and in Ukraine. I don't see any negatives either. But I don't understand why give an interview that is not beneficial to the country.

Peaceful night 🌙 to all good people
