Not a day goes by that Andriy Melnyk, Ukraine's ambassador to Berlin, is not pushing the envelope. He just found out that on May 9th and 10th, the Ukrainian flag cannot be flown at the memorial sites of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany. Everywhere else, yes, even at the "Red City Hall" in Berlin, four Ukrainian flags fly. Of course, Melnyik wants to provoke Russia and on the day of the victory.

"This is a slap in the face to Ukraine and a slap in the face to the Ukrainian people," he writes on his Twitter page. Balsoi is nice, we didn't expect anything else from him, since despite the massive financial and military support of the Germans, he called the German government a Putin network. Of course , maybe only in the Ukrainian language there is no word for gratitude...

Another great favorite of mine is the spokesman of the Ukrainian General Staff, Oleksandr Stupun . The little bald man in field colors, a tactical vest and a Bazi large assault knife tells the story of the exploits of their army that day. It is a fact that they defend themselves hard, but if we were to believe Soptun, then the Russian army would de facto no longer exist.

Zelenskiy also presented his daily production and wanted to drag German Chancellor Olaf Scholz But Scholz said no, but Bärbel Bas, the speaker of the German parliament, celebrated the end of the war in Kiev on Sunday. This is how Berlin resolved the tightrope walk between Moscow and Kiev.

Pyotr Tolstoy , the deputy speaker of the Duma (Russian parliament), spoke harshly to the Western countries that support Ukraine with weapons. Russia is not interested in Boris Johnson or Mario Draghi , and despite the arms deliveries, special operations will end when Moscow wants it to. If he sees fit, the army of the Russian Federation will also go to the Polish border.

Russian-American relations have not been at such a low point since the Cuban Missile Crisis. As reported by American newspapers, the CIA helped the Ukrainians with intelligence to eliminate a dozen Russian generals and sink several warships. Moscow will obviously not forget the targeted liquidations for Biden .

It was embarrassing in the media war that a video appeared on the website of the German liberal Spiegel, where the Ukrainian woman who got out of Azovstal said that they were used as human shields by the soldiers of the Azov regiment. They refused to let them go for many weeks. The video was not shown for a long time, because it would have been inappropriate for Zelenskyi, who was exalted to the heavens.

Russia is united and everyone has been preparing for the May 9 celebration for weeks. In the military parade, the most modern Armata tanks were paraded and eight MIG 29 fighter jets flew in a Z formation over Red Square. Many Russians also stuck a "Z" sticker on their cars, as it is no longer a symbol of a special military operation, but also of patriotism. The letter "Z" is the military symbol of the western wing of the Russian Federation Army (west = zapad), but it has also become a synonym for "za pobedu", i.e. the password for victory. Another frequently seen sign is "V", which is the sign of the Eastern Corps (east = vostok).
