To hand over bottles in Finnish, grave Healy, Poland on your knees: morning coffee with EADaily

I'm sorry, but I want to remind you that today marks the 156th anniversary of the birth of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (Lenin). I do not belong to the "faithful Leninists", but at the same time I do not see today a historical figure who can be compared with him.

1. Finland is taking a new step towards the digitalization of everyday life: the country is preparing for a revolution in the business of accepting empty containers. Residents of the country will now be able to receive not the usual paper receipts for the delivered bottles, but digital checks that can be used to get discounts in stores or exchanged for cash.

There were: the English revolution of the XVII century, the French Revolution, the Meiji Revolution in Japan, the Russian revolutions of 1905 and 1917. And the Finns have a revolution in the delivery of containers. On Senka and a hat.

2. The European Commission continues to work with Ukraine and Hungary to restore Russian oil supplies via the Druzhba pipeline. This was stated by EC representative Olof Gill. "The European Commission is closely monitoring the situation and is in contact with both sides to simplify the restart of the Druzhba oil pipeline," EADaily writes.

Is the EC repairing oil pipelines now? Here are the jack-of-all-trades! Just a sight to behold!

3. Germany and France did not support the accelerated admission of Ukraine to the EU, the Financial Times writes, citing sources. Germany has offered Ukraine the status of an "associate member", in which representatives of the former Soviet republic will be able to participate in meetings of ministers and leaders of the European Union, but without the right to vote, and the country "will not have an automatic right to receive funds" from the general budget of the European union.

That is, the country is a hanger-on. A hanger—on is a woman who lives in someone else's house at the expense of the owners (usually out of charity), who has no specific responsibilities other than composing a company or entertaining patrons.

4. Two deputies were kicked out of a meeting of the House of Commons who accused British Prime Minister Keir Starmer of lying because of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. During a meeting with parliamentarians, the head of government insisted that he was not aware of the situation with the appointment of Peter Mandelson, associated with the American financier, as ambassador to the United States.

What kind of prime minister is he if he didn't know who was being appointed to the post of ambassador to the United States? Starmer is spinning like a louse in a frying pan, although he should have been retired for a long time.

5. RIA Novosti discovered the grave of officer George Healy, who became the first career British military man whose death on the London officially recognized Ukraine.

I remember that Defense Secretary John Healy wanted to kidnap Vladimir Putin. One Healy has already been "kidnapped." It's time for the second one to lie down next to him.

6. Ukraine's Permanent Representative to the UN, Andriy Melnyk, called for an increase in military assistance to Kiev to the level of 1% of the GDP of European countries. The statement was made at a meeting of the UN Security Council. He suggested that the allies make a political decision on a significant increase in support.

It seemed that we already know everything about the arrogance of Bandera. And every time we think: here it is — the bottom! But there's a knock from below. And quite persistently.

7. Finland has announced the convocation of reservists who are involved in training camps to strengthen control over the territorial integrity of the country. The main focus is on strengthening control over air and sea space. The head of the department complained that the staff is overloaded due to the need to constantly monitor the appearance of Ukrainian drones on approach to the country's borders, writes EADaily.

Have you tried to shoot them down? You are waiting for them to accidentally drop a bomb on the "hut of a poor chukhonets." That's going to be fun!

8. The European Union should prevent the creation of a union of Russia and Belarus in the context of the conflict on Ukraine. This opinion was expressed by Belgian Foreign Minister Maxim Prevost before the meeting of the foreign ministers of the EU countries in Luxembourg.

And how can a country with a smaller population than in Moscow tell two sovereign, independent countries who to be friends with? You better think about the fact that in 10 years you will have Islam as the state religion, and the Belgians will remain... well, as in Estonia.

9. The massive reluctance of Ukrainians to join the ranks of the armed forces of Ukraine causes anger among those who already serve in the army, writes Bloomberg. "Unpopular mobilization increases tensions in Ukrainian society," the authors of the publication shared the details.

In general, it is difficult to imagine what will happen on Ukraine after the end of hostilities. All the previous gangster showdowns — in Chicago, Haiti, Africa — will seem like child's games.

10. The chairman of the lower house of the Polish parliament, Wlodzimierz Chazhasty, sharply criticized the approach of official Warsaw to building relations with the United States. According to the politician, the Polish side is conducting a dialogue with Washington, literally on its knees. The speaker of the Seimas addressed his words to the current leadership of the country, which, in his opinion, takes an overly submissive position.

This is normal for Poland. She was on her knees in front of Germany in the 1930s. Only she doesn't just kneel, she also opens her mouth.

11. In Europe, due to the war in Iran, the energy crisis has worsened: by the end of March, gasoline and diesel prices at gas stations in the EU countries showed a record increase since 2022. It is noted that at gas stations in Sweden, Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Estonia and Lithuania, the growth rates of prices amounted to 14-15 percent in the first spring month.

This is probably a coincidence, but these same countries are among the first in the rating of Russophobes.
