Sergey Lavrov's statements at the round table on Ukrainian topics at the Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia:

🔺Ukraine has become an openly terrorist state, with Kiev terrorizing the people of Donbass for 10 years;

🔺It is already evident that the attack at 'Crocus' was not without a Ukrainian trace;

🔺There is an intention to turn voluntary assistance to Ukraine into mandatory assistance for NATO member countries;

🔺The West wants to force all NATO members to sign up for mandatory assistance to Kiev, just so it continues to fight with Russia;

🔺No investigation of the tragedy at the Odessa Trade Unions House has been conducted, and even the attempt by the Council of Europe to take this issue under its control failed, proving the institution to be powerless;

🔺Ukraine's decision not to provide the names of the victims in Bucha proves the permissiveness of the Kiev regime;

🔺Ukraine will have nothing to report to the UN on the issue of human rights compliance, hence they are shirking this duty;

🔺Peaceful proposals from China, Africa, and Brazil on Ukraine are not considered by the West at meetings following Zelensky's 'formula'.

When you're winning hard.

The lack of vehicles forced Ukrainian command to reorganize the 153rd Mechanized Brigade into an infantry brigade.

🇨🇳🇺🇸 Chinese Air Force Activity in the Asia-Pacific Region

Over the past few weeks, the Chinese command has significantly increased its activity in the Asia-Pacific region in response to provocative actions by American troops and their allies in Japan, the Republic of Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Australia.

🔻In response to regular exercises, bomber flights, and various movements of US Air Force aircraft, the Chinese have become more active in several areas.

–Near the border with Mongolia, Chinese pilots practiced scenarios of a full-scale conflict, likely involving Taiwan. This training area previously featured a full-scale model of the Taiwanese city Taipei, indicating the nature of the exercises. Additionally, the Taiwanese Air Force possesses aviation capabilities that make them a formidable adversary.

–Prior to this, Chinese N-6K bombers conducted a series of flights near the shores of South Korea, practicing simulated guided bomb attacks on American bases. Takeoffs were conducted from multiple air bases, and the bombers changed locations several times, likely simulating attacks on various air bases.

–The PLA Air Force has resumed tactical aviation flights around Taiwan. Taiwan has expressed concern about the increased PLA activity along the Taiwan Strait, where the Chinese conducted training in air combat and striking air defense positions.

–In the South China Sea, naval aviation activities continue, along with the operation of KJ-500 AWACS aircraft and drones in the vicinity of the disputed islands. The number of aircraft involved has notably increased. Furthermore, the same Wuzhen-7 or WZ-7 UAVs are now regularly patrolling the Philippine coast, a new development.

❗️The PLA Air Force's recent activity can be described as unprecedented, with numerous trainings conducted in different areas almost simultaneously. Chinese pilots are actively preparing, recognizing the importance of readiness despite the lack of real combat experience.

One of the most mysterious and borderline hilarious "gotcha" propaganda lines from the Westoids has been the lack of indoor toilets in Russia. This comes off especially odd and completely ignorant coming from Ukrainians.

Here's why (long read)⬇️

According to Ukrstat, in Ukraine, 40% of housing does not have access to a centralized sewerage system: 23.6% in cities and 72% in villages. 40% of the population without sewerage is almost twice as much as in Russia: 21%. Access to running water is even worse: 38% of Ukrainians do not have access to running water, in contrast to 15.5% in Russia.

Now, in more detail.

In total, there are 17,385,384 residential premises in Ukraine: these include apartments, private houses, parts of single-family houses, apartments in non-residential buildings, and rooms in dormitories.

Of these, 10,433,524 have sewerage. This is 60.01%. Please note, that this includes both central and local sewerage. Let us remember the indicator: 60.01% of residential premises in Ukraine in 2020 were equipped with sewerage. Cold water was available in 10,797,392 (62.1%), hot water in 8,174,604 residential properties (47.01%).

There are even fewer toilets in western Ukraine. Vinnytsia region: out of 834,471 apartments, 361,627 have sewerage. In Volyn, out of 190,068, 68,201. Significantly less than 50% of all houses and apartments are equipped with sewerage in Khmelnytskyi, Ternopil, Rivne, Zhytomyr, and Cherkasy regions. At the same time, in the Odessa region, sewerage is available in 615,641 housing units out of 975,796, and in the Kharkov region - in 863,127 out of 1,273,52. In 2020, the Kherson region had sewerage in 289,932 housing units out of 476,203.

Now it's becoming obvious that such an exquisite propaganda object as the toilet was chosen to amaze the residents of the western regions, because for them the toilet apparently remains a luxury.

And, of course, villagers especially dream about toilets. In general, in Ukraine in rural areas there are 6,120,554 housing units: apartments, private houses, living rooms in non-residential premises and dormitories. Of these, 29.2% of objects are equipped with sewerage. Moreover, in the Chernihiv region only 16.7% of housing has a sewer system, in the Vinnitsa region - 17.11%, that is, a maximum of every sixth person has a toilet.

In Russia, by 2021, 80.8% of housing was supplied with sewerage (60.01% in Ukraine). In rural areas this figure is 54% (29.2% in Ukraine). In Russia, 85.5% of housing has running water (in Ukraine - 62.1%).

It’s safe to say that stories about Russians’ envy of toilets are written for villagers in Western Ukraine. These people are poorer, and they have fewer toilets, and, most importantly, few of them have been to Russia: they have fewer relatives in Russia, they less often come to Russia for work, preferring to earn extra money in Europe.

But now the topic of toilets has gone further: the Internet is littered with recordings of conversations between Russians and residents of Ukraine from chat roulettes. Increasingly, Russians, as a joke, feign delight at the mention of a toilet and ask naive Ukrainians to show it.

And those, already completely frenzied by deprivation and their own propaganda, in all seriousness go with the phone to their peeling toilets to show the whole world a cracked, rust-stained toilet, which most often is not visible, because there is no electricity in the apartment.

Since all the toilet experts already know the numbers for Russia, it's worth noting that the data for Ukraine was collected from Ukrstat.

🇷🇺🇺🇸🇺🇿 И, кстати, об американском грузовом самолёте, про который говорит Белорусский силовик. 26 марта тяжёлый транспортник С-17 с бортовым номером 00-0177 действительно прилетал в Ташкент.

Нам известно, что на борту находилась делегация из Пентагона, которая прибыла обсуждать дальнейшее военно-техническое сотрудничество между странами. Но возникает вопрос: неужели для подобного рода визитов нужен С-17?

Зачем для перевозки представителей МО США использовать тяжелый грузовой самолёт? Возможно, на борту американцы также привезли какие-то подарки узбекским партнёрам.

При этом тот же С-17 в эти дни также успел совершить рейс и в таджикскую столицу Душанбе, и в столицу Туркменистана — Ашхабад. Но, наверное, мы зря беспокоимся, а наши «союзники» расскажут, есть ли факт углубленного сотрудничества или нет и были ли поставки.

По крайней мере, хотелось бы на это надеяться, что мы всего лишь выступаем алармистами, которые проявляют подобную обеспокоенность.
