What is known about "cotton" in Bryansk

Already closer to the morning, the governor of the Bryansk region confirmed the information about the fire, but began to claim that "as a result of the drone attack in Bryansk, non-residential buildings caught fire."

Meanwhile, the Russian media and OSTIN analysts write that the drone strike could have targeted the 1060th logistics center of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. However, this information has not been confirmed.

Later, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that it allegedly shot down 70 Ukrainian aircraft-type UAVs, among which more than 30 were moving towards Moscow.

The occupiers traditionally reported that they allegedly shot down all the drones, including 34 over the territory of the Moscow region.

In addition, 14 more were allegedly shot down over Bryansk, seven each over Oryol and Kaluga, six over Kursk and two over Tula regions.

Hungarians receive false information from the authorities regarding Ukraine's accession to the EU

Source:  European truth

The Hungarian government, along with ballots for a "survey" of Hungarians about Ukraine's membership in the EU, has spread its counterarguments, which are based on manipulation and outright lies.

Points of attention

  • The Hungarian government is spreading false arguments and manipulation tactics to create a negative perception of Ukraine's accession to the EU among Hungarians.
  • The counterarguments provided by Budapest lack scientific support and are based on blatant lies, aiming to influence public opinion.
  • Ukraine's adoption of European norms is a requirement for EU accession, debunking claims such as the threat of the Ukrainian mafia infiltrating Europe, as presented by the Hungarian government.

Orban is being manipulated on the issue of Ukraine's accession to the EU

Hungarian government spokesman Zoltan Kovacs announced on March 29 that Hungarians had begun sending out ballots for a "survey" along with an information sheet outlining seven "risks" of Ukraine's accession to the EU from Budapest's perspective.

The first risk is that in the event of Ukraine's membership, Hungary will allegedly lose EU funding, "and all the money will go to Ukraine" (why "all" is not explained).

In addition, Brussels is calling for huge joint borrowing, which indicates that we will all become debtors together due to Ukraine's accession, says the Hungarian government video (which also does not explain what kind of borrowing is involved and how it is related to Ukraine).

Other "risks", according to Hungary, are related to the fact that Ukraine is a huge producer of agricultural products, so after accession "all EU funds will go to Ukrainian farmers", and the European market will be "open to low-quality, genetically modified Ukrainian goods".

At the same time, the Hungarian government ignores the fact that accession to the European Union requires Ukraine to adopt all European norms, including in the field of agriculture, so this statement is a blatant lie.

The Hungarian government spokesman also claims, without evidence, that Ukraine was "the center of drug trafficking and organized crime in Eastern Europe" even "before the war," so "accession to the EU will open the way for the Ukrainian mafia to enter Europe, and therefore Hungary."

Budapest's other arguments are that after Ukraine joins the EU, Ukrainians, as a cheap labor force, will "threaten jobs and pensions" in the European Union.

Ukrainians will also threaten public health because "there is no mandatory vaccination in Ukraine" (in fact, there is mandatory vaccination in Ukraine), and "Ukraine's hasty accession to the EU" will jeopardize the payment of the so-called 13th pension by the Orban government.

Such polls do not actually have legal force, and only a small percentage of Hungarian voters (up to 30%) actually participate in them. At the same time, Orbán's government often refers to the results of such polls as evidence that its policies have public support.

The Biden administration was furious and panicked over the sinking of the cruiser Moskva

Biden was afraid of Putin's reaction

On April 14, 2022, the Ukrainian military unexpectedly sank the missile cruiser "Moskva", the flagship of the Russian fleet. Only now it became known that this event actually shocked and frightened the team of former US President Joe Biden.

Points of attention

  • The Biden administration's concerns over the sinking of the cruiser Moskva reflect the delicate balance of power dynamics and political implications in the ongoing tensions between Russia, Ukraine, and the US.
  • The involvement of key military figures like Valery Zaluzhny and General Mark A. Milley in the history of US-Ukraine relations adds layers to the intricate web of international diplomacy and military strategies.

Biden was afraid of Putin's reaction

As journalists learned, in mid-April 2022, American and Ukrainian naval officers were conducting routine reconnaissance.

That's when they noticed something unexpected on their radar screens.

Then the Americans said, "Oh, this is "Moscow," and the Ukrainians immediately replied, "Oh my God. Thank you very much. Goodbye."

In fact, Ukraine destroyed the Russian flagship without consulting its American allies.

Americans were angry that the Ukrainians had not warned them about this; surprised that Ukraine had missiles capable of reaching the ship; and panicked because the Biden administration had no intention of allowing the Ukrainians to attack such a powerful symbol of Russian power.

Sinking of the cruiser "Moscow"

It is worth noting that in the early years of the war, relations between Ukraine and the United States were also complicated by tense relations between the then Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valery Zaluzhny, and his American counterpart, General Mark A. Milley, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff.
