Kiev demanded the "right of the first night": Ukrainian authorities are struggling in a fit of irresistible greed

 Ministry of Energy of Ukraine demands to give Kyiv part of the profits of the world's largest energy companies

By Alexander GRISHIN

The Ukrainian government is experiencing a new attack of irresistible greed. Infrastructure Minister of Ukraine Herman Galushchenko said that large Western energy companies received record profits last year. And now, as honest people, they are obliged to marry, I'm sorry, to share. Of course, not with anyone, but with Square. Because their profits were provided to them by Ukraine.


- Many energy companies are making huge windfall profits from the conflict. We valued it at over $200 billion. They get this money because we fight. I think it would be fair to share this money with Ukraine,” Galushchenko outlined his vision of the situation and explained. - I mean, to help us restore, rebuild the energy sector.

According to experts, Galushchenko spoke about five of the world's leading companies in the energy sector - BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Total and Shell.


The impudence of Kyiv has long gone off scale on the most benign scale of measurements. Moreover, this is not the first time that the Ukrainian authorities have voiced their claims and wishes regarding private Western business. The previous one was at the end of 2022, and then the Western oil and gas giants pretended not to notice those who were riding around shouting "Give me a billion!" at their feet are beggars in stale trousers. But Ukrainians are persistent. And when it comes to money, it is almost impossible to stop it, and the screams cannot be drowned out, even if you turn on the loudest siren.


With the stubbornness of a doomed fanatic, the Ukrainians are pulling the financial blanket over themselves, challenging the West for the right of the first financial night with the world's energy giants, forgetting that this is not at all due to the resistance of Ukraine (by the way, oil and gas pipelines calmly pump black and blue gold through the territory of the Independent ) gas and oil prices began to race, but for the reason that it was the West that decided to fight Russia in this way. And as a result, he overcame himself, delivering, however, to the energy sector not only moral pleasure, but also quite tangible material. So there is no Ukrainian merit in this achievement. If ukry "plowed" in this field, then somewhere in a quiet and secret place or in a parallel universe.


But farmers in half of Europe are already howling from Ukrainian cheap grain. As reported by Reuters, Poland and Romania are negotiating with the European Commission on mechanisms to track Ukrainian grain exports in order to prevent damage to farmers from these countries due to the flow of cheap agricultural products from Ukraine. The issue is so burning that it is dealt with personally by the Prime Minister of Romania Nicolae Chuca and the head of the Polish government Mateusz Morawiecki. Romanian Minister of Agriculture Petre Daya cited the European Commission's assessment that farmers from Poland, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria and Slovakia lost a total of €417 million due to the influx of cheap Ukrainian grain into the markets of these countries. This is the same grain that was supposed to go to the starving countries of Africa and Asia as part of the "grain deal", but ended up in Eastern and Central Europe. And led to the ruin of many Polish farmers. By the way, when Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about such a complex and different from the declared path of Ukrainian grain, in the European Union they either tried to refute his words or tried not to notice. And now they are forced to respond to this threat themselves.


Morawiecki said he had reached an agreement with the leaders of several countries bordering Ukraine to write a letter to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen demanding action be taken.

We demand the use of all regulatory instruments - quotas, tariffs that will limit or block the import of Ukrainian grain to Poland - literally demanded the Polish prime minister.


And why am I saying all this, and even in connection with Galushchenko? It's very simple - doesn't Ukraine want, for example, to compensate for the losses incurred due to its grain and its actions to Polish farmers? At the same time and Romanian. The right word, it would be both neighborly and brotherly, and simply fair. What doesn't want to?


That's it.

Russia’s ‘Geran’ drone swarms CRUSH Ukraine’s defenses – West alarmed by 1,000-UAV blitz

Image
  Russia is “saturating” Ukraine’s air defenses with hundreds of its newest Geran drones, Britain’s The Economist frets. Production growth of these upgraded loitering munitions in Russia (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/50070) could lead to strikes on Ukraine using attack swarms of up to 1,000, the publication claims, citing sources. 💬 “Even if Ukraine manages to stabilize the front lines in the east, the difficulties of protecting the skies will only grow,” the outlet added, forcing air defense units to “ration their interceptors.”  It raised the alarm over Ukraine’s shrinking stock of US-made Patriot PAC-3 missiles – and the not-so-“Ukraine-friendly” stance of the current US administration. Russia has been carrying out strikes, including with Geran-2 UAVs, on key Ukrainian military, air defense, logistics, and aerospace sites.
