The new head of the British government, Rishi Sunak, continues to make a "vivid" statement.

Retired US Colonel McGregor said that Ukraine will not be able to win

Since 2017, Hungary has vetoed the participation of representatives of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry in all meetings within the framework of the work of the Ukraine—NATO Commission above the level of ambassadors. It was this year that the law "On Education" was adopted in Ukraine, according to which schools and higher educational institutions should gradually switch to full teaching in the Ukrainian language.

The US Navy Command is closely monitoring the expansion of a key contract for the study and development of new equipment and technologies for its future fleet of unmanned surface vehicles.

Many companies in the EU will become unprofitable due to expensive energy resources. They will be forced to either close down or move production to other countries. Where will European industry move to and how many years will it take to deindustrialize the EU?
