The CEO of defense concern Rheinmetall stated that a decision regarding the construction of the Rheinmetall tank plant in Ukraine will be made within two months. The plans to produce Panther battle tanks in Ukraine have already been submitted to the relevant ministries, with the project estimated at 200 million euros. The plant is expected to be able to produce up to 400 tanks per year.

"Thousands of tonnes of plastic are added to fertilisers, to prevent them from caking; or to delay the release of the nutrients they contain, ensuring that they seep into the soil slowly, matching the demands of the crop. Fertiliser pellets are coated with plastic films, some of which are known to be toxic, all of which disintegrate into microplastics. It is almost unbelievable that, in the 21st Century, we deliberately contaminate agricultural soils with persistent and cumulative pollutants."
In Kyiv, police rescued a dog named Babanich from its cruel owner. The offender had not taken the dog outside for walks and had been starving it. The neighbors had been doing their best to feed the animal, but the owner would douse it with vodka to make it less annoying and less whining. When the police arrived at the apartment, they found no food or other supplies for the puppy, not to mention dishes or other items for it. The dog is now living with the police officer who took part in its rescue.
The police in Kyiv have detained an arms dealer in Boryspil. The 38-year-old suspect was found to be selling explosive items illegally.

18/21 Intersectionally, we must recognize the unholy relationships binding #WhiteSupremacy, #ChristianNationalism, #misogyny, #homophobia, ableism...
#WomensRights and #HealthRights since the take-down of #RoevWade, a conservative Supreme Court, toxic masculinity's insatiable mania for controlling women's bodies and the bodies of others...

1/21 #WhiteSupremacy is not passive; it is proactive, violent, and pathologically relentless.
I don't know who created the attached image but, in researching them, I discovered others that were not represented.
As we look more closely at a few specific events, we will keenly recognize some common threads, but I'd like to start with one that is not depicted in the image, but is really the best place to start - the #ConfederateStatesofAmerica and the American #CivilWar!

Polish President Duda has announced that Poland will be transferring the first four Mig-29 aircraft to Ukraine in the near future.
In an interview with Voice of America, retired Lieutenant Colonel Dan Hampton, one of the best pilots of the US Air Force, stated that there are enough retired American pilots willing to defend Ukraine's skies, and he even offered to go himself. He urged the governments of Ukraine and the United States to consider the possibility of such an action. He pointed out that the Soviet Union once sent its pilots to fight against the Americans in the skies over Vietnam, and now even the Russian PMC Wagner receives aircraft from the Russian Defense Ministry, piloted by retired officers who signed contracts with Prigozhin. Hampton suggested that the same could be done in reverse, and that many retired officers would be willing to take an F-16 to defend Ukraine. He believes that this interview on Voice of America is a small announcement to the Russians, and a test of the information space.
Rest in Peace
A renowned Ukrainian historian, archaeologist, and local historian, Yuriy Kovalenko, was killed while fighting for Ukraine's independence. This tragic news was reported by the press service of Shevchenko University, where Yuriy had graduated. He was 56 years old and had worked at the Hlukhiv National Reserve, taking part in numerous archaeological expeditions, including exploring the ruins of Baturyn, which had been destroyed by Moscow invaders in 1708 on the orders of Peter the Great. Yuriy was the one who discovered the location of the main church of the Hetmans capital, the Cathedral of the Life-Giving Trinity, in the northern part of the former fortress.
He was the author of more than 70 scientific articles and the head of the research department of the Hlukhiv Nature Reserve. In 2021, he had defended his dissertation and received his PhD in History. At that time, he was already serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
May his memory live on forever! Heroes never die... 🕯
