Józef Ulma led his family courageously. A devoted father, hardworking and inventive, a mind bursting with ideas.
His home was the first to boast electricity in the village.
Socially active, he was attentive to the affairs of the local community.
His ultimate sacrifice was risking and giving his life for sheltering Jews.

During World War II, the Nazis murdered anyone who hid Jews, and their family. The Ulma family took the risk, and payed the highest price for it.

Their example and courage resonates deeply within the hearts of the Poles, and is an example for the world.

More than a fifth of Russia’s liquefied natural gas reaching Europe is reshipped to other parts of the world, a practice that boosts Moscow’s revenues despite the EU’s efforts to curb them in response to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine— Financial Times.

While contracts for the so-called transshipment of Russian LNG have been banned in the UK and the Netherlands, data from 2023 suggests permitted Russian gas shipments are routinely transferred between tankers in Belgium, France and Spain before being exported to buyers in other continents.

Such ship-to-ship transfers are crucial for Russia as it attempts to make the best use of its “Arctic fleet” of tankers. The transshipment usually takes place between Russian “ice class” tankers that are used to run between the Yamal peninsula and Northwestern Europe and regular LNG tankers that then sail on to other ports, freeing up the Russian "ice-class" vessels to return north.

“Surrender!”: a soldier of the 92nd Special Brigade with the call sign “Olegus”, without a single grenade and with an empty magazine, captured three occupiers

During the battle, the defender came across another orc, but he no longer had any grenades or cartridges in his magazine. Therefore, “Olegus” decided to cheat.

“I pointed the machine gun at him and started shouting: “Surrender, I’ll throw grenades, and you’ll be finished.” When the invaders were disarmed, I started reloading the magazine. One of them noticed this and was very surprised,” he said.

Sergei Ryabkov says Russia may go to war with NATO. BRING IT Sergei girl.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 The White House has named the states that have benefited most financially from military aid to Ukraine.

Pennsylvania received the most - $2.3 billion in spending and investments in weapons and ammunition production. At the same time, three out of eight Republicans from the state voted against the aid.

Arizona received $2.1 billion and Texas $1.4 billion for the production of 155-mm shells and other weapons. Companies from Arkansas and Wisconsin received contracts worth more than $1 billion. Another $18 billion was distributed among companies located in two dozen other states. In addition to earnings, weapons for Ukraine mean jobs for Americans.

Germany is now stopping all Polish cars and trucks in retaliation for the blockage the Polish government is allowing on the Polish Ukrainian border. SEEMS FAIR.

The entire Qatari deal involves one hundred children, mothers and elderly people. 70 have already been agreed upon, Hamas claims that it cannot find the rest of them, hence within two days we are at the limit.

The heads of the CIA and the Mossad together with senior Qatari and Egyptian officials are talking now about a completely new deal: elderly men above 70 and men between 18-70 that Hamas considers as “soldiers or reservists” for which it will ask a much higher price.
The Arabs want to demand the return of ALL abductees in return for a permanent ceasefire.
That would mean - Hamas stays in power in Gaza.
Israel will never agreed to such deal!

It will be under different conditions, in a different reality and under different circumstances.

If the talks will collapse , we can expect a resumption of fighting towards the weekend.

Good morning Resisters. Supposed to warm into the 60s today. No more mornings in the 20s, this week anyway
