THE DAMAGE REGISTER FOR UKRAINE WILL BE OPENED FOR THE SUBMISSION OF APPLICATIONS ON APRIL 2, 2024

 

The UN General Assembly resolution adopted on November 14, 2022 became the prerequisite for the creation of the International Register of Damages Caused by the Russian Federation's Aggression Against Ukraine.

The specified resolution confirmed the responsibility of the Russian Federation for the damage caused to Ukraine as a result of armed aggression, recognized the need to create an international compensation mechanism, and recommended the establishment of an international Register of Damages.

THE UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT CANCELLED OVER HALF A HUNDRED OLD REQUIREMENTS FOR BUSINESS

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine made changes to more than fifty outdated acts and recognized 15 resolutions as having lost their validity. Some of them were adopted back in the times of the Ukrainian SSR. The decision to implement the Action Plan on improving business conditions in Ukraine was adopted by the Government at a meeting on March 29, 2024.

In particular, from a number of resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, requirements to put seals on documents that entrepreneurs submit to state authorities were excluded, if such a requirement is not established by law.

UKRAINE EXPANDS TOOLS FOR COPYRIGHT PROTECTION ON THE INTERNET

 

Opportunities for copyright protection in the Internet space have been expanded. Ukraine has joined a number of countries that will be filling the WIPO ALERT platform to counteract the operation of websites that infringe intellectual property rights. 

On 21 March 2024, the Ministry of Economy adopted an order approving the procedure for the formation and maintenance of a national list of websites that raise concerns about the observance of intellectual property rights.

UP IN KYIV: I HAVE A DREAM

 

During the night, the air alert was announced twice in Ukraine.

From 5 in the morning, my wife and I have been in the bomb shelter of the nearby school.

The bomb shelter is a deep raw basement equipped with chairs and tables. School boards hang on the walls. There are several cots for children.

У вас есть окно на границе?

UP IN KYIV: BOMB SHELTER

 

We went outside and breathed in the frosty air. It was dark, but the street lamps gave a bright light. There was silence and peace.

We walked along the house and crossed the street. Cars were parked on both sides of the street. The glass of the cars was covered with frost. We crossed the bridge over the lake. Ducks crowded like dark balls under the shore. 

We approached the school. Half a dozen people were already standing around the front door. They were mothers with children.

UP IN KYIV: MISSILE ATTACK ON KYIV AT NIGHT

 On the night of March 21, 2024, the Russians attacked Ukraine with 31 missiles. The main direction of the attack was Kyiv.

Missiles: 1. 29 X-101/X-555 cruise missiles from 11 Tu-95MS strategic bombers. 2. Two ballistic/aeroballistic missiles "Iskander-M" (KN-23) / Kh-47M2 "Kinzhal".

As a result of the successful combat work of air defense, all enemy missiles were shot down in the Kyiv region!

P.S. The shelling of Kyiv cost Russia about $390 million.

SOFA EXPERT GEOPOLITICS: SPEAKER JOHNSON’S SABOTAGE AND TRUMP’S GENIUS

 

Speaker Johnson continues to implement the agreements between Putin and Trump. The purpose of the agreements is to block American aid to Ukraine by all means. 

Today Johnson suddenly forgot about the border, the Mexican border. He introduced several new options for helping Ukraine into the media space. 

Thus, a bill that was agreed upon and voted on in the Senate may be postponed. Instead, several new bills of American aid to Ukraine are appearing. These bills will have to go through proper approval and voting in the Senate. Hence the delay in American aid to Ukraine for an indefinite period. Well done, Johnson!

President of Ukraine and Prime Minister of India discussed support for the Peace Formula and development of bilateral relations

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a phone call with Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi.

The Head of State thanked the interlocutor for supporting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, as well as for the humanitarian assistance provided by India to our country.

Putin cannot escape justice for crimes in Ukraine: Int'l Criminal Court head

 

The International Criminal Court's newly elected president has expressed strong conviction that Russian President Vladimir Putin, against whom the Hague-based body issued an arrest warrant last year, will be brought to justice for his war crimes in Ukraine, reports Kyodo News.

Speaking in a recent exclusive interview with Kyodo News, Tomoko Akane quoted a Chinese proverb -- "Heaven's vengeance is slow but sure" -- to indicate that Putin will eventually get what he deserves.

Ukraine: Council and Parliament reach a deal to renew EU’s autonomous trade measures

 The Council presidency and the European Parliament’s negotiators have provisionally agreed to renew the suspension of import duties and quotas on Ukrainian exports to the EU for another year, until 5 June 2025.

This renewal reaffirms the EU’s unwavering political and economic support for Ukraine, after two years of Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified military aggression. At the same time, the EU has decided to reinforce the protection of sensitive agricultural products by beefing up safeguards already included in the current regulation on temporary trade-liberalisation measures, in order to take into account any adverse impact on the market of one or several member states, rather than just on the EU market as a whole, as is the case now. A new automatic safeguard will also be added for certain sensitive products, such as poultry, eggs, sugar, oats, maize, groats and honey.

Supreme Court allows Texas to enforce state deportation law

Supreme Court allows Texas to enforce state deportation law: The Supreme Court on Monday allowed Texas to enforce a controversial law that would allow state law enforcement officials to arrest individuals suspected of entered the United States illegally. Although the court did not provide an explanation for its decision,

REJOICE POLITBURO MEMBERS!

 

Members of the Politburo of the Soviet Union are spinning madly in their graves. They are observing the results of Putin's brilliant geopolitics.

Putin, as an ardent supporter of the restoration of the former USSR, has achieved much in the opposite direction.

SOFA EXPERT GEOPOLITICS: PUTIN'S FIESTA OR THE SUN RISES

 

The presidential elections in Russia brought the expected results. Official landslide victory for Putin. The actions of the opposition were clumsy and infantile in nature. It looked like in Tsarist Russia the serfs came to the manor's house and knelt down. Freedom is not gained by protesting on one's knees.

Intoxicated by victory, Putin looked happy at the meeting with his election staff. This is the pinnacle of his political rule. This is his holiday as an unpunished murderer and liar. Putin's fiesta of psychopathic permissiveness.

SOFA EXPERT GEOPOLITICS: POLYBIUS, UKRAINE, RUSSIA AND KAZAKHSTAN

 

Polybius distinguished two causes of any war: the real cause of the war and the public cause of the war.

We will venture a little further and say that the reasons for the Russian invasion of Ukraine have three levels in their complex.

The first level is the public cause of the war: demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine.

The second level is the intention of the ruling clans of Russia to seize Ukraine and divide its material assets among themselves.

The third level is the struggle for the right to be called the successor of Kyivan Rus’.

In the Kursk and Belgorod regions of the Russian Federation, fighting has been going on for five days between Russian militias and government troops. For five days now, Russian aircraft have been bombing Russian territory with huge bombs. Government tanks demolish the homes of Russian citizens, protecting Russian territory from Russian rebels.

SOFA EXPERT GEOPOLITICS: EXISTENCE, TRANSFIGURATION AND GLORY

 

In the beginning was Obama, and Obama was with Biden, and Obama  was Begins. Surrogate wisdom of Obama gave Crimea to Putin in the hope of appeasing the Kremlin psychopath. Obama hoped to transform Putin's intentions to destroy Ukraine into a local conflict. One more Ukraine, one less Ukraine, right? 

Unfortunately, geopolitics is not playing the saxophone at a country gentleman's club. Moreover, geopolitics is not a game of basketball. Geopolitics requires a strategic vision. Where does the strategic vision come from today's small-town-minded political leaders?

Ukraine: Investors will have access to compensation for the engineering and transport infrastructure they have built

 

Over the past six months, the Government has seen progress in the creation of new industrial parks. This year, the state budget envisages UAH 1 billion for their development. This was stated by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.

At its session on 15 March, the Government decided to launch two more new industrial parks.

EU Artificial Intelligence Act: MEPs adopt landmark law

The regulation, agreed in negotiations with member states in December 2023, was endorsed by MEPs with 523 votes in favour, 46 against and 49 abstentions.

It aims to protect fundamental rights, democracy, the rule of law and environmental sustainability from high-risk AI, while boosting innovation and establishing Europe as a leader in the field. The regulation establishes obligations for AI based on its potential risks and level of impact.

SOFA EXPERT GEOPOLITICS: MIGHTY MACRON

 

Tomorrow, March 14, Macron will make an urgent appeal to the French people regarding the war in Ukraine.

It was finally explained to Macron that Russia was kicking France out of Africa. Hence Macron’s opposition to Russia. In particular, his statements that France could send troops into the territory of Ukraine. In addition, France has already signed agreements with Armenia and Moldova, which directly contradicts the interests of Russia.

It would be nice if someone explained to Macron that Russia has long turned into a proxy of China.

It is important for Putin and China to create as many points of tension and destabilization around the world as possible. Next, stabilization in exchange for territory or resources.

A moveable feast in Ukraine today or Russians invaded Russia!

 

"If you are lucky enough to have lived in Ukraine as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Ukraine is a moveable feast."

It's just a moving holiday today in Ukraine!

The anti-Putin military alliance of the Legion "Freedom of Russia", the Russian Volunteer Corps and the "Siberian Battalion" began a spring liberation campaign from the territory of Ukraine, moving through three regions of Russia.

Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine: EU individual sanctions over territorial integrity prolonged for a further six months

 The Council decided today to prolong the restrictive measures targeting those responsible for undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine for another six months, until 15 September 2024.

The existing restrictive measures provide for travel restrictions for natural persons, the freezing of assets, and a ban on making funds or other economic resources available to the listed individuals and entities. Sanctions will continue to apply to over 2100 individuals and entities, many of which are targeted in response to Russia’s ongoing unjustified and unprovoked military aggression against Ukraine.

The members of the Presidency are elected for a three-year term with immediate effect.

In Trump We Trust? Or The Short Happy Glory of Viktor Orban

 

Putin's lucky messenger Viktor Orban met with Donald Trump in Florida. The Prime Minister of Hungary, a country with a population of 10 million, has risen to previously unattainable heights. Orban was deciding the fate of Ukraine, a country of 40 million people and the largest territory in Europe, with Donald Trump, the former and possibly future US president.

Inflated by the political importance of the moment, Orban hastened to report the results of the meeting. It turns out that all three of them, namely Trump, Putin and Orban, see the same way to end the war in Ukraine. You just need to stop giving money to Ukraine and then the war will end immediately, since Ukraine will not be able to fight on its own. This is what these “modern political leaders'' think.

Vicarious embarrassment or the role of personality

 

Events, speeches and actions of people in modern politics evoke in me Vicarious embarrassment or Spanish shame. This feeling of embarrassment comes from observing the embarrassing actions of congressmen and other American politicians in relation to American aid to Ukraine.

This feeling of embarrassment also comes from watching the Pope call for Ukrainians to take courage and enter into negotiations with Russia under a white flag. We must remind the Pope that Ukrainians have already proven their courage in two years of war. And it wouldn’t hurt to ask the Pope where his courage was when the Russians wiped out the Ukrainian city of Mariupol from the face of the earth.

A Farewell to Arms

 The content of the latest speech by American President Biden, in the context of American support for Ukraine, evokes a strong feeling of déjà vu.

Absolutely correct words, but Ukraine needs the right actions. There are no correct actions at this time.

Judging by the expression on the face of Speaker Johnson, the favorite of all Ukrainians, during Biden’s speech, it is unlikely that such actions will be carried out in the near future.

Flower fever on the banks of the Dnieper or a holiday of spring, beauty and love

 

On March 8, in many cities of Ukraine and especially in Kyiv, you can see many men with bouquets of tulips in their hands. Bouquets can consist not only of tulips. Chrysanthemums or roses can be used, but it doesn’t matter. Although tulips are still preferable.

On this day in Kyiv you can see queues of men buying flowers. Men with bouquets are literally everywhere. They rush to present bouquets to their loved ones, wives, girlfriends, mothers, and colleagues. The roots of this tradition go back to the Soviet Union, when they celebrated the holiday - International Women's Day on March 8th.

All the world's a stage, and all that

 

All the world's a stage, and all the states and people merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one state in its time plays many parts.

Preliminary note. I consider American aid to Ukraine in the war with Russia to be vitally important for Ukraine, as well as European aid as well.

At the same time, when I think about American aid to Ukraine at its current stage, my opinion gradually drifts from the theater of the absurd towards Farce. 

Russian missile strikes near Zelensky’s convoy

Speaker Mike Johnson and My Faith

Speaker Mike Johnson inspires me to feel like a deeply religious person. This king of hypocrisy or Trump’s Gollum put thousands of Ukrainian lives, including children, on one scale, and on the other scale lies Trump’s presidency and Johnson’s personal vanity. Trump can go unpunished, since he is beyond morals and faith, while Johnson never can. It cannot be that this being, who claims to be a Christian and dad, can go unpunished. Envy not the glory of Mike Johnson: for thou knowest not what shall be his end.

Situation in Ukraine: ICC judges issue arrest warrants against Sergei Ivanovich Kobylash and Viktor Nikolayevich Sokolov

 

Today, 5 March 2024, Pre-Trial Chamber II of the International Criminal Court, composed of Judge Rosario Salvatore Aitala, Presiding, Judge Tomoko Akane and Judge Sergio Gerardo Ugalde Godinez (“ICC” or “Court”) issued warrants of arrest for two individuals, Mr Sergei Ivanovich Kobylash and Mr Viktor Nikolayevich Sokolov, in the context of the situation in Ukraine for alleged crimes committed from at least 10 October 2022 until at least 9 March 2023.

INTERNATIONAL REGISTER OF DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE AGGRESSION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION AGAINST UKRAINE

 ‼️The official website of the International Register of Damages Caused by the Aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, which was created by the Resolution of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on the Creation of an Expanded Partial Agreement on the Register of Damages Caused by the Aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, CM/Res(2023)3 of May 12, 2023, has become operational. 

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS OR THE CAPITULATION?

Odesa, Ukraine.

@ Kustovsky

 Russian-inspired calls for a ceasefire on the battlefield of the Russian-Ukrainian war are spreading in the media space. Turkey (Et tu, Erdoğan?) and China, in particular, want peaceful negotiations. The arguments of peace supporters are simple and clear. 

First, the parties cannot achieve more through military means. Secondly, people are dying and the infrastructure of a huge country is being destroyed in front of the whole world. Third, the start of peace negotiations does not mean at all that Ukraine recognizes Russia’s right to the Ukrainian territories occupied by Russia.

USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN DEMINING THE TERRITORY OF UKRAINE

 

Artificial intelligence will help in humanitarian demining of the territory of Ukraine. The Ministry of Economy and the Palantir technology company, which specializes in big data analytics, signed a partnership agreement. The signing of the document took place in London as part of a working visit to Great Britain by the Ukrainian delegation led by the First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine — Minister of Economy Yulia Svyridenko.

"Humanitarian demining is the zero stage of Ukraine's recovery. Currently, 156,000 square kilometers of land are potentially contaminated, and more than 6 million Ukrainians are at risk. That is why the acceleration of humanitarian demining, in particular thanks to cooperation with technology companies such as Palantir, is an opportunity to save people's lives and start the reconstruction of Ukraine faster," said Yuliya Svyridenko during the signing of the document.

Agreement on security cooperation between Ukraine and the Netherlands

 Introduction

Ukraine and the Government of the Netherlands, hereinafter referred to as ‘the Participants’, or ‘Ukraine and the Netherlands’,

Underlining their unwavering commitment to a free, independent, democratic and sovereign Ukraine, within its internationally recognized borders as of 1991, capable of defending itself and deterring future aggression,

Underscoring their commitment to contribute to Ukraine’s ability to defend itself, to resist future coercion, to choose its own future, and to prosper,

Cirque du Soleil on Capital Hill and the new Napoleon - Macron.

 Cirque du Soleil on Capitol Hill continues to stubbornly and shamelessly block aid to Ukraine. Led by Gollum Johnson, this establishment combines the circus arts of election politics with nasty backroom intrigue. Franz Kafka would give a standing ovation.

The courageous Pentagon is looking for ways to transfer $4 billion worth of weapons to Ukraine. There is no way out so far.

On the other side of the ocean, the European political elite finally realized two things. First, Putin is truly a psychopath who threatens WHOLE Europe with invasion and a nuclear strike. Second, the United States can at any time leave Europe and Ukraine at the mercy of Putin.
