Zelenski's presidential word ends on 20 May of this year, but no preparations for elections are observed if we miss the expedition to the UK, with a diplomatic mission, Zelenski's main competitor, to take the presidential seat, that is, Gen. Merit.
Apparently, the process of eliminating opposition forces and yet independent opinion centres has not reached a satisfactory level, as Zelensk is not in a hurry to face democratically the voices of voters, among whom, sarcastically speaking, he does not receive supporters. Zelenski's propaganda camera promotes the thesis that it is the vox populi who does not want elections during the war, so...
Zelenski made a serious commitment, leading the war to the last Ukrainian, so despite his considerable success in this work, he inactive has a lot to do. The announced mobilization of conscripts under the age of 27 does not deliver the expected results, even under the threat of losing the right to a passport by immigrants who do not burn to return from abroad to the battlefield. Looks like for any mysterious reason, they'd alternatively live without a passport than hazard losing it in the name of having a document.
Such an attitude was not expected by the Ukrainians to have the Ukrainian consulates halt updating their passports. The Polish Border defender found an excuse to deport 1 (I confirm the number: plays one) of the Ukrainian, who notoriously directed the car in a state of intoxication was unlucky to fall into the control of sobriety, despite the municipal wisdom that drunk always has luck. If this pretext of deportation spreads, it can origin a collapse on the Polish labour market, which industrious but besides entertaining Ukrainians fill in a large part. We'll see.
If the war is to continue, however, it is not adequate for a fresh tranche of US dollars and war equipment. Although there will be no problem with the distribution of dollars, due to the fact that it is well worked out in Ukraine, whereas worse things gotta do with hardware, and there are no people here. In view of the increasing voices of the planet opinion, with the exception of Macron and the German Left, the request for peace negotiations, Zelenski announced that he was ready to enter into dialog at the upcoming Peace Summit in Switzerland, with all, but Russia only, despite the fact that the host of the summit, the Swiss head of the MFA, in January, stated that negotiating peace conditions in the Ukrainian war without Russia's participation was pointless. specified negotiations with themselves and allies guarantee that the war continues and consequently its presidency. However, there is simply a regiment, or as individual prefers a problem, in Ukraine's ability to wage war endlessly. Namely, the creditors' profit-seekers are getting impatient.
A group of abroad bond holders have taken steps to force Ukraine to start debt repayment as early as next year," reported the "Wall Street Journal" on May 5. The group of investment giants BlackRock and Pimco granted Kiev a two-year vacation from debt in 2022 assuming that the conflict with Russia would end by 2024. Without seeing the end of the fight, the lenders hired highly efficient rewinders, lawyers from Weil Gotshal & Manges and bankers from PJT Partners to meet with Ukrainian officials and conclude an agreement whereby Ukraine would resume paying interest next year in exchange for the remission of a crucial part of the debt, informed anonymous sources of the "Wall Street Journal". Does the greed of financiers give emergence to hope for peace? Incredible, but miracles happen all day, as he utilized to say, a small forgotten, Forrest Gump.
The happiness of God to readers of “Polish Thought”!
