overview for Ulara

How can you make peace with someone who deliberately disrupts agreements and acts only in his own interest? Peace requires the ability to honor agreements and act in the common interest. How can you make peace with someone who demonizes you? Peace requires respect and goodwill.

IMHO, the EU will have to revoke Hungary's voting rights - and make peace with the next government.

The corrugated paper is cheap, has vertical channels on the inside, and its quantity creates a large area flame. Standard wicks would only produce a small flame with little heat.

As for the Azov battalion - Ruscist propaganda actively exploits racist statements made by Andriy Biletsky in 2006-2010, several years before he founded this battalion. He changed his views and hasn't made a single racist statement since 2014. The Azov battalion included several Jews from the very beginning, so Biletsky isn't an anti-Semite now. And since November 2014, the Azov battalion has a different commander.

So for the Azov battalion, any Nazi leanings are a thing of the distant past: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/04/06/ukraine-military-right-wing-militias/ It's rather Ruscists who tend to project onto others what they hide from themselves.

IMHO, Russians are a mixed bag - both untrained slave mobiks on the frontlines and some shrewd elite specialists behind. A hundred years ago the Russian Empire also fought in such a way.

Their archaic way of fighting is anyway grotesque nowadays, to say the least. They continue to finance the war by selling oil and gas extracted in their Siberian colonies - but their capabilities are noticeably eroding.
