Kiev should mobilize the entire country instead of the proposed additional 500‚000 people‚ Vitaly Kim argues Ukraine should mobilize its entire population to fight against Russia instead of the 500 thousand recently proposed by President Vladimir Zelensky‚ the governor of the Nikolaev region‚ Vitaliy Kim‚ has said.  Kim’s comments in a TV interview came after Zelensky stated last week that Ukraine’s military command had asked to conscript half a million men over the coming year. The secretary of Ukraine’s parliamentary national security committee‚ Roman Kostenko‚ explained that the mobilization drive is needed to cover casualties and form new units. Kim‚ however‚ argued that conscripting 500‚000 people is “not enough” and that Ukraine needs to attract at least two million volunteers. Or better still‚ the governor suggested‚ Kiev should look to mobilize the country’s entire population of 40 million‚ claiming that the fight against Russia is similar to WWII. In addition‚ Kim suggested that all enterprises in Ukraine should be mobilized and put on a war footing‚ regardless of the impact on profits. “The more we mobilize‚ the faster Putin will surrender‚” the governor said.URGENT!

Zelensky’s proposal to mobilize 500 thousand people has raised eyebrows even in Kiev‚ with Commander-in-Chief Valery Zaluzny stating that he had never requested any specific numbers from Zelensky and has only demanded‚ as always‚ ammunition‚ weapons and human resources. Ukraine’s Finance Minister Sergey Marchenko has also seemingly been baffled by Zelensky’s proposal‚ stating that no concrete plans have yet been submitted to his ministry‚ and that it is unclear where Kiev would can get the money to fund the mobilization of half a million people‚ which would cost an estimate of 500 billion hryvnia ($13.2 billion). However‚ some have suggested that Zelensky’s mobilization announcement may be an attempt to encourage the West to provide additional weapons and funds. According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Nikolay Azarov‚ the Ukrainian leader could use the situation to tell Kiev’s partners: “see‚ we’re gathering an army of half a million. It must be equipped‚ it must be armed. These are huge costs and expenses.” While it is unclear when and how Kiev will conscript 500 thousand men‚ it has already started working on revising its mobilization laws‚ with lawmakers looking to reduce the conscription age from 27 to 25 and introduce electronic military summons. According to Russia’s estimates‚ an estimated 400‚000 Ukrainian troops have been either killed or wounded since the start of the conflict in February 2022‚ including 125‚000 during Kiev’s failed counteroffensive between early June and late November.

"The state has interfered in the primary election by unreasonably restricting the Party’s ability to select its candidates." The Colorado Republican Party filed an appeal with the US Supreme Court challenging the decision by the Colorado Supreme Court to disqualify former President Donald Trump from the state ballot in the upcoming election‚ a court filing revealed. “The state has interfered in the primary election by unreasonably restricting the Party’s ability to select its candidates‚” the court document stated on Wednesday. “As a natural and inevitable result‚ the state has interfered with the Party’s ability to place on the general election ballot the candidate of its choice. And it has done so based on a subjective claim of insurrection the state lacks any constitutional authority to make.” The Colorado Supreme Court recently ruled that Trump is disqualified from the 2024 Republican primary ballot due to his role in the events on January 6 at the US Capitol‚ citing the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution. The amendment restricts people who are engaged in insurrection from holding public office.Save 40% on DNA Force Plus NOW!

The country’s economy would go into “survival” mode if the US and the EU do not provide more financial support‚ its deputy prime minister has said The Ukrainian government could be forced to delay paying pensions and salaries to millions of citizens if the US and the EU do not provide more financial support‚ Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Sviridenko has warned. The country is facing a “huge risk of underfunding of certain social sectors” as it prioritizes defense and debt servicing amid the conflict with Russia‚ Sviridenko‚ who is also the economy minister‚ told the Financial Times on Wednesday. If Kiev does not receive more foreign aid‚ it may be forced to postpone salary payments to 500‚000 civil servants and 1.4 million teachers‚ as well as delay benefits for 10 million pensioners‚ she added. The amount of Western assistance to Ukraine has reduced significantly in recent months. US Republican lawmakers are resisting attempts by the administration of President Joe Biden to push through another $60 billion in aid for Kiev‚ while Hungary has vetoed the EU’s planned four-year‚ €50 billion ($55 billion) aid package for Ukraine. “The support of partners is extremely critical. We need it urgently‚” Sviridenko said‚ estimating that Ukraine would require $37 billion in external assistance next year to function properly.URGENT! Keep Alex Jones in the fight against the NWO!

The country’s economy‚ which according to the IMF saw 4.5% GDP growth this year‚ will be back in “survival” mode without more Western aid‚ she stated. Unnamed Western officials told the FT that Ukraine should be able to sustain itself for a few months by borrowing domestically or through monetary financing by its central bank. However‚ they warned that this could provoke a spike in inflation‚ undermine financial stability‚ and weaken the tax base‚ thus making the country even more dependent on foreign support. Ukraine has to achieve a sustained economic recovery so that those who fled the country after the start of the Russian military operation will return‚ Sviridenko insisted. Unemployment is currently almost 19%‚ although at the same time numerous sectors are suffering labor shortages‚ the deputy prime minister said. Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov suggested on Wednesday that there is “discord” in the West regarding further support for Ukraine‚ considering that funds go “to a regime that uses it with unknown efficiency and for unclear purposes.” The US and the EU are “already well aware of the level of corruption [in Ukraine]. They understand that a large part of this money is simply being stolen‚” he claimed. The shift in the public opinion in the US regarding the issue has been reflected by FT-Michigan Ross poll earlier this month‚ which revealed that 48% of Americans thought that Washington was spending “too much” on helping Kiev.
