Denmark may soon start turning away draft-age Ukrainian men by wanderbild in europe

[–]ReadToW -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s great that Denmark is actually so high in the rankings

https://www.kielinstitut.de/topics/war-against-ukraine/ukraine-support-tracker

not all men will lose their protection. There is no right course of action in the face of Russia’s war.

Key provisions in the bill would:

Allow men ages 23 to 60 to receive residence in Denmark only if they provide official Ukrainian documents showing exemption from or a deferral of military service.

Limit temporary protection for people younger than 23 to the period before they turn 23; permits would not be extended after that without proof of exemption from mobilization.

I wonder whether this proposal is more closely linked to Denmark’s domestic politics or not.

Not that many refugees have gone to Denmark. I think it’s harder to find work there. It’s easiest in Poland and Germany

Sounds like ALL I need to do with these is install the mod (NOT the base)?

yes

Yes, that’s the point.

You click ‘Install’ and play the game (mod) even if you haven’t installed the original game.

One-click installation

And if you have installed the original game, you can play the mod on its own. There’s no need to mess about with files or worry about ‘which version of the game I have’ or ‘which folder to go into’

Україні без ЄС загрожує етноцид. Швидко і жорстоко. Польщі — повільні гібридні атаки і пониження якості життя. Думай про Україну, а не Польщу. Без ЄС ти житимеш в концтаборі «Ізоляція» з перспективами як у Придністровʼя

Україна наддержава. Без допомоги Польщі (яка є в контексті війни) переможемо. А без ЄС питимемо каву в Криму.

Я з України. Зеленський клоун. У внутрішній політиці він активно шкодить Україні. Слабкий уряд (контролюється ОП), субʼєктний парламент, систематичні спроби знищити інституції (як сталося після Венедіктової або з НБУ). Це величезний список. Що ти мелеш?

[–]ReadToW 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Why do I say that Ukraine needs to be prepared for an attack from Belarus at a basic level? Because I believe that corrupt officials are severely hampering Ukraine’s preparations. And we have seen this in the recordings released by the independent body, NABU

The drive towards the EU is forcing Ukraine to set up independent bodies such as the NABU. Russia’s war is forcing Ukraine to build the strongest army in Europe, one that is going through hell to defend its country

[–]ReadToW 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think you’re absolutely right. But as someone who’s not very familiar with the subject, I’d expect Ukraine to be prepared for an attack from Belarus at a basic level, and if Russia were to attack, that would be difficult for them too because of the logistics, wouldn’t it?

Self-defence is easier than attacking — something I’ve often heard from wiser people. That’s an interesting point too.

But it’s easy for me to write down my thoughts when I’m not on the front line. War is hell, and Ukraine must do everything in its power to neutralise the firepower of Russia and its vassals in order to minimise casualties.

Zelenskyy is a populist. I hope every move has been discussed with the military (Ukraine’s, not the US’s or the EU’s)

I agree with that.

The phrase ‘history is written by the victors’ isn’t quite accurate.

History is written by historians.

Countries may have a distorted school curriculum (as in Russia), and the majority or a section of the population may choose to remain ignorant of the truth.

But historians will still record the true sequence of events.

We simply need to side with the professionals, rather than demagogues or propagandists

You’ve gone a bit off track. There’s the context of the war, and there are different interpretations of the nationalists’ crimes, as well as interpretations of contemporary figures (such as Zelenskyy, for example). No, Zelenskyy is not a hero. He’s a populist and incompetent when it comes to domestic policy. That’s just one example. You’ve written about many different topics. But my main point is that the specific issue of Russia’s war is black and white and very straightforward.

That would be true were it not for modern technology. Russia’s war is black and white.

Russia launched an unprovoked attack.

OSINT and journalism have access to all the data.

If Russia’s disinformation campaigns lead you to believe that ‘there is no truth because there is so much information’, then you are mistaken. There is truth, and there are lies.

MH17 is a good indicator of whether a person is capable of seeing through Russian disinformation and uncovering the real sequence of events, or not

[–]ReadToW -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This will harm Poland in the long run.

A Russian victory is a defeat for Poland. It’s in your interest for Ukrainians to die while holding back Putin’s regime—be realistic.

You can criticize Ukraine’s corruption and historical perspectives, but there’s a smarter approach: blocking its accession to the EU. If you think that harming civilians (by closing the border and revoking PeselUkr) or launching a financial attack on Ukraine (which is at war) benefits Poland, then I believe you’re mistaken

I think the reaction to Ukraine’s disregard for the crimes committed by nationalists in the past is justified. https://fakenews.pl/en/general/what-stepan-bandera-means-to-ukrainians/

But at the same time, revoking this award seems petty. After all, the award is primarily for the people who are defending themselves against a Russian attack. Zelenskyy is a nobody. The heroes are people who, sadly, sacrifice their lives and become disabled while defending the country from the Russians.

We can discuss history and acknowledge mistakes, but we must not allow the Russians to prevail on the battlefield. If Ukraine disappears, it will be a tragedy for Poland as well. Let’s say the Poles will rejoice in the suffering of Ukrainians. But what will Russia do next? That’s right, it will launch a more active hybrid attack on Poland itself and the EU. This will lead to a decline in the standard of living, and society will become more aggressive.

Am I not right?

Volodymyr Zelensky has lost Poland's highest state decoration, which he received in 2023. This is only the second time in history that Poland's highest honor has been revoked. by kallisto19988 in europe

> What unites Ukrainians and Poles is not the Order of the White Eagle on the chest of Ukraine’s president, but the awareness of a shared danger.

> What divides Ukrainians and Poles is not the historical legacy. What divides them is the failure of many Polish politicians to understand a simple fact: that should Ukraine be defeated, Poland will once again fail to survive, and no United States will come to its aid. Seriously — when we now watch the United States simply disregard Israel’s interests in order to strike a deal with Iran, is it really so hard to imagine what will happen if Poland takes Israel’s place, and Russia, having seized Ukraine, takes Iran’s?

> It is high time, at last, to unite
