Russia changes position on Ukraine’s EU membership bid
Moscow’s view on the accession of Ukraine into EU is now aligned to its position on the country joining NATO
Russia has altered its stance on Ukraine’s prospects of EU membership, Moscow's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Dmitry Polyanskiy, has revealed. Such a goal now cannot be a part of any peace deal with Kiev, the diplomat told Unherd News in an interview on Thursday.
Previously, Moscow was not concerned about the prospects of Ukraine eventually joining the organisation, he indicated, but the position has since shifted.
Polyanskiy explained that the catalyst was Brussels' behavior since Russia launched its offensive, in February. Moscow feels that the EU has become completely aligned with the US-led NATO.
'Finland Will Be A NATO Backwater': Russia Threatens "Military & Technical" Measures If It Enters
A Kremlin spokesman earlier in the day warned that Finland joining NATO would "definitely" be a threat that would trigger "retaliatory steps" - but stopped short of identifying specific possible courses of action. "NATO is moving toward us. That’s of course why all of this will warrant a special analysis and the development of necessary measures needed to balance the situation and guarantee our security,” the initial Kremlin response stated.
Later in the day Thursday - a number of hours after Finland's president Sauli Niinisto and Prime Minister Sanna Marin announced the country will apply for NATO membership "without delay" - Russian Ambassador to the EU Vladimir Chizhov elaborated on Moscow's likely response in an interview with Sky News.
European Sanctions Blown To Bits: Draghi Says "Most Gas Importers" Have Opened Ruble Accounts With Gazprom
Three weeks ago we reported that when faced with the actual, brutal consequences of its anti-Russian virtue signaling and harsh language, Europe's fake united front promptly cracked crack as several European gas buyers quietly paid for supplies in rubles as Russia had demanded - in breach of Brussels sanctions - and we predicted that soon virtually everyone in Europe would follow in their footsteps and similarly bypass EU sanctions. Moments ago, one of the most powerful people in Europe - former Goldman partner and ECB head - Mario Draghi, confirmed just that.

Time running out to stop Biden’s plot to secretly undermine U.S. national sovereignty: But here’s one thing you can do now
The fact that the European Union has the Digital Services Act and the U.K. has proposed an Online Safety Bill are among the latest evidence that it was not mere coincidence that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security recently decided to create a Disinformation Governance Board.
This is all tied in together, along with the sneaky ploy by the Biden administration to create an all-powerful United Nations World Health Organization, which we were among the first to report back on April 24.
The idea, directed by the billionaire backers of the World Economic Forum, is to crack down on free speech at the very same time they are setting up a noose to hang around the necks of sovereign nations.
DIESEL SHORTAGES ARE NOW “WIDESPREAD”
Diesel shortages have become apparent to those who utilize the fuel and many are calling those shortages “widespread.” This is going to have an effect on everything, from the food supply to the cost of goods and services going forward.
Global stocks of refined petroleum products have fallen to critically low levels as refineries prove unable to keep up with surging demand, especially for the diesel-like fuels used in manufacturing and freight transportation. The result has been a surge in prices refiners receive for selling fuels compared with the prices they pay for buying crude and other feedstocks, boosting their profitability significantly.
Joe Biden Administration Cancels Oil and Gas Lease Sales in Alaska, Gulf of Mexico
President Joe Biden’s administration has ceased all oil and gas leases to Alaska’s Cook Inlet and the Gulf of Mexico as of Wednesday night.
A spokesperson for the Interior Department said on Wednesday the “Cook Inlet lease sale would not proceed due to insufficient industry interest. Meanwhile, the planned sale of two leases, lease 259 and lease 261, in the Gulf of Mexico will not proceed due to contradictory court rulings on the leases,” according to The Hill.
Great Reset: Bulgarian MEP on Klaus Schwab's Plans to Eradicate Western Civilization
In February, the European Commission announced that it wanted to extend freedom of travel in the European Union during the pandemic with a digital green certificate, also known as the Covid passport, until July 1, 2023. Citizens can prove that they are fully vaccinated, recovered, or have a negative PCR test with such a certificate.
During a debate in the European Union Parliament, Bulgarian MEP Angel Djambazki was very critical of the passport. The certificate is not practical and does not work because vaccinated and unvaccinated people get sick, exclaimed the leader.
The cryptocurrency bubble bursts… but is it a sign of a stock market crash to come?
Digital investors lose fortunes as Ethereum sheds 20% of its value in 24 hours, Luna drops NINETY-EIGHT per cent and Coinbase warns customers may lose ALL their money
Digital currencies are plunging in value today in a so-called 'crypto winter' that has lost investors billions and is fuelling fears that it is the harbinger of a wider stock market crash.

Truckloads of avocados dumped despite massive food price hikes in Oz
Australian consumers were flabbergasted to learn that thousands of avocados were being dumped amid the highest food price inflation in years. A Queensland resident described the discarded mountains of fruit as "tonnes and tonnes and tonnes of avocados going to waste".
But farmers have defended the waste, saying it was the only way to secure a profit. Jan De Lai, a resident of Atherton in far north Queensland, said the fruit were perfectly fine but left to rot on a waste dump.
“Two trucks came in and just dumped big mounds of avocados. And I’d noticed that there’d also been a lot dumped there previously,” she told Australian outlet 7NEWS.
Australia is suffering its highest year-on-year increase in food price inflation since 2011, according to Michael Harvey, an agriculture industry analyst from Rabobank.
Four High-Ranking Govt. Officials Have Now Admitted The U.S. Funds Biolabs In Ukraine and Around The World
If you thought the bombings of strategic sites in Ukraine seemed suspicious, you are not alone. In fact, a well known conservative investigative researcher Jacob Creech (BioClandestine) had come to the same conclusion when Russia started making moves on Ukraine.
Upon further digging, the evidence led him to believe that this was the destruction of American biolab sites; the very ones that are not allowed to be on American soil and rumored to be all over the world.

Biden’s Amendments Hand U.S. Sovereignty to the WHO
If these amendments are approved, the WHO will have the power to declare an “international health emergency,” nullifying the powers of nation states. The U.S. amendments delete a critical existing restriction in the regulations: “WHO shall consult with and attempt to obtain verification from the State Party in whose territory the event is allegedly occurring…” This enables the Director-General to declare health emergencies at will and can be used to justify ostracism and economic or financial actions against the targeted nation by other nations aligned with WHO or who wish to harm and control the accused nation.

Food prices rose 9.4 compared with a year earlier, data from the Department of Labor showed on Wednesday. That is the fastest rate of inflation for food since 1981. Grocery store prices were up by even more, 10.8 percent. The broader Consumer Price Index rose by 8.3 percent.
Former US intelligence chief warns Biden could freeze bank accounts to combat ‘misinformation’
The White House has already made an attempt to collect bank account information from Americans last October, in a move which Richard Grenell warned could be repeated.
(LifeSiteNews) – Richard Grenell, former Director of National Intelligence under then-President Donald Trump, tweeted April 30 that Americans should beware of the new Biden administration’s “Ministry of Truth” freezing bank accounts in the name of protection against misinformation.
“Don’t be surprised if the Department of Misinformation freezes your ATM card until you delete your unapproved opinions,” Grenell wrote. “Democrats are weaponizing government agencies with reckless abandonment.”
YOUR CHILDREN ARE NOT SAFE IN SCHOOL. ANY SCHOOL
Parents and a 12 year old, who attended a public school in Colorado, were lied to get her to attend after school art club. It was about gender & sexuality, and it could not be more predatory.
They are teaching your children that is OK to lie and deceive parents. To listen to the state or government first and you second. They are teaching them to be good slaves.
As I have said many times. Get your kids out of public school while you can. They will eventually kill them or convince them to kill, maim or destroy themselves.
Horror: Tyrannical Government of Canada Will Pay to Euthanize Those Who Are “Too Poor to Continue Living With Dignity”
Crippling inflation, homelessness, skyrocketing crime, supply shortages, and depression – all of which come hand in hand with radical liberal policies that promise to take care of the supposedly oppressed and the financially downtrodden.
However, in Canada, the public health ‘experts’ are trying out a more ghastly approach to solving people’s issues – and if people accept the evil proposal, their problems will be taken care of once and for all… quite literally.
Family members of euthanized Canadians say assisted dying program killed patients who could have recovered
Canadians who lost loved ones to doctor-assisted euthanasia are calling on the federal government to do more to protect vulnerable people from wrongfully accessing the program, saying medical professionals are not complying with existing safeguards.

In partnering with TomboyX to carry the breast-concealing bras and penis-pretending underwear, Target will be marketing the products directly to kids, with the gender bender merchandise starting at sizes small enough to be worn to children – something the LGBT lobby has applauded.

I could not find any product searching on target.com for pro-trans or “trans-affirming”, “chest binders” so perhaps Targets online inventory is zip code based.
