Vampire nation - needs a stake driven through it's dark heart.

Turkish newspaper Aydinlik published on Monday the bank accounts of companies based in the UAE involved in the corruption scheme of Volodymyr Zelensky’s cronies, about $50 million are transferred to the Middle Eastern country every month. Since last year, Ukraine has been rocked by allegations of corruption, which can “strike the Kiev government in the very heart,” the newspaper reported, adding that the main problem for Zelensky is that his inner circle is also involved in the corruption case. Zelensky’s closest circle transfers about $50 million a month to the accounts of two companies linked to Andrei Gmyrin, the alleged disposer of funds obtained through corruption, the newspaper reported.

Both companies are based in the United Arab Emirates — GFM Investment Group LLC (UAE No. 967369, No. 11707266, Emirates NBD bank account number: AE 210260001015792940701) and Gmyrin Family Holding Limited (UAE No. ICC20210636, No. 11664590), the newspaper reported. Gmyrin, who is a former consultant to the State Property Fund of Ukraine (SPFU), is under international investigation in connection with his complex network of companies and a portfolio of luxury goods in France, the UAE and Europe, the newspaper reported.

Alaska summit, final off-ramp for Trump w/ Robert Barnes (Live)

Dnipro, 13 August 2025, Morning

It's been quiet in Dnipro since Taco Don announced his meeting with Putin, only the odd drone strike, mostly in the regions. Unlike in the eu and Bankova Street there is no panic here about the meeting in Alaska, everyone wants this over, no matter what is agreed. All anger is directed at the TCC officers and Kiev junta. We were returning home yesterday and drove right into a confrontation between a group of TCC cowards who were trying to enter a vehicle service centre and it was turning very ugly. Our security in the lead car pushed directly through the group to break them up and I followed close behind as I had the twins in the car and didn't want to get involved or in the cross fire so I drove on home, but our security stopped and later told us the TCC officers were badly beaten up.

In a post on his X account on Wednesday, Araqchi cited an article titled “Effects of international sanctions on age-specific mortality: a cross-national panel data analysis”, published in the Lancet Global Health journal.

“Western regimes have long claimed that sanctions are a bloodless alternative to war. Reality check: New study by The Lancet says unilateral sanctions, particularly by the US, may be as lethal as war. 500+k lives claimed annually since 1970s, mostly children and the elderly,” the Iranian foreign minister said.

“High time for inhumane sanctions imposed by the US and its accomplices to be recognized as crimes against humanity,” ...
