⚡ Ukrainian SSU Claims Former Ukrainain President Poroshenko Was To Become a Tool in the Hands of Russian Special Services. After a high profile story of Poroshenko's denied request to travel to Hungary to meet the PM, Ukrnanews reports that the SSU met with the President, Cabinet of Ministers, and Rada and requested Poroshenko not be allowed to travel. Though there was no accusation directly of Poroshenko, Orban himself is described as someone who "systematically expresses an anti-Ukrainian position, is a "friend of putin" and calls for the lifting of sanctions against the russian federation." Russia planned to use the results of this meeting in its IPSO against Ukraine. The fact that a former President must request permission to leave the country, permission is granted, and then it is denied is, as Poroshenko himself says, "a theater of the absurd at the border."

"President Biden's downfall is painful to watch as he made several missteps during his step-by-step speech on Wednesday." The editors recalled the US President’s visit to a plant in Colorado, where he told workers about the opportunity to “blow up the world.” “Democrats, wake up, you are doing no good to the nation or your party by supporting this man, and it is cruel to him. Thank him for his service and find a candidate who can pass a basic test of logic and thinking,” the journalists concluded.
