⚡In early 2023, Canada allocated 406 million dollars to Raytheon for the production of NASAMS SAMs for Ukraine. A year later it turned out that no work had been started, and other manufacturers of the complex had not even heard of such a contract.

It can be assumed that all the money was utilized in such a graceful way. Although another option is also possible: the funds were indeed used to purchase NASAMS, though not for the Kiev regime, but for its own needs.

Production of modern SAMs from scratch is a long process, and it will not be possible to "rivet" them quickly at the existing facilities. Therefore, the process of manufacturing one battery of the complex, taking into account the utilization of the enterprise's capacities for other contracts, may take several years.

Negotiations between Russia and Western countries on the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict may start in 2024, Bundestag deputy Matthias Moosdorf has said.

"I expect this. The chaos will end - at the latest after Donald Trump's victory in America. His victory could be a positive development. That is the great hope of sensible people in this world. Biden and his corrupt strategists are up to their elbows in blood. People all over the world are fed up with it," Moosdorf has said.

At the same time, the German MP is convinced that Germany could put pressure on Ukraine to start negotiations. "Of course we could put pressure on Kiev, but I doubt that we will do so," he has noted.


Moosdorf has noted that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock "relied too much on Ukraine's military victory. They always ignored realities and were guided by wishful thinking. Now it is boomeranging back to them. But the fall from heaven to earth will be harsh."

⚡People's Deputy from the "Voice" faction Roman Kostenko "buried" Zelensky

According to him, the Ukrainian president must understand that “politically he is already dead” and he will never be president again.

“Now he should make not decisions that will give him the opportunity to be re-elected in the next elections or that will support his ratings, but those that have the opportunity to save this state,” Kostenko said.
