I agree.
The Jezebel Spirit is at work in the 21st century through baby-killing, sexual immorality, radical feminism and the fascination with witchcraft and sorcery.
Except Russia isn't communist anymore and has a lower tax rate than we do.

Thank you for your comment
“If you slap a label on someone, you no longer need to discuss the merits of their arguments.”
Very true and so sad.
This is the stereotypical comment by some.
Their modus operandi, method of functioning, is to just label others and distract, by any means possible i.e. mean memes &/or superfluous needless information to distract from post topic.

European Parliament to consider free trade agreement with Ukraine next week

The European Parliament’s relevant committee will consider the free trade agreement with Ukraine next week.
Taras Vysotskyi, First Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine, said this on the air of the United News telethon, commenting on the strategy to minimise the consequences of the blockade of Ukrainian borders by Polish farmers, Censor.NET reports citing Ukrinform.
“The government is actively working to extend the free trade area with the European Union, which expires on 5 June this year. This is strategically important for Ukraine, as it will give confidence and planning horizon for domestic producers,” Vysotskyi said.
According to him, the potential position of the European Union and, in particular, the Polish protesters depends on this agreement.
“The agreement is expected to be considered by the European Parliament’s relevant committee next week. That is why our government officials are now actively working in Brussels to ensure that the agreements are successfully implemented for Ukraine and Ukrainian farmers, as one of the largest suppliers of food products to Europe,” Vysotskyi said.

Commenting on the situation with the border blockade, he stressed that not only Ukrainian but also Polish producers are losing a significant share of their income from the reduction in agricultural and food trade with Ukraine.
“The European Union countries still need food imports from third countries, so we hope that our logical arguments will resolve the situation before the protesters return to blocking the borders as announced. After all, the economies of both countries are suffering. In February, for example, Ukraine’s budget lost UAH 8 billion due to the border blockade, and since the previous protests, i.e. since November last year, the losses are estimated at UAH 20 billion,” Vysotskyi said.
He also condemned Poland’s decision to continue importing agricultural products from the aggressor country.
“Regarding the import of agricultural products from the aggressor country, our government has made a statement on the unacceptability of such trade, as it supports the ability to aggress. We hope that our European colleagues will listen to us and that the ban on trade with Russia will be enforced,” Vysotskyi said.

THE WORLD BANK IN UKRAINE
Last Updated: Feb 23, 2024
https://www.worldbank.org/en/country/ukraine/overview
OVERVIEW
Entering into the third year, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a tragedy with far-reaching human and economic impacts. We will continue supporting the people of Ukraine through urgent repair projects and coordination with the Government for recovery and reconstruction efforts.
Entering into the third year of war, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a tragedy with far-reaching human and economic impacts. This invasion has caused staggering losses to Ukraine’s people and economy, setting back 15 years of development gains and increasing poverty.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has also had devastating repercussions for the global economy, which is struggling in the face of steep interest rates, record-high debt levels, and a climate of escalating fragility and conflict.
UKRAINE REMAINS RESILIENT
The government and the people of Ukraine continue to show remarkable resilience in the face of devastation.
Ukraine’s economy grew by an estimated 4.8 percent in 2023, following the preceding year’s steep contraction, thanks to improved electricity access, a better harvest, and additional government spending.
Despite the war, Ukrainians are sending kids to school, keeping businesses running, and providing critical health services. According to World Bank surveys (see Listening to People survey and Business survey) as well as data from the Third Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment (RDNA3):
• Social support to vulnerable households remains essential. Pensions (covering those in old-age poverty or who are vulnerable) and social assistance make up more than 70% of household income for the poorest 40% of people. 90% or more people receive social payments with no disruption in accessing the payment.
• Schools remain open. Education continues for children aged 6-18 through in-person, remote or blended learning, including in the regions under hostilities.
• Health clinics remain open. Nine out of 10 people say community health clinics remain open, including 8 out of 10 people in the regions under hostilities.
• Companies are adapting by adjusting their product mix, embracing ITC use or relocating internally. International firms remain committed to working in Ukraine.
• In the last year (2023) the Government of Ukraine, with the support of its partners, has met some of the most urgent needs, according to government data. For example:
• $1 billion was disbursed toward housing sector, with most being dedicated to the repair and reconstruction of damaged buildings.
• More than 2,000km of emergency repairs were made on motorways, highways, and other national roads.
• Local authorities rebuilt approximately 500 educational institutions and the share of educational institutions with bomb shelters has increased from 68% to 80%.
UKRAINE’S NEEDS
As the war drags on, the road to recovery is long.. Donor support so far has been impressive as development partners continue to pull together to support Ukraine’s reconstruction, but Ukraine’s current and future financing needs are immense. Private sector investment and reforms that improve the investment climate will be critical.
The Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment (RDNA3), released in February 2024, estimates that the cost of reconstruction and recovery stands at $486 billion over the next decade, and combines both needs for public and private funds. The highest estimated needs are in housing, transport, , commerce and industry, agriculture, energy, social protection and livelihoods, and explosive hazard management.
UKRAINE’S NEEDS IN NUMBERS
17% housing
15% transport
14% commerce and industry
12% agriculture
10% energy
9% social protection and livelihoods
7% explosive hazard management
Reforms and policies that catalyze private sector investment and ensure an inclusive and green recovery, as well as integrating priority setting and project planning into the medium-term budget planning process, are critical to Ukraine’s successful recovery.
Ukraine is taking much more ownership of its own future and is pursuing reforms to grow the economy, attract private sector investment, and increase tax revenues.
Please, take a deep breath — and put down the meth pipe and the paper bag loaded with butane.

Thats not exactly a good thing. The problem with GDP is that it does not in itself distinguish good things from bad things. In a war the civilian standard of living suffers, but military spending masks it, financially.
Thats why I cited German GDP growth in 1943.
The people werent living better, they were under rationing, they were using slave labor, and civilian infrastructure and industry was being blown to bits.
Government spending in Russia largely comes from levies on oil and gas exports. The USSR couldnt do that as their extractive industries were too undeveloped.
Ironically, it was foreign investment in Russia that developed its oil and gas as an export business, in the 1990s-2000s. Numerous joint ventures.
The petro-states like Saudi Arabia also have low personal tax rates, etc.

A few days ago, Russia banned all gas exports for six months due to "maintenance". That was Russia making the announcement, not the MSM reporting a rumor.
Russia has cut all oil and gas exports for the stated reason of maintenance are facts. Russia is obviously lying about the reason - maintenance at major industrial facilities is continuous.
No exports for six months means a 50% loss in gas revenues, and a resulting drop in money to run the war in Ukraine. The consequences of this are readily apparent and already noticeable.
How are facts and what they directly, obviously, undeniably mean are this propaganda?
Who cares. Let's just divide and conqueror ourselves instead.

New sanctions against representatives of the aggressor state, introduced by Japan, Australia and New Zealand, take into account the recommendations of the Yermak-McFaul Group
3 March 2024 - 09:33
https://www.president.gov.ua/en/news/novi-sankciyi-proti-predstavnikiv-derzhavi-agresora-zaprovad-89505
This week, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand announced new sanctions against the aggressor state. Many of these items are based on the recommendations of the International Working Group on Sanctions against Russia, chaired by Head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak and Director of the Freeman-Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI), Ambassador Michael McFaul.
Throughout Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand have taken a clear position in support of our country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and condemnation of Russian aggression. These countries have been actively exerting sanctions pressure on Russia in order to reduce Russian budget revenues and end the war.
Representatives of these partner countries are in constant contact with the Yermak-McFaul International Group and are familiarized with all relevant groundwork. The latest sanctions packages of these countries apply to individuals and legal entities in the banking sector, the military-industrial complex, and propagandists proposed by the experts of the Yermak-McFaul Group.
In particular, New Zealand imposed sanctions on the children of a member of the State Duma and former Prosecutor General Yury Chaika, the nephew of Russian Federation Council member Suleyman Kerimov, the family of Russian investment banker Vladimir Yevtushenkov, and former Ukrainian MP Viktor Medvedchuk, who is associated with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
A number of top managers of Russian military-industrial complex companies were also subject to sanctions, including ZALA, which developed the Russian Lancet loitering munition, Ostec-SMT and RIIT, which produce and supply electronic equipment, FSUE Atomflot, which maintains Russia’s fleet of nuclear icebreakers, a missile test site and a flight squadron that transports missiles, as well as several IT companies, intermediary companies, and importers, including Elektrokom, which supplies electronic components.
Sanctions restrictions have also been imposed on the management and board members of VTB Bank (in particular, Anatoly Pechatnikov, Deputy President and Chairman of the VTB Board, and Dmitry Pyanov, a board member), Sberbank, Gazprombank, and Tinkoff Bank.
Japan has imposed sanctions on individuals involved in the illegal deportation and forced transfer of Ukrainian children to Russia and Belarus. Among these individuals are the Commissioner for Children’s Rights in Kaluga Region (RF) Irina Ageeva, the Commissioner for Children’s Rights in Rostov Region (RF) Irina Cherkasova, the Head of the Government of Chechnya (RF) Muslim Khuchiev, the Human Rights Commissioner in Chechnya (RF) Mansur Soltaev, the Advisor to the Governor of Belgorod Region (RF), and the Commissioner for Children’s Rights in Belgorod Region (RF) Galina Pyatikh, etc.
Japan’s sanctions also targeted a large number of Russian military-industrial enterprises, including Omsktransmash, Balashikha Casting and Mechanical Plant, Dubna Machine-Building Plant, Novator missile and component manufacturers, Kalashnikov, Almaz-Antey and Aurora, Tikhomirov Research Institute of Instrument Engineering, Impulse, RATEP, Nudelman Precision Engineering Design Bureau, Angstrem and Aeroskan, the operator of unmanned aerial vehicles. Japan also imposed sanctions on the IT company Echelon, importers and suppliers of electronic equipment.
The following Russian propagandists are subject to Australia’s sanctions restrictions: Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov, head of the Department of Information and Mass Communications of the Russian Ministry of Defense; Oleg Dobrodeev, general director of the All-Russian State TV and Radio Company; Tinatin Kandelaki, acting director of TNT; Artyom Sheynin, Russian propagandist and host of the Time Will Tell talk show on the state-controlled Channel One TV channel; and singers who support the war in Ukraine: Nikolai Baskov, Oleg Gazmanov, Philipp Kirkorov, and Nikolai Rastorguev.
The Yermak-McFaul International Group continues to work actively with partners to further increase sanctions pressure on the terrorist state and those who help it until the unjust Russian war in Ukraine is stopped and the perpetrators are brought to justice.
“We continue to work. Our priorities include further strengthening of sanctions on the IT sector, preventing the supply of microelectronics and increasing the effectiveness of the oil price cap. We are grateful to all of Ukraine’s partners for their continued support and unity. It is only together that we will stop Russia’s aggressive plans, protect our nations and restore lasting peace in Europe,” emphasized Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak.
“We are pleased that our contribution is appreciated. I would like to express my gratitude to all members of the expert group for their participation in drafting the sanctions. The nearest plans are sanctions in the IT, energy and logistics sectors,” added Vladyslav Vlasiuk, Secretary of the Yermak-McFaul Group.
