With Thursday's contribution of €140 million from Norway, the Czech Republic has secured enough funds to buy 800,000 artillery shells for munitions-starved Ukraine, Czech President Petr Pavel told journalists on Thursday.

Overall, 18 countries have agreed to finance the purchases within a Czech-led initiative. The ammunition should be in Ukraine in the coming weeks, Pavel added.

It's easy to have funds, but who's going to manufacture them? And over what time frame?

Further down in the same article in politico.eu, it says that:

...
During the Munich Security Conference in February, Pavel announced the Czechs had figured out a way to purchase 500,000 155 mm and 300,000 122 mm caliber artillery shells for Ukraine from producers outside the EU. The shells can be delivered within weeks if the funding is there, Pavel said.

The Russian army carried out airstrikes on the village of Kozinka in the Belgorod region, where pro-Ukrainian saboteurs had broken through. This can be seen in photographs of the territory, reports BILD military observer Julian Röpke.

'The video shows massive Russian airstrikes on ... Russia,' he says. 'Although forces hostile to the regime captured only one street in the small village of Kozinka in the Belgorod region, Putin responded with brutal force, such as numerous FAB-500 glide bombs from fighter-bombers.'

Average Ukrainian patriot, typical mentality and way of thinking:


Ukraine has opened a criminal case (https://fakeoff.org/zashkvar/gbr-voz...a-grigorovicha ) to the founder of the Ukrainian studio GSC Game World, known for the series of games S.T.A.L.K.E.R. for doing business with Russia and illegal border crossing

Sergei Grigorovich publicly declared that he was for Ukraine. In fact, all this time, the Ukrainian continued to sell games in Russia, hiding income from the tax.

Grigorovich and his assistants used crypto bridges and Russian payment systems, the money came through anonymous crypto wallets.

In total, Grigorovich's company earned more than 5 million US dollars a year on the sale of computer games in Russia, paying taxes in Russia.

Since the beginning of the war on 03/28/2022 Grigorovich illegally crossed the border of Ukraine using a permit for volunteers. And then he took his money abroad

"Dzhokhar Musayevich Dudayev (15 February 1944 – 21 April 1996) was a Chechen politician, statesman and military leader of the 1990s Chechen Independence movement from Russia. He served as the first president of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, from 1991 until his assassination in 1996. Previously he had been a Major General of Aviation in the Soviet Armed Forces." The photo and the quotation were both posted in the Wiki article about Dudayev.

There is a YouTube channel named Ichkeria English, and in it there are multiple videos of Dudayev being interviewed by someone. There are four of these videos that appear to be excerpts from a common interview that was conducted back in 1995, and I have made an effort to place the videos in chronological order. In the interview, Dudayev provides commentary about Russia and things related to current events.

The first video:
