Scrat, good news. The railcar factory in Kremenchuk produced over 5,000 wagons in 2019, A new record. Some were exported to Belarus. But most were delivered to Ukrainian transport companies. Also, the DPKr-3 train has finished its testing and has been deployed. First up was the badly needed upgrade of the train from the airport to Kyiv. The one they started with became over crowded.

More good news, it appears the business of corrupt ports are being squeezed out by an open bidding process. Ze's cabinet shows they are serious about kicking out corruption with multiple port concessions being signed this winter.

Yeah, that is good news. As for those 5000 units of rolling stock (which I can't find anything on) it's well and good but where are they going to sell what they don't need? Russia is the enemy so they can't go there and they make their own. Belarus only needs so many. Replace the old stock? Last I saw it was decrepit to say the least but that was long ago, they needed new stock in a bad way.

You can make things all day long but if you don't have a market for what you make there's no point in making it.

It seems to me Ukraine is against a wall. All they have is people to export (slave labor) and agricultural goods because there's nothing that they can compete in.

I don't give a damn about what is happening in Kiev, that's where the money is. I care about how the other 95% of the population is doing. From what I see and hear, it's not good.

This isn't the Ussr, they didn't build train cars that weren't ordered. There are new trains going in to bring things from the east to the west. For example new freight trains have been added between the TIS terminal and Kharkov. Some of the growth in demand is from the downgrading of the Azov ports.

In Ukraine, the massive surge of anti-Semitism: the radicals openly calling to kill Jews

Quote:
Exclusive News Agency "Kharkiv"

The Ukrainian nationalists have openly called for pogroms of Jewish communities. In turn, the President of the country Vladimir Zelensky goes on to say that there is no anti-Semitism in the state there.

Subscribe to our group Vkontakte, Twitter, Telegram, as well as blog Zen.

In the latest Ukraine situation began to escalate: anti-Semitism was a concomitant phenomenon of the new state ideology, mixed with cave nationalism, Russophobia, xenophobia and glorification of Nazi collaborators. Further exacerbates the situation is that the authorities support the outright Naziswho preach hatred.

Because of these actions the level of anti-Semitism in Ukraine is growing. This conclusion can be reached, if you scroll through the official page of the Ukrainian Jewish Committee Eduard Dolinsky on the social network Facebook. Take his last record, where it is said that in Vinnitsa at the synagogue rushed the man and began to call for violence against Jews. Unknown attacked one of the members of the community and tried to strangle him.

"In Vinnitsa in the synagogue on the street Grushevskogo broke into a drunken man shouting "kill the f*ing". The man attacked a member of the community, a well-known journalist Igor Braverman, tried to choke him and wring his hands, spat on the portrait of the Chafetz Chaim and crumpled it. 20 minutes later the police came... and sent the attacker. All the time while driving by the police, the drunk sneered and scoffed. Braverman ambulance took to the hospital. Reported that the man comes from the village of Yampil district", - stated in the message.

Also Eduard Dolinsky said that the case about the attack on the synagogue in Vinnitsa taken by the Minister of internal Affairs Arsen Avakov on his personal control. I wonder whether Ukrainian law enforcers to bring it to its logical conclusion or it ends, as it was with the Gypsy pogroms.

In addition, the visit of the head of the Ukrainian Jewish Committee have screenshots of the records of the nationalists who openly call for the killings of Jews living on the territory of the Square. But for some reason, neither the interior Ministry nor the security, nor the President of Ukraine did not react to what is happening.

Point emissions of anti-Semitism to the surface in Ukrainian public life are the result of deep processes, occurring in society. In the study of the deep certainly POPs the independence in 2014, which was the catalyst for release into society cave Russophobia. Then the Kiev leaders supported the protesters calling for the massacre of the Russians, and sent nationalist battalions to kill civilians of Donbass. Today, these nationalists raised a coup d'etat from the bottom, calling to kill Russians, Gypsies and Jews.

Yes Ukrainians are so anti-semetic they elected a Jew for president. But to prove this was a fluke and they really are nazis, from Russian propagandists, a story of a drunk guy arrested for attacking a Jew.

Finally, first news for Russian speakers about Bernie Sanders - a scoop-up who he is, his political background, and what he stands for.

Coming from Eastern Ukraine, not "Russia proper," but it it will circulate from there, so good job - at least something for starters.

He's seems upset at this loss of empire. What can he really do about it? By a wide margin they don't want to "integrate" with Russia. There is nothing attractive about this concept to the majority of Ukrainians. What competitive advantage is he talking about? The 1970s soviet industries are dead.
