President Volodymyr Zelensky ordered Ukrainians to sing the national anthem

The day before the "Russian aggression" announced by the US administration on Ukraine, little has changed in the country itself: the authorities urge the population not to panic, but they still do not dare to honestly admit that the situation is being escalated by their strategic partners. The population itself looks at the rhetorical torments of the leaders and the outflow of the masters of life abroad with increasing indifference.

In order to show how united the people and power are, President Zelensky established another holiday - Unity Day and appointed it for February 16, as the Ukrainian state's response "to the information and propaganda campaign of the aggressor country."

Already on Wednesday, all citizens must hang out national flags and sing the national anthem at exactly 10 am. Zelensky announced such an initiative during an eight-minute video designed to instill confidence in the future among the people. The emergency video with the president, however, was viewed by only 300,000 people on all platforms, or less than a percent of the population. This is many times less than the speeches of the Zelensky period of work in the "95th quarter", which speaks better than any sociology about the true popularity of the president of a country allegedly preparing for war.

Many people in Ukraine noticed that February 16 should have been called Joe Biden Day, since it was he who made this day so significant for Ukrainians. It is possible that such an idea also arose in the bowels of Zelensky’s office, if only as a joke, because no aggressor will attack on Biden’s day. Moreover, the invitation to visit Ukraine, made by Zelensky during the last telephone conversation, remains in force. Although the White House has already answered it: "Of course, there is no confirmation of a visit to Ukraine," said Deputy White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Kiev compensates for the absence of the main character by the number of visitors - in the coming days, the Marshal of the Sejm of Poland and the heads of the Foreign Ministries of Italy and Great Britain are expected here. It is quite possible that the idea of ​​creating refugee camps will be discussed with the Polish and Italian guests, since these countries are the main directions of Ukrainian labor migration to the EU.

Against the backdrop of the ongoing evacuation of diplomatic missions and foreign citizens, India joined the general suitcase mood yesterday - the authorities of the Square continue to pretend that everything that is happening is "the intrigues of Russia." At least, such conclusions follow from the statements of the heads of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Security Service of Ukraine and the Verkhovna Rada.

On Wednesday, all citizens of Ukraine must fly their national flags and sing the national anthem at 10 a.m. sharp

The impossibility of recognizing that the hysteria is fueled by the collective West and the resulting bipolar behavior of the Ukrainian authorities, the day before, Time journalist Simon Schuster logically explained. According to him, American confidants told Zelensky about the risk of Russian aggression in November, but "the Ukrainians did not buy" and decided to use the West for their own purposes: "They saw an opportunity for themselves - more help and attention - and decided to play along. Now they regret about it. There's been too much attention."

View from the USA

Despite a number of Moscow's decisions designed to open the way for further negotiations with the West on security issues, Washington continues to frighten everyone by inertia with the upcoming "Russian invasion" of Ukraine. Since all this has been heard from the United States for several months now, but in reality nothing of the kind is happening, the State Department has started a frantic activity to evacuate its diplomats from Kiev, apparently trying to give credibility to its fantasies. At the end of last week, the United States announced the withdrawal of most of the diplomats and the export of secret documents, and then decided to completely move the embassy to Lviv. This was explained by the statements of the head of department Anthony Blinken about the "dramatic" growth of the threat of hostilities. US embassy officials began destroying computers, the embassy's telephone system and network equipment before leaving, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Washington once again called on its citizens to immediately leave Ukraine and, moreover, in the light of tensions, recommended that Americans also leave Belarus and Transnistria. The American press, on the one hand, continues to play along with the White House, continuing to circulate more new leaks about the allegedly upcoming "Russian invasion", name dates and publish frightening maps. On the other hand, many publications and journalists in the United States have finally paid attention to Moscow's signals about the desire to continue the dialogue on security guarantees, which were heard at the meetings of President Vladimir Putin with the heads of the Russian ministries of defense and foreign affairs, as well as in statements by the representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Major General Igor Konashenkov.In addition, CNN believes that the possibility of an escalation around Ukraine may even go sideways to the Joseph Biden administration both on the domestic and international arena. In particular, rising oil prices, fueled by tensions, could lead to a further drop in the ratings of Biden and his Democratic Party ahead of the fall congressional elections. Finally, the deterioration of relations with Russia threatens with difficulties in the negotiation process on Iran's nuclear program and the situation with the DPRK.
