A meat advertisement in Estonia sparked controversy after Russian speakers felt offended and discriminated against
Estonian meat company Rannarootsi caused a stir on social media with an ad for its new grilling product.
The poster shows two men with Ukrainian flags on their sleeves grilling meat by the sea, while the smoky background resembles the aftermath of attacks on Russian oil refineries.
The slogan reads: “The right grill turns bitter onions into sweet ones.”
But not everyone appreciated the creativity. Some users accused the company of inciting ethnic hatred.
The reason is that the word “sibul” (“onion”) is also used in Estonia as a derogatory nickname for Russian-speaking residents.
However, most Estonians viewed the advertisement as political humor and supported the approach.
One commenter wrote that they would now buy the company’s products specifically because of this campaign.
👀❗️There's no fuel in Crimea and there won't be, - Magyar
▪️For now, we're leaving the Crimean Bridge alone so those who want to can leave. Let them "shit" across it to their Russia without stopping;
▪️We've burned 21 tankers in 3 days and will burn 121 more, and 221 more, and as many as we can;
▪️Ukrainians in Crimea need to be patient while we "deworm the peninsula";
▪️"Once every 50-100 years, the Russians get beat up, but this is the first war in their lives where Ukrainians are fighting against them. They're fucked."
Russian business owners describe severe losses after Ukrainian drone strikes hit several Wildberries warehouses. They all say their businesses left in ruins and owners are facing debt.
They should blame the Kremlin's for bringing economic consequences home to Russia. #Ukraine
We transformed Ukraine into a global tech leader and a defense powerhouse.
Beyond digital IDs, Diia.Cіty, and 5G, we revolutionized warfare. Through the Army of Drones and the @BRAVE1ua cluster, we achieved a logistical lockdown for the occupiers, reached a 91% Shahed interception rate, and launched the unique e-Points system to incentivize our troops on the frontlines.
7 years of service. From GovTech to Defense Tech. Thank you for your trust!
It has been a great honor to serve the Ukrainian people as the Minister of Defense.
Here is what our team managed to achieve:
1. Disabled Starlink access for Russian forces.
2. Took over a Ministry of Defense with zero budget, took a risk, reallocated funds from payroll from the end of the year, and effectively invested them in mid-strike capabilities, fiber-optic FPVs, low-cost reconnaissance, ground robotic platforms, interceptor drones, and deep-strike drones.
3. Launched "Logistical Lockdown", this cut off enemy logistics and initiated the isolation of Crimea.
4. Continued the funding program for the Drone Line.
5. Launched a support program for modern drone-assault units that rely primarily on advanced technologies in combat.
6. Introduced a 70% advance payment policy for procurements made via e-Points on the Brave1 Market portal.
7. Fundamentally overhauled the procurement system.
8. Procured thousands of pickup trucks, buggies, and ATVs for the military for the first time—and did so through open tenders.
9. The drone interception rate rose from 83% to 91%, and the cruise missile interception rate soared from 47% to 87%.
10. Contracted Patriot PAC-2 GEM-T missiles for the first time, and submitted an application through an EU loan to purchase PAC-3 missiles.
11. Launched a baseline drone supply system for brigades and corps.
12. Launched a massive grant program for manufacturers of explosives and missiles.
13. Initiated an unpopular but vital transformation of the military.
14. Conducted three UDCG meetings, where we successfully broke through the Russian information trap claiming our defeat, restoring partners' faith in Ukraine. This secured $40 billion in support announced for this year (excluding the EU loan).
15. Launched the mechanism to utilize the EU loan for our military priorities.
16. Found a way to scale cheap missiles against jet-powered Shaheds and signed a record-breaking contract.
17. Our domestic ballistics. We radically revised the technical specifications, maximized accuracy, and reduced the cost by 30%.
18. Signed a contract to procure Gripen fighter jets.
19. Collaborated with the military to plan and execute Operation Auchan, which halted the enemy's mechanized offensive for six months.
20. Opened up exports under the Drone Deal program to attract investment and scale up domestic defense-industrial complex (OPK) production.
21. Launched the Trophy Lab, providing partners with the opportunity to study captured Russian military technologies.
22. Launched the Defense AI Center A1 to accelerate the integration of artificial intelligence on the battlefield.
Thank you to my entire team for their relentless 24/7 service. A special thank you to my family for their patience.
Thank you all for your support!
I will continue to work toward the mission I originally brought to the Ministry of Defense: defeating the enemy through asymmetry, the speed of innovation, and the power of organization.
To be continued.
In my opinion, Mykhailo Fedorov was the best defense minister. He was highly effective and efficient, talented, systemic, with out-of-the-box solutions, an effective and productive team. During his very short time on this position, Mykhailo accomplished so much for Ukraine's defense and our victory.
Thank you, @FedorovMykhailo.
I'm certain that you will continue working for Ukrainian resilience.
