@chersonez Is there a variety of Ukrainian borscht in which cabbage is not used at all?

[Forum User @FUser88732]

@chersonez I don’t believe you. There are more than 30 varieties. In fact, every Ukrainian household makes borscht slightly differently from its next door neighbour.

I was pleased to be received by Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer at @10DowningStreet today. I thanked him for the United Kingdom’s steadfast support for democratic Belarus, its principled position towards the Lukashenka regime, and its continued engagement with Belarusian democratic forces.

I praised the Prime Minister’s leadership in the Coalition of the Willing for Ukraine. We discussed support for Ukraine, European security, coordination between the UK and the EU on Belarus, and advancing Belarus-related issues within the G7 and G20.

Supporting democratic Belarus is an investment in the security of Europe. Today, it is vital that our partners continue to support political prisoners, independent media, civil society, and all those who help keep Belarus connected to Europe.

@MateuszKaczysk9 @nonregemesse Traditionally, rye bread was used. It was not served like that in the picture. Bread was precious back then, too.

@BimiMimi3 For me , Zhurek is in this video . 3 minutes presentation : https://t.co/knXzUWpy4J

[Forum User @FUser88732]

Polish żurek is derived from the Belarusian dish zhur. The word żurek is a diminutive form of zhur. In Belarus, the dish zhur is no longer as popular as it once was, while in Poland żurek has evolved somewhat over time.

If Poles cannot explain the meaning and etymology of the word zhur/żurek, then it is likely that the dish was borrowed from eastern Poland or Belarus a long time ago. That said, the modern-day dish żurek is now strongly associated with Polish cuisine.

@panbog2 @balkan_fella Where did I say “poorest”? I did not say that. I wrote that Bulgaria is one of the most corrupt countries in the EU, and possibly in Europe, which is not far from reality. Now go away.

[Forum User @FUser88732]

What makes you think I don't understand what you were refering in regards to the claims against Bulgaria at all? The fact that some assumptions are not backed by evidence does not necessarily mean they are far from reality, especially when we are talking about Bulgaria - perhaps one of the most corrupt countries in the EU, if not on the European continent. Corrupt Russian officials would be proud of their Bulgarian colleagues.

So, you like the numbers?
In 2025, 5% of Lithuania’s GDP amounts to €4.205 billion. Is that enough for defence?
According to these official Lithuanian figures, revenue from the transport sector is €18.4 billion, or approximately 25% of Lithuania’s GDP.
There are 8,000 registered transport companies in Lithuania. Another piece of information: not long ago, on one particular day, between 1,000 and 2,000 Lithuanian trucks were stuck in Belarus.
The question is: why does a country of only 2.9 million people have such a large transport sector? Which country, or countries, is Lithuania serving by participating in the evasion of sanctioned trade?
How is Lithuania going to deal with the real threat of being so dependent on eastbound transport spending so little 4.205 bln euros on defence?

Привет! Давай поспекулируем о том, что могли подписать Трамп и Путин в Анкоридже. Не просто же так Путину стелили красную дорожку.
Я предполагаю, что между двумя странами могли быть достигнуты какие-то закрытые договорённости о предотвращении прямого военного столкновения и неприменении ядерного оружия друг против друга.
Ну что то Молотова-Рибентропа или похоже.
Также допускаю, что мог существовать секретный - возможно, даже устный - договор о сферах влияния в Европе. Например, США могли пообещать не вмешиватьс в дела государств, которые раньше входили в состав СССР. Отсюда, возможно, и холодное отношение к Молдове и странам Балтии.
В Литве к 2028 года должна быть полностью развёрнута немецкая бронетанковая бригада(?). К тому моменту танки могут быть совсем неактуальны. Также заявления США по поводу военного присутствия в Польше. Отправка американской бригады в Польшу?

Kefir culture can be purchased on Amazon. Use a yoghurt maker at about 40°C for approx. 4 hours. Do not rely on the instructions alone. Taste it as it matures.
Kefir is at its best after being left in the fridge overnight. Once you try kefir, it may win you over for good.
Šaltibarščiai is part of a wider tradition of cold summer soups found in many cultures across north-eastern Europe. There are many variatons. You can create your own recipe that suits your taste.
Greek yoghurt, soy milk and dry dill will be unacceptable for me. :)

On #InternationalChildrensDay, we remember children suffering from the regime’s brutality in Belarus.

Lukashenka’s complicity in Russia’s abduction of Ukrainian children must also not be forgotten.

Every child deserves freedom, safety, and a life without violence or propaganda.

В ЕС две страны, которые активно обеспечивают Россию транзитом санкционных товаров, - Литва и Болгария ( транзитные хабы). Или эти товары из ЕС чудесным образом сами оказываются в России?
Всё это происходит на фоне того, что в Беларуси в любой момент находились 1000–2000 литовских фур, а товарооборот между ЕС и странами Центральной Азии вырос в разы. В отдельных случаях на порядки.
Эти рейтинги - для тебя и для таких, как ты. Я оказался прав насчёт твоего общего уровня образования и ограниченного кругозора.

It must be proven in court. Given the amount of money at stake, the court may take 10–15 years to reach a decision. Somehow, somewhere, Russia continues to trade with the EU and get almost anything it wants. Bulgaria is involved in corruption and these schemes. Another weak link is Lithuania, though not on Bulgaria’s level. Some goods were entering Russia through Finland, but Finland closed that loophole within 12 months of the start of the war. Look at the re-export of EU/Bulgaria goods through neighbouring and transit countries - Turkey, Georgia. Also, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan - former Soviet republics that use Georgian or Russian ports on the Black sea. During the full-scale war in Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan increased its trade turnover with the EU eightfold, for example. The goods are destined to Kyrgyzstan on papers only not passing beyond the Russian borders.

По уровню коррупции и реэкспорта в Россию среди стран ЕС Литву, пожалуй, обгоняет только Болгария. Финляндия быстро всё закрыла, а Литва - нет.
Я мог бы подробнее объяснить, в каком направлении копать и что проверять, но ты как раз тот случай, когда один абзац воспринимается как километр текста, а реакция на сообщения идёт быстрее мысли.

Я тебе привёл проверенные цифры. Все так и есть. Это у тебя не хватает ума вбить их в Google или в ИИ и проверить по первоисточникам. Это займёт пять минут. Даже для таких, как ты, которым один абзац кажется километром текста, это не должно быть сложно.
