That’s wonderful news. Ukraine’s economy can use every bit of such positive developments.
Things looked bad a year ago with mafia land blocking the sea lanes. Now, there’s not a single ruskie rust bucket far and wide.
Need to do some sub hunting.🇺🇦💪
If we had a real president, Ukraine could do just that. The Black Sea could be a Ukrainian lake.
“Now, there’s not a single ruskie rust bucket far and wide.”
Have to look deep, rather than “far and wide.” 🙂
That’s true, Larry. 😂
Excellent news. Ukraine made their own grain corridor, which is far more effective than the one the timid politicians come up with.
We remember how Turkey made a complete fool of itself with the so-called grain corridor. It tucked its tail deeply between its legs at first sign of a mafia ship.
As I wrote some months before, about the Danube ports, those Ukrainian cities deserve lots of respect for continously increasing the volume of trade, while under frequent airstrikes! They do their part in resisting the Russian invasion, too. Glory to them!
🇺🇦🙂👍
Ditto that for the electric crews working on the grids. They’re at it 24/7 all over the country.
Yeah, good point, RSM! Those guys are working class heroes, too, doing very difficult jobs under dangerous conditions. слава трудящим!
