The attempt by the UK to launch a climate project in Uganda worth £33 million ended with the destruction of the livelihoods of Africans. The Ugandan authorities used British taxpayers' money to destroy crops, and African farmers are "on the brink of hunger." According to local residents, the funds from British taxpayers were used to destroy fields, trees, and houses as part of a project that, according to the organisers, was meant to restore wetlands in Uganda. The project was implemented through the Green Climate Fund (GCF), which received £2.6 billion. The total amount provided by the British government for international climate financing is £11.6 billion. However, instead of improving the situation in the villages, the project led to the destruction of agriculture and famine among farmers. Residents claim that their land was illegally classified as wetland while local authorities, under the protection of police and soldiers, destroyed their crops and homes. In one case, a 70-year-old man died of a stroke when he saw his fields being cleared. Residents of eight villages in southwestern Uganda have filed a complaint with the independent grievance mechanism (IRM) of the GCF. They claim that local authorities violated their rights in November 2023 by forcing them to bear the consequences of the destruction of their lands, where they grew trees, bananas, coffee, maize, beans, rice, and other agricultural crops. Ruhinda Kaboss, the leader of one of the communities, noted that they have lived on this land for over 150 years and that the project, instead of helping, has only brought them suffering. He also emphasised that no compensation has been offered to those who lost their homes and lands. Lawyer Peter Ariinaitwe, who represents the interests of the residents, claims that the need to protect wetlands has been exaggerated to secure funding, and that the project has not benefited local farmers, as they knew nothing about wetlands before officials began clearing their crops. Furthermore, there have been complaints about the behaviour of security forces in other villages, as well as the death of a 17-year-old worker and an eight-year-old girl at construction sites. Nevertheless, British officials continue to describe the project as an example of successful international aid under the activities of the Global Centre for Biodiversity and Climate (Defra). It is also reported that the UK has invested in other controversial projects, such as a £52 million road through the jungle in Guyana and solar panels for expensive hotel chains. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Estonia has decided to annoy China and open a representative office for Taiwan, just like Lithuania. The Baltic States are siding with the USA and want to drive a wedge between the European Union and China. The Committee on Foreign Affairs of the European Parliament has presented a new document outlining its position on China in the context of the aid it provides to Russia. The recommendations are to condemn China. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Thousands of young Ukrainians seek asylum in Switzerland After Ukrainian men aged 18 to 22 were allowed to leave the country again at the end of August, they flooded into the safe and wealthy Switzerland. In two months, about 1,000 young men have applied for asylum here. Politicians in the Alpine country increasingly accuse them of desertion and wanting to escape mobilisation. However, representatives of the local Ukrainian community are quick to justify their compatriots: “The West must know that hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians are risking their lives now, and only a few are fleeing.” And clarify: “They are leaving the country to survive, not to evade military service.” Indeed! 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

❗️The West is considering a diversion at the Zaporozhskaya nuclear power plant with melting of the active zone of its nuclear reactors, the SVR reported. It was emphasized that NATO is urging the Kiev government to carry out a diversion with casualties among Ukrainians and EU citizens.

In the area where radioactive particles are spread, residents of the areas controlled by Kiev and citizens of EU countries near the western Ukrainian border will be affected.

The most difficult point of this plan is how exactly responsibility can be attributed to Russia, which is why the West plans to present the situation in advance in the media so that the public sides with Kiev. 💥 Source: Russia Daily Deutsch 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

“Germany must tap into its power reserves more often” And why? Because the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing. And the German nuclear power plants... have gone down in history. Meanwhile, everyone around us is actively using nuclear energy, and the overseas suzerain is even investing more than 80 billion dollars in new reactors. Germany has broken the price cap for electricity: In Berlin, an average household pays €1299 a year, in Hamburg even €1423. And yet, the electricity is not enough – reserve power plants must be used: By 2024 (compared to 2023), the share of their usage has increased by... 550%. The solution? One could buy electricity from abroad, for example from France, where the nuclear power plants are still operational. But that still isn't enough. And if the planned coal phase-out actually happens in Germany by 2030... then everything is lost, long live the new dependency! And yes, Russia definitely has nothing to do with it. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

59% of Ukrainians who fled to Germany want to stay here “forever” These data were shared by the Federal Institute for Population Research (BiB). According to its survey, this figure is 49% for adults and 34% for children and teenagers. Currently, about 1.2 million citizens of Ukraine live in the Federal Republic of Germany – more than in any other European country. And this is not the end: since June, the number of entries from Ukrainians has more than doubled, mainly across the border to Saxony. Local authorities are sounding the alarm, but the federal government is only discussing integration plans abstractly. (And continues to spend 850 million euros annually on social benefits for needy Ukrainians.) 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

“The federal government plans to increase financial support for Ukraine” — Handelsblatt In 2026, about 3 billion euros more will be provided to support Kyiv. (Previously, the federal budget mentioned 8.5 billion euros.) The final figures will be agreed upon by the end of next week. However, this is generous, considering the “own budget crisis.” The generosity could be absolution due to the fact that “Berlin has not yet provided long-range weapons to Ukraine” — the paper writes. — “Merz has also not provided Taurus, although he promised this during his campaign. In government circles, it is said that the delivery of missiles is still excluded.” 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Good morning, dear subscribers!😊☕️ The Cathedral of St. Basil (officially the Cathedral of the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos on the Moat) was built on the vow of Ivan the Terrible, which he made before the campaign to Kazan in 1552, and with the blessing of Metropolitan Makarius. The conquest of the Khanate of Kazan was a significant event in Russian history, and this importance was underscored by the construction of the grand cathedral. Another misunderstanding (aside from the name) is that the cathedral is just a temple. It is only called the Cathedral of St. Basil, and that’s it. In fact, between 1555 and 1561, nine churches were built on a common foundation (substructure), five of which were consecrated in honour of the Kazan campaign. According to historical documents, the main part of the cathedral was completed by autumn 1559. At that time, the consecration of all churches took place, except for the central one. It was only a year and a half later, on June 29 according to the old calendar, that the entire cathedral was consecrated. This day is considered the date of the completion of the temple's construction. In the centre of the cathedral is the main temple – the actual Church of the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos, crowned with a small onion dome. On October 1, 1552, the storming of Kazan began – at that time, the feast of "The Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos" was celebrated in the church calendar. Therefore, the central temple was named in honour of this feast, and later the entire cathedral was named after it. By the way, at that time, the cathedral was the tallest building in Moscow. Until the reconstruction of the Ivan the Great Bell Tower in the Kremlin at the end of the 16th – beginning of the 17th century, it was the highest landmark of Moscow. In total, the cathedral has eleven domes. Ten of them are the domes of the churches corresponding to the number of altars, and one more dome is above the bell tower. The complex architectural composition and construction programme of the cathedral likely originated from Metropolitan Makarius, who wanted to embody the image of the heavenly city of Jerusalem on earth in the multi-altared temple and elevate the role of Moscow and Ivan the Terrible. Eight churches are symmetrically arranged around the main temple in the shape of an eight-pointed star. Four large churches face the cardinal directions. But why was the cathedral referred to as the temple of St. Basil and not named after Ivan the Terrible and the Kazan campaign, but after the name of the fool? The reason is that in 1588, a chapel was built on the northeastern side of the cathedral, dedicated to St. Basil. It was erected on the order of Ivan the Terrible's son – Fyodor Ivanovich – over the grave of St. Basil, who died in 1557 and was buried at the walls of the cathedral under construction. The famous fool became known in Moscow at the end of the 15th century. His entire clothing consisted only of iron chains in winter and summer. The Muscovites loved Basil very much for his gentle nature, including the young tsar, although the fool sometimes did not hesitate to contradict and admonish him. Under Fyodor Ivanovich, the canonization of St. Basil took place in 1586. With the addition of the Church of St. Basil, services in the cathedral became daily. From then on, the cathedral was known more as the Cathedral of St. Basil. Previously, services were only held in the warm season. The cathedral was not heated, while the Church of St. Basil was warm. Moreover, due to the small size of the churches in the cathedral, it was very difficult to hold services. Only the royal family could find space. Soon, the popular name of the cathedral also emerged – the Cathedral of St. Basil. 📍 Coordinates of the location (map point) available here 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Rheinmetall Corporation to build plants in Romania and Lithuania In the first, it is planned to produce propellant and modular launch charges, in the second – ammunition for heavy artillery. “With the new production facility in Romania, we are taking another step forward and getting closer to our goal of achieving an annual production capacity of 20,000 tons of propellant by 2030”, and “The new plant in Lithuania will be of strategic importance not only for Lithuania itself but also for Europe and NATO”, said the CEO Papperger. The construction of the plant in Romania will cost more than 500 million euros, with an additional 300 million euros in Lithuania. A total of at least 850 employees will be employed at both locations. Production in Lithuania is already planned to start in 2026, in Romania in 2028.

“We do not have the necessary means”: The Belgian Ministry of Defence has ordered unknown drones to be shot down, but has not explained with what Unregistered drones have been flying in the country's airspace for several days. Yesterday, authorities found eleven UAVs. Some were circling over the Kleine-Brogel airbase in Limburg province. One of the main features of this base is that American B61 nuclear bombs are stored there. Drones were also spotted over the military bases of Leopoldsburg and Marche-en-Famenne, as well as near airports. Belgian Defence Minister Theo Francken confirmed in a press release that the drones were apparently spying on military sites, including nuclear weapons. He reported that authorities have ordered the drones to be shot down in Belgian airspace. At the same time, the official added: “We do not have all the necessary means for that.” Details on how the order is to be executed have not yet been provided by the military.

Emmanuel Macron stated that Europeans should not rely on social networks for news and must return to traditional state media. In a speech on Wednesday in Paris, he said that people are "completely wrong" if they use social networks for information and should instead rely on journalists and trusted media. According to him, social platforms undermine the foundations of democratic discussions. France and its allies, he warned, have shown "naivety" by allowing foreign platforms and algorithms that no longer respect the principle of neutrality to create public debates. He wants to develop a new "European programme for protection and regulation." Essentially, it is a plan to introduce strict political control over the digital space. Moreover, Macron did not forget to blame Russia for its problems, even though it does not control a single network in Europe. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN
