- Unblocking ports for the export of all products will give Ukraine over $18 billion to wage war
Ukraine can get more than $18 billion a year if ports start working to export all types of products. This is a significant amount that we can spend on financing the Armed Forces of Ukraine and defense, because Western partners do not give us funds for the war, says Vladimir Golovko, head of the Center for Political Analysis.
According to him, the blocking of seaports drains the Ukrainian economy. And accordingly, it also hits the security sector, because the defense is financed by the Ukrainian people and Ukrainian business.
Golovko stressed that without the resumption of the full-fledged work of the ports, we will have problems with the approach of our victory, because the taxes collected in Ukraine are not enough. Now funds for defense are transferred from local budgets, but this cannot last forever – Ukraine needs business to work.

21-year-old Kristina Spitsyna and 18-year-old Svetlana Semeykina — musicians who died on August 9 as a result of a Russian missile attack on Zaporozhye. A man died with them.
On the evening of August 11, a small paper tablet appeared on Shevchenko Square in St. Petersburg. The authors of the tablet draw attention to the indifference of society to war and war crimes, as well as the unwillingness of people to notice what is happening.

Both girls were fond of music, and after the outbreak of the war, they created a small group and collected donations to help the front during their performances. One of these street concerts took place shortly before the missile attack. Leaving their friend to collect the equipment, the girls went to rest on the playground, where they were caught by a missile strike. 18-year-old Svetlana died on the spot, and 21-year-old Christina died in the hospital.
