He claimed that in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, there were likely numerous components of uniforms made from flammable materials due to cost.

He urged readers to keep this risk in mind if they ever faced a "trial by fire." #vojáci #uniformy #bezpečnost (translated)

Veronika Abelová stated that she searched for the qualifications of Sandra Tsoukernik, a candidate for the Senate from the ANO party, but could not find her official biography or information about her education. She wrote that Tsoukernik, born in 1986, holds the title of Mgr. and presents herself as a manager and philanthropist; however, Abelová did not find any information about her work for a foundation or her work experience. According to her, Tsoukernik has not appeared in interviews and participated in only one debate on CNN Prima News. Abelová also wrote that Tsoukernik is the wife of Leon Tsoukernik, whom she referred to as a billionaire of Russian descent who made his fortune in gambling and casinos. She noted that he is often called the "king of casinos," was born in Russia in 1973, and moved first to Israel and then to the Czech Republic in 1990. According to her post, the couple has two children. Abelová added that Sandra Tsoukernik is not listed in the registry as a managing director of any of her husband's companies. She criticized the candidate as insufficiently qualified and ironically urged people to vote for her. She suggested that in the Senate, she could only be a compliant voting hand, and stated that due to her husband's Russian origin, she could also be more dangerous. At the same time, she wrote that Andrej Babiš is running out of people, and labeled her candidacy as bizarre. #politika #senát #volby (translated)

The government of ANO, SPD, and Motorists is reaching for two things that I consider fundamental: property rights and energy security. I do not want a state that tells people to whom they should preferentially sell their property. And I definitely do not want to live in a country that, after the experience with Russia, wants to take away gas and oil. #vlastnicképrávo #energetickábezpečnost #politika #CZ #RU (translated)

I read from the leaders of KDU and TOP 09 that they want to attract ANO voters to their side. I have long experience with Sisyphean work and it is true that even though I know I won't change anything, I still push that boulder to the top of the hill. So good luck to my colleagues, if they enjoy it. Seriously: the only meaningful goal is to convince potential opponents of the fools to come to the elections and outnumber the number of fools who come as well. But how to do that when it often involves capricious narcissists? I don't know. #volby #politika #kandidáti (translated)

The captain of the Flydubai flight, Smit Machchhar, managed to open the cockpit doors despite stab wounds. Israeli passengers were able to get inside and overpowered the co-pilot. Janiv, who subdued the terrorist, described to Netanyahu what followed: “I pulled the controls towards me and stopped the aircraft's rapid descent. Fortunately, thanks to the series Air Disasters, I had at least some experience with aviation.” On every flight to Tel Aviv, there are at least five Israelis who believe they could pilot the plane better than the pilot. Today, one of them finally made it into the cockpit. https://t.co/fkvNPDPAuU #LeteckáKataStrofa #Flydubai #Izrael (translated)
