The Russian ruler Vladimir Putin stated that he is not preparing for any confrontation with Europe. He also mentioned that Moscow is observing violations of the rights of the Russian-speaking minority in the Baltic states. Similarly, the Kremlin chief spoke about Ukraine before launching the invasion. Before the full-scale aggression began on February 24, 2022, Moscow repeatedly denied that it was preparing to attack the neighboring country. Additionally, to justify the war, Putin also spoke, without evidence, about the "protection of Russian-speaking minorities" living in the Donbas. In recent days, warnings have increased regarding provocations from Russia in some of the North Atlantic Alliance states. According to European statesmen and intelligence services, hostile actions could take the form of sabotage, intensified hybrid attacks, or false flag operations. European states are also mentioning the threat of drone and missile attacks or a limited invasion by a smaller armed group into NATO territory. The latest warning came the day before yesterday from Danish intelligence services. They also mentioned the possibility of a ground invasion. However, according to the intelligence agency, the likelihood of this is very low – the Russian army has been engaged for over four and a half years in the attempt to capture two Ukrainian regions, whose independence Putin recognized before the invasion. Meanwhile, Russia is losing a huge number of personnel. Ukraine estimates it at over one and a half million. These figures cannot be independently verified; however, earlier this year, the Dutch intelligence agency and the American Center for Strategic and International Studies stated that losses have reached 1.2 million soldiers. The aim of hostile actions, according to increasing reports from European statesmen and intelligence services, is to test the cohesion of the alliance and sow fear in states supporting Ukraine.

In the last two months, urea has become more expensive by over 20%, and TTF gas prices have increased by over 65%. At the same time, significantly fewer nitrogen fertilizers from outside the EU are arriving in Poland than a year earlier. This means that the end of the year could bring farmers further price increases for fertilizers. (translated)
Good morning with the idiot already on Saturday... which means that journalists and the opposition are working well 😈 The Prime Minister of our country (sic!) @AndrejBabis is promoting an obscure disinformation rag... because only @MarekStonis is willing to write on his perverse orders. In the first half, he repeats many times the old lies about FAU... but I was more intrigued by this. @Vit_Rakusan #disgusting #babisismybitch (translated)
The army broke free from its chains. The president covered everything up, the media is silent. Řehka, Foltýn, Hofírek, Veverka, and also Pavel? The biggest scandal in the history of the Czech Republic Army has been swept under the rug. In Group D, the interesting issue is not the escapade with drones and today's investigation. The courts are deciding whether a 48% gross margin on a charitable collection is legal and whether the proceeds from the fund could legally justify the purchase of four SUVs, Mercedes, and BMWs. It's audience-grabbing, but the real scandal lies elsewhere. In Group D, Otakar Foltýn, Karel Řehka, Radek Hasala, Jan Veverka, and other media-known faces meet, Milan Mikulecký or Ondřej Vetchý. The real brain behind the association is Jan Veverka. An active army reservist, co-owner of the billboard company BigBoard, and a very wealthy - also very dangerous - man. The association is connected to the company FPV Space, which is officially owned by the Poul couple. Zdeněk Poul is a former member of the Military Police and was subordinated to Otakar Foltýn, the main figure of the collection. Radek Hasala is the chief of staff of Petro Pavel's army, and Karel Řehka holds the highest position in the army. What could possibly go wrong? The Group D association was formed just two days before the company FPV Space was established. They were founded in the same notary's office and are interconnected. Without Group D, FPV Space would have no customers, as the courts concluded. These events have already been described to the public. The company used the proceeds from the collection to purchase four SUVs averaging 2 million crowns each, rented commercial space from Jan Veverka, and sent the rent to his former partner. What's important is what the media has largely ignored so far. The connections to the Czech Republic Army and the cover-up of the collection's members by President Pavel and Karel Řehka, today's candidate with STAN's support for the Senate. Now, let’s get to the heart of the matter. Jan Veverka said in an interview that the cooperation between the army and the non-profit sector is common - even that is questionable. However, it is definitely not common for the non-profit sector - according to courts, a very profitable one - to integrate directly (!!) into the Czech Republic Army and act in its activities in the name of armed (!!) forces. Miroslav Hofírek, colonel, later general and director of special forces, issues Jan Veverka a diplomatic passport at the turn of 2023 and 2024, without any (!!) authorization for such a fundamental act. Throughout the year 2024, Group D makes several trips to Ukraine, not as a private association, but under direct orders (!!) from General Hofírek. The official justification is "Protecting the security of diplomatic missions and information assurance." Thus, Group D does not transport drones to Ukraine in the name of a non-profit organization, but travels under the direct order of the Directorate of Special Forces of the Czech Republic Army. Participants in the trips include not only Jan Veverka but also an unspecified number of members of the 601st group from Prostějov, which falls directly under Miroslav Hofírek. From later statements by Jana Černochová, it appears that she was not aware of the trips of Czech special forces members at all. They were fulfilling an order in a war zone, which Ukraine undoubtedly is. However, Hofírek did not have the authority to issue such an order without authorization. This authorization had to be issued by Karel Řehka, or the trip must have been expressly approved personally. Here, the situation becomes even more complicated. Jan Veverka, who was issued a diplomatic passport by the army without authorization and sent soldiers to Ukraine with him, was very generous to Řehka. In May 2024, Karel Řehka announced his separation from his wife and according to his own words, moved to a military barracks in Plzeň. Just a few days after Řehka's announcement, Jan Veverka buys a house. He renovates it and rents it to Karel Řehka and his new partner, Michaela Opltová from the STAN movement. The Řehkas have been living in the house ever since. Hofírek issued diplomatic passports not only to civilian Jan Veverka, turning him into a soldier during his travels to Ukraine, but also to other members of special forces who were in Ukraine with Jan Veverka. That was too much even for Jana Černochová and although Hofírek's actions - with the probable knowledge of Řehka - were scandalous until now, what happened next is interesting. Jana Černochová cancels all diplomatic passports issued by Hofírek and introduces a new process where the issuance of documents is directly approved. She cancels business trips for Řehka and files a proposal for Hofírek's dismissal. Here, Petr Pavel intervenes. He explicitly rules out the dismissal of the army general and tells Černochová to stop questioning the authority and integrity of the army. According to available sources, Černochová was not only seeking to dismiss Hofírek but intended to remove Karel Řehka from his position as well. "The support for Ukraine is seen as correct. If anyone helps Ukraine, it is commendable. An extraordinary situation requires extraordinary measures." Without the president's consent, it is not possible to dismiss Hofírek or Řehka. Illegal deployment of special forces in support of Jan Veverka's private initiative and issuing diplomatic passports without authorization, however, is not enough reason for Petr Pavel to endorse Černochová's intervention. The only remaining option for the minister is the Military Police. They begin investigating Group D and uncover significant discrepancies in asset management. These include the already mentioned payments to Veverka's former partner, SUVs costing 8 million crowns, and other connections. However, the media do not address the "cowboys from Prostějov." Their attention is focused on Jana Černochová, questioning her authority to intervene against an army that approves its own missions without the knowledge of politicians. The media blitz after Pavel's intervention escalates in favor of the army. It doesn't so much address the practically scandalous arbitrariness of the army but bombards Jana Černochová - she is supposed to prevent Jan Veverka's group from helping Ukraine. President Pavel stated, for example: "On the other hand, I consider it absolutely non-standard and harmful when new information and speculation are constantly introduced into such a case during an investigation. It damages the good name of the army, the ministry, and unfortunately also the whole Czech Republic," said Pavel. Karel Řehka admitted to only "minor administrative mistakes" in the same text for ČTK. However, Jana Černochová spoke differently again for ČTK. Petr Pavel allegedly explicitly denied that he was "addressing" Hofírek and in his eyes, everything was fine. Arbitrary deployment of special forces members has not yet been punished. Karel Řehka, who had sole authority to authorize Hofírek to deploy forces, has never been disciplined. Jan Veverka is not charged, and the Military Police is investigating only Zdeněk Poul and his wife. Miroslav Hofírek still commands special forces. Otakar Foltýn, who sharply opposed Jana Černochová and trivialized the issue of arbitrary deployments of soldiers to war zones, currently holds a position at Prague Castle. A total of 48 million, which the Military Police did not seize from Group D, was sent by Jan Veverka to the non-profit organization Memory of the Nation. This organization is financed by Jan Dobrovský, the largest sponsor of the STAN movement, with whose support Karel Řehka is running in Plzeň. That Jan Dobrovský, who is supposed to have significant influence over President Pavel together with Petr Kolář. That Jan Dobrovský, who employs two brothers of Janku Kroupa, a leading investigative journalist at Seznam Zpráv. And again, that Jan Dobrovský, who has a regular podcast on Seznam Zprávy with Jindřich Šídlo, where criticism of STAN can only be sought with a molecular microscope and just as fruitlessly. If anything were to happen to the special forces members and Jan Veverka during their trips to Ukraine, the Czech Republic would have to admit the following. The individuals were sent into a war zone without the knowledge of the country's political leadership, on illegally issued diplomatic passports - without the Ministry of Defense's authorization - and likely for purposes unrelated to the army and to a private collection. The cowboys from Prostějov were not in Ukraine with Group D for the first time; such cases of arbitrariness can be found in the Czech Republic Army in significant numbers. So maybe next time. Shalom.

It was moving to see so many fans and over 41 absolute legends of Wisła - together, at #R22, on such a beautiful, sunny day. Preliminary diagnoses indicate that my ACL did not withstand the collision with reality 😅 and in the near future, I'll need to work a bit harder on my health and undergo surgery. Nonetheless - there is so much happiness and positive emotions around that it can be endured. ❤️ Everyone is happy that they could play here today. Just a few weeks ago, gathering so many remarkable guests together was a dream, and it ultimately came true 🔥 as you can see, it's worth pursuing ambitious initiatives! Thank you for all the well wishes, especially those coming from the stands! 🔵⚪️🔴 A big thanks to @Sportowy_Kanal and personally to @BorekMati. Amazing execution. Remember - the day is not over yet! In the evening, there will be a team presentation and lasers. And shortly in Myślenice, the stadium will be opened by @J_Szlachetka and the first team's match! @wislakrakowsa 🔵⚪️🔴 (translated)
I'm not going to lie, it hurts a bit, but on the other hand, it was a chaotic race and the whole weekend of Red Bull with Max.

A fresh experience from yesterday. A lady reserves a room for 2 people for the night of September 25/26. She is also interested in parking, so we explain how to get to one of our parking lots. Other guests are periodically checking in and I am refusing further accommodation requests thinking that we will be fully booked. But then ... we wait and nothing happens, so in the evening I call and the response is "we ended up going home." When I said it would have been nice to inform the hotel, I was told "well, it doesn't matter." It matters to me, but I didn't have time to communicate that to the lady as she hung up the phone. People please, think. This is a loss for the hotel, especially when due to this, they refuse someone who would have actually used the accommodation. We managed to fill the room at the very last moment. (translated)
