Jiri Jicha wrote that Volodymyr Zelensky rejected in an interview with Fox News the idea that Ukraine would abandon its territory or withdraw its forces at Russia's request. According to him, Zelensky stated that Russia was not winning on the battlefield and was trying to force Ukraine to retreat through various forms of pressure. Jicha also mentioned that Zelensky supported the diplomacy and ceasefire proposed by Donald Trump, which he described as an excellent idea. According to him, the Ukrainian president said that peace would allow the return of 9.5 million displaced people living abroad and help them rebuild their lives and the country. Jicha wrote that Zelensky distinguished between accepting a ceasefire and surrendering Ukrainian territory. He added that any American peace initiative pressuring Ukraine for territorial concessions risked allowing Moscow to achieve through negotiations what it had not accomplished on the battlefield. #Ukrajina #Zelenskyj #mírováIniciativa (translated)

Dee | ApexHeritage reported a 2023 BMW M2 inspection, which was said to be in top condition and accident-free according to the advertisement. He stated that upon closer inspection, he found a new front bumper, headlights, hood, fenders, radiators, and windshield, as well as replaced airbags. According to him, the accident record was untraceable. His attention was first drawn to the new front wheels and tires, while the rear ones were worn. During the test drive, he observed that the car behaved normally up to 80 km/h, began to vibrate around 90 km/h, and significantly pulled to the left during hard braking. The owner then told him that he had destroyed both front wheels after hitting a large pothole and claimed that he had bought the car with a new front end. Dee mentioned that he then turned to acquaintances from auto repair shops near Prague. They reportedly told him that the car came from Germany, where it had suffered a serious front-end crash. One of his acquaintances allegedly refused the repair due to the budget that the owner did not agree with, and the car was taken for repairs to Poland. Dee described the repair as very poor quality. He further wrote that it was possible to ascertain that the car had been withdrawn from advertising and that it might be heading for a repeated technical inspection and would not be sellable further. He predicted that it could end up with someone who drives on tracks and would convert it into a racing car. He stated that he would release more information later when possible. He also added that the attached image generated by artificial intelligence was only illustrative, but according to him, it resembled how the car probably looked. #BMW #M2 #auto (translated)

Max Hübner wrote that Przydacz sharply attacked Berek, using the metaphor of pulling him out of the Venetian canals. According to Hübner, Berek met the requirement of being of legal age and Polish citizenship, but did not have the 10-year experience required of a Constitutional Tribunal judge. Hübner added that even if Berek had such experience, he would have violated the law in another way, and without it, he could not even become a district judge. https://t.co/z3JOJVpyD4 #polityka #TK #prawo (translated)

The account author Boycott of Babiš's products vulgarized the Minister of Culture Oto Klempíř in his post and criticized the ministry's announcement that it would review contracts and memoranda with significant cultural events, including the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival and Prague Spring. According to the author, the office justified the step by a more purposeful setting of support in accordance with the state's priorities. The author linked the announcement to the minister's earlier actions. He wrote that Klempíř this year called it a mistake that he could not influence who the State Fund for Audiovisual Creation would grant subsidies to, and after supporting a film with queer themes, which he labeled as activism, he announced a change in the law. When his predecessor Martin Baxa opposed this, according to the post, Klempíř removed him from the head of the Prague Spring board and wrote that he "resolved" him. The post further stated that people booed Klempíř in Strážnice and that the minister then expected cultural institutions funded by his office to defend the values of decency. His party colleague, Minister Šťastný, according to the author, proposed to limit funding for the festival, which was also rejected by Deputy Prime Minister Alena Schillerová. The day before the announcement of the review, Klempíř said, according to the post, that at festivals with political debates alongside the cultural program, it must be clear what the ministry is paying for. At this year's Karlovy Vary festival, criticism of government plans regarding public media was voiced, the author wrote. He added that the government approved a new State Cultural Policy despite an open letter from professional organizations, associations, and unions requesting its withdrawal. The author saw a pattern in these events where after criticism, discussions about money begin. According to him, public funds did not belong to the minister, motorists, or the government, but to all citizens. Independent expert committees, according to the post, were established so that politicians would not decide on cultural support based on personal disputes. The author acknowledged that the debate on public financing is legitimate, but argued that it should not serve as retribution. Culture, he claimed, should have the opportunity to criticize the government without being silenced or influenced by public money. https://t.co/IQFEX6jrEL #Kultura #PodporaKultury #OdpovědnostMinistrů (translated)
