Instead of 76 mil shares, 532 mil are issued and every stockholder gets 7 shares instead of one. The stock price gets reduced to 1/7, accordingly.

But as said, this is gonna be a stock dividend, it's different.

Your positions will be force-closed at broker's will, citing "your safety" or "unprecedented volatility" or some similar BS.

You have already signed your approval hidden in the fine print at the time of creation of your account, you just don't realize it.

I live 150 km from Ukrainian border. I can confirm that many of the "refugees" are black men in military age who don't understand a word in Russian or Ukrainian.

The rest are Ukrainian families who pay up to 5000 Euros to get their men thru the border to avoid being enlisted.

Just poor editing on behalf of the broadcast. In reality, his speech has not been cut by any means, it was just edited out when Putin started to talk about Admiral Ushakov.

Refer to 1:56 and beyond.

The Nuclear Ukraine project could become a reality in the very near future, a representative of one of the competent departments of Russia told RIA Novosti.

Since 1994, Ukraine has begun work on nuclear weapons technologies, they have taken on a practical character since 2014, "significant results" have been obtained.

Kyiv, according to the interlocutor, could also secretly acquire technologies for centrifuge enrichment of uranium and laser isotope separation from the West.

Kyiv used the zone of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant for plutonium separation and the manufacture of a "dirty" bomb, a representative of one of the competent departments of the Russian Federation told RIA Novosti.

"It was there, judging by the available information, that work was underway both on the manufacture of a "dirty" bomb and on the separation of plutonium. The increased radiation background natural for the Chernobyl zone hid such work," he said.

The clashes at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant could be related to the fact that documents were kept there on the work on the creation of nuclear weapons by Kiev, a representative of one of the competent departments of Russia told RIA Novosti.

Ukraine, according to him, partially destroyed, partially removed documents about such work from Kyiv and Kharkov to Lvov.

In recent years, Kyiv has been actively interested in uranium mining and enrichment, and has been in dialogue with foreign companies for help, a representative of one of the competent departments of Russia told RIA Novosti.

Ukraine, according to the source, has stepped up geological exploration of deep layers in the territory of existing uranium mines, as well as the development of promising uranium deposits, in particular in the Nikolaev, Dnepropetrovsk and Kirovograd regions.

Kyiv was the closest to the creation of a nuclear charge based on plutonium obtained from spent nuclear fuel in a few months, a representative of one of the competent departments of Russia told RIA Novosti

https://t.me/rian_ru/151508

There is reason to believe that the United States at one time transferred plutonium to Kiev, suitable for work on the creation of a nuclear charge by Ukraine, a source told RIA Novosti.

A key role in the creation of a nuclear explosive device was assigned to the Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology.

Completely fake.. Russians have destroyed practically the entire UAF on the first day of the operation. What Ukrainians still have are the last few Bayraktar TB2 UCAVs and one Su-27.
