In the USA, the political elite woke up from winter hibernation winter vacation, and Republicans regarding Ukraine. It turns out that they criticize the current democratic administration not for the fact that it helped Ukraine, but for the fact that it helped weakly and not enough, but we, the Republicans…
Oh, it would be better if they criticized less and voted more effectively!
The fact that this new plan clearly names the entire "gang of four" (China, Russia, Iran and North Korea) as a threat to the world order can be considered a positive point (January 12, 2024 at 8:40).
(Perhaps, it is more convenient to view this map in a separate window: .)
It may be that the ancient Rus’ city on the Oskol River was also called Oskol, but only – may be (so maybe not). The Oskol River is quite significant, and its name was well known, but when did permanent settlements appear on it?
I have no personal impressions about the big missile attack on Muscovites on the night of January 12-13: I did not hear anything, only in the morning of January 13 , that anti-aircraft defense was working around Kyiv. Also for the first time , that our air defense managed to deflect more than 20 cruise missiles from the targets means of electronic warfare.
There are no comments about these tools yet, probably it’s not time to brag about them yet (January 14, 2024 at 8:50 am).
Conclusion: name Oskol in the jarlyks refers to the river, not the settlement or parish.
