#Ukraine _From Telegram channel FWIW:_

Donbass Devushka, [2022-04-29 12:03 PM]
From a private source:

Got a connection in Kiev, cant name source obviously as its a long term colleague from high school. He Says going outside has become dangerous. Lots of looting occurring, shootouts between different gangs (as over 20k guns were randomly given out) heard at night, lots of vandalism occurring. Goes to the local bazar and food stores (to get whatever he can get his hands on) with a handgun in his pocket. They didn't use the first ticket out of Kiev in February, now him and his family are stuck there. Says that the hryvnia isn't widely accepted anymore at small businesses, as it's mostly a dead currency. USD is accepted favourable or jewelry. A couple of days ago he had to give $40 USD for two bags of potatoes and 1lb of beef.

#Ukraine Great article - Who's side are you really on? Do you really know all the facts? I bet most that have the Ukrainian flag on their profile, don't! I've conversed with a few, and those few didn't. They just go with the propaganda without seemingly knowing that it is propaganda. Oh, well …

Russia’s state-run energy company #gazprom cuts gas supplies to Poland and Bulgaria
Russian energy giant Gazprom said on Wednesday it halted gas supplies to Bulgaria and Poland for failing to pay for gas in roubles.
Gazprom also warned that transit via the two countries, which host pipelines supplying Germany, Hungary and Serbia, would be cut if gas was taken illegally.

Separately, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russian “special services” are behind a series of blasts in a pro-Russian breakaway region of Moldova.
