You can tell how insecure Putin is. He apparently told his stooges on Kremlin-run media to stop calling Volodymyr Zelenskyy "president".

Of course you can still get into big trouble in Russia for calling Putin's illegal invasion a "war". Putin's 3-day special military operation is now into Day 574.

The Kremlin has instructed Russian state-run media outlets to stop referring to Volodymyr Zelensky as “president” of Ukraine, the independent news website Holod reported Monday, citing the recipients of the presidential administration’s directive. Television broadcasters and online publications are instead advised to use the phrase “the Zelensky regime” or call the Ukrainian president by name only, according to the instructions circulated last Friday. The instructions are currently limited to news headlines in order for Zelensky’s name to appear without his official status on Russian online news aggregators. Holod analyzed Russian news stories published since Friday and found partial compliance with the Kremlin’s directive.

FYI: The Moscow Times moved to Amsterdam in 2022. That's why they're still able to publish items like this.

Meanwhile, PRESIDENT Zelenskyy was at the United Nations in New York asking why Russia, a country which has violated the UN Charter, is still a UN member.

Zelensky urges unity in dramatic UN address

Hailed with vigorous applause when he took the stage, Zelensky used his 15 minutes to accuse Russian leaders of terrorism and genocide, citing in particular the removal of Ukrainian children from the country. Ukraine has long accused Russia of forcibly deporting Ukrainian children from occupied areas – allegations which form the basis of an international war crimes arrest warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin. Some Russian officials have admitted the practice, publicly boasting about their efforts to bring children to Russia, place them in Russian families and, in some cases, give them Russian passports.

PRESIDENT Zelenskyy seemed to refer to the folks ignorant about Eastern Europe who preach "compromise" with Russia.

In a warning to other nations over “shady” cooperation with Russia, the Ukrainian president also invoked the death of Russian Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin last month. “I am aware of their attempts to make some shady dealings behind the scenes. Evil cannot be trusted. Ask Prigozhin if one bets on Putin’s promises,” he said.

Occasionally German Chancellor Olaf Scholz nas not always been enthusiastic about the conflict. But in his speech at the UN he seemed fully on board with the PRESIDENT of Ukraine.

Peace without justice is dictatorship, says Germany's Scholz

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz warned of "phony solutions" in the search for peace in Ukraine during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly. "For peace without freedom is called oppression. Peace without justice is called dictatorship. Moscow must finally understand that," Scholz said, calling on Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war. Ukrainians were "fighting for their lives and their freedom for the independence and territorial integrity of their country, for the preservation of the very principles to which we all committed ourselves in the UN Charter," Scholz said. "And it is Russia's president who can end it (the war) at any time with a single order," he added.

Absolutely, Herr Bundeskanzler. Putin's Russia started this illegal genocidal war on its own and the only negotiations needed to end it is to arrange a ceasefire to allow Russia to withdraw promptly.

Of course Putin was not at the UN. He seldom ventures outside of Russia, except to his satellite Belarus, for fear of being arrested as a war criminal.

"President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has announced his intention to build another An-225 Mriya aircraft, dedicating the project to the memory of pilots who died in the war."

"Oleksandr Halunenko is glad to hear Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky talk about building a new An-225 cargo jet to replace the only one ever built that was destroyed during the Russian occupation of Hostomel airport. But Haluenko - the first pilot of the world’s biggest operational airplane known by its nickname Mriya - Ukrainian for dream - said any replacement will never be the same. 'It will be a completely different aircraft,' Halunenko told The War Zone Saturday afternoon. And if anyone should know, it would Halunenko. He helped design Mriya. For one thing, the aircraft he piloted on its first flight - December 21, 1988 - was built largely from systems made in the then-Soviet Union. 'In Mriya-2, they will need to be replaced by European, American or some other systems,' said Halunenko.

Last week, Zelensky announced his intentions of building a new Mriya during an online meeting with Ukrainian students. 'We wanted to build it, we needed $800 million,' he said, according to the Interfax Ukraine news agency. 'I appealed to the President of Turkey with a proposal to build the 2nd MRIYA, but we did not find the money,' he said. 'But in this case, it's not a matter of money, it's a matter of ambition. We were approached by Ukroboronprom, the Antonov team. This is a question of the image of our country and all the excellent professional pilots who died in this war.'

The idea, said Zelensky, is to dedicate the new aircraft to Ukrainian pilots who have been killed defending their country since Russia launched its invasion on Feb. 24. 'How much they have done, and today we can already say how many lives of people who remained in Mariupol, especially in Azovstal they saved ... How many pilots gave their lives to bring everything there, from weapons to water. And how many wounded they took from there. A large number of these people died heroically,' Zelensky said. 'To build a Mriya for the sake of the memory of heroes is the right state position.'

Zelensky’s estimate to build a new Mriya, however, is far less than what Ukroboronprom, the Ukrainian defense industry conglomerate of which Antonov is part, said it would take. Ukroboronprom said on Feb. 27 that building a new Mriya will cost more than $3 billion and take five years. This seemed like a massive figure at the time. The funds, it said, will come from Russia via war reparations. 'Ukraine will make every effort to ensure that the aggressor state pays for these works,' Ukroboronprom states optimistically on its website. 'The occupiers destroyed the airplane, but they won’t be able to destroy our common dream.' The aircraft known as 'Mriya will definitely be reborn. Our task is to ensure that these costs are covered by the Russian Federation, which has caused intentional damage to Ukraine’s aviation and the air cargo sector.'

The Antonov design team created the first Mriya by expanding the An-124 Ruslan. The fuselage and wingspan were lengthened, two additional engines were added, fuselage barrel extensions were placed fore and aft of the wings, the iconic tail with twin vertical fins was crafted, the number of landing gear tires was increased to 32, and the rear cargo doors were removed. Mriya’s six Ivchenko Progress/Lotarev D-18T, three-shaft turbofan engines each produced a maximum thrust of nearly 52,000 pounds-force. The plane's twin tail enabled it to carry large, heavy external loads — like the Russian Buran space shuttle — which would normally disturb the airflow around a conventional central vertical tail.

During its years of flight, Mriya set a number of world records, including the greatest weight. On Sept. 11, 2001, with Halunenko piloting, Mriya flew five tanks weighing a total of more than 250 tons. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Mriya shifted from transporting space equipment to serving as a charter cargo jet, working for civilian companies as well as governments and militaries. Before it was destroyed, it provided a lot of lift for COVID-related supplies, including a flight carrying medical supplies from Germany to Namibia in July, 2021. One of its last missions was delivering 110 tons of Covid-19 testing kits from Tianjin, China, to Linz, Austria in October, 2021.

Unlike the Ruslan, Antonov only produced one finished An-225 and one additional fuselage.

That unfinished fuselage is stored somewhere in Ukraine, but it is unclear whether it can or will be used for a new Mriya. Neither Zelensky nor Ukronboronprom specifically addressed that. Halunenko, who likened the destruction of Myria to a child being killed, said any effort to build a new version of such a huge aircraft won’t be easy. 'It would be very good if it worked out,' he said. 'But it is very difficult.'

'Unfortunately, it needs a lot of investment,' he said at the time, adding that Ukraine does not have the funds for such a project. 'It can only be built with donations.'
