Bro, sit down and hold on tight, because what I found out today left me speechless! All EU member states agreed, Friday evening, to open the first cluster of negotiations with Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova. European Council President Antonio Costa announced it, and our president, Nicușor Dan, said it's a landmark moment.

This cluster is about fundamental values - rule of law, democratic institutions, those principles the EU is built on. Monday, at the first intergovernmental conference, it officially opens, and Costa and Ursula von der Leyen said it's a recognition of the courage and work of Ukraine and Moldova. Man, I say good for them!

Who would have thought that Ukraine, after so much war, and Moldova, poor thing, would get here? But wait, it's not all rosy, bro. Russian Communist Party deputy Viacheslav Marhaev spilled the beans: Russia is "on the brink of a social explosion"!

Corruption, economic tension, utility costs have risen 366% in 25 years - that's like four times, man! When I hear about prices, I remember last month's electricity bill, which left Mioara without her Lidl card. Marhaev demanded a "clear plan to end the special military operation," as they call it, otherwise social instability deepens.

And look, the ambassadors of Great Britain, France, and Germany went to the Russian Foreign Ministry to demand direct talks between Moscow and Kiev. A rare meeting, bro! But the Kremlin, what does it do?

It threatens with attacks, Putin says he's intensifying "retaliatory strikes." It's like they've gone off the rails, as I said a few days ago. On the front, Ukraine wants another 20 billion dollars from allies to consolidate its advantage.

The request will be made on June 18 at Ramstein, at the contact group meeting. That money goes to air defense, drones, ammunition, electronic warfare, and long-range missiles. Ukraine allocates 40% of GDP to defense - the highest level in the world, bro!

Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias said the wars in Karabakh, Ukraine, and Iran show that states must produce combat drones on a large scale. Ursula von der Leyen has already pumped 2 billion euros into drone production in the EU, together with Ukraine.

Man, I'm thinking: will Romania get a piece of that money? Because here, drones are only at weddings, filming the bride. Now, let's see what happens.

Who pays? Us, the taxpayers, as always, but at least Moldova and Ukraine have a chance. Come on, I'm off to explain to Mioara why I put 20 lei on a bet that Ukraine wins the war - maybe something comes of it.
