These are photos from Dugina's funeral. Not only she looks nothing like a burnt car-bomb corpse but her father doesnt seem any sort of grief-stricken either.

The initial reports were that she completely burned down and impossible to identify on the spot

Honestly? Morticians can do a lot of work.

Yeah, Algeria was not a protectorate or a dominion or anything like that, but simply part of France. This is why, iirc, it was the only French colony with significant European settlement (about one million people before independence) .

Fyi shock in a medical context means there is not enough blood flow. There are a bunch of reasons for that, and one of them is of course blood loss.

Edit: also reporting after any sort of incident often changes quite a lot.

Yes, Algeria was considered an integral part of the French nation, similar to somewhere like French Guiana today, to the point that it was organized into Départements. This was in stark contrast to the likes of French West Africa and French Equatorial Africa which were much more traditional colonial government organised around the Governor General, one of whom, Félix Éboué was actually a Black man from French Guiana.

Of course in Algeria there was a segregated system of government that deprived the indigenous population, essentially the only people who benefit from Algeria's special status were the colonists from mainland France.

I suspect maybe she wasn't wearing a seatbelt and got thrown out the windshield. Windshield glass can tear you up enough for bloodloss if the blunt force trauma doesn't get you first.

That doesn’t strike me as a retcon at all. Burn shock is a deadly. If you were burnt too bad to identify, the shock probably killed you.

I just want to clear up what shock is since a lot of people seem confused. In medical terms, shock is a lack of organ/tissue profusion by blood and thus lack of oxygenation to vital organs. Shock due to loss of blood is specifically called hypovolemic shock, but there are multiples kinds of shock. Burns often lead to hypovolemic, cardiogenic and distributive shock all at the same time, which is one of the reasons they are so deadly and hard to work with.

If a concussive blast didn’t kill this lady, then I am sure she died from shock.

...
One of the soldiers, who claimed to be in Ukraine, said that he was recently transferred in the direction of Kherson as part of the 64th Brigade. According to him, 80 percent of the brigade, including himself, want to resign from the army, but their commanders won’t let them. “I’ve written multiple refusals [to fight]. Each time, they tell me to go gently caress myself,” he said.

iStories reported that one of the individuals refusing to let the soldiers break their contracts is Deputy Brigade Commander Lieutenant Colonel Andrey Prokurat. According to Frolkin, it was Prokurat who ordered him to shoot a civilian in Andriivka.

“I constantly see guys going [to the command post] to resign. Just like me, they’re told that they can’t leave, that it’s not possible, to 'keep on serving,' and to go gently caress themselves. As a result, everyone is fleeing and going to the base [in Khabarovsk] at their own expense so they can declare their refusal there. I know someone who left for the base, and when he got there, the personnel department told him that around 700 people had already come and resigned,” said one soldier.

Her corpse is at Dugin's feet in the video where he's holding his hands up to his face. He's facing away from her, and another photo shows her lower half was badly damaged, so it looks like she was blown out of the car.

Not sure what the darker black smoke is, think it's from flares dropped as the planes flew over the russian position kinda towards the camera from left to right. From what I can tell the lighter smoke trail is a SAM launched at the first plane which flares and narrowly avoids it, then the second plane drops flares around the same point.

I've seen it stated that it was under the driver's seat in articles speculating as to whether she was the target (the car was hers). The footage of her father at the scene appears to show him standing over her body, very far from the burning wreck, so it seems likely that she was thrown clear by the blast or at least removed from the vehicle before it became engulfed in flames. The body is blurred in the footage.

If there's one thing Zelenskyi and his team can be rightfully criticised for, it's their ardent adherence to libertarian ideals when it comes to labour regulations. It's not a new trend, a whole bunch of changes have been already introduced since 2020, and this law in particular was in the works for over a year now. With Servant of the People's supermajority in the Rada, it would have passed anyway, but maybe with a bit more pushback.

As comes with territory for the account at a glance, they’re sensationalist, and roughly a month behind the news. Ukrainian parliament did approve the law on July 19, and it got signed by Zelenskyy on August 17. The law targets SMBs (<251 headcount), rather than everyone, and only the employees of thereof with salary more than 8 times larger than the legal minimum wage. While SMBs are the majority employer, I haven’t seen the stats that would account for the salary threshold.

Another important caveat that they neglect to mention is that not only the law was unpopular with the people, but also that it was unpopular with the parliament, which did only approve it after amending it on the second reading with a clause that constrains it to being in effect only for as long as the country is under martial law. When that is lifted, this law as-is is nil and void, on the same day. Furthermore, the government claims that they’ll have adopted and implemented the acquis (“EU law”) by 2024, which, as stated, is a safeguard against 5371 getting a future amendment establishing its permanence, since at-will employment is explicitly illegal in EU.

Nevertheless, this is a problematic law for labourers while it is in effect, and does clearly signal that the government is prioritising survival of SMBs over consistent preservation of workers’ rights, even if it comes with some unexpected benefits like finally securing employee’s rights to set the duration of their holiday up to the longest duration permitted under the laws and their individual contract (before, employer could refuse you to give your 24 days off in one piece).

Technically, it is compatible, because all new contracts are still required to be in accordance with Ukrainian and international labour law. The moment Ukraine joins EU, all contracts will need to be updated to accommodate EU laws.

Not quite. Candidate member states are under an obligation to implement the acquis communautaire significantly in advance of joining the EU, since besides adoption and implementation, in legal sense, enforcement of thereof is evaluated as well. Consequently, under assumption of continued course towards becoming an EU member state, Ukraine will need to have all EU laws fully operational years before they can formally become a member state.

To give a better idea, here’s a picture:



Pretty much majority began working on the acquis on the white dot, if not before, and the light blue line connecting “accession negotiations begin” and “accession treaty signed” is the period during which EU member states verify that all chapters of the acquis have been properly integrated. The average for that is about 4 years, median is over 5, for the current member states.

Ukrainian workers suffered a setback on August 6, when President Volodymyr Zelenksy signed a new law allowing zero hour contracts. However, Zelensky did not sign a more dangerous law that would strip almost all workers of their right to collective bargaining and union protections.

Both laws were passed by parliament on July 19. Zelensky did not sign draft law 5371

If you look at Sweden, Finland, and Austria - these were basically fully compliant countries before the negotiations, joining on a “just let them in bro” basis. They still toiled over a year each on the acquis compliance.

Now Denmark, on the other hand, is a good question, how the gently caress did they adopt the acquis so quickly, with their 30-50 small exceptions. But that’s not for this thread.

This is simply inaccurate, about 5371. It was signed the day before the article you link was published. They are broadly accurate about 5161 however, the “zero-hour” law. Quotation marks are there due to a factual inaccuracy on the hours - employees are entitled to receive pay for 32 hours on a monthly basis even if the corresponding work was never assigned to them. Any given company may also employ no more than 10% of employees with “labour contracts with non-fixed work duration”, as they’re called. Not at these are great conditions in any way or form, but the law doesn’t quite carry the parity with zero-hour contracts people will think of in other countries, e.g., the UK.
