The Russian president announced on 24 February the start of a special military operation in Ukraine to defend the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s republics (DPR and LPR) from the attacks of the Ukrainian forces.
President Vladimir Putin has addressed the Russian Security Council to discuss the latest updates in the context of the Russian special operation in Ukraine.
Read the full text of his speech: (emphasis added by Andrei)
Good afternoon, dear colleagues!
Today we will discuss the progress of the special military operation in Ukraine.
The main clashes of the Russian Army, as expected, are not taking place with regular units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but with nationalist formations, which, as you know, are directly responsible for the genocide in Donbass and the bloodshed of civilians in the people’s republics.
In addition, the nationalist elements embedded in the regular Ukrainian units not only incite them to offer armed resistance, but, in fact, play the role of blocking units.
Moreover, according to the available information, and this is confirmed by the results of objective control, we see that Bandera supporters and neo-Nazis are deploying heavy weapons, including multiple launch rocket systems, right in the central regions of large cities, including Kiev and Kharkov. They plan to provoke return fire from Russian strike systems on residential areas. In fact, they act in the same way as terrorists do around the world, hiding behind people in the hope of later blaming Russia for the civilian casualties.
It is known that all this is happening on the recommendation of foreign instructors, primarily American advisers.
Once again, I appeal to the servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Do not allow neo-Nazis and Bandera supporters to use your children, your wives, and elderly people as human shields. Take power into your own hands. It seems that it will be easier for us to come to an agreement than with this gang of junkies and neo-Nazis, who settled in Kiev and took the entire Ukrainian people hostage.
I also want to give the highest assessment to the actions of Russian soldiers and officers. They act courageously, professionally, heroically, fulfilling their military duty, successfully solving the most important task of ensuring the security of our people and our fatherland.
Do they have what it takes or are they too far gone down the Bandera road,wonder if the Russian intelligence have been in contact with any Ukrainian military leaders,it may take an operation Valkyrie but a successful one.
Many are too far gone! It is mixed in the regions where they are operating. There is an instance where the hospitals are taking Russian wounded from ambulances. Other videos, banderists are celebrating over dead Russian soldiers.
All the more reasons for Russia to destroy them.
Well the way Ukrainian prisoners are treated would depend on what that filth do.

A coup d’etat is theoretically possible. However, i fear that the Ukrainian military has to a great extent been penetrated by neo-Nazi elements and Western intel agencies that a potential coup d’etat is virtually impossible. Then again, we shall see.
I think the Western powers sitting outside is a perfect example of terrible “friends”. These Western “leaders” have provoked a conflicted and then gave Ukraine a pat on the back and said good luck. They unleashed cyber attacks and sanctions. This behavior is disgraceful. Banderists and US/UK/EU deserve each other. Just like Andrey Martyanov said about the old Western Bandits with the one who lost his horse.
Most stupid leaders will get stupid results. US is only doubling down and offering Finland and Sweden NATO membership and the UK sent a armor column into Estonia. They do this while watching Ukraine get picked apart in days. Ukraine despite being corrupt has a lot of stubborn hard fighting men, mercenaries, ideologues, and Nazis militias. Any smart military men left in US/EU should be calling for meeting and de-escalation. Again, it goes back to the clowns of the West. I don’t expect any good results with them.
US-UK did same in Hungary 1956. Same to Iraqi Shias after liberating Kuwait. Same to Kurds repeatedly for 100 years. Same was done in Arab Revolt 1917. Same was done when leaving India 1947 breaking up The Raj into East and West Pakistan and leaving Kashmir a mess.
That is my take as well. The military may still get put in power but only after the Russian army purges the nazis and chase them back to Galacia.
wow! Russia has just stepped into the “Lavon Affair”.
Google – lavon affair – to understand the connection.
You do this too please!
Operation Valkyerie is hardly to be recommenced – it was always doomed to failure since the Allies demanded Unconditional Surrender and the July Plotters thought they had negotiating power with schedules of demands.
They were doomed even had they succeeded because The Allies were not interested and Stalin certainly not and he had more players on the field.
Throughout 1950s UK and US were sluicing people into Ukraine to prop up Banderites and Kim Philby was busy betraying them to NKVD
The only way out for the Bandera types and Azov now is to commit seppuku or wait for someone else to administer it – they have no life expectancy
After Syria, the Russians are well practiced in this drill.
They’ll set up ‘humanitarian corridors’ out of the cities. Food, water, medical care will be available to the civilians who choose to use these corridors.
The New Wolf’s Lair in Lviv will serve as ‘Idlib”.
Pleas relay this message to Maria Zaharova because i Cant.
News from Fria Tider Sweden.
Breaking: Russia is threatening Sweden
Another Headline: New demands: Give up your NATO plans, otherwise you will face consequences.
The Swedish article translated to English: Russian FM Spokesperson Maria Zakharova said: Finland and Sweden must not base their security policy on reducing security for other nations. Their membership of NATO can have negative repercussions and have certain political and military consequences.
The Fria Tider Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bCRvEpjnFE&t=4s
Dear Maria, I suspect that your message has been misrepresented.
A good advice: Don’t ever threaten a Viking because he will do the exact opposite of what the threat suggests him to do, just to prove that he are no chicken.
Remember, the majority of Nordic people love Russia, but some Nordic politicians don’t.
Let me suggest a public Russian statement:
Dear (Vikings) we are very fond of you, and we have a 1000 year history in common, mostly conducted in peaceful coexistence, Kind of like a marriage.
Thus it will sadden us if you join the most aggressive alliance threatening not only our existence, but have proven time and again to be a threat to peace globally.
We respect that this decision is only up to you to make, however if you chose to join NATO, we must prepare to defend our Nation against you.
We know that you do not intend to attack Russia but some Nations in the NATO alliance have been doing so for centuries. And if you Nation become part of NATO they will draw you into a war against our Nation.
If you doubt, just take a look at the current conflict in Ukraine, created by NATO members USA and Britain. They made a coupe to replaced the Government of Ukraine and have paid this puppet government to conduct genocide against our brothers and sisters in Eastern Ukraine, for 8 years. All done with the sole purpose to drag Russia into the conflict. Now that we have entered the conflict to stop the genocide conducted by US-UK-NATO military advisers, and executed by Neo-NAZI mercenaries, our actions could very well end in a World War because of the article 5 clauses every NATO prospect must sign to join the Alliance.
Article 5 will be in effect if we cause harm to NATO personnel in Ukraine, accident or self-defense be damn.
May your God guide you decision.
With Love from Russia.
This is the relevant warning from Russia to Sweden and Finland:
https://twitter.com/mfa_russia/status/1497234734765780997?s=20&t=r2UdlgMTEIRRQOu1sZOzhQ
Are the madmen about to wade in? First Stoltenberg warns it may spread to Georgia and Moldava and now this.
They are raving rabid, facing an enemy with overwhelming escalation dominance and superior weaponry!
Are there no more sensible Scandinavians around who will stop the incineration-sacrifice by USUK? They just need to hold out for a few weeks..
Dear A.H.H
The “relevant warning” sound more like what we are used to hear from Moscow.
This confirms my suspicion that the hit-piece from Fria Tider is hyped to cause the opposite effect of what was intended by Maria. This is odd, as we usually get sane new from Fria Tider.
Somebody (British or US media) have messed this message up, because you can find the same Hit-piece on Zero Hedge. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/stocks-surge-russia-ukraine-talks-headlines
Yes the mad men have taken over.
Each western Nation are like passengers in a Buss hijacked by Gunmen, driving the Buss full speed toward Confrontation, while holding the passengers hostages.
If anybody try to intervene, they and those nearest, will be either shot or thrown of the buss at high speed.
The only hope seems to be for the Buss to runs out of gas.
But make no mistake there are plenty of sane Scandinavians guiding people to brace for impact, and not to escalate the situation by doing something stupid out of panic (Stockholm Syndrome), while A crazy Dane have escaped beneath the floor of the buss to cut the fuel line.
I browsed through that link you provided (minus the “?” and tracking cookie to the right of course).
“Adolecent noise” comes to mind.
Of course if they were real educated Finns they would know what their very close relationship with Nazi Germany was during WW2. And the so called “neutral” Swedes and Norwegians.
Very borderline acceptable, imo.
This Stoltenberg hysteria, and that German boot-licking “Wormtongue” Olaf Scholz’s snub to Putin on live Russian tv that tipped this into action, indicate early warning signals as to how far and deep this fascist cancer has indeed travelled.
In Orwell’s “1984” speak, we are getting the “two minutes of hate” for [fill in the name du jour].
We are also likely seeing the civilizational tipping point into a new era — a few 20th century loose-ends at the fringes, but largely three tectonic blocks: Slav, Chinese and Anglo-American. The non-English speaking European poodles (and Arabs and Turks et al) will be about as relevant as peninsula Spain in the new scheme of things. Perhaps we could include the Persians as a tip of the Pakistan/India sector?
It looks as if the Germans (domestic & expat) are hiding their mental disease behind the Euro, the EU and the Nato. They’ll be crushed again in due course. They are the perpetual losers.
How do I come to this conclusion?
The silence thundering out of Berlin in respect to genuine remorse and contrition for the wars of the 20th century. They are heading there again, but via the “sneaky male” (see the cephalopod family) strategy.
Perhaps the ME situation could be resolved with moving the Patestinian Occupation forces back to a post-German homeland where they can employ their German serf toilet cleaners — ok, that’s a fantacy, but they deserve each other, imo.
If you’re a non-Anglo speaking/thinking/dancing Baltic, then I’d suggest the old STFU for a bit until the dust settles in the Ukraine. Then we’ll see if this Nato you so desire, is dead or not. I see the funeral plans emerging already. One more winter at most.
Trump 2.0 will most likely be back effectively by the end of 2022 and for real by 2024. And I doubt his stated policy on making the Europeans pay for their own “Nato” will have changed much. In fact, with most non-Chinese (&Russian) economies probably in full blown “post-usd$” Depression mode by then your real taxes will be feeding the military industrial complex scam — not the hyperinflated USA Fed $printing scam.
Would it not be more rational, and less expensive, to live in peace with Russia and the Slavs?
Or is the ingrained racism just too deep?
@imo
Picture this: both Germany and Russia suffered from the results of physical warfare by the end of WWII and had to rebuild afterward. OTOH the USA, the same one which supported Hitler from the get-go (and even gave him inspiration for certain laws), was left unscathed by that same time period, and with that, that same USA controlled (and still controls) German foreign policy the same way an organ grinder controls his monkey, or a puppeteer controls a puppet. This was/is possible thanks to the USA being separated from the real hustle and bustle via the Atlantic Ocean.
In other words, would it not behoove Russia to take its ire out on the USA, what with it having not experienced first-hand war-induced destruction on its own soil unlike its European satrapies?
Well said, you can also include the Dutch and French in that very close relationship with Nazi Germany. You also have to consider what was going on in Palestine under the British Mandate ie dictatorship.
In September 1937 the British declared Marshall Law
The Palestinian Revolt of 1936-1939
On 9 December 1938 French Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet informed German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop that in order to rid France of 10,000 Jewish refugees it would be necessary to ship them elsewhere. At that time the Nazi regime considered mass emigration to be the “Final Solution” to the Jewish problem.
The 1939 St James Conference in London where the British agreed to impose limits on Jewish immigration.
The Haavara Agreement was a pact between the Nazis and Zionists regarding Jewish emigration from Germany to Palestine during the 1930’s. This agreement is considered to have benefitted the interests of both parties. Haavara was intended to promote both the emigration of German Jews and the export of German products to Palestine. As a result of the Agreement, German exports arrived in Palestine at bargain prices with the help of Jewish capital and Jewish commercial assistance. The Agreement also made it possible to settle a large number of German Jews in Palestine. Goods worth a total of 139.5 million Reichsmark were transferred by 1939. Only the outbreak of war in September 1939 ended the transfer practice.
And we know how that ended.
Stoltenberg is predictable wind-bag who does what his US Neo-Con masters tell him. He is trying to ramp up sense of pressure against Putin in all conceivable ways across all European avenues. The idea is to dent the Russian resolve with flood of peripheral and creeping what-if’s scenarios. The Kremlin need only pay scant attention to this, and delegate formal responses to government officials like Zaharova, while Putin-Lavrov-Shoigu keep primarily focused on their main game, their strategic goals, and monitoring necessary contingencies.
I love this – is the kind of meme, that gets to a NORMY. One thing he is like yeah! who da fokk that Putin thinks…and before he finishes the sentence…wow, now just wait a moment…are you saying….
@ A Dane
Excellent , You may want give V. Putin Some advise also ,,He is a very good leader and done great things for Russia and saved Russia.
and doing all those things at the same time as the gangster’s/ Zionists within Russia and in England ,with their world wide accomplices’ USA, Swiss, Israel ,just to name a few ,are trying to destroy Russia. Durning ww2 England failed to do what they set out to accomplish.
The plan was to have Germany and Russia destroy each other and England would take over and even become a greater empire than she was !!
Everyone has their weakness’ ,V Putin Is a lawyer and he wants to do things accorded to the law His enemies operate as gangsters laws done mean thing for them laws are only for their prey.He wants to pleases
his enemies ( Hilter had the same problem with England when he aloud three hundred thousand soldiers
Evacuate from Dunkir instead of killing them one reason he lost the war ,the other is he did have oil ,he even used horses for transport in Ruusia ) Putin does not go in all the way little by little.and willing to negation even
before he is finished.His next problem will be Poland and Romania with their Nukies.
Again that was a excellent advise and thank you.
Tom 123
It has already been noted that in the last few years the Ukraine far right battalions contains Polish and extremist peoples from Sweden etc against the Donbass.Swedish people along side P and Baltics have to decide where their common sense is….seeing Nato for what it is…or continue with their “Russian submarine” hysteria . It is good advice.
Very smart of Russia to communicate that they want to negotiate with the military only.
President Putin, I Salute you. Да! здравствует Владимир Владимирович Путин.
In my heart, there is no place for a Russo-Ukrainian conflict, and if, God forbid, things get to the extreme, I can say: Never, under no circumstances, will either I or my sons join in a Russo-Ukrainian clash, no matter how some hotheads may push us towards one.
— Alexandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn
It’ s a waste of time and Russia don’t control the narrative in the media, Putin is already a war criminal for them. Some of this guys seem very fanatical about it. I agree with Paul Graig Roberts. Russia is fighting lunatics that don’t care for international law.
https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2022/02/25/ukraine-update-2/
Also USA plans to supply their minions with more weapons. Russia is trapped in this situation.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/nato-allies-to-provide-more-weapons-to-ukraine-stoltenberg-says/ar-AAUjn8v
They are already suppling these weapons to their minions in Syria and Russia is there far from being trapped or loosing a lot of equipment.
How they will resuply main forces of Ukrainie, when Russia controls now most of the corridors leading to the East of the country, where most of the forces of Ukrainie are sitting there. USA can only send those weapons to some parts of Western Ukraine via civilian trucks, where not that many Ukie troops left and I can place my bet that Russia won’t bother to go to Lvov.
As for icing on the cake, Russia also have sized large quantity of these weapons in Kiev.
“As for icing on the cake, Russia also have sized large quantity of these weapons in Kiev.”
Any details on the types and amount? Have they secured the chemical weapons that U.S. sent them a few months ago?
No details so far. Only we know that a large batch of western weapons was sized near Kiev.
I share your assessment. Russia should have little or no problem stopping the arms shipments from reaching their destination.
Russian MOD: Kiev was just handed the USS Liberty treatment.
google – USS Liberty – to understand.
You too! Everywhere! Get it?
Another one:
Kiev has just stepped on the Samson Option.
Google the “Samson Option”
Do it!
Western hemisphere is not an entire planet. Although its key members are pretending to be. USA is one of the most hated countries on the planet.
Russian narrative is backed by China, India, Pakistan and many more. Actually Russia endured that constant barking of western media back when was part of USSR. Some warmongering media won’t strip Russia from their army, nukes & resources.
So true. The corporate media of the USA and other western nations just show how absurd they are when they way “the world” or the “international community.” There is more to the world than the Anglo-Saxon countries, Western Europe, and the G7. This slight of hand is amazing and they say it without shame. What bootlickers.
And then they follow their “insights” with vehicle and pharmaceutical advertisements. LOL!!
“I agree with Paul Craig Roberts.” I like to read Paul Craig Roberts, but I am glad it’s president Putin not president Roberts. It takes an entirely different skill to be where Putin is. We all sleep more soundly because Putin is there and I mean “all.”
I worry about Medvedev being up there someday. He is no Roberts, more like on the other side of the scale. Methinks he is a softie with little understanding, or did he not approve the Libya intervention, whose aftermath now president Obama admits was poorly planned? He doesn’t at all belong up there. (Maybe Putin has a teddy bear side or something.)
I notice that you say “the media” as if there is only one.
And, even if there is only one, it does have an off switch.
Its funny, if I go sit under a tree, all I hear are birds.
That’s because all of them are saying the same thing, it’s one media really. I doesn’t matter how many times they lie to their people, they always eat that crap.
Twitter, instagram and all that crap is used to say the same thing.
No-one normal gives a hoot what the Western brainwashed public think. Eve the so-called right in the West is far gone. They criticise “Biden” how he/they “allowed” PYutin to behave the way he is as if Biden, Obama or Trump have had any say what Russia can and cannot do.
The only reason the routing of Nazis in the Ukr hadn’t happened earlier is Russian illusions that the West had any incline to treat Russia as their equal. Once the Russian patriotic elites realised that the West doesn’t give a toss about millions or tens of millions of Russian lives and that for them the only good Russian is a dead Russian, there was no going back.
I thank God that He made me live through this epic time of re-balancing of the world affairs.
There will be a normal part of the world led by Russia and China and there will be globohomo of the US and the puddles until Islamic immigration, Latino Renaissance and rainbow ideology make the West we know today disappear.
Source; News-front.info, Translated by Yandex Translator:
Verkhovna Rada deputy Ilya Kiva in his Telegram channel reported that the bank accounts of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky were replenished by more than $ 1.2 billion over two and a half years of rule
In other words, the current head of the Kiev regime, who is constantly talking about the “fight against corruption”, is actually the biggest corrupt official himself.
According to Kiva, the money came to Zelensky’s account in “ragged tranches” from the accounts of Ukrainian oligarchs. Among other things. “servant of the people” spent money on buying a villa in Miami for $ 34 million, as well as eight sets of Graff jewelry worth a total of 5.6 million rubles, said Kiva.
“It is absolutely clear that without the control of the authorities of Germany and France, the movement of funds withdrawn from Ukraine by the IMF and multinational corporations, including the giants Big Pharmacy, is impossible,” the deputy wrote. Kiva also said that in addition to Zelensky, ex-presidential candidate of Belarus Svetlana Tikhanovskaya and former Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk have accounts in the same bank.
“Every president and his team, after their term of office, left as dollar billionaires and Zelensky, for all his inferiority. he turned out to be no exception, only in his case, no one will let him just leave. Prison awaits him,” the Ukrainian parliamentarian concluded.
Revelations of the Pandora Project
Ilya Kiva did not inform about the sources of the information he received about Zelensky’s corruption billions, however, it became known in October last year that the current president of Ukraine was not a “servant of the people”, but in fact a secret corrupt official, when a loud scandal broke out, provoked by the revelations of the Pandora Papers research project. It was attended by 600 journalists from all over the world, who studied 11.9 million offshore documents, and issued a deafening volley of publications about the secret and dirty money schemes of famous politicians and businessmen, including some heads of state. A number of published documents concerned Ukrainian oligarchs and the current President of Ukraine himself.
Pandora Papers activists identified 14 firms that served Zelensky’s offshore companies and a narrow circle of his friends. Since 2012, $40,000,000 has been transferred to them only from the structures of the oligarch Igor Kolomoisky.
$40 million is about a billion Ukrainian hryvnias. But Pandora did not say how much other money there is, because it is clear that Kolomoisky was not the only one who “sponsored” Zelensky. And the holder of the trust of offshore companies of the president of Ukraine was Ivan Baklanov, Zelensky’s childhood friend, and now the head of the SBU, another “servant of the people” in Ukraine.
A bank for corrupt officials
The blatant corruption reigning in Ukraine is also evidenced by a report published recently by the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung by the Center for the Study of Corruption and Organized Crime (Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, OCCRP), which accused the largest Swiss banking conglomerate Credit Suisse of storing funds obtained illegally or criminally. These data, obtained by Süddeutsche Zeitung journalists from an anonymous source a little less than a year ago, relate to accounts belonging to 37 thousand people and companies, totaling more than $ 100 billion. According to the French Le Monde, “at least $8 billion of them are related to clients recognized as problematic.”
According to the journalists of the Süddeutsche Zeitung, the data indicate that the bank provided services to “corrupt autocrats suspected of committing war crimes, human traffickers, drug traffickers and other criminals.”
In the published data of the bank, among these corrupt officials were the names of more than 2.5 thousand Ukrainians, including people from the top ten richest citizens of Ukraine – Rinat Akhmetov and Igor Kolomoisky. As for Akhmetov, he shared his accounts with top managers of the SCM management company. The journalists found 50 of their bank accounts, the balance on one of which reached 497 million francs in 2016. At the same time, Kolomoisky was found to have one account for more than 27 million Swiss francs. Also, one account was opened in the names of his mother, wife and daughter in the amount of 3 billion in 2007. Also involved in the investigation is Russian-Ukrainian businessman Pavel Fuchs, his account totaled 17 million francs. In addition, the leak mentions Transcarpathian businessman Orest Firmanyuk, ex-head of the Security Service of Ukraine Valery Khoroshkovsky and former chairman of the State Fiscal Service Roman Nasirov.
In the USA they are disappointed with him
Leading Western media have already written about the involvement of the President of Ukraine in corruption, including even in the United States, where they are clearly disappointed with their protege. “Corruption does not seem to bother Mr. Zelensky too much – at least when those involved in it are close to him,” The New York Times wrote. — In March 2020, when the brother of the head of his administration was caught selling public positions for money, Mr. Zelensky did nothing. More recently, one of the leading legislators was caught on camera when he drunkenly offered a bribe to a policeman at the scene of a car accident, the culprit of which he could be. The public was outraged, but Mr. Zelensky muttered a disapproving comment and moved on. Even around the beautiful roads recently built by the president, disputes do not subside. It is believed that the procurement process was rigged, and the prices were too high.”
“Scandals and tolerance of corruption,” the American newspaper continues, “have undermined Mr. Zelensky’s popularity. 62% of Ukrainians do not want him to be re-elected, and if the elections were held today, he would gain about 25% of the vote – less than the 30% he easily won in the first round of the 2019 elections.”
Even the British accuse him
“During the election campaign,” the English newspaper The Guardian noted, “Zelensky promised to rid Ukraine of the domination of oligarchs in the country’s governance system. He actively opposed politicians, including President Petro Poroshenko, who hid their assets in offshore accounts. Zelensky’s message worked. He won 73% of the vote and is now sitting in Kiev, in a huge office decorated with gilded stucco ceilings. However, the so-called Pandora’s Dossier shows that Zelensky is not much different from his predecessors,” the English newspaper stated.
At the same time, it should be noted that Zelensky’s “offshore empire”, through which he learned to launder money, appeared long before he became president — in 2012. And before starting the presidential election campaign, Zelensky and his wife left offshore companies, re-registering them with their long-time friends, the brothers Shefir and Andrei Yakovlev, but in fact continuing to control all income, which is now not reflected in the declarations. By the way, among such “unaccounted for” real estate are three luxury apartments in the very center of London, the price of which is several million euros.
The key company of Zelensky’s “empire” is Maltex Multicapital Corp, a company registered in the British Virgin Islands, which first surfaced in this investigation. The share of this company also previously belonged to the family of the current president, but three weeks before the first round of elections it was “donated” to the same Sergey Shefir, who was incredibly lucky that year.
However, not only he was lucky, but also Andrei Yakovlev, a long-time friend of the Zelensky family and part-time screenwriter of Kvartal 95. He received a solid “gift” from the future SBU chief Ivan Bakanov – the offshore company Davegra Limited.
This company is interesting because it is not only the owner of Maltex Multicapital Corp, but also keeps a list of its real owners in order to hide the true beneficiaries, among whom the current Ukrainian president and his wife are present.
“The disclosure regarding the Maltex company puts Zelensky in an awkward position, given his election promise to deal with those who transfer wealth abroad, the newspaper noted. In his article published in the Atlantic Council, Zelensky stated that his ultimate goal as president is to destroy the “traditional oligarchic order” and replace it with a “fairer system”,” The Guardian pointed out, recalling that recently the EU auditors warned: “large-scale corruption and state takeover” are still widespread in Ukraine, and the president has failed to deal with corruption.
And how to cope with it, if the head of the “nezalezhnaya” is an inveterate corrupt official? And the West knows this very well, they feed him themselves and continue to actively support Zelensky. How can we not recall the words of US President Roosevelt, who at one time expressed himself in this way in relation to the American puppet, the Dominican dictator Trujillo: “Yes, we know he’s a son of a bitch. But he’s our son of a bitch!”
–
I didn’t know that Ze is so openly corrupt and wealthy at the same time. He became yet another greedy oligarch. I hope he won’t run away to his villa in Miami.
Well, if he has learned anything at all from his U$ masters, he knows chickenhawks never have to say “sorry.”
Nope, he’s in Kiev. Want proof: look behind him, there is a map of Ukraine. See?
Yes, he is still in Kiev despite warnings from USA to take the leave. But at some point he could try to run away in civilian car.
Russia could gain extra info from capturing and interrogating him.
Donbass needs financial compensation as does Crimeans …can they get hold if?

Or lay the guns down and clean house of these people and the Azov Nazis supporters
The Ukrainian army is not switching sides and turning against the junta the more this goes people will mobilize against Russia, Ukraine today is not the same as in 2014
Russia should have done this in 2014 now its too late that’s my opinion (Hope am wrong)
How will the Russians defeat the tens of thousands of Ukrainian nationalists with such a small force, which they are now using?.. there have been heavy Russian losses .
Here are some people i follow on twitter.

I’m guessing if the original plan fails they will step up the use of firepower.
It’s important to note that the Russian attacks have been restrained in order to prevent a full-on bloodbath, knowing this comes at the cost of the lives of some of their soldiers.
The Russian army are saints, really. Sacrificing their own to save the lives of both Ukrainian soldiers and civlians, giving them a chance to surrender.
Unfortunately I think the Ukrainians are too deluded with nonsense and will keep fighting. They are all reading social media and might even think they are winning from all the PSYOP propaganda. This encourages them to keep fighting. When they get obliterated, it will come as a complete shock.
Yes, Russia is losing troops and equipment. Yes, some Russian soldiers have been captured. They knew this would happen. They were willing to make this sacrifice to prevent the Ukraine’s entrance to NATO and finally put a stop to the genocide of Donbass.
We’re on day two of the war. Fighting will likely rage for weeks before it ends completely. It’s unfortunate, but that’s the reality.
When you are dealing with fanatics the gloves have to come off,those fascists have to have a taste of total war to get the job finished.
Man… this is really getting out of hand.
Maybe I’m just paying too much attention to the western press, but they are seriously talking about sanctioning Putin and disconnecting Russia from SWIFT.
The west’s economy is going to take a major hit from all this. This might be the first time in history that westerners are actually going to pay a heavy price for their government’s insane warmongering and fanaticism.
That said, I find it hard to see how this won’t continue escalating. How long until ww3?
May the light of our Creator see us through these dark times..
Hello Saker.. What do you think about this:https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202202/1252321.shtml
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/02/24/russian-invasion-of-ukraine-to-further-strain-us-chip-supply.html
Semiconductor crisses.. Ukraina exports 70% of neon supply global..
Aperreantly a fight for raw too.. There is a good reason why China supports Rusia… The Ucrainian external,, Bill,, was suported by Rotchchid or Rockefeller recent… And now Rusia acts…
“Russia and Ukraine are critical suppliers of neon gas and palladium that are used to produce semiconductor chips.”
Putin’s gambit. :) Sanctions on high tech for Russia, anyone?
This is the gravest part of his pronouncement and it’s very sad to read it: “…It is known that all this is happening on the recommendation of foreign instructors, primarily American advisers.” We hope for peace more when things get this bad, because much depends on how one side perceives the other.
A fairly accurate assessment so far for those who want an update.

Yes, I just read that and I have to agree, it is an area where Russia could very easily get caught up in costly street to street fighting as these Nazi types will use the civilian population as shields etc.
Sadly, these are the difficult choices that war presents us with.
The problem I see is the Russian desire to be merciful. I totally understand it,but it is getting in the way of victory. And giving the Ukie’s more chances to kill Russians. This same think happened in Syria twice,and at the end they had to go hard after all to win. But it gave the enemy time to escape,to bolster their defenses,and cause more losses. They need to put the safety of Russian soldiers first,order the Ukie’s to surrender,or evacuate the civilians and then destroy them until they do surrender. If they did that just once,the other Ukie strongholds would surrender.
The Crazies are using civilians as cover and Russia doesn’t desire to kill civilians. Hence VVP saying the Ukraine military should take over power. PCR had a take on this in his Ukraine#2 article. This will likely prolong the war…
Don’t be offended, but you and everyone else is lost in the fog of war and your minds are filling in the blanks. Fact is, every main city is now surrounded or being surrounded. There are endless successful strategic strikes. The paratroopers were linked up with at the airport. There will be endless streams of the sides showing losses and that’s real war. That’s why they are best avoided at all costs.
Western leadership is euphoric for finally having a reason for NATO, they will now devour Europe. Topol was seen on MKAD, which is likely do to NATO doubling down and stacking on Russia’s border. US/EU leaders are insane.
30 years ignoring Russia’s diplomatic efforts for mutual security.
8 years of NATO embedded Ukraine shelling Donbass.
Odessa, pro Russians were burnt and murdered. US was and has been quiet. No justice.
Enough is Enough. I doubt anyone in the West is going to reel in their leadership.
yeah, I know. but it will take precious time.
precious time for these filthy syrens to fill the ears of sons of man with lies upon lies upon lies…
herein the rub…
“Gang of junkies” – that is hilarious. I really wonder what kompromat they have on whom regarding drugs.
That word did catch my attention.
The Russians, Mr Putin and Mr. Lavrov, do not seem prone to argument by name-calling nor prone to making claims that can’t be backed up. That statement is so very different from the normal forms of address from either that it is very, very noticeable.
They don’t seem to be like the Americans, who constantly shout insults like Professional Wrestlers. And I suppose that when one gets used to the western form of discussion, that bit about ‘junkies’ can just slide by as more of the same from the usual suspects. But this is not from the usual suspects. This is from people who usually appear reluctant to make claims they can’t prove.
So, yes, the word ‘junkies’ from Putin did catch my attention.
Just read this on RT, NATO is sending MORE Weapons to Ukraine. Can and is Russia doing anything about this?
Yeah, just one problem: it won’t accomplish anything. Ukrainians are already screwed, most of their forces are either surrounded or will be fully surrounded soon.
So how are they going to deliver the weapons systems, and who is going to use them?
The demoralized Ukie soldiers? Is NATO going to airdrop them anti-air weapons to besieged forces?
It’s just a measure designed to save face and pretend like they are “helping” Ukraine after they put them in this position by forcing them into a war with Russia in the first place.
UK/US will sell more weapons to their patsies in Lviv. Not in the other parts of Ukraine.If they try, they will be destroyed without remorse.
After a while all anti-russian populaton will be filtered out to Lviv and cut off the rest of UkarIne by becoming independent state. Clensed of their malignant influence, Ukraine will be able to join Euroasian family.
Empty the inventories so that they can claim a crisis and stick it to the taxpayer for more weapons.
We can’t afford schools any more, the Armories are empty!!!!!
The Armories are empty, Taxes must go up!!!
You know who’s gonna pay for this, don’t ya?
Sometimes to understand a situation you must be out of the box. Here we have a very masterful analysis of the problems facing Russia in Ukraine:
“Ukraine Update #2”
The function of the Western media is to turn fiction into fact and lie into truth. Once the narrative is established, it is repeated endlessly. I worked hard yesterday to give my readers a true account of the situation. Today I will update the military situation and point out difficulties that the Kremlin might have overlooked……
https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2022/02/25/ukraine-update-2/
.@mfa_russia
says @ZelenskyyUa
refused immediate talks,asked for time until 2morrow morning.
Meanwhile more #NATO arms come into #Ukraine incl via #Poland.
Belief here is #US helping with mil analysis/intelligence.
If true,it’s transforming into de facto RUS/NATO conflict.
this gang of junkies and neo-Nazis are mean. cowardly Ukrainians putting women to hold a machine gun, to fight for them. That’s pathetic. Hollywood scene.
Sean Peen sent by the US to film what they call the “invasion”. The universe is tired of Ukrainians, living in the fantasy world, in their pro-Western bubble. The truth is for those who deserve it. Coffee and speaking the obvious is for fools! zelensky is hypocritical in wanting to become neutral and not join NATO. They are unreliable.
Expect US NATO first strike at any moment. It seems that Russia is taking action.

No missile is “nuclear” it depends what you load it with, which warhead. The missiles Russia used until now could also be loaded with nuclear warheads if they wanted to. But one this will cause some real damage.
Wow – USA decides to sanction Putin. If I were Putin I’d have a photo taken with him flipping the bird. Oh… sanctions…. what a meaningless gesture.
I think Russia should also break diplomatic ties with the USA.
that means we are closer to WW3
Hello everyone,
When speaking to friends/colleagues about the Ukraine situation (many of them) they are all saying Putin is crazy, doing exactly like Hitler in the late 30’s etc., Dombass agression by Ukraine is just propaganda from Russian hackers. I don’t know how to convince them otherwise. Do you have any material to share explaining what went on since 2014 in Ukraine? I am getting desperate!
Thanks,
Marc
Short and “simplified” explanation.
What you don’t know about the war in Ukraine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OisJkpGYpAo
You would be sounding a bit conspiratorial but you could say: “where has the pandemic gone?”
The pandemic (which is real) was also employed in order to “reset” the world peacefully. It didn’t work. Now there’s war.
This war is blamed on Russia because the Western system needs a scapegoat. It is blown out of proportion (it’s a regional war after all, not international) in order to mask/divert problems at home.
You tell your friends: “don’t you see prices rising? homelessness? crime? Student debt?” and so on. The new scapegoat our oligarchy has found is “Russian aggression against Ukraine”.
You mix people’s fears and feelings and turn their suspicion to the correct target (from Russia to Western oligarchies).
Professor Mearsheimer explains it all at length.

exactly.
that is why I back the Boss.
Now you understand.

Pics+ vid on internet of John McCain in Maiden Square pledging US is with Ukraine to overthrow its government.
Vid of Cookies Nuland handing out cookies to Maiden troops.
Vid of Nuland speech saying the Ukrainian coop cost the US $5billion.
I don’t have time to find the links for you. But if you found your way here, (Saker) then you can find plenty of US involvement in Maiden if you look.
This is documentary from 2016 that lays out the historical background plus the specific runup to Maidan and the immediate aftermath in some detail:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHH10jIRJmQ
Main point, seems to me, is that many problems stem from actions taken during the Soviet era, BUT, neo-Nazi Ukrainian nationalists—stay-behinds and their descendants— have a maniacal hatred of Russia and their own citizens of Russian background.
The USA gave succor to the Banderista right-wingers after the war, and has played them like a violin for its own purposes, and made them into its bitch. The EU has gone along with this program. The neo-nazis have been instrumentalized to significantly reduce Ukraine’s abilty to determine its own economic and political future and have normal relations with both the EU and Russia—to be neutral. This also explains the refusal to “encourage” the Ukraine to carry out the Minsk Accords.
Neonazis have also has been groomed as forward base for NATO and US hostilities against Russia.
Finally the Russian have had enough. They have been forced to take action to protect Russian ethnics, plus their own national security. The security situation was deteriorating too fast, and Russia had to take action. Action for which it has planned and prepped for at least 8 years.
I pray that this can truly be mopped up quickly and Finland and Sweden have the sense to shut up, stay out of it, and not take on the hyena role.
I looked at his website. Respect. He supports Jesse Ventura and George Galloway – two of the most ethical people in politics. Hes getting my support.
Just get rid of Biletsky and Yarosh.
Here is to hoping that Ze negotiates a cease-fire and that fanatical Ukrainian nazis accept it.
Which they won’t, both as tools of the west and because Russia wants to exterminate them (and rightly so).
This needs to end quickly with a minimum of bloodshed.
Does anyone have any input on Russia’s retaliation/response to these extreme sanctions? I haven’t yet seen Russia respond.
To this point, the position of the Ukrainian military takes is extremely important. The only thing that might redeem what I see as an incredibly stupid move by the Russians would be a pre-negotiated agreement with elements of the Ukie military to support a neutral position for the country after the current military operation is largely complete. The major difficulty the Russians face at this point is not economic or military. The thing that distinguishes successful regime change is establishing a reliable, accommodating, government with local support which has firm control over a loyal and competent local military/security apparatus. This is the nexus around which long term success or failure turns. Alliance with a competent proxy local military is essential after victory. Occupation forces will not do. This was the downfall in Iraq and Afghanistan. This was the downfall in Vietnam–likewise Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. The success of the West’s many coups in Latin American was due to alliances with the local, typically right-wing, military. The examples are too numerous–Chile, Guatemala, Brazil, Argentina…ad infinitum. Not to mention the Western triumph in Iran in the 50’s and then in Indonesia with the overthrow of Sukarno by his co-opted military. This sort of alliance with local proxy forces typically requires years to develop. I’m hoping the Russians have done this, and have Ukie generals and formations lined up to step in when the dust settles. Otherwise, the Russians are going to have a serious mess on their hands. I trust they have thought thru…”And then what?…” Zircons are not a relevant answer.
You seem to overlook the situation where Russia managed to get Chechnya onside when USA were funding the Russo-Chechen conflict. Russia has experienced when it comes to empowering nations with ethical responsibilities.
The biggest problem with Russia in this war is that she’s trying to play it too good and be way too kind and that can cost Russia lots of casualties. Civilian population in Kiev are armed, even women have weapons, if you read the comments on Kiev Independent on Twitter they want to slaughter, torture, and murder russians. They want to launch Molotov, they praise the Nazi and Azov Battalion. How can you reason with such people? Putin shouldn’t care about what the West think because the West is corrupted and hate Russia…they will blame Russia on crimes against humanity in any case. Putin should care about his own people and the lives of the russian soldiers, he has to save as many lives as possible. The Nazi in Kiev have put weapons in very dense residential area, they are true terrorists.
Given these conditions force must be used, cannot go there as pacifist telling them to please stand down. Air strikes and artillery must be used…there will be casualties on the Ukrainian side but it’s inevitable unfortunately, they are true brainwashed to understand Putin is saving them. And, as I said, the West and Nato will blame Russia with atrocious crimes in any case.
But they wont.
The Ukies are not going to surrender
According to the mostly U.K. press the Ukies are rallying and either inflicting heavy losses on the neo-Russians or dying heroically, in ways not seen since WW2 while Russia commits one atrocity after another (when they aren’t running away from battle) …
1. Hero engineer blows himself up to deny Russians strategic Crimean bridge (video shows aftermath)
2. Ukrainian soldiers re-capture bridge, rinse repeat, airport from Russians.
3. ‘Ghost of Kyiv’ downs 6 Russian jets by himself.
4. Russians losses are not 2,800 casualties, over 500 armored vehicles, 80 tanks, and 16 aircraft.
5. Russian tank runs over car with driver inside it in Kyiv.
6. Jews huddling in Synagogue as Russians close in.
I have read all of these headlines linked in by drudgereport but to U.S. / U.K. MSM publications.
The info war is full throttle
Yup, the western media war is in full throttle! And it’s basic rehash of same old Anglo-US, tabloid media, Russophobe propaganda – the Marauding Russian Menace! / the Barbaric Eastern Hordes! / the Endless Slav Military Wave! Could be same Russophobe Anglo-US media sentiment anytime from 1950, 1980, to now.
Here arises a problem for the Kremlin’s strategy. Russia allowed the nazification of Ukraine to go on for so long that a network is in place for a Washington-supported insurgency. To destroy the Nazi militias could cost, on the one hand, a lot of Russian lives in street by street fighting, and on the other hand many civilian lives in artillery and bombing barrages like the US and Israel use.
I wonder if the Kremlin understands that it is up against psychopaths, not soldiers. The Kremlin needs to bring the situation to a quick end, but the Nazi militias can prolong the conflict as long as the Kremlin is committed to minimizing civilian casualties. Recognizing the difficulty, Putin said the Ukrainian military must not allow their government to use their “children, wives and loved ones as human shields.” He has appealed to the Ukrainian military to “take the power into your own hands.” Putin said that the Ukrainian military would be a better negotiating partner than “a bunch of drug addicts and neo-Nazis” who have “entrenched themselves in Kiev,” and have been holding the people hostage.
https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2022/02/25/ukraine-update-2/
Russia’s strategic weakness is not her military. Her weakness is her respect for international rules of war and her desire not to harm the Ukrainian population in the interest of good relations once the Nazi elements are removed. The Kremlin actually cares about what people think. This is a frustration and a weakness for Russia, because she has no way of controlling the narrative. Whatever Russia does will be painted black, so she might as well do whatever is necessary to clear out the Nazis before she is faced with a self-imposed stalemate. The Kremlin does not seem to understand that if only Russia abides by international law, there is no international law. Indeed, the Western countries do not even abide by their own domestic laws.
The problem did not start with the Russian intervention yesterday. It began with Washington’s overthrow of a democratically elected government and installation of a puppet regime powerless to prevent the Nazis from developing an independent military force. The Kremlin should have nipped this in the bud, but naively believing in diplomacy failed to do so.
Russia is in trouble because she is forever imposing limits on her use of power. This works only if your opponents have the same mentality. Unfortunately, Russia’s opponents do not.
We see the same Russian unwillingness to act in her response to the latest round of sanctions. True, the sanctions do seem to be more damaging for Europe and the US than for Russia. But humiliation remains in a powerful country accepting sanctions from two-bit punk countries that she could destroy completely in two minutes.
To stop sanctions and all talk of sanctions, all the Kremlin needs to do is to stop the gas flows to Europe. As the president of one of the large EU energy grid companies said, if this happened German industry would have to be taken off the energy grid. In other words, a complete shutdown of German industry–the same as if it were bombed into oblivion. As it is still winter, a lot of Germans would have cold weather inside their homes.

Hello friends, I hope my translation is correct.
Russia doesn’t give a shit about the Anglo Zionist media, yes, they dominate even the minds of some people in St Petersburg,
I, as an Argentine from the south of the world, see it from the outside and the defamation of Putin in the media is lethal.
But as Paul C. Roberts says, whom I read and admire “Russian politicians are dealing with psychopaths.”
Russia is in grave danger, the revocation of the Budapest Memorandum is a worse threat than anything from NATO.
The NATO crackpots knowingly embolden Zelensky.
That is very serious, I fully understand that there will be very painful casualties, Ukraine is large and has a population of 43 million, but this is another Stalingrad. Disarming those Nazi bastards is a very difficult task. The Russians will make it, I know.
I have faith in the determination of the armed forces of Great Russia.
Gracias de otra argentina por su comentario

Thanks from another Argentina for your comment
A couple of things to discus:
1.If I remember correctly before the special operation started it was stated that Ukraine had over 121,000 troops on the Donbass frontlines. That was close to half of their entire military force before the new mobilizations they are now trying to do. Now I’m wondering are those troops (most of them) still there fighting the Donbass militia forces,or did most or some of them escape west.And if they are still there,that means the Ukrainian troops throughout the rest of Ukrainian controlled territory must be no more than around 150-200 thousand at the most.
2. I’m concerned about the reports we are hearing that Russia is considering agreeing to a ceasefire,and negotiations with Zelensky. That they are talking about an outside venue for the talks. That is a bad idea to start with. But holding talks outside Ukraine/Belarus/Russia,is even worse. You can imagine the scene in a Western capital if they did that,cheering mobs for Zelensky,boos for Putin,broadcast 24/7 all over the world media. A horrible idea. But also if we remember the Donbass had several “ceasefires” in 2014-15 with the Ukrainians.The Ukrainians broke them all,and used that time to get better prepared to fight.If they call a ceasefire short of victory you will have Russian troops stuck in freezing cold positions throughout Ukraine. Giving the Ukrainians the opportunity for harassing attacks and getting their defenses better prepared and supplied. I pray Russia doesn’t fall for that trick.
Ze doesn’t have the authority to negotiate. US/UK/NATO didn’t give it to him, and the diehard nationalists (UkroNazis) will not abide his orders.
Whatever he agrees to will be moot, and will just be more legal ammunition for Russia, which has done everything according to the rules of international law – from which other parties consider themselves exempt.
I’m not concerned about him really negotiating. I’m concerned about them having a ceasefire that is dragged out, and dragged out.Which gives a big advantage to the Ukie forces to do harm while Russian troops sit in cold weather with morale sinking lower the more time that goes by. It would be like Stalin agreeing to negotiate with Hitler while they were surrounding Berlin. Especially because if reports are true Russia only has about 60 thousand troops inside Ukraine.You negotiate when you have won the military victory,otherwise they’ll have a 1918 moment where the Ukie’s will claim like the Germans did that they weren’t really beaten.And after the Russian troops are gone start their anti-Russian jihad again.
It’s mostly BS propaganda. Yes, there are mobilizations going on. In Cherkasy a young man came into the store of a family member to buy a pair of socks to go to military service. He told our cousin that new recrutes are being told that they have to buy part of their outfit themselves because the army doesn’t have shit,.
Might i question, judging on planing & response, that the whole sane international community looks on this as a removal of extreme radicals from the scene – same as happened by introducing the support of radical terrorists into Islam for Israeli & ‘Western’ benefit & finding(surprise surprise) they got out of hand, out of hand here in Ukraine with access to radical NATO & more importantly, processed uranium coming up next.
… I don’t regard the RF (or China) as being off side so to speak
Well said Vladimir. Gang of junkies and nazis.
What he now needs to do is to put out a big statement to Ukrainians and the world about how great things will be in the new Ukraine Russia has liberated.
Free of external EU medalling and the likes of Soros.
List the goals and plans.
I would like to see comments about two things:
– Russia didn’t completely wipe out Ukraine’s air force and air defense. What is left and why?
– phone/internet is still working in most of Ukraine
Russia is not waging an all out war against the Ukraine nor against ordinary Ukrainians; it is only fighting certain elements within the country; this ‘special operation’ has limited aims.
It is impossible to destroy every single plane or helicopter in the Ukrainian airforce — some of them could be flying at the time of the missile attacks, or in repair depots off-base for instance. It is sufficient to render the airforce ineffective, which RF has done. The remaining planes — inferior to Russian ones at that — are useless when they can’t see or know where the Russian threat is coming from, since they were rendered blind the moment their radars were taken out in the earliest phases of the operation.
As to phones and internet, see para one.
There is no hatred involved in this operation, of ordinary Ukrainians, even of Ukrainian soldiers; the exception, of course, is Nazi scum and their zio-Western backed leaders.
It seems like a major challenge to clear out the crazies who are probably more or less hiding among both the civilians and the military. That is, to get the bad apples separated out from the acceptable.
It seems to me that the best way would be to lure out the good apples with continued military pressure combined with offers of amnesty for those who come over to the good side. Carrot and Stick.
A ceasefire that leaves the bad apples biding their time does not seem like a good idea.
There are no words to express my gratitude for the truth and hard work you do. So I will just say, “Thank You”.
I wish peace and comfort to all the brave and too those who have been victimized…God is with them.
Euronews is reporting Zelensky has claimed the EU has agreed to cut Russia from SWIFT. However this huge move is not being reported anywhere else, even on Ukrininform! Strange
https://www.euronews.com/2022/02/25/live-kyiv-under-horrific-fire-as-day-two-of-russian-invasion-dawns
That might possibly be a good thing at this juncture. Just earlier today I read “Germany’s ‘complete blockade’ of Russian banks excludes gas payments” at RT; severing Russia from SWIFT would put paid to Germany’s hypocritical opportunism and leave its factories dark.
Nice, the good old:
Jehu “Hey you guys throw jezebel out the window” trick
The propaganda has begun. My daughter tells me there are now videos surfacing of Ukrainian women in underground basements forced to give birth in terrible circumstances, ‘because Russians’. I notice the comments sections of sites coming alive now with negative-on-Russia comments. Probably 80% – 90% trolls but the masses are being duped.
Putin’s appeal directly to the armed forces of Ukraine is a masterstroke. With luck the saner military guys will oust the corrupt leaders, assume power temporarily, and start negotiations with Putin to end all hostilities and move toward tge establishment of a new Russia-friendly government.
Anyone want to translate this . Pictures are worth many words. From Azov archives.

“It is known that all this is happening on the recommendation of foreign instructors, primarily American advisers.”
Are these advisors in Ukraine or advising remotely?
Saker
Surely Russia needs to cleanse the Baltics?
These tough talking states need a lesson in diplomacy and basic minority rights. Not to mention that they are hell bent on NATO waging war on Russia.
While Russia is at victory’s door step, how about an incursion into NATO nazified Baltics at the same time that Ukraine is de-nazi-fied?
Give a true indication of what NATO and Jens are made of. ;-)
Speaking of which, wouldn’t it be great if the Russians did not stop this operation until Jens Stoltenberg is facing war crimes in a Russian court.
Why we (arm-chair warriors) do we have to fight the information war?
Because the fight for truth and clarity that goes on inside our very own mind is not private.
We are crawling from darkness to light in order to lift the veil of untruth that keeps humanity mind deep in oppression.
We are actually fighting the ’empire of lies’ within our own hearts.
It is not a hopeless task because we all possess access to the ‘collective’ mankind mind. The ideas we believe ours are common to all people, by fortifying Truth inside us we do it for the whole universe. We literally vote for Truth.
Even when looking desperate the fight is worth indeed. You are not alone, you’re being heard, your sadness, your disgust, are noticed, your wish becomes real right now.
Great picture of Putin
https://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2022/02/26/did-we-provoke-putins-war-in-ukraine/
In western country and I can’t open RT website, both Sputnik Int and Saker are painfully slow to open or open new links. Am assuming under attack at present with events in Ukraine.
To be honest, don’t believe that this will happen. Such action requires a certain type of personal moral courage – to do the right thing, fully aware that you’ll be branded as traitor to your people. I simply don’t see it in the Ukie’s military – if they had it, Ukraine wouldn’t be the mess it is right now.
