03.12.2014: “Great Russia is our only real goal.” Former DNR PM Alexander Borodai says the “People’s Republic” was meant only as a temporary step toward joining Russia. The wider goal: restoring Russia to its former size by bringing territories back into Russia.

STEREOTYPES ABOUT DIFFERENT AFRICAN COUNTRIES 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Don’t be ridiculous. Russia isn’t trying to erase Ukraine. It merely insists Ukraine isn’t real while occupying its land, taking its children and replacing Ukrainian identity. Totally different.

Several videos now circulating on Ukrainian telegram channels showing the Russian drone strike shortly ago on Kyiv’s North Bridge, confirmed by Mayor Klitschko.

🏚 Apartment seizures continue in Mariupol The scheme is brutally simple: properties are simply reassigned to new owners in the registry. Then the new “owner” shows up and tells the lawful residents that their Ukrainian documents no longer mean anything.

putin continues to demand neutrality from Ukraine. Fyodor Lukyanov, moderator: “Vladimir Vladimirovich, does Ukraine's neutral status remain among our goals?” putin: “Uh, yes. Because upon gaining independence, Ukraine adopted a declaration, I want to remind you of this. After all, it gained independence on the basis of this declaration. The declaration states that it is a neutral state. But from the very first, steps in building the post-Soviet space and the New Russia, we always proceeded from the fact that Ukraine is a neutral state. And then suddenly they wrote into the Constitution a requirement and goal of joining NATO. But that is a completely different story.” Let’s look at the sheer hypocrisy of putin lecturing anyone about constitutional permanence and neutrality. First, let's remember what he is clinging to: a mere political declaration adopted in 1990—before Ukraine was even an independent country and still part of the Soviet Union. putin is referring to the Declaration of State Sovereignty of the Ukrainian SSR, adopted on July 16, 1990. The document stated that Ukraine intended to become a permanently neutral state in the future, one that did not participate in military blocs. However, the Act of Declaration of Independence of Ukraine, dated August 24, 1991, did not contain such a provision. That text, putin is referring to, was a political statement of intent and not a permanent, binding constitutional law, not an eternal legal chain binding a future sovereign nation forever. In February 2019, a provision affirming the irreversibility of Ukraine’s Euro-Atlantic course was added to the Constitution. This happened five years after Russia occupied Crimea and parts of the Donbas. Petro Poroshenko, who was Ukraine’s president at the time, cited Russian aggression as the reason for the decision. The core truth that autocrats like putin refuse to accept is that sovereign nations have the inherent right to alter their foreign policy and security alliances over time. A country's borders, treaties, and democratic choices belong to its people, not to the historical grievances of a neighboring dictator. And speaking of changing fundamental laws, the irony is staggering. putin has changed the Constitution of Russia more than once—most notably in 2020 to effectively reset his own term limits and allow himself to stay in power indefinitely. Yet, he acts outraged when another sovereign country adjusts its laws to protect its own borders. Asking for neutrality so you can ensure you can invade the country easily without help from outside is the real reason for this demand. It has nothing to do with international law or ancient declarations; it is about leaving Ukraine defenceless so it can be swallowed whole.

В Мариуполе продолжается отжим квартир. Происходит все достаточно бесхитростно - недвижимость просто меняет собственников в реестре. После чего приходит бородатый чеченский дядя и говорит законным владельцам, что их украинские документы - больше «не документы». В процессе диалога владелица квартиры упоминает, что дачу у нее тоже отжали. Люди «той же национальности», что и бородатый дядя, «вывезли все». Многие люди, которые ждали Россию, думали, что когда она придет, сменятся только флаги, да еще повысят зарплаты и пенсии. Но реальность оказалась другой - россияне выбрасывают местных жителей из их квартир. Вселяются силой, меняют замки и живут на месте изгнанных мариупольцев.

L’intervista completa di Francesca Albanese a OPEN – quella in cui dice di essere contro l’invio di armi all’Ucraina – è persino peggio della clip già uscita. Mentana le fa notare che senza armi l’Ucraina capitola, la Russia vince e si crea un precedente pericoloso. Lei risponde che quel precedente «lo hanno già creato gli Stati Uniti». Non è vero. Ma anche se lo fosse? Andrebbe bene lasciare che l’Ucraina capitoli?? Poi, quando le viene ricordato che gli Alleati armarono i partigiani italiani contro l’invasore, replica: «Allora diamo le armi ai palestinesi». Non ho davvero parole. Infine insinua che le armi all’Ucraina non servano semplicemente a difenderla dalla Russia, ma che la guerra serva a destabilizzare l’Europa – ovviamente per mano di USA e NATO. L’aggressore è russo. Ma alla fine la responsabilità torna sempre altrove. E tutto questo non mi sorprende. Basta guardare chi frequenta, e con loro cosa sta organizzando a livello «transnazionale». Queste posizioni diventeranno sempre più esplicite. Nei prossimi giorni vedremo perché.

Putin once more blames the West for starting the war: "We did not want to fight and did not start fighting; rather, a war was brought upon us." "There was no need for NATO to begin military development of our historical territories in the interest of the organization itself and to plan bases there." Comment from me: Of course, these are all lies. Russia carries the blame entirely for starting the war of aggression in 2014 and then launching a full-scale invasion in 2022. Putin wants to present the war as an existential event when it was, in fact, his conscious and unprovoked choice. Impunity pushed Russia towards more aggression.
