This explain the English hate towards Russia...
How the English once planned to seize the Russian North
This turned out to be a detached event recovered in the library:
In the latter half of 1612, a dispatch was sent to London with a detailed account of events in Russia. The probable author of the document was Captain Thomas Chamberlain.
The English plans to take advantage of the ‘Time of Troubles’ to “subjugate” the Russian North were unknown until 1914. The Chamberlain plan was discovered in British archives by a Russian historian named Inna Lubimenko.
It never amounted to much of anything.
However, starting with the same King in the 1600s, there is British Israelism:
Anglo-Israelism has also been attributed to King James VI and I, who believed he was the King of Israel.
The extent to which the British clergy became aware of the existence of the movement may be gauged by the comment which Cardinal John Henry Newman (1801–1890) made when he was asked why he had left the Church of England in 1845 in order to join the Roman Catholic Church. He said that there was a very real danger that the movement "would take over the Church of England."
Judged by the same Book:
It might be helpful to mention one example of the kind of teaching often used to support Anglo-Israelite views. In The United States and Britain in Prophecy, Ezekiel 21:27 is quoted to prove that God would overturn the throne of David three times, transferring it each time to a new location. The theory is that the first overturning transferred the throne from Jerusalem to Ireland, the second to Scotland, and the third, under King James, to England. Therefore the British monarch is an alleged descendant of King David.
Where people these days have a hardcore belief in Ezekiel 38:
Russia will invade Israel in the End Times.
I am thinking that throughout the 1700s there were some Fundamentalists and Pentecostals in England who due to the above simply hated Russia. Then Lord Palmerston more or less announced it as public policy around 1830, that everyone should go and hate them.
Here is the same idea from Lydia Lee, Theology Dept., U-S. Africa:
Reagan was far from alone in his belief of the Russian-Gog's invasion in Israel or the USA. Mein (2013:136) notes that the attempt to associate Gog with Russia had already begun in 19th-century Britain, as a result of the 'competing interests' between Britain and Russia in Central Asia. This Russophobia was compounded by an exegetical 'preference for the Septuagint version of 38:1', which treats the Hebrew שׁאר not as a common noun, that is 'head' or 'chief', but as the proper name 'Rhos' that was then connected with 'Rus' and Russia (Mein 2013:137). Boyer (1992:162) further contextualises Reagan's identification of Gog as Russia in 'the stream of apocalyptic teaching about Russia that had coursed through American popular religion for well over a century'.
For the Bills that appear in Congress now, I do not find anything that would require militancy, but there is another attempt at extortion in this little gem, H 535:
(1) IN GENERAL.—None of the funds authorized to be appropriated or otherwise made available to any Federal department or agency may be used to provide assistance for the central government of a country that the Secretary of State determines and reports to the appropriate congressional committees—
if you believe the new Russian territories are Russia.

Sounds like the beginning of a chance for negotiations. Will this be derailed by the UK/USA/NATO war mongers?

Here, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs report on the humanitarian situation in Ukraine. A 59 page PDF file - Part 1 - which can be downloaded here. This (Part 1) contains over 80 references as well; it's thorough as one might expect.

The Human Rights Situation in Ukraine
Report of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation
Foreword
This report is a follow-up on the Ministry's efforts to bring the international community’s attention to the difficult human rights situation in Ukraine, which has significantly deteriorated over the past year. This is confirmed by the many cases on record of grave human rights violations in all spheres of public life, as well as the unwillingness to take action to improve the situation on the part of those who call themselves the country's leaders.
At the same time, it is definitely worth mentioning that the large number of problems in Ukraine have been observed by numerous international human rights monitoring mechanisms, as well as international and Ukrainian non-governmental human rights organisations. All of them have noted the systemic nature of human rights violations in Ukraine and noted with concern that the authorities should pay close attention to the identified problems and deploy significant efforts to resolve them.
However, the events confirm the Ukrainian leadership’s inability to even go through the motions and attempt to address serious human rights violations. Such actions of the Kiev regime once again illustrate its lack of independence. In fact, Kiev is a neo-Nazi regime that is acting upon the instructions of external sponsors to create an anti-Russia project from its own country. The sole purpose of this entity is to serve as a source of tension in the immediate vicinity of Russia’s borders despite destroying its own statehood in the process. It is precisely because of the obsequious readiness of the current Ukrainian government to deny everything that bounds it to Russia and, to the detriment of the interests of their people, to destroy the history and memory of the real rather than fictional past of their country, that the overseas sponsors turn a blind eye to its neo-Nazi nature and nudge it to follow the path of self-destruction.
--------
This can also be read via their site here
--------
Extracted from page/s 3 and 4, none of which comes as any surprise to forum members or similarly educated viewers out there:
A number of researchers have rightly noted that the Kiev regime underwent a
political mutation in 2022. The environment that it created in the wake of the
martial law allowed it to build an authoritarian rule in that country which can be
described as an absolute monopoly on power, out-of-court reprisals, tough
censorship, liquidation of almost all independent media and the destruction of
political opposition, total state propaganda, an active search for traitors and
fictional Russian spies and saboteurs. Having adopted the ideology and practices of
the Ukrainian national radicals, the current regime has, in fact, degenerated into a
neo-Nazi dictatorship.
This kind of a regime needs a state of war and the widespread use of reprisals as
the only and, at the same time, the surest way to preserve its domination. It will
exist as long as a high degree of escalation in society is maintained, armed
confrontation with an external enemy continues, and most importantly, widespread
Western assistance, primarily military, is provided. Acting along the lines of this
logic, such a regime will exist only as long as it maintains this degree of escalation
in society and is at war with an external enemy. The end of the war for such a
regime means the end of its existence.
Overall, the situation with promoting and protecting human rights in Ukraine has
become critical. The right to freedom and personal inviolability is regularly
infringed upon in that country. There are numerous facts of illegal arrests and
subsequent detention, torture, intimidation, and inhuman and cruel treatment that
are aimed, among other things, at forcing the people in custody to confess their
guilt.
The persecution of political opponents, independent journalists and media
companies as well as members of public organisations that are objectionable to the
authorities, which, as a rule, comes amid claims about the importance of combating
“Russian aggression” and “separatism”, has acquired unprecedented proportions.
To this end, the Kiev authorities actively engage members of radical nationalist
organisations who often break the law, but always go unpunished.
The rights of internally displaced persons (IDPs), the Russian-speaking people and
representatives of ethnic minorities, of whom there are many among the IDPs,
have been restricted. Kiev’s campaign against the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox
Church has reached a new level in terms of cynicism and hypocrisy. It has now
taken the form of a total ban on the UOC, including Zelenskiy regime’s decision to
evict its clergy from the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra.
The problem of corruption, which is deeply rooted in the Ukrainian state, remains
unresolved. The measures declared by the Kiev authorities to combat it, including
the creation of relevant specialised entities, turn out ineffective in practice. Juan
Pablo Bohoslavsky, an independent expert from the UN Human Rights Council on
foreign debt and human rights, pointed out the state of affairs in this sphere at the
end of his official visit to Ukraine in May 2018.1 The Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights also noted the scale of corruption in April 2014 2 and the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women noted it in February 2017. According to CEDAW experts, corruption, as well as rising unemployment, declining standards of living and the ongoing crisis create favourable conditions for widespread human trafficking.3

Ukrainian commander laments state of army – El Pais 24 Apr, 2023
Kiev needs up to six times more troops and firepower than Russia for its counteroffensive to succeed, General Sergey Melnik says
Kiev needs more troops, ammunition and equipment to continue its military conflict with Moscow, Ukrainian Brigadier General Sergey Melnik told Spain’s El Pais in an interview published on Monday. Ukraine has already lost most of its professional soldiers as the conflict drags on, he admitted.
“The problem is that we have a lack of people and equipment,” said the general, who commands troops near the Russian border in Kharkov Region. “Professional soldiers… are already exhausted, injured or recovering. Or… dead,” he added.
Melnik said Kiev is now relying on “people without military experience,” who first need to be trained and have an “adequate [level of] preparation to face the enemy.” According to El Pais, the general also “stressed several times during the interview” that Ukraine needs more air-defense systems, citing the threat posed by Russian aircraft.
He also admitted that Kiev’s forces would need to gain massive superiority in manpower and firepower if they are to have any hope of succeeding with a planned counteroffensive. Ukraine will need “four to six times” as many troops as Moscow has fielded in its ongoing military campaign if it is to break through the defenses built by the Russian forces in their current positions, he told El Pais.

Poland seizes Russian embassy and trade mission funds 26 Apr, 2023
Moscow’s envoy has called the move a “flagrant violation” of the Vienna Convention
https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/files/2023.04/...748154c009.jpg
All the money in the accounts of the Russian embassy and trade office in Warsaw has been seized by the Polish prosecutor’s office, Ambassador Sergey Andreyev revealed on Wednesday.
“We received a notification from the prosecutor’s office that the funds from the Santander Bank accounts of the embassy and the trade representation were transferred to the accounts of the prosecutor’s office,” Andreyev told RIA Novosti.
Santander Bank then informed the embassy that it had “ceased cooperation” with the Russian government and closed the accounts, Andreyev added. There were “significant amounts” of both US dollars and Polish zlotys in both accounts, according to the diplomat.
Andreyev called the incident “a flagrant violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations,” the 1961 treaty governing the rights and responsibilities of diplomats.
The Polish authorities had previously frozen the embassy account, citing suspicions that it might be involved in “money laundering or terrorism.” When this prevented the embassy from paying the lease on a recreational facility near Warsaw, the Polish authorities terminated the lease and seized the property in November 2022.
Another property, a residence on 100 Sobieski Street, was seized last spring. Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski said at the time it should be handed to refugees from Ukraine. The Polish foreign ministry said the building was “illegally owned” by the embassy as it was not being used for diplomatic or consular purposes. The embassy’s explanation, that the building was unfit for occupancy as it needed repairs, was ignored.
Poland has also sought to confiscate the embassy-operated school in Warsaw, citing the same pretext. The Russian Foreign Ministry has protested both seizures as a flagrant violation of international law.
Many EU and NATO countries have expelled dozens of Russian diplomats after the Ukraine conflict escalated in February 2022, but most did not go so far as to sever relations with Moscow. The US and its allies have insisted they are not actually involved in the conflict, even while they sent Kiev over $100 billion worth of weapons and financial aid.

Poland looking for conflict 'with all its neighbors' – Russia's top spy 26 Apr, 2023
Warsaw is drilling for war with NATO-ally Germany, Sergey Naryshkin has claimed :loco:
Warsaw is not just looking at taking a bite out of Ukraine, but preparing for a hypothetical conflict with fellow NATO member Germany, according to the head of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), Sergey Naryshkin.
Naryshkin pointed to a military exercise conducted at the end of March near the city of Szczecin, on the German-Polish border. The drills, code-named ‘Daglezja’ (Douglas fir), involved three Polish brigades dealing with “military aggression” from an unnamed neighbor to the west.
Polish troops practiced destroying bridges, erecting barricades and mining the roads along the border with Germany, the SVR said.
This kind of military planning reflects Warsaw’s growing “anti-German sentiments and fears about possible revanchist claims of Berlin,” according to the Russian intelligence head. The “suspicion” towards the NATO ally to the west is parallel to Poland’s ongoing territorial aspirations towards its former “eastern borderlands,” now part of Ukraine.
“Today’s Poland is turning into what it was in the times of Jozef Pilsudski, when Warsaw was in conflict with all its neighbors and longed for territorial expansion,” Naryshkin said in a statement. “Such was the Poland that [British PM] Winston Churchill aptly called ‘the hyena of Europe’ on the eve of the Second World War.”
Naryshkin had previously suggested that Warsaw harbored designs on Ukrainian territory, which Poland denied, accusing the Russian official of waging information warfare.
Although both countries are members of the US-led NATO, last October Warsaw demanded more than €1.3 trillion in WWII reparations from Berlin, and appealed to the UN for help in January, after Germany refused.
Visiting the US earlier this month, Polish PM Mateusz Morawiecki declared that Warsaw wanted to build “the strongest army in Europe” and offered to serve as a hub for the expanded US military presence on the continent.
