    Politician expects Ukrainian army to focus on Zaporozhye after Russia’s Kherson pullback

    It is noted that one of the goals is to seize the nuclear power plant
    MELITOPOL, November 10. /TASS/. The Ukrainian Armed Forces will focus on the Zaporozhye Region following Russia’s withdrawal from the right bank of the Dnieper River, Chairman of the We Stand With Russia movement Vladimir Rogov told TASS on Thursday.

    "The Zaporozhye direction is becoming a priority. Our enemy is sending forces there and it will also redeploy troops that will become available in the Kherson area. Why here? One of the goals is to seize the nuclear power plant," he said.

    According to Rogov, Ukrainian troops stationed in the Kiev-controlled part of the Zaporozhye Region have already received dozens of armored boats, while over 700 Special Operations Forces members have been trained to seize a major technological facility on the banks of the Dnieper River.

    "Our task is to prepare as much as possible for their offensive and breakthrough attempts, because we do not have much time," Rogov added.

    The politician also praised the activities of artillery units, aircraft and motorized infantry "in the areas of Gulyaipole, Novodanilovka and Malye Shcherbaki and attacks on targets in the suburbs of the city of Zaporozhye."

    On November 9, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu ordered that Russian troops be pulled from the right bank of the Dnieper River back to the left bank based on a suggestion by Army General Sergey Surovikin, chief of the Russian military operation in Ukraine. Surovikin pointed out that Russian troops were successfully thwarting Ukrainian attacks and one of the reasons for withdrawing was the risk that if areas downstream from the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant got flooded, the Russian forces would be isolated. According to him, all civilians who wanted to leave the area - over 115,000 people - have been relocated from the right bank.

    EU reluctant to issue visas to holders of Russian passports issued in certain regions

    It is reported that this decision aims to set out a common approach, ensure the proper functioning of the external border and common visa policies and safeguard the security of EU member states

    BRUSSELS, November 10. /TASS/. The Council of the European Union and the European Parliament have reached a provisional agreement to not accept Russian travel documents issued in the former regions of Ukraine that have joined Russia, as well as in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, according to a statement published on the European Council’s website on Thursday.

    "Russian travel documents issued in, or to residents of, Russian-occupied regions in Ukraine or breakaway territories in Georgia will not be accepted as valid travel documents for obtaining a visa or crossing the borders of the Schengen area," the statement reads.

    According to the statement, the agreed text will have to go through a formal adoption procedure by all EU members. The European Council added that "Russian travel documents issued in these regions are already not recognized, or in the process of not being recognized, by EU member states."

    "This decision aims to set out a common approach, ensure the proper functioning of the external border and common visa policies and safeguard the security of EU member states," the statement said.

    From September 23 to September 27, the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) and the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR), as well as the Kherson Region and the Zaporozhye Region, held a referendum where the majority of voters opted to join Russia. On September 30, Russian President Vladimir Putin and the heads of the DPR and the LPR, the Zaporozhye and Kherson Regions signed treaties on their accession to Russia. On October 4, Putin signed laws ratifying the treaties.

    This is rarely mentioned in mainstream media, but the fact is that most people are keenly aware that military aid to Ukraine and sanctions against Russia are driving hyperinflation.
    Huge protests in Italy against those policies. This is a test for Italy's new prime minister Meloni's who had promised to listen to the people.

    Fascinating talker, and a stylish presenter. And what a wild statement with that hairpiece! She has some kind of moxie or mojo or something.

    I used the YT English captions, and got the meaning of more than half the words. Germany and me go back a ways, ‘89 back to ‘67, different length stays. I don’t care enough to properly attend and study the language, but this was a cool nostalgia trip. Thank you. ~8D

    Russia bars entry to 200 US citizens — Russian Foreign Ministry

    Among others, US President Joe Biden’s sister and two brothers, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, and Paul Pelosi, the husband of Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, have been put on the Russian ‘stop list’

    MOSCOW, November 11. /TASS/. Russia is imposing entry bans on 200 US nationals as a retaliatory measure, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Friday.

    "In response to the new individual sanctions that are being continually imposed by the Biden administration not only on Russian officials, business and public officials, and cultural figures but also on those who for one reason or another do not please Washington, a reciprocal ban on entering the Russian Federation is imposed against 200 US citizens," the statement said.

    Among others, US President Joe Biden’s sister and two brothers, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, and Paul Pelosi, the husband of Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, have been put on the Russian ‘stop list’.

    In addition, sanctions have been slapped on Christopher Cavoli, Commander of the US European Command and Supreme Allied Commander Europe, and four US under secretaries of defense and US Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland.

    MAKSIMYCHEV: Why Africa should worried of Nazism revival
    Nazi ideology was a result of long tradition of European white supremacist philosophy.


    Now, it’s official. The collective West, or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization member countries if you will, has dropped its fig leaf and stopped pretending to be a democratic and progressive force.

    On November 4, 2022, they all voted against a United Nations General Assembly resolution on “Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fueling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance”.

    That means that they are for the glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to racism, xenophobia and intolerance.

    In fact, the sane international community (including the overwhelming majority of Africa who voted for the resolution) should thank NATO countries for this glorious “coming-out”!

    Now, we all know exactly with whom we are dealing when we see the EU, UK, US, Japan, Canada and the like.

    Over the last few years, we witnessed with fear and disgust the revival of Nazism in the West, especially in Europe. Until last Friday, there was still hope that they would come to senses. But now they finally crossed the Rubicon.

    Let us not forget that Nazism and Fascism were not a uniquely German phenomenon but an almost universal feature of Europe.

    And now they want to vindicate this shameful page of their history by rewriting it and vilifying the real heroes, who saved, at a tragically high price, the world from the scourge of Nazism – the peoples of the Soviet Union, of course, with the support of the US, UK and other allies.

    This explains the hysterical and frenetic support they are giving to the racist and genocidal Ukrainian regime in Kiev and their thug storm troopers covered by tattoos with swastikas and portraits of Adolf Hitler.

    Those Nazis with a well-evidenced and documented record of crimes against humanity for many years have been the recipients of copious political, financial, and military support from the US, EU and the rest of NATO countries, as their asset that they intended to use as a battering ram against Russia.

    At the same time, across Europe they started a foul and loathsome campaign of desecration and demolitions of the war monuments to the heroes of the Red Army on war cemeteries where hundreds of thousands of Soviet soldiers rest who gave their lives to stop the Nazi beast. Six hundred thousands soldiers died for the liberation of Poland alone.

    Can there be a more shameless demonstration of depravity, moral decay and degradation?

    My Kenyan friends will ask, “Why should Africans worry about Nazis in Europe thousands of miles away from them?” And I will say that the revival of Nazism should very much worry Africa because inevitably it will bring back colonial rule to the continent.

    The Nazi ideology did not come from nowhere. It was a result of a long tradition and evolution of European racist and white supremacist philosophy that for centuries dominated the Western thought.

    Otherwise how could they justify colonialism with its slave trade, exploitation and genocide? Do not forget that the last “human zoo” displaying Africans in cages like wild animals was still in operation as late as 1958 in Brussels (currently EU capital).

    The liberation of Africa from colonial domination would not have been possible without the victory of the Soviet Union over Nazi Germany. It is our country that actually pushed, despite strong resistance from the colonialists, the UN resolution on the granting of independence to colonial countries and peoples in 1960.

    Africans remember the assistance that the Soviet Union provided to them in their struggle for freedom, and later in their quest for independent development.

    The latest disgraceful vote in the UN clearly indicates the looming danger of a full-scale revival of Nazism in NATO member countries.

    It also shows that they have learned and understood nothing from their own history, and may very well try another attempt to rule the world on the basis of their supremacy, especially given the unfolding global economic crisis of their own making.

    The recent racial strife in the US and Europe only proves that systemic racism is still alive in that part of the world.

    Therefore, my dear friends, Africa should be very much concerned.

    I confirm this. (There are other unpleasant things to be said about Belgian colonial rule, but this suffices for today.)

    When my parents and I visited the World exhibition in Brussels in ’58, we did not go and visit this terrible "exhibit". That may not have been intentional: there was a lot their 8-year old son wanted to see (the Sputnik in the Soviet pavilion!) and time was scarce.

    I heard about this revolting "idea" fifty (!) years later, when in the beginning of this millennium official racism of the Belgian State finally became center focus of younger historians in academia.

    Terrible as it was, it did not end there. The poor men and women and children with black skin were treated so badly that more than just a majority became ill in the "moderate" climate and when "shipped" back home many of them did not survive the experience.

    (Two years later, the first “socialist” Prime Minister of by then independent Congo Patrice Lumumba was – at American behest – kidnapped, tortured, shot and chopped to mincemeat – with the help of a few Belgian specialists of such treatment.)
