    The latest from the Duran:
    • Russians are bombing around Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city, which has a majority of Russian speakers. They have taken out the power plant. This maybe a prelude for a Russian invasion of the city.

    • Ukrainians have stopped trying to shoot down Russian missiles. Their defense system is destroyed here. About the best they can do is shoot at Russian drones.

    • Russians are extending the front line, which makes is harder for Ukranians, with their reduced numbers, to defend.

    • There are rumors that the Russians could take Kharkiv this summer, but of course Russians want to keep Ukraine and NATO in the dark about what their final strategy will be.

    • The Duran: Russia is DESTROYING Ukraine's Army and Macron, NATO Want WWIII:

    The Duran's Alexander Mercouris and Alex Christoforou react to the latest admissions of Ukraine's coming defeat to Russia and how this has sparked desperation among NATO member state leaders such as Emmanuel Macron to clamor for a total war scenario. This video breaks down the truth behind the Western mainstream media spin.

    Yes, this is all actually very interesting indeed and I'd mentioned Berkut further back in this thread along with the 'plan'. I need to dig deeper into it and try and obtain further resources but it of course does make sense, with the obsessive focus being attributed Ukraine by the Western Zionists, is in many ways 'the key': however, Vladimir Putin - as a baptised Orthodox Christian (not Jewish, and neither is Zelensky (Zionist)) is rather ruining their plans, somewhat

    Ole Vlad: he's certainly upset a lot of powerful Western leader people hasn't he, including Larry Fink (BlackRock) - no doubt about that. He (Fink) may 'own' parts of so-called Ukraine but what if those territories become a part of Russia again. Has Larry got an army? (NATO doesn't count; NATO is a vegetable)

    Attempted assassination of Vasily Prozorov

    For those unsure Vasily Prozorov is a former SBU (Ukrainian intelligence) operative and some years ago, for ideological reasons switched sides and now works with Russian intelligence counterparts. He is also the founder of UKR Leaks website which has proven a very helpful resource in terms of better understanding certain historical backgrounds and exposures on how the Ukrainian services work. He's also been a very outspoken critic of the regime in Kiev; is likely as not on the Myrotvorets 'hit list' sponsored out of Langley, and may explain the attempt on his life, which he thankfully escaped, earlier today.

    From DDGeopolitics:
    🇷🇺The car of ex-SBU Vasiliy Prozorov exploded in Moscow today. Since 2014, ex-SBU officer Prozorov has assisted Russian forces in obtaining information about the progress of the ATO in Eastern Ukraine: ‘I made a decision to cooperate with the Russian intelligence services voluntarily for ideological reasons’

    Vasiliy was injured but survived.

    ➡️Vasiliy tried to start the SUV, turned the key in the ignition and there was an explosion;

    ➡️He reportedly injured his legs and left arm, and was hospitalized;

    ➡️The explosion damaged the cars parked nearby Infiniti;

    ➡️A criminal case has been opened

    Dramatic footage of the assassination attempt on Vasily Prozorov

    The first video shows the moment of the detonation - you see him getting into the car:



    Here's the car in the aftermath:



    ...and here's Vasily:
    "UKRAINIAN OPERATION FAILED! I AM ALIVE AND WELL

    I have no doubt that the terrorist Kiev regime is behind today’s assassination attempt. But nothing worked out for them. I am alive and well and will continue to expose the crimes of the Ukrainian authorities.

    Special thanks to all caring people who expressed words of support. I appreciate it very much."


    In other news too, and I suspect closely related: Russell "Texas" Bentley former US serviceman who has devoted the last 10 years of his life to fight alongside the Donbass militias, and simultaneously working as a journalist documenting the region during that whole time (since 2014), has apparently "gone missing", since April 8th. I've no doubt he's a target for the Ukrainian authorities - we await any update on his wellbeing

    The head scratcher for me, seeing the population replacement policy acted out inside Ukraine by the puppeteers of Ukraine, has been lining that up with Putin's denazification mission. The first wave of 'depopulated' WAS the hard core nazi cannon fodder. ( or have we been deceived about that )

    Stopping refugee buses from crossing to Russia, forced conscription and female recruitment came later. I'm still scratching.

    Or, mayby when Putin says denazification he's really talking about a worldwide operation and at the level of expensive suits.

    Exclamation Re: WW3? Ukraine/US vs. Donbass/Russia

    • How Thousands Of Ukrainian Men Are Trying To Dodge The Conflict:

    • For all new people coming here in this particular Project Avalon Forum Thread ... I made a super simplified summary of a very complex issue.
    Let's begin:

    NATO/CIA/EU are responsible for pushing mass suicide missions ... sacrificing 100,000s Ukrainian fathers, uncles, sons, husbands etc. and many are forced to fight for a totally corrupt undemocratic tyrants that hijacked the country!

    What we all have learned by now is that tanks/armored vehicles are useless in any 2023/2024 war ... Because of much cheaper weaponized drones warfare! (Easier to mass produce).

    And maybe USA/UK/Germany (NATO) knows that and want to get rid of the old stuff, dumping it in Ukraine calling it : "help" to fight for "Democracy" = double deception & insanity! ... All done to eventually invest new generation warfare equipment of all kinds domestically ... (Semi-) autonomous future A.I. warfare included.
    • I know the chance of the following scenario ever to going to happen is extremely slim (near zero!) but hear me out:
    Imagine if Zelensky decides to confess he was/is paid & manipulated by the totally corrupt part of NATO with certain "promises", he admits he FEARS for his life and the safety of his loved ones because of the Ukrainian Neo-Nazis called AZOF Brigade having a track record of killing 1000s of Russian Civilians in the 2010s up to now violating the Minsk Agreements.

    That was KNOWN even reported by the western mass media, but refusing to call it provoking a War with Russia! ... Mass media admitting multiple times on record (before the war started) that Ukraine is the most corrupt nation of all nations, Eurasia (Europe/Asia).

    Admitting he knew Ukraine has no chance of winning but rely heavily on becoming a "NATO member" >>> even if that becomes a reality, there is no guarantee that "all goes well" for humanity as a whole! ... Meaning: WW3 will start with global mutual nuclear destruction as a result.

    Imagine he admits crushing all Ukrainian dissenting voices, including all common sense people in Ukraine! ... dismantling all kinds of Ukrainian: opposition, media, multiple democratic political parties in Ukraine which is obvious the opposite of "Defending Democracy".

    On top of all that, Ukrainian adult males (that are not represented anymore) were forced to use weapons in a totally useless, hopless, unwinnable war! ... And many Russian soldiers/officers KNOWS THAT ... that is why they show countless videos how they treat Ukrainian soldiers waving a white flag to surrender with great respect & decency! <<< but you will not see that in any pro-NATO Western Media, they do not care about the unrepresented Ukrainians being sacrificed to serve a bigger "New World Order" plan.

    How many Ukrainian children lost their: father, brother & uncle ... Fathers losing their sons NOT because they were against Russia, but they were not represented anymore and FORCED to join the totally insane war PUSHED by all Pro-NATO mass media worldwide! <<< in my view, they all have blood on their hands!

    Remember Hillary Clinton repeating over and over the blatant lie that what the Russians did was so called: "unprovoked" and how the mass media only promotes a certain narrative to push Ukraine over the cliff!

    How much of the billions of US/EU Tax money spend in Ukraine was not spent for the Ukrainians at all!

    Imagine if Zelensky will expose it all and tell the truth for a change,"even asking for forgiveness" that 100,000s died needlessly. 100,000s of fathers, brothers, sons, uncles, husbands.

    After confessing all that, Zelensky will not survive that not only because of the totally ruthless Ukrainian Neo-Nazis AZOF Brigade, but he will most likely be killed by the rage of almost all (unrepresented) Ukrainians! ... and maybe he knows that!
    • In my view, the biggest systematic push of a tunnel vision "Russia Phobia" narratives started, when Hillary Clinton openly threatened to use Nuclear weapons if Russia "interferes" with the 2016 elections on multiple levels ... not mentioning that anything can be considered "interference" even TELLING THE TRUTH via RT dot com or RT on YouTube ... Hillary Clinton quote: "We Are Losing The Information War"
    • The ultra hypocrisy of The USA is extreme harrowing knowing how they manipulated almost all elections in all countries worldwide!
    • So when a different source other than western Mainstream Media sharing hard verifiable truths & facts that HAVE an impact on how people think & judge how they are "governed" >>> will be seen as an "election intervention" even if it is 100% the truth that is exposed!
    • Many hard hitting uncovered truths that have been shared on RT (Russia Today) were ALREADY shared on Alex Jones's infowars and countless other American based independent alternative media outlets ... Most, if not all were originally investigated & exposed by Americans not Russians >>> the moment RT used some of it Hillary claimed that is "proof" that Alternative Media is spreading "Russian Propaganda" WHICH IS A BLATANT LIE! ... It was RT using real independent research done by Americans and HELPS better understand how we all get scrwed on this (fcked up) planet done by lying psychopathic control freaks & dystopian technocrats.

    Insights from a Polish mercenary in Ukraine
    Source: Defence 24 Magazine - Poland

    Yes, this is very interesting, and very long so I'm not going to copy the article here. This summary via InfoDefenceENGLISH does a neat job of picking up on some of what Michal Lipski shared. The interview is with Defence24 Magazine and published in Polish.

    Article title: Hostomel is remembered only by me [INTERVIEW]
    Interviewer: Maciej Szopa
    Published: April 7th, 2024

    Summary
    About Americans
    Americans are not suited for full-scale wars but can manage conflict scenarios like in Afghanistan or Iraq where they have clear advantages. They are inflexible and strictly follow set protocols, making them predictable.

    About the Azov Fighters
    In late 2022, our unit was replaced by the Azov fighters from the 3rd "non-assault TikTok brigade" in Kleshcheevka. The village we held for one and a half months was lost in a day by them.

    About Mobilized Ukrainians
    The training quality of mobilized Ukrainians is inadequate, affecting their readiness and effectiveness. Basic training is subpar, leading to poorly prepared recruits, some of whom are unaware of basic equipment like gunsights. There is a noticeable lack of motivation, with many motivated individuals already dead.

    About Local Attitudes
    In Donbas, local reactions vary significantly. For example, during our entry into Bakhmut in July 2022, locals initially mistook the Polish flag on our IFV for the Russian flag and showed positive reactions, but this changed upon recognizing Ukrainian flags.

    This confession of a Polish mercenary (https://defence24.pl/wojna-na-ukrain...ylko-ja-wywiad) details the complexities of Ukraine's conflict and the role of foreign forces. It shows a clear discrepancy between perceived and real military capabilities, as seen with the Americans and quickly defeated Azov fighters. The confession questions the true costs and beneficiaries of the war, highlighted by local responses to foreign troops.

    It encourages critical thinking about the motives of these conflicts - whether they serve geopolitical goals or benefit those profiting from the war. The narrative also emphasizes the human costs, often eclipsed by wider geopolitical interests, urging ongoing scrutiny of the war's justification and beneficiaries.
    I've produced an English translation PDF which sits here in our library as well

    More from Vasily Nebenzia who is beginning to sound more strident than usual of late. This is a verbal Iskander:

    Source: https://t.me/Slavyangrad/94413

    Text:
    Russia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Nebenzya - at a Security Council meeting:

    "I would like to say the following to our Western colleagues: in your Russophobic frenzy, indulging your brainchild, the Kiev regime, you have raised a monster. Its activity is no longer limited to Ukraine proper, where the Zelensky clique has usurped power and, having suppressed dissent, is committing lawlessness against its own citizens, openly mocking the memory of the victims of German Nazism and glorifying its accomplices.

    Its terrorist tentacles are already openly visible outside Ukraine. And if today problems in this connection arise in Russia, it does not mean that tomorrow they will not reach somewhere else. After all, the Ukrainian leader has already lost touch with reality and is no longer able to adequately assess it.

    Not just in an hour, and your Frankenstein may turn on you in impotent anger at your inability to reverse the situation at the front and in the face of imminent defeat. And you have provided him with enough weapons and everything else for that."

    Default Re: WW3? Ukraine/US vs. Donbass/Russia

    Following my earlier post today here's Vassily Nebenzia's full statement delivered yesterday, April 12th:

    Statement by Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia at UNSC briefing on Western arms deliveries to Ukraine - April 12th, 2024

    Source: Russian Permanent Mission at the UNSC
    Mme.President,

    Somehow, I do not spot here our colleagues from the European Union who usually rush to inscribe on speakers’ lists of meetings on Ukraine that convene at the request of our Western partners.

    The Kiev regime started to be pumped full with Western weapons at least 10 years ago. At first, this was done secretly, under the cover of the Minsk Agreements, and the corresponding Western activity was not publicized and was even denied. Now, however, all this has come to the surface and is not even concealed. Thanks to high-profile journalist investigations, we have learned that immediately after the anti-constitutional coup in Kiev in 2014, CIA deployed in Ukraine an extensive network of intelligence centers located right on the Russian borders.

    Once the special military operation began, this (at least very provocative) activity started to be presented as a noble cause in defiance of elementary logic. Sure enough, what’s wrong with arming one state against its neighbor for years and indulging its openly hostile course against it? After all, this is a usual tactic of colonizers, who for decades have pitted neighboring peoples in Africa, Asia and Latin America against each other, armed them and profited from their wars. They did not invent anything new in the 21st century. Today Ukraine is their victim and Russia is their target. This is the real background of the Ukrainian crisis, which assumed a hot phase in February 2022.

    We explained many times why we had to start the special military operation. Whoever wanted to hear us has heard us, whoever does not want to will never do. However, even our Western colleagues now use the word "unprovoked" in relation to our actions way less frequently. Given what we have learned and seen over the past two-plus years about the Western role in the Ukrainian tragedy, such statements simply do not stand up to scrutiny. In fact, today the collective West has completely different concerns, the main of which is to keep afloat the Zelensky clique, which is rapidly losing power in the country and suffering an obvious military defeat. Zelensky already squandered whatever weapons, equipment and ammunition he had. Even though it becomes increasingly difficult for Western sponsors to help him and turn a blind eye to his doings, Western weapons are still flowing in. At the same time, Western elites find it more and more problematic keeping silent about the rampant corruption in Ukraine, the lack of control and accountability of the supplied equipment and ammunition and, consequently, the serious risks of their falling in the hands of terrorists. To overshadow this ugly truth they allege that arms supplies help Ukraine defend its independence in the face of Russian aggression.

    Is it really so? What is it that today's Ukraine (which the West has been molding into an "anti-Russia" for 10 years now) really wants? We all remember how exactly two years ago, after organizing an inhumane and utterly deceitful provocation in Bucha, Ukraine rejected – under pressure from its Western masters – its best chance at peace since Zelensky had trampled on the Minsk Agreements. Western sponsors assured the Kiev regime that with their support and weapons Ukraine could defeat Russia. The Kiev leader remained under this delusion until recently. But by this moment, he too has changed his rhetoric, saying that Ukraine will lose without Western weapons and more visible intervention. Following up on that, the West has also redrafted its goals. Now the goal is to "keep Russia from winning." I go into this detail to illustrate the conclusion of many experts that it is Western arms supplies that keep the Ukrainian conflict from ending with peace. This is what our briefer, Ms. Karen Kwiatkowski just spoke about.

    If Ukraine wanted peace, it would have achieved it long ago. Our justified and reasonable demands to our neighbor, which stand at the core of the SMO, are well known, and Ukraine is perfectly able to meet them without compromising its sovereignty and statehood. The fact that Germany had to part with Nazism and Japan - with militarism did not make these states disappear. So why can't Ukraine do this, while ceasing to discriminate against the Russian language and its speakers, in strict accordance with European values?

    The answer to this question is very simple. Washington, London and Brussels do not need a Ukraine, which would be friends with Russia. It is not for that ending that they have been investing in it for the past 10 years.

    As a result, while losing on the battlefield, Ukraine is turning into an openly terrorist state, and I would like to elaborate on this.

    We have said on many occasions that Ukrainian armed forces attack civilian objects inside Russia thanks to supplies of Western-made artillery and long-range rockets. In the first three months of this year, the UAF fired 22,000 rounds of ammunition, which killed 201 civilians. But you are not going to find any information about this in Western media or even hear a word of condemnation from our Western colleagues in this chamber. Suffice it to recall the targeted shelling of peaceful areas of Belgorod from Czech-supplied MRLS that occurred on New Year's Eve. That did not cause any criticism in the West.

    But Ukraine wants more, and so it has turned to the tactic of terrorist attacks. This is how the Kiev leadership tries to divert public attention from the disastrous situation of Ukrainian troops on the frontline, and also to prove to Western masters its ability to harm Russia.

    Everyone is aware of such crimes of the Kiev regime as the murders of journalist Darya Dugina, and warzone correspondent Vladlen Tatarsky, the bombing of the Crimean Bridge, and the downing of an airplane carrying Ukrainian PoWs.

    However, the heinous terrorist attack on March 22 in the Crocus City Hall in Krasnogorsk (Moscow Region) takes a special place in this series of crimes. Today I would like to share with you the preliminary results of investigation. Let me underscore the main point. Already at this stage, there is no doubt about the direct involvement of Ukraine in this horrendous and ruthless crime. The tracks of those who ordered it, as we can reasonably assert, lead to Kiev.

    I will recover the timeline for you. On March 22, a Russian rock band was to perform at the Crocus City Hall. Four terrorists carrying firearms broke into the building right before the performance at 19:58. On their way to the music venue, they cold-bloodedly shot innocent people who had come to the event, firing at them point-blank. After they made it to the music venue, they set the seats on fire and continued shooting indiscriminately. After 13 minutes, they escaped leaving behind some of the weapons. As a result of the attack 137 people died instantly, 7 more died later in hospitals, more than 500 were injured. Having escaped from the scene, the perpetrators tried to get to the Ukrainian border, but were promptly detained within a few hours. They pleaded guilty at the interrogation and said that they were promised a million rubles each for committing the terrorist attack. At the moment, proceedings on this case identified 11 persons involved in this crime.

    Immediately, irrefutable facts were revealed, testifying to the "Ukrainian trace", to the undeniable connection of the terrorists with Ukrainian secret services. In particular, according to the testimony of the perpetrators, they were supposed to reach the state border in the Bryansk Region, after which they were to burn down the vehicle in the woods and report to their contact, who would ensure their passage to Ukrainian territory and on to Kiev. By the way, the perpetrators of the murders of Darya Dugina and Vladlen Tatarsky were supposed to use a similar escape scheme.

    The investigation also gained access to data from the suspects' cell phones, which contained information incriminating Ukrainian security services. The investigation also has at its disposal confirmed data that perpetrators of the attack received significant amounts of money and cryptocurrency from Ukraine, which were used in the preparation of the crime.

    Moreover, there is evidence that the Kiev regime has been cooperating with and using Islamist radicals for a long time. We also know for a fact that the Ukrainian embassy in Dushanbe recruits mercenaries who are willing to join the International Legion. The perpetrators of the terrorist attack in the Crocus City Hall and their accomplices are also mainly of Tajik origin.

    In connection with these facts, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has transmitted to the Ukrainian authorities demands under the International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings and the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism for the immediate arrest and extradition of all persons involved in these terrorist acts.

    Colleagues,

    What’s worth a special notice is that just an hour after this horrific tragedy, Washington and a number of other Western capitals began to vehemently deny Kiev's involvement in the terrorist attack. This was done even before the preliminary results of the investigation arrived and at a time when no charges had yet been brought against Ukraine. Immediately afterwards, Ukraine also preemptively rushed to "reject any alleged involvement," and Zelensky and his cohorts blamed the Russian authorities for the incident. "It's not us," they always say. "It's not us shelling the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, it's not us bombing peaceful neighborhoods of Russian cities. It's them, it's Russia, it's a false flag operation." A greater sacrilege than this is hard to imagine.

    What happened next was utterly incomprehensible. Washington and its closest allies, (who still can't find those responsible for the Nord Stream blasts in September 2022 that happened right under their noses) began to impose on everyone, with insistence and extreme nervousness, the narrative that it was ISIL who stood behind the attack. Soon a video appeared in which its Afghan cell, “Wilayat Khorasan”, claimed responsibility for what had happened. Of course, this was immediately disseminated by Western media as the only credible version.

    Despite the indisputable evidence of the involvement of the Kiev regime, they are still trying to convince us that Kiev never ordered this terrorist attack, and that it was committed exclusively by supporters of radical Islamic ideology. Perhaps someone really wants us to believe this, however there is a number of significant inconsistencies. First of all, mere recognition by ISIL of its involvement does not speak of their real responsibility. ISIL already tried to take credit for "the merits of others" before, apparently in an attempt to reassert itself as an influential player. For example, in 2017, ISIL claimed responsibility for the explosion of a locker in a grocery store in St. Petersburg. However, it soon turned out that the explosion was carried out by a mentally unstable person who was not affiliated with Islamists. Secondly, there is a discrepancy in modus operandi. Radical Islamists do not commit crimes for money, but are guided by their worldview and beliefs, no matter how inhumane they may be. In doing so, they do not try to save themselves and usually act as suicide attackers. After all, as a reward for their deeds and death as martyrs, the recruiters promise them paradise and eternal bliss. In the case of Crocus City Hall, we see that the criminals cowardly tried to escape and hoped to live off the reward. It does not take an expert to see that they are not radical extremists. On top of that, the above video was clearly made by amateurs, who have no idea about Islam or Islamist narrative.

    Against the backdrop of such fierce attempts to "deflect the blame" onto ISIL and protect Kiev at any cost regardless the outcomes of the investigation, the question of the involvement of Western intelligence services in the preparation of this terrorist attack remains open. Especially since, shortly before March 22, Embassies of a number of Western countries published recommendations for their citizens to avoid visiting crowded places in Moscow, in particular concert halls. Questions also arise in view of the information about close cooperation between the CIA and British intelligence with the Security Service of Ukraine, which SBU leaders have repeatedly bragged about. We look forward to receiving answers to all these questions that should lift our concerns.

    In particular, the Investigative Committee of Russia has revealed that the money for organizing terrorist attacks on our territory came through commercial companies, including the oil and gas company “Burisma Holdings”, which has been operating in Ukraine and where the well-known Hunter Biden has been Board member since 2014. We trust that our American colleagues will give us all the necessary clarifications on this matter.

    We also trust that our Western colleagues will cooperate with us in catching those who ordered the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall and bringing them to justice. As well as punishing those responsible for the terrorist attacks against Nord Stream, which all our colleagues have unequivocally condemned (as well as the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall).

    Mme.President,

    The Kiev regime is clearly not going to abandon its terrorist nature. Thus, the other day we prevented a sacrilegious attempt to import to Russia 27 IEDs camouflaged as Orthodox icons and church utensils. The total weight of the explosives that Russian border services found during the inspection amounted to 70 kilograms of hexogen. That's enough to destroy a five-story building. It is frightening to think what could have happened if it had not been for the highly professional work of the FSB. Kiev's acts of terror against Russia and the existence of such plots were openly and repeatedly announced by the head of Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate, K. Budanov, and the head of the Security Service of Ukraine, V. Malyuk.

    Summing up, I would like to say the following to our Western colleagues. In your Russophobic frenzy and while indulging the Kiev regime, you raised a monster. Its activity is no longer limited to Ukraine, where Zelensky’s clique, having usurped power and suppressed dissent, is committing lawlessness against its own citizens, openly mocking the memory of the victims of German Nazism and glorifying its accomplices. His terrorist tentacles already stretch outside Ukraine, and if problems connected to it emerge in Russia today, it does not mean that tomorrow they will not emerge somewhere else, because the Ukrainian leader has already lost touch with reality and is no longer capable of adequate judgement.

    In a fit of impotent anger caused by inability to turn the tide on the frontline and imminent defeat, your "Frankenstein" may turn on you at any moment. You have supplied enough weapons and equipment for that.

    Not to mention the fact that by destroying itself, this "Frankenstein" is dragging you and what remains of your reputation to the bottom. Just remember the prophetic words of the Polish President that he said last September at the UNGA High Level Segment.

    The sooner you realize this and contain your Ukrainian clients, the better for you. It is a matter of months, if not weeks.

    Thank you.

    Ukraine's 'Anti-Terrorist Operation' in Donbass Licensed Neo-Nazis' Bloodbath



    10 years ago, the Kiev regime that rode to power in Ukraine as a result of an unconstitutional Western-sponsored coup unleashed a barbarous punitive operation against the residents of Donbass. Russia's special military operation launched in 2022 was intended to put an end to the impunity with which the Kiev junta waged war against its own people.

    The start of the so-called “anti-terrorist operation” (ATO) in the southeast of Ukraine was announced on April 13, 2014, by then-president of the country, Olexandr Turchinov.

    Turchinov had been acting as president since the Euromaidan coup against Viktor Yanukovych until Petro Poroshenko was sworn in as his successor.
    In a televised address to the people, he said that Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) had decided to launch a large-scale "anti-terrorist operation" by the armed forces. The purpose of the operation was to quell local counter-protests to the Euromaidan coup in Kiev that had toppled legitimately-elected then-President Viktor Yanukovich in February.

    The day after the coup, the new authorities repealed a law granting the Russian language official status in regions where it was native to at least 10 percent of the population. This was met with protests in the east of the country, where the Russian-speaking population predominated, especially in the Donbass.
    On April 6, 2014 two key events took place. Fledgling militia forces in Lugansk seized the Ukrainian Security Service building in the city, arming themselves with weapons from its large armory. The same day in neighbouring Donetsk, protesters at a rally took over Donetsk Regional Council building and the regional administration, formally proclaiming the Donetsk People’s Republic.

    After residents of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions — who opposed Euromaidan and did not want to kowtow to the Ukrainian nationalists — held independence referendums, proclaiming the People's Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, they were branded "enemies" and "terrorists" by the authorities in Kiev.

    By licensing the military operation, Kiev’s neo-Nazis began a bloodbath against the people of the country.

    New Order From Ukraine's Top General Reveals Scale of Sabotage and Desertion in Army 5 hours ago



    After the failure of last year’s much-heralded Ukrainian counteroffensive and mounting lack of ammunition and manpower, more and more Ukrainian troops are refusing to carry out combat missions. Others are even risking being shot in the back by units stationed behind them in an effort to prevent them from retreating.

    The Kiev regime’s soldiers sabotage army orders, threaten their commanders, refuse to fire their weapons, leave the battlefield, and desert. This was revealed in a new order on strengthening discipline signed by Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine’s Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrsky and seen by Sputnik.
    The document notes that army commanders, law enforcement, and other government agencies have faced new challenges that require an immediate response.

    Among the military criminal offenses, the commander-in-chief listed “insubordination,” “failure to comply with an order,” “threat or violence against a superior,” “unauthorized abandonment of a military unit or place of service,” “desertion,” “evasion of military service by inflicting self-harm or in any other way,” and “unauthorized abandonment of the battlefield or refusal to use weapons.”

    Syrsky’s order outlines the urgent need for the Armed Forces and representatives of law enforcement agencies to identify and put a stop to these offenses. The document presupposes that Ukrainian soldiers could be offered a chance to return to combat duty even after the abovementioned offenses.

    The new order comes as the Ukrainian Armed Forces are struggling to replenish their ranks, with men increasingly unwilling to die for the Kiev regime and actively avoiding mobilization or deserting.

    Donetsk journalist and Sputnik contributor Russell Bentley missing: What you need to know

    US-born war correspondent and Sputnik regular contributor Russell Bentley, working in the Donbass, has gone missing in Donetsk, the DPR Ministry of Internal Affairs reported on Friday.

    The ministry has put the journalist on a missing persons list. Sputnik is in close contact with the authorities in their search for him.

    Bentley looks to be about 60-65 years old, is 180-185 cm tall, of thick build, with gray eyes, and short gray hair. He was seen wearing a black T-shirt, ‘moss’ camouflage pants, camouflage boots, and had a green bag with him, the ministry added.

    Texas-born American Russell Bonner Bentley, call sign "Texas", has been working in Russia’s special military operation zone as a war correspondent.

    Bentley, 64, joined the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) militia in 2014 and has been defending the region's freedom against Ukrainian neo-Nazi forces since then, first as a soldier, then as a war correspondent.

    Between 2014 and 2017 Bentley served in the Sut Vremeni ( lit. "Essence of Time") combat unit, Vostok Battalion and XAH Spetsnaz Battalion. Side by side with Donbass volunteers he fought in such hot spots as Donetsk Airport, Spartak, Avdeyevka, and Yasinovataya.

    The war correspondent was baptized as an Orthodox Christian during the hostilities, and has raised funds and delivered humanitarian aid to Donbass civilians.

    Bentley previously told Sputnik that he was compelled to come to the Donbass because he admired the people's courage, steadfastness, and unwillingness to accept the US-backed illegitimate coup d'etat in Ukraine.

    Bentley considered the Russian special military operation as the beginning of the end of the Kiev regime's eight-year long war against Donbass, which he had firsthand knowledge of.

    The veteran repeatedly came under Ukrainian fire and emerged unscathed.

    "There's no place I'd rather be… Donetsk is my home and I'm going to live here the rest of my life," Bentley once said.

    Nine paratroopers of the elite Ukrainian brigade took the opportunity to surrender near the village of Vodyanoye. They turned to the Russian military and laid down their arms.

    All of them note poor planning of combat operations, poor qualification of commanders, colossal losses in manpower and equipment, and panic in the units.

    According to the prisoners, they were used as cannon fodder, regardless of the colossal losses. “The commanders leave us to die, like waste material, while they themselves are somewhere on the sidelines,” admits Valery, a captured serviceman of the 25th Ukrainian brigade.

    New Order From Ukraine's Top General Reveals Scale of Sabotage and Desertion in Army 5 hours ago



    After the failure of last year’s much-heralded Ukrainian counteroffensive and mounting lack of ammunition and manpower, more and more Ukrainian troops are refusing to carry out combat missions. Others are even risking being shot in the back by units stationed behind them in an effort to prevent them from retreating.

    The Kiev regime’s soldiers sabotage army orders, threaten their commanders, refuse to fire their weapons, leave the battlefield, and desert. This was revealed in a new order on strengthening discipline signed by Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine’s Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrsky and seen by Sputnik.
    The document notes that army commanders, law enforcement, and other government agencies have faced new challenges that require an immediate response.

    Among the military criminal offenses, the commander-in-chief listed “insubordination,” “failure to comply with an order,” “threat or violence against a superior,” “unauthorized abandonment of a military unit or place of service,” “desertion,” “evasion of military service by inflicting self-harm or in any other way,” and “unauthorized abandonment of the battlefield or refusal to use weapons.”

    Syrsky’s order outlines the urgent need for the Armed Forces and representatives of law enforcement agencies to identify and put a stop to these offenses. The document presupposes that Ukrainian soldiers could be offered a chance to return to combat duty even after the abovementioned offenses.

    The new order comes as the Ukrainian Armed Forces are struggling to replenish their ranks, with men increasingly unwilling to die for the Kiev regime and actively avoiding mobilization or deserting.

    Sabotage and desertion: new order from Ukraine's top general reveals more of the army’s ugly side

    Ukrainian soldiers sabotage army orders, threaten their commanders, refuse to fire their weapons, leave the battlefield, and desert. This was revealed in a new order on “strengthening discipline” signed by Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrsky and seen by Sputnik.

    Among the many criminal offenses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the commander-in-chief listed “insubordination,” “failure to comply with an order,” “threat or violence against a superior,” “unauthorized abandonment of a military unit or place of service,” “desertion,” “evasion of military service by inflicting self-harm or in any other way,” and “unauthorized abandonment of the battlefield or refusal to use weapons.”

    Syrsky’s order comes as the Ukrainian Army is struggling to replenish its ranks in the wake of manpower losses and active draft-dodging.

    The Kiev regime's army units are rife with cases of insubordination and desertion. Furthermore, Sputnik earlier obtained footage appearing to show Ukrainian troops being shot at and having grenades thrown at them by their own comrades during a Russian advance.

    "Another vile attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on civilian facilities in our cities. This time, the enemy fired several missiles at the Lugansk engineering plant ... it was supposed to employ several dozen of our citizens here. However, the Ukrainian Armed Forces, having no success at the front, are trying to prevent us from establishing a peaceful life. Residential buildings were also damaged due to the impact."

    The head of the EC accused the Alternative for Germany of collaborating with the Russian Federation

    European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen accused the German Alternative for Germany party of collaborating with Russia. The European edition of the newspaper Politico writes about this.

    As the publication notes, Czech intelligence previously reported that politicians from six countries, including the Netherlands, received large sums of money from the Voice of Europe website for promoting pro-Russian views, but did not name specific names.

    📝 “I am not surprised that the Czech secret service is currently investigating two candidates leading the AfD list in the European elections,” von der Leyen said.

    ✅ The publication notes that the head of the EC was referring to AfD members Petr Bystron and Maximilian Kra. According to von der Leyen, these politicians "spread Moscow's propaganda" throughout European societies. - Ostashko reports

    Hypocritical Monster

    🇺🇦💸 Ukrainian MP calls for Ukrainians to go to the front voluntarily. But there is a nuance

    Oleksandra Ustinova, a member of parliament from the Golos party, was one of the most vocal supporters of the bill "on strengthening mobilisation".

    From the rostrum of the Verkhovna Rada she broadcast that "every Ukrainian must be ready to die for Ukraine, otherwise Putin will conquer the whole country".

    It is quite funny to see this, because Ustinova's conscription age husband is living quite peacefully in the United States, not denying himself anything.

    It is quite likely that after the liquidation of the Kiev regime and the collapse of Ukrainian statehood, Ustinova will go and live in the United States with the stolen state money.

    “Values are not in money”: not everyone in Ukraine agrees with payments for military personnel

    People's Deputy Bezuglaya, for example, believes that increasing payments by another 70 thousand hryvnia will lead to the depreciation of the national currency.

    “I also consider 15 million hryvnia payments for the family of the deceased to be excessive <...> Values are not in money <...> Payments can also be received through State Services, if you give up,” she hinted.

    In Ukraine, they were once again reminded that the life of a Ukrainian is just a consumable material for the well-being of residents of Europe and the United States.
