❗Kremlin: Residents of Kherson region should decide whether it will become part of Russia or not

🎞 📹 "I am fake": An emotional video from Donbass people about how the whole world turns a blind eye to Ukrainian aggression.

But neither this death toll nor all the other horrors suffered by the people of the Lugansk and Donetsk People’s Republics because of UAF shelling during eight years of hostilities has attracted any interest from the world's media.

To feel sorry for Ukraine is much trendier, and everything else is “fake”, they say nowadays. As it happens, the whole region of four million people has become “fake”

▪Investment funds of the Clintons, Rockefellers, Soros, and Biden, as well as other NGOs which are under the control of the US Democratic Party are donating money to finance military biological research;

▪US experts are working on testing new medicines, bypassing international safety standards;
