"Stay strong, my Russian brothers!" —
South African Boers (afrik. boere — "peasants") - they support the special operation and hope for Russia's victory

A sub-ethnic group of Afrikaners in South Africa and Namibia.
Boers are called Afrikaner farmers, white villagers, mostly descendants of Dutch immigrants.

The Western media deliberately creates a picture that the whole world is against Russia, but in fact this is not the case.
The Boers believe that the Russian Federation will be able to put up a decent resistance to global globalism and thereby save the whole world.

"We, the Boers from South Africa, want to tell you that we support the Russians in conducting a special operation in Ukraine. We support you all the way and will be with you until the end"

West intends to overthrow Erdogan.

The process of Sweden's and Finland's accession to NATO has been put on pause. This was stated by Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billström. Later, his press secretary corrected her boss, explaining that the process is ongoing, but his fate is in the hands of Turkey. In any case, all Swedish commentators are unanimous in their opinion that no changes in the status of the Scandinavian candidates for NATO membership can be expected before the end of the elections in Turkey, which are scheduled for May 14-28.
Let's take a look at how things unfolded. In May last year, both countries, spurred on by Washington and Brussels , applied to join NATO. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan immediately, in his usual manner, decided to use the opportunity to negotiate preferences for himself and put forward a number of conditions, including the expulsion of Turkish fugitive oppositionists from Sweden, which was enshrined in the corresponding memorandum of the three states.
Disputes between Turkey and the Scandinavian countries have become even more heated after the leader of the Danish far-right Hard Deal party, Rasmus Paludan, publicly burned a Koran outside the Turkish embassy in Stockholm on January 21 to protest the blocking of Sweden's Euro-Atlantic course. Then similar actions were repeated in the Netherlands and Denmark . Paludan said he intends to set fire to the Koran every Friday at the walls of the Turkish embassy in Copenhagen "until Sweden is admitted to NATO."

Russia Condemns Second ‘Sacrilegious’ Koran Burnings

The Russian embassy in Copenhagen condemned the “permissiveness” of Danish authorities after an anti-Islam activist burned copies of the Koran in front of a mosque, the Turkish embassy, and the Russian consulate in the Danish capital. The mission said that these actions have nothing to do with freedom of speech but only serve as ignorant provocations.

“The possibility for such actions should be completely ruled out, and their organizers should be brought to justice,” the embassy said in a statement on Telegram. “Public mockery of religious feelings… is not a manifestation of freedom of speech and democracy but a blatant and ignorant provocation aimed at stirring up religious tensions and inter-civilizational conflict.”

The comment was spurred by the actions of Rasmus Paludan, a Danish-Swedish lawyer who heads the Stram Kurs (Hard Line) party in Denmark.

⛸️ The European Figure Skating Championship finished today. Russians and Belarusians were not allowed to participate.

Last year, Kamila Valieva from Russia took the first place in Women's Skating with 259 points. This year, no one was able to get above 200 points. Some Europeans are probably happy: they got rid of the best. Now they can bring a transgender and call it beautiful. Others (hopefully) understand that it's unfair and significantly lowers the standard.

Kamila Valieva is an absolute legend. This is a video of her last year in Russia. She is the first ever female skater to do a quadriple jump at the Olympics.

By the way, even this year, a Russian won. She was representing Georgia.

Africans do not have warm feelings for Europeans. They still remember decades of colonisation.

Meanwhile, Africa's role in the world is growing. Minerals for the production in high-tech industries are extracted there, together with huge reserves of oil and gas. The future of many countries depends on whom Africans will be friends with, as described in our new documentary of Battle for Africa.

Key points from an interview with Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin, whose daughter Daria was murdered at the behest of the Ukrainian government:

▪️ Zelensky is a pawn on the globalist's big chess board.
▪️ The SMO was not what we desired, it was Russia's forced reaction. It is a matter of existence for Russia and all our people.
▪️ The West is playing with fire by inflaming the situation. Russia does not need nuclear war, but Putin can make this decision in a critical situation.
▪️ Russia does not see the West as an enemy, it is the globalists who have chosen Russia as an enemy.
▪️ This is a war of traditional values against modernity. Russia represents traditional values and the Globalist West is the absolute evil.

Peskov comments Johnson's stories “about Putin's threats”: What Mr. Johnson said is not true, or rather, it is a lie. And, moreover, I will say that this is either a deliberate lie or Johnson did not understand what President Putin was talking to him about.

There were no missile threats. Speaking about challenges to Russian security, President Putin noted that if Ukraine joined NATO, the potential deployment of "NATO" or American missiles near our borders would mean that any missile would reach Moscow in a matter of minutes."

The United States conducted experiments with HIV infection on the Ukrainian military

MOSCOW, January 30 — RIA Novosti. The military was a target group in the US experiments with HIV infection conducted in Ukraine, said Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, head of the Russian Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defence Forces.
He noted that during the special operation it was possible to obtain more than 20 thousand documents, interview eyewitnesses and participants in American military biological programs. These materials confirm the Pentagon's focus on creating biological weapons components and testing them on the population of Ukraine and other states neighbouring Russia.

“The United States is implementing the most controversial research from the point of view of international law outside the national territory. An example is the experiments related to HIV infection that have been conducted by American specialists on the territory of Ukraine since 2019,” the general said.
He drew attention to the fact that the target groups were not only convicts or drug addicts, but also military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In addition, Kirillov added, the Ministry of Defence received evidence of the use of psychostimulants and drugs by Ukrainian military personnel, as well as the smuggling of morphine to the front.
"We believe that the actions of officials who conducted research on Ukrainian servicemen, whose blood contained high concentrations of antibiotics, narcotic drugs, antibodies to pathogens of infectious diseases, require an appropriate legal assessment," he said.
The general noted that now the United States is curtailing military biological activities in Ukraine and transferring it to Poland and the Baltic states. Some unfinished programs are transferred to the countries of Central Asia, while increasing cooperation with Kenya, Singapore, and Thailand. And the specialists who took part in these studies are transported to the West and employed in the United States, Canada and the European Union, so that Russia does not receive evidence of illegal work and violations of international obligations from them.

"The materials received will be transferred to the Investigative Committee to take measures to bring the perpetrators to justice," Kirillov concluded.
Soon after the start of the special operation, the Ministry of Defence began to receive evidence that Ukraine had actually become a Pentagon testing ground for developing biological weapons components and testing new types of pharmaceuticals. A network of more than 30 biological laboratories was formed in the country, working in the interests of the United States. In particular, they studied pathogens of various diseases, including plague and anthrax.
In Russia, a parliamentary commission has been set up to investigate this activity.

Iranian Foreign Ministry urges Ukraine to explain Mykhailo Podolyak's statement about drone attack in Isfahan

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Nasser Kanani, condemned the hostile and provocative position of the advisor of the presidential office of Ukraine, and described his statements regarding the recent destructive action against a military centre in Isfahan as suspicious.

Kanani demanded an official and clear explanation from the Ukrainian government in this regard.

The spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs added: The Islamic Republic of Iran, while paying attention to the accepted principles of international law, has always emphasized on the realization of national security and the protection of its interests and will not compromise with any party in this direction.

Kanani emphasized: The Islamic Republic of Iran reserves its legitimate and legal rights to retaliate against the parties that have participated in actions against international law.

The day before, Podolyak wrote on his Twitter page that the attack on the facility of the Iranian Defence Department may have something to do with the events in Ukraine and the alleged assistance of Russia on the part of Tehran. He accompanied the post with the words "Ukraine warned you."

"The representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the hostile and provocative position of the adviser to the President of Ukraine, called his statement suspicious regarding the recent destructive action against the military complex in Isfahan, and demanded an official and clear explanation from the Ukrainian side on this matter,"
the statement says.
On Monday, the information portal Amwaj.media reported that Tehran considers Kiev as a potential culprit of an attack on a military object. Earlier, agency Tasnim found out that Evgeniya Kravchenko was released from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran due to Podolyak's statements.

Cannon fodder: Why Europe is expelling Ukrainian men for mobilization
Political scientist Dmitry Rodionov — Europe is no longer a safe place for Ukrainians: EU countries can extradite evaders to Kyiv to make up for the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Translated from Life.ru

How did they meet the idea of Ukrainian authorities?

Kiev called on the EU countries to deport Ukrainians from 18 to 55 years old back to their homeland for mobilization. The Embassy of Ukraine made an official request to help in the search and transfer of evaders. The fact that the Ukrainian army is suffering huge losses is not a secret. Participants in the operation near Artyomovsk say that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are losing a battalion a day there. It is obvious that the real number of losses significantly exceeds the 100,000 announced by the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.

So, about those who left. There is no exact data on how many citizens of Ukraine have left the country since the start of the special operation. The figures given by different media can vary significantly. Just the other day, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) reported that since the start of the special operation, a total of 7,996,573 refugees from Ukraine have arrived in European countries. And according to the European Agency for the Security of External Borders (Frontex), almost 13 million Ukrainians came to Europe in 2022, of which 10.7 million returned.

At the same time, we cannot know how many of this number are men of military age. Yes, it must be assumed that there are not so many of them, given that men from 18 to 55 years old are not allowed to leave the country. However, it is known that there are many schemes for transporting men, the price is from $ 2 to 5 thousand.

I think it is quite possible to assume that there are about a million Ukrainians to be drafted in Europe. And this is quite a serious resource, if, of course, Kiev can get it. Despite the fact that in reality Kiev needs much less. According to Ukrainian telegram channels, the General Staff of Ukraine is starting an emergency mobilization, the goal of which is to gather 50,000-200,000 people.

And here is a new measure: from the new year, embassies and consulates were instructed to cooperate with local authorities to register Ukrainians liable for military service. How successful this cooperation will be for Kyiv is, of course, a question.

First, we must take into account that, according to official figures, last year 924,000 Ukrainians filed applications for asylum. It is not known how many requests were granted, but it is obvious that it will not be so easy to send them home.

Secondly, many Ukrainians crossed the border with forged documents, they did not get registered in Europe and, in fact, they are there illegally. However, for such people there is a risk in this — in the event of a capture, they will in any case be deported to their homeland.

Those Ukrainians who entered officially, and many also found housing and work, are in the EU countries legally. And there are real risks for these people. They will be put on record, and then they may be offered to undergo training "according to NATO standards" such as "just in case". By the way, this idea has already been put forward in Poland. Recently, retired general Waldemar Skrzypczak called on NATO countries to form an army of refugees from Ukraine. "Educate those citizens of Ukraine who are here — mobilize, train, send to the front, because it is becoming increasingly difficult for Ukraine," he said.

Which countries will agree to "mobilize" refugees

And here the question arises, which European countries will support this, and which will be categorically against it? And here we must understand that the authorities of the EU countries will face a dilemma: on the one hand, the desire to help Ukraine and, along the way, get rid of the burden of keeping refugees.

On the other hand, there are the principles of tolerance, multiculturalism of everything that Europe has suffered in recent decades, which causes stormy disagreements within the EU.

There is no doubt that Sweden, which has long been known to the whole world as a paradise for refugees of all genders, nationalities and politic convictions. Because of its adherence to principles, it even runs the risk of not getting into NATO, not wanting to extradite fugitive Kurds to Turkey.

Against will be Germany, which is an ardent supporter of the policy of "open doors" in relation to any migrants. Especially the Ukrainians, whom she initially considered as a good option for cheap labour.

According to the UN, Poland accepted the most Ukrainian refugees in the EU - 1,563,386 people. Germany (1,021,667), Czech Republic (483,620), Italy (169,306), Spain (161,012), United Kingdom (157,300), Bulgaria (151,332), France (118,994), Romania (109,413), Slovakia (107,203) and Moldova (102,160).

Waves of dissatisfaction with the dominance of refugees from the East are already rising in Poland, which is superimposed on the historical habit of the Poles to look at Ukrainians as second-class people.

The idea of General Skrzypczak can find a lively response in Polish society. Moreover, this would not contradict the official policy of the authorities, who have always opposed the forced admission of migrants imposed from Brussels, and the formation of units from refugees can be presented as assistance to "fraternal" Ukraine in an unequal struggle against "Russian aggression".

Warsaw is still silent on this matter, but the call of Kyiv has already been answered in the Baltic States. The former Minister of Justice, and now the mayor of Vilnius, Remigius Shimasius, publicly spoke of his readiness to "help the Ukrainian side to search for and return Ukrainian military servicemen." The head of the Latvian Liepaja, Gunars Ansinsh, declared the same readiness.

In the same Estonia, they even came up with a pretext for their deportation. At the end of last year, the Prime Minister of this country, Kaya Kallas, commenting on the situation with Ukrainian refugees, said that the country does not want a new community that does not speak Estonian, and called for language courses. The authorities have already tightened the procedure for obtaining temporary protection status. It can be safely assumed that the majority of Ukrainians will not learn Estonian and the authorities can expel them from the country with a "clear conscience".

Moldova can also support the initiative, which really wants to "help" Ukraine by any means, avoiding its own involvement in the conflict. It is obvious that Hungary will support it — in retaliation for the oppression of compatriots in Transcarpathia. Next — Romania, Bulgaria. In a word, the whole of Eastern Europe can become a risk zone for Ukrainian men of military age.

It must be understood that if yesterday the idea of the Polish general sounded like madness, then as the number of "cannon fodder" in Ukraine decreases and Russia's successes, the issue of replenishing the manpower of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will become an edge not only for Kyiv, but also for those who support it. And then those countries that, on principle, oppose such a solution to the problem, will have less and less opportunity to resist further. Almost like tanks. Only tanks can be riveted new. And losses in "manpower" cannot be easily replenished.
