EU Parliamentarian Farage in 2014: We have a huge list of contradictions - the bombing of Libya, our desire to arm the rebels in Syria. These were unjustified provocations against Putin. It is the European empire, expanding, demanding Ukraine's territory to make things even worse. NATO would also like Ukraine to join its bloc. We directly support the unlawful takeover of power in Ukraine, which led to the overthrow of Yanukovych. And that made Putin react. If you poke a stick at the Russian bear, don't be surprised at his reaction. A treaty with Ukraine was hastily concluded and NATO soldiers were conducting joint exercises on Ukrainian territory. Are we even out of our minds? Do we seriously want war with Putin? If so, we are heading in the right direction. Understand that the West is now facing its biggest crisis in 70 years! Putin is actually on our side. We need to grow up and recognise the real threat to our countries, stop playing war games in Ukraine! Let's not provoke Putin, whether we like him or not.

«Shock concent» is to be hidden by Ukranian army

💥 The Ukranian Army Command has forbidden the publication of prisoners of war and opponents of the Zelensky regime tortures and executions.

It has not banned tortures and killing at all, but has forbidden making these facts public. Real Nazis!

Italian brother in arms killed in Donbass 🙁

Italian volunteer Edi Ongaro, aka Bozambo, was killed on 30 March in a battle for Avdeevka village, north of Donetsk. Edi fought in trench with other militia privates, when a hand granade threw in. Edi covered it with his body and sacrificed himself to his comrades lives. Proper Russian Italian.

Born in Portogruaro, Venice, Edi was 46 years old. He came to Donbass in 2015 to fight against the fascist’s Kiev regime. All these years he defended people of Luhansk and Donetsk republics, serving in local militia bodies.

Rest in peace, comrade...

We will not forget.
We will avenge.

⚡️Kiev aims to hide the facts of tortures of the Russian PoWs in the future after the footage was published, says PR of the Foreign Intelligence Agency (SVR) of Russia.

The Ukrainian authorities are trying to persuade their Western patrons to force ICRC to stand down and stop trying to gain access to the Russian PoWs, according to the SVR.

The SVR also states that Kiev informed London that they won't follow the Geneva Convention (Treatment to Prisoners of War). This means that the West knows about the gross violation of the International Humanitarian Law, and tries to help Kiev escape the responsibility.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian: NATO is the Cold War product and it should have been dismissed straight after USSR collapsed. The US is the main instigator of Ukrainian crisis.

NATO performed 5-wave expantion eastwards since 1999, putting Russia up against the wall. The world doesn’t need a new Cold War, Europe doesn’t need one either.

RINAT AKHMETOV (Azovsteel owner) sufferes Mariupol clean up. But why? Details in Bloomberg interview are cinic.

Ukrainian oligarch Akhmetov dusguisting interview to Bloomberg is politicly cynic worthy of the lower circle of Dante’s Hell.

Akhmetov recalled the Mariupol inhavitants: "They are dying of thirst and cold - this is genocide". Meanwhile, no secret what oligarch is really worried about. System Capital Management Group is the major shareholder of Azovstal (Azov Steel). Nazi’s Azov guerrillas, led by the kind-hearted Mr. Rinat and now clamped down, turned out to defend not Mariupol and its inhabitants, as Kiev PRing out loud, but their assets. Assets and guerrillas are the only things Akhmetov is so worried about on the pages of Bloomberg. Nor the people of Mariupol, against whom the Ukrainian "defenders" committed crimes neither Maternity hospital of Mariupol, which had its generator taken away for example. They didn't give a damn about pregnant women and newborns. When the civil residents asked Azov for help, the top help one coud get was ignorance.

Now comes the top. "Azovstal will begin the end of the active phase. Next is a comprehensive work in the city. Capturing the Azov bandits hidden in houses and basements along with scared Ukranian regular military forces, who wasn’t quick enough or stealthy enough to merge into the flow of civil refugees. And so-called ‘defenders' are eager to leave the city even dressed as women. I personally saw women's wigs in one of the buildings where Ukrainian security forces located.

Filtration is a long and complicated procedure. You have to understand: same fighters have been living in "Akhmetov's city" for years. They have support from familes and friends. One couldn’t expect them to turn into brave Pavlik Morozov. Quite opposite. Every time a Azov or US military officer is caught, Kiev and the Western media start screaming ‘they caught a wrong guy, he is a civilian’ and everything happens is bloody terror with bullshitting about human rights. Remember a sniper sitting on the roof of a house killing everyone in his crosshairs just to live another couple of hours. No, he is not the terrorist… sure.

Of course, Akhmetov understands: with cleared Azovstal his city of power will end. Sooner or later. An interview with Bloomberg with tales of "genocide" and his heroic arrival in Ukraine (though no location is named) is just a pathetic attempt to bargain more help to Mr. Akhmetov.

Meanwhile, the people of Mariupol are wandering the streets carrying boxes with humanitarian aid, where just one letter - Z - Not leaving our own behind. This city, Rinat Leonidovich, needs another hero. Your era is ended. What a shame you have left a bloody trail in your wake.
