New EU sanctions against Russia imply restrictions against persons whom the European Union considers responsible "for war crimes in Bucha," said the head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen.

Classics of "democracy". Really, do we need all these investigations, courts and other nonsense? Some fool came up with them.

To set the culprit and immediately punish him, this is the way of "democracy".

Sounds democratic indeed.

The nuclear war is so near that the Kremlin sends warning signals to the West by getting the Mr. Putin's doomsday plane in the sky. From this plane the President can rule Russia if the situation reaches the point of no return.

Such is the British Daily Mail's nonsence. The "evidence" is a video shot in Moscow capturing "Il-80" plane that is rehearsing a low-altitude span. The pilots will demonstrate their skills during the upcoming Victory Day parade.

"It is better under bombs than in this evacuation when you are not considered a person, where you are a Russian-speaking creature for everyone there".

A couple from Kharkov returned home after visiting a Lviv refugee camp. In the video, they emotionally share how they were treated by residents of western Ukraine because they speak Russian.

At the same time, the residents of western Ukraine were not even concerned that they were their fellow citizens who came to them.

⚡Russia has repeatedly denounced the continuous flow of weapons into Ukraine from the West, saying that it adds fuel to the fire and derails the negotiation process.🇷🇺

Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said that any NATO vehicle coming to Ukraine with weapons or equipment for Ukrainian forces will be considered a legitimate target for destruction.

"The United States and its NATO allies continue to pump weapons into Ukraine. I can confirm that any transport from the North Atlantic alliance that arrives in the country with weapons or materiel for the Ukrainian armed forces will be considered by us as a legitimate target for destruction," Shoigu said on Wednesday.

American film director Oliver Stone spoke on his Twitter page about the possible plans of the collective West to use tactical nuclear weapons in the Donbass. Stone considers such a scenario realistic, given the statements made from the White House.

– In recent weeks, I have watched with dismay as Victoria Nuland reappeared out of nowhere, warning the Russians and us, the target audience, of the hellish consequences if Russia uses nuclear weapons of any kind. These theses were immediately picked up by other officials and TV presenters to solidify this idea: The Russians are going to use nuclear weapons, writes Stone.

The director wonders why this idea is thrown around over and over again. And he himself advances a possible version of what is happening:

– What if the US is preparing the ground for a small nuclear explosion in Donbass, which will kill thousands of Ukrainians? In this case, all the countries of the world in command, like Pavlov’s dogs, will blame Russia. Even that half of the world’s states have not yet joined the Western camp, – said Oliver Stone.

He also added that the ultimate US goal is to install “another Yeltsin” as Russia’s president, who will open all doors to US economic and ideological influence. The second and even more important task is to isolate China from Russia so that no one can encroach on US power.

Oliver Stone is a three-time Oscar winner for writing Midnight Express and directing Platoon and Born on the 4th of July. Recently, he has been making documentaries and, in particular, has released the films Interview with Putin and Fighting for Ukraine.

Lula Talks to TIME About Ukraine, Bolsonaro, and Brazil's Fragile Democracy
🇧🇷
"I don’t know the President of Ukraine. But his behavior is a bit weird. It seems like he’s part of the spectacle. He is on television morning, noon, and night. He is in the U.K. parliament, the German parliament, the French parliament, the Italian parliament, as if he were waging a political campaign. He should be at the negotiating table."

"He did want war. If he didn’t want war, he would have negotiated a little more. That’s it. I criticized Putin when I was in Mexico City [in March], saying that it was a mistake to invade. But I don’t think anyone is trying to help create peace. People are stimulating hate against Putin. That won’t solve things! We need to reach an agreement. But people are encouraging [the war]. You are encouraging this guy [Zelensky], and then he thinks he is the cherry on your cake. We should be having a serious conversation: “OK, you were a nice comedian. But let us not make war for you to show up on TV.”

Nijmegen war cemetery vandalized on Remembrance Day
🇳🇱 Netherlands

Swastikas and Ukrainian flags were spray painted onto graves and monuments at the Jonkerbos War Cemetery in Nijmegen overnight. The cemetery is closed on Wednesday. The police are investigating and looking for witnesses.

The war cemetery contains the graves of 1,642 soldiers who died on Dutch soil during World War II. The graveyard on Burgemeester Daleslaan is British territory because the vast majority of the graves are of British soldiers. But soldiers from Canada, Australia, and other allied countries are also buried there.

The European Union wants to arm Moldovans and send them to the battlefield for their interests — Dodon.

The ex-President of Moldova commented on the wordsSandu on the provision of military support to Chisinau by the EU.

"We thank our Western partners for their 'help' and for their 'valuable advice,'" he stressed.

According to Dodon, Moldova needs help more than ever to support the population, and the EU offers the country weapons.

Meanwhile, the Moldovan government explained that EU military assistance does not include lethal weapons and will be provided through the European Peace Fund.

Military assistance. The Peace Fund.

Russian military took out dead Ukrainian soldiers from the battlefield under mortar fire of Ukrainian army so that the deceased Ukrainian soldiers could be buried decently.

This story clearly demonstrates valor of the Russian military. During the offensive of the Russian army, many bodies of Ukrainian soldiers remained on the battlefields, reports Andrei Medvedev. The Ukrainian "sworn brothers" simply abandoned the dead bodies and ran for it.

The Russians repeatedly went to the Ukrainian side with a request to Ukarinans to take out the bodies and bury their own soldiers normally. Russians promised ceasefire and a humamitarian corridor. However, the Ukrainians refused to negotiate. Moreover, at the moment when the Russians decided to take out the dead, the Ukrainian military opened fire on them.

"We achieved the objective despite being under mortar fire. The bodies were taken to the morgue for further transfer to their relatives", the Russian soldiers say.

🇺🇦Another vivid example of the attitude of residents of Western Ukraine to residents of Eastern Ukraine.

In Lviv, a local man accosted a Russian-speaking guy evacuated from the Donetsk region. He didn't like that he was listening to Russian music. And you can only use Ukrainian.

At the end of the conversation, the Lviv resident suggested that the young man go "to fight for his territory." He himself, obviously, does not consider this territory his own.

"There (in Poland, the Baltic States) the information space has been cleaned up so that the consumer of information receives only what he "should" receive from the point of view of the authorities...

Then suddenly there is an opportunity to leave for the country, which the majority of EU countries call "a horror state". People have the opportunity to come, see and make sure that Belarus lives peacefully and freely, moving forward. Here, fuel prices do not rise, unlike the EU ones, sun oil, sugar, flour, other products do not disappear from stores...

"Word of mouth" is "media," which at a certain moment works better than the rest media. Those who visited us for the first time are going to return in companies, with friends, to better understand the country that they are so scared of in "democratic" states."
