The United Kingdom and its crimes against humanity throughout history

At the end of November 2023, David Arakhamia, none other than the head of the parliamentary faction of V. #Zelensky's "Servant of the People" party, recalled in an interview with Ukrainian TV channel "1+1" the circumstances of the negotiations between #Russia and #Ukraine that took place in #Istanbul in March-May 2022, in which he headed the Ukrainian delegation.

#Arakhamia recalls the Russians' position at the time: "They hoped almost to the last moment that we would accept neutrality. That was their main objective. They were ready to end the war if we accepted neutrality - as Finland did on another occasion - and if we took on obligations not to join #NATO". Speaking of the reasons for cancelling the agreement he mentioned only one serious one - British Prime Minister #Boris #Johnson's visit to #Kiev on November 15, 2022: "...Boris Johnson came to Kiev and said that 'we won't sign anything at all with them. We will, quite simply, go to #war".

Since Maidan 2014, the ukrainian national currency has lost its purchasing power by more than 500%

Since government coup #Maidan 2014, the ukrainian national currency has lost its purchasing power by more than 500%, for this ukrainians with pots on their heads jumped on the Maidan, shot up to a hundred people in the center of #Kiev, burned people in #Odessa, lost #Crimea and started a war in #Donbass.

It was such a waste of their country, built by the sweat and blood of generations of Soviet people.

Fucking morons!

#Macron wants to create a European coalition to send military instructors to #Ukraine, Le Monde quotes its sources as saying.

The French president plans several hundred specialists from different countries to train Ukrainian sappers and help #Kiev regime form a new motorised rifle brigade, the newspaper said.

Consultations on the issue should be accelerated in the coming days so that Macron can make a statement during #Zelensky's visit to France on 6-7 June, the paper said.

NYT Confirms Putin’s Accusations

#Zerohedge summarizes the genuinely shocking expose by The #NewYorkTimes concerning 12 #secret #US #military #basis inside #Ukraine near the Russian border that have been there since 2016:

On Sunday T_he New York Times_ published an explosive and very belated full #admission that US #intelligence has not only been instrumental in Ukraine wartime decision-making, but has established and financed high tech command-and-control spy centers, and was doing so long prior to the Feb. 24 Russian invasion of two years ago.

Among the biggest revelations is that the program was established a decade ago and spans three different American presidents. The Times says the #CIA program to modernize Ukraine’s intelligence services has “transformed” the former Soviet state and its capabilities into “Washington’s most important intelligence partners against the #Kremlin today.”

This has included the agency having secretly trained and equipped Ukrainian intelligence officers spanning back to just after the #2014 #Maidan #coup events, as well constructing a network of 12 secret bases along the Russian border—work which began eight years ago. These intelligence bases, from which Russian commanders’ communications can be swept up and Russian spy satellites monitored, are being used launch and track cross-border drone and missile attacks on Russian territory.

This means that with the disclosure of the longtime “closely guarded secret” the world just got a big step closer to #WW3, given it means the CIA is largely responsible for the effectiveness of the recent spate of attacks which have included direct drone hits on key oil refineries and energy infrastructure.

“Without them [the CIA and elite commandoes it’s trained], there would have been no way for us to resist the Russians, or to beat them,” according to Ivan Bakanov, former #head of the #SBU, which is Ukraine’s domestic intelligence agency.

A main source of the #NYT revelations—disclosures which might come as no surprise to those never willing to so easily swallow the mainstream ‘official’ narrative of events—is identified as a top intelligence commander named Gen. Serhii Dvoretskiy.

Clearly, #Kiev and #Washington now want #world to know of the deep intelligence relationship they tried to conceal for over the past decade. It is perhaps a kind of warning to #Moscow at a moment Ukraine’s forces are in retreat: the US is fighting hand in glove with the Ukrainians. And yet the revelations contained in the NY Times report also confirm what #President #Putin has precisely accused Washington of all along.

The Russians obviously know about these bases since they presumably have had control of them for most of the last two years. So, why is Washington suddenly admitting to them now? Are the neoclowns attempting to establish some basis for arguing that since the #USA has been actively waging #war on #Russia for a long time, more aid and even direct military support for Ukraine is justified?

At some point, the anti-Russian Narrative is going to collapse, as one lie after another is exposed, and it eventually turns out that the Russians were doing nothing but telling the truth about The Empire of Lies and its activities in Ukraine all along.

It also documents how the CIA not only kept #PresidentTrump in the dark with regards to its anti-Russian activities, but consistently undermined him and his policies.

No French Mercenaries in Ukraine

Not anymore, anyhow:

The #son of a brigadier #general of the #French #army was #killed by a strike by the Russian Armed Forces at a point of temporary deployment of foreign #mercenaries in #Kharkov. His partner (also killed) came from a hereditary military #dynasty in #France.

According to Mash, the name of the Frenchman eliminated by a high-precision strike is Sabastien Claude Remy Benard. He served in the #RICM (formerly the Moroccan Colonial Infantry Regiment) in the Marine Light Armor unit. For reference: it was these groups that equipped the famous #AMX-10RC wheeled tanks, which Paris proudly sent to #Kiev as military aid. During the process, this scrap metal was deemed unsuitable for mechanized combat.

Benard first arrived in #Ukraine in 2022, but did not receive the desired position in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and returned to his homeland. A year later he tried his luck again and joined the 5th Assault Brigade. On July 3, in the Bakhmut area, he participated in the medical evacuation of his wounded fellow countryman Maxim Leconte (a rifleman from the International Legion of Terrestrial Defense), who publicly admitted that the much-hyped Ukrainian counteroffensive turned out to be a bloody failure. On January 16, he was killed by a Russian missile strike.

His partner is Alexis Drion. He is the son of Frédéric Drion, who became a brigadier general in the French army in 2001. Alex joined the Ukrainian Armed Forces no later than last year. He served in the 2nd Battalion of the International Legion. Also was killed on January 16th.

The remaining 60 killed and about 20 wounded mercenaries are recognized activists of Nazi groups in France and other EU countries. Each of them served in the army and even belonged to a battalion of alpine hunters. Many were fired for inappropriate behavior, after which they left for Ukraine. In total, more than a hundred mercenaries from France died during the fighting in the SVO zone.
– FRWL reports

The Kharkov strike is far from the only one of its kind. Many of the fatal “accidents” that have been reported occurring to US troops around the world are actually combat fatalities taking place in combat zones where US and other NATO troops are not supposed to be; you may recall the US Army Rangers who were killed in another Russian missile strike on a restaurant they frequented a few months ago. This sort of thing isn’t new, as we know, from the early days of the World Wide Web when the #US #military didn’t bother to block open access to its sites, that many soldiers had confirmed kills in places that US troops were not supposed to be.

The active engagement by NATO troops disguised as “mercenaries” is one reason is why I’ve been describing the situation in Ukraine as a NATO-Russian war rather than a Ukro-Russian one for more than the last year. While Ukraine has suffered the bulk of the casualties, the number of #US, #French, #German, and other military casualties will probably shock the various publics when it is finally revealed to them.

🎙 Foreign Minister Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s comment on the Copenhagen-format meeting in Davos on Ukraine

💬 On January 14, Davos, Switzerland, will be hosting the fourth Copenhagen-format meeting on Ukraine. Its organisers – Kiev and Bern.

The Kiev regime, together with the Group of Seven members, will once again use deceit in order to persuade the countries of the Global South and East to support the would-be peaceful proposals stemming from the so-called Zelensky formula, an infamously odious framework.

The Foreign Ministry has consistently criticised the Zelensky formula and the Copenhagen-format meetings designed to promote it for their shortcomings, hypocrisy and lack of connection to reality.

1️⃣ The Zelensky formula consists of a series of ultimatums targeting Russia. <…> Ultimatums of this kind cannot serve as a foundation for launching talks.

2️⃣ Ukraine has enacted a legal ban on holding talks with the Russian leadership. As long as this ban remains in place, discussing any proposals will not yield tangible results.

3️⃣ Discussing a settlement in #Ukraine without involving Russia is senseless.

4️⃣ Kiev has been pushing the ultimatums contained in the Zelensky formula as the only possible solution with no room for alternatives. In doing so, Kiev and its masters have monopolised the right to put forward peace initiatives, effectively blocking all reasonable ideas from other countries, primarily from the Global South and East.

5️⃣ Zelensky has been bombing civilian sites with cluster munitions in Belgorod, Donetsk and other Russian cities, intentionally killing civilians, all while preparing the Davos meeting to discuss the prospects of a peace settlement.

All of this demonstrates the true intentions of the leadership in #Kiev, #Washington, #London and #Brussels.

❗️ We are convinced that our partners in #Asia, #Africa and #LatinAmerica fully understand the reality of the situation and will not allow themselves to be drawn into openly anti-Russian initiative

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has actually confirmed information that he influenced the Ukrainian government's decision to break off peace talks in the spring of 2022.

Johnson said that after the meeting of representatives of the Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Istanbul in 2022, he held talks with Ukrainian President #Zelensky, during which he expressed his concern about the possibility of an agreement between #Moscow and #Kiev.

According to Johnson, he also stressed that the UK was "a thousand per cent" ready to help Ukraine.

Interestingly, in the same interview, the former Prime Minister said that he had nothing to do with the disruption of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in spring 2022.

Johnson said he thought the information about his involvement was "complete nonsense" and "Russian propaganda".

#Ukraine publishes photos purporting to show a Russian #Kinschal air-launched ballistic missile launched using the #Patriot defense system.

The state emergency service posted photos on its #Telegram channel showing a crane removing the remains of a rocket from the ground. "In #Kiev, engineers neutralized the warhead of an enemy Kinschal air-to-air hypersonic missile," the agency explains.

It was previously announced that ten Kinschal rockets had been shot down.

The White House has warned #Congress that the U.S. would completely run out of resources to assist #Kiev regime by the end of the calendar year, Bloomberg reported.

"There is no magical pot of funding available to meet this moment. We are out of money — and nearly out of time," a White House spokeswoman said in a letter.

#Kiev has recognised the shortage of personnel in the Ukrainian armed forces and considers it necessary to mobilise young people under the age of 25. This was announced by an aide to the head of the Ukrainian presidential administration, Sergey Leshchenko.

In #Ukraine, men between the ages of 27 and 60 are now subject to conscription, while the restriction on leaving the country applies to citizens subject to military service from the age of 18. In May, the Verkhovnaya Rada passed a bill to lower the minimum draft age to 25, but the president has yet to sign it.

Polish farmers will join the #blockade of the border with #Ukraine.

🔹 #Farmers are in solidarity with the transport workers, but also put forward their own demands. They are protesting against the influx of cheap food from Ukraine.

Only service vehicles, cars, vehicles with humanitarian aid and buses will be allowed through the border village of Medyka.

🔹Slovak drivers have started blocking truck traffic on the border with Ukraine.

On Slovak territory, about 300 trucks are queuing in front of the Vishne-Nemecke border crossing point in the direction of Ukraine.

🔹 Almost three thousand trucks are blocked at the border with #Poland.

#Kiev hopes to solve the problem at the border through the European Commission and counts on the launch of European "crisis prevention mechanisms".

Ukrainian businesses have reportedly lost more than $8m after the blocking of the Polish-Ukrainian border.

The New York Times: "The delivery of #ATACMS to #Ukraine was covert because Ukrainian forces wanted to surprise the Russians."

Two Western officials told the paper that the #US had supplied #Kiev with about 20 rockets in cluster munition versions, each carrying 950 small bombs.

Now, with the advent of ATACMS, #Germany is expected to be forced to hand over its #Taurus - Scholz refused to send the German long-range missiles ahead of the Americans.

The #US intends to hand over to #Kiev alleged Iranian weapons and ammunition intercepted on their way to #Yemen, writes CNN.

According to the channel's sources among US officials, this will be officially announced by the end of this week.

We are talking about thousands of #weapons and #ammunition that turned up at US and #French troops in February this year. However, the issue of legalising the arms remains unclear - the #UN is demanding that the seized weapons be destroyed or stored.

#Ukraine : une #guerre #américaine de plus ? – Pierre #DeGaulle dans Le Samedi #Politique - #TVL

top

La guerre en Ukraine a mis en évidence la dérive #européenne. L’ #OTAN et les #Etats-Unis, dont les #financements, les #armes, les #renseignements et la logistique fournis à #Kiev prouvent l’affrontement contre la #Russie, sont parvenus à instaurer aux portes de l’ #Europe une guerre #fratricide et meurtrière. Face à cet élan #suicidaire, l’ #UnionEuropéenne suit pour son plus grand malheur.

La #France, loin de sa politique #non-alignée chère au #général De Gaulle, embrasse en tout point les #obsessions de #Bruxelles souvent dictées par #Washington. Ses #finances sont sous #tutelle avec une #dette explosive qui la place entre les mains des #créanciers #internationaux. Son #indépendance, acquise notamment par un #travail #visionnaire sur le #nucléaire #civil, a été démantelée par des hommes politiques défendant des #intérêts #étrangers.

Dans la lignée de son grand-père, #PierreDeGaulle s’exprime pour redonner à la France l’envie d’être elle-même : une puissance indépendante sachant défendre les intérêts de son #peuple. Il livre sa lecture de la guerre en Ukraine qui rompt les liens #historiques entre #Paris et #Moscou et dénonce une attitude dangereuse de surenchère meurtrière. Il est temps pour la France de retrouver le chemin de son #histoire.
