THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE DOING - Nigel Farage in 2014 warning the EU Parliament on their guilt in the coming war against Russia in Ukraine. Everybody knew. War was what the Western backed coup was really for. Stop the crocodile tears.

🇷🇺‼️ Exports from Russia continue to grow despite the sanctions

►The average daily export of oil from the Russian Federation to the far abroad in early April has already increased by 2%.
►Pumping through oil pipelines to foreign countries increased by 3.4%.
►Exports by sea increased by 7.7% at the beginning of the month.
►Coal exports from Russia to China increased by 7.7% in March 2022 compared to February.
►Coal exports to Kazakhstan via the Russian Railways network also increased by 34.4%.
►Exports to India increased by almost 60% from April to February 2021-22.

Non-primary exports are generally breaking records.
By the end of 2021, the volume of Russian non-primary non-energy exports increased by 36% by 2020 and reached a record $191 billion.

And in order for such dynamics to continue in 2022, more than 150 billion rubles will be allocated from the federal budget during the year for subsidies to exporters.
It is planned to attract the maximum number of Russian enterprises to export activities.

It is not surprising that after reducing the artificially created pressure on the ruble exchange rate, it began to strengthen so powerfully. The reasons for ensuring its value are quite real.

📉 Today, the dollar declined to 71 rubles.
📉 Euro up to 77 rubles.
The last time such a course was in May 2020 !!!

🇺🇦Kiev regime has not abandoned its attempts to evacuate the leaders of Azov nationalist regiment and foreign mercenaries from Mariupol

▫️Previous actions to evacuate them by helicopter have failed.

▫️On the evening of April 8, the Kiev regime made another unsuccessful attempt to evacuate the Ukrainian Nazi leaders by sea.

▫️The Ukrainian Apache, a Maltese-flagged dry-cargo ship assigned to the Maltese port of Valetta, was sailing in a caravan of ships from the Gulf of Taganrog to the Kerch Strait in the nighttime.

▫️At 22:38 Moscow time, 30 km southeast of Mariupol, the dry-cargo ship suddenly changed its course and attempted to break through to the Mariupol seaport blocked from the sea by the Black Sea Fleet.

▫️The Ukrainian dry-cargo ship did not respond to Russian border guards' demands to contact them through the international channel and continued heading in the direction of Mariupol port.

▫️Warning artillery firing by two border patrol ships along the vessel's course did not cause the dry cargo ship to change course or slow down.

▫️While heading towards Mariupol port, the ship was engaged in radio communication, transmitting the messages "I am 'Maniac', coming for you". At the same time, signal fires were observed on the shore.

▫️To block the movement of the intruder vessel, from 22.53 to 23.30, the Black Sea Fleet and the border patrol ships opened artillery fire on the Apache dry-cargo ship.

▫️A direct hit caused a fire in the stern of the ship.

▫️The Ukrainian dry-cargo ship then went adrift, the crew got in touch with the border ships with a request to cease fire and confirmed their readiness to comply with all the demands of the Russian sailors.

▫️No crew members on the ship were injured as a result of the firing. The fire was extinguished by the ship's crew themselves.

▫️After being inspected, the Ukrainian Apache and its crew are convoyed to the Yeysk port.

I'm guessing they didn't hit anything with the missiles, otherwise they would have shown us the result, but it's interesting nonetheless to see that they captured the weapons with spare missiles.

Free MacBook Pro for poor Ukrainian Refugees

------

A friend in Berlin told me about all the "Free stuff" groups on FaceBook, changing their aim and specifically reserving all free stuff "for Ukrainian refugees" .

I jokingly predicted that soon someone would arrive with a sob story about how their expensive top-of-the-range Macbook Pro "got destroyed by a Russian missile" and "please give me a new one for free, thanx!"

And here we are.....

This Ukrainian #grifter goes even one better by cleverly including #Bucha in her sob story.......brilliant!

There was an issue with the previous link to Cynthia Chung's latest article on the history of the Ukrainian Nationalist Movement. Here is the new link for those who have not already read or wanted to share Cynthia's excellent paper which is an absolute must read if one is to understand the situation in Ukraine today. https://canadianpatriot.org/2022/04/09/how-the-ukrainian-nationalist-movement-post-wwii-was-bought-and-paid-for-by-the-cia/
