Watch carefully. This young girl from Mariupol, Victoria Dyachenko, who has gone mad, is the most terrible image of this war for me. Without documents, without things, without shoes - in socks. There are fragments in the leg. The parents are probably dead. I could not do anything for her, except to snatch a glass of hot tea for Vicki with a fight. And talk to her a little. And remember Vika for the rest of your life.
PS In the evening she was already in Rostov. Readers found Vika -

🇺🇦🇷🇺 The American right-wing portal Mintpress.com did an impressive homework and described in sufficient detail how the system of strategic Ukrainian propaganda works at the present stage. Traditionally, let's turn to the cards:

1️⃣ The Ukrainian propaganda campaign is exceptionally well prepared. Key “partner media” in different countries of the world (mainly Western Europe and Russian-language media of the left spectrum) receive in real time the necessary and very detailed information on how to cover various events in Ukraine. For example, the blocking of the Zaporozhye and Chernobyl nuclear power plants, calls for the establishment of a NATO no-fly zone over Ukraine, and so on.
2️⃣ Ukraine, with the help of foreign consultants, has built an effective network of foreign peer-agencies that actively contribute to the promotion of properly prepared messages into the information space.
3️⃣ The main operator of the information campaign in support of Ukraine is the London-based PR Network agency (4 Old Park Lane London United Kingdom W1K 1QW, phone +44 0203 137 6605, if anything - call), which acts as an integrator of the chain of boutique PR agencies and is closely related with the British regulator in the field of communications UK Government Communication Service Strategy and Evaluation Council, as well as with the international network of independent peer-agencies ICCO Worldwide (separate greetings, by the way, to Andrey Barannikov, SPN and Elena Fadeeva Fleishman-Hillard Vanguard, longtime partners of ICCO).
4️⃣ The key financial operator of Ukrainian strategic communications (psychological operations, GR, propaganda, interaction with international media) is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
5️⃣ An important element of the Ukrainian information campaign is the site Ukraine.ua, which is headed by a certain Yaroslav Turbil, who, according to the author of the material, is associated with American intelligence;
6️⃣ An important element of strategic communications to a Western audience from Ukraine are memes, in which Nazi symbols are present in abundance (examples are given in the material).
7️⃣ For orientation, foreign media journalists are sent guidelines on the use of the correct terms in communications and the correct angle of coverage of events. Relevant information are updated daily.
8️⃣ NATO is actively using its bot farms to spread propaganda messages through FB. The campaign itself is actively funded by the governments of Great Britain, the Czech Republic, George Soros' Open Society and the US National Endowment for Democracy (NED). Support is also provided through USAID.
9️⃣ Among the resources used by Ukrainian PR agencies, the author of the article names Meduza, Novaya Gazeta, Dozhd, BBC, Current Time.
🔟 US lobbying firms such as SKDKnickerbocker and Yorktown Solutions, Your Global Strategy are also heavily involved in the campaign. The campaign is also supported by specialists from Edelman, the largest global advertising agency. In total, as noted in the material, about 150 communication and lobbying structures are working on the information campaign. To support this information operation, they dedicate entire teams within their agencies.

Ukraine Compares Itself to Nazi Germany

Ukraine’s parliament on Wednesday (March 23) appealed again to the West to impose a “no-fly zone” over the country.

However, the parliament raised eyebrows online by comparing the devastation suffered by its cities to that suffered by Nazi Germany during Allied bombing raids. The bizarre choice of comparison is the latest Nazi-related statement to come out of Kiev.

An image posted to Twitter by Ukraine’s ‘Verkhovna Rada’ (Parliament) portrays a bombed out building in Hamburg in 1943 alongside similar damage to the Ukrainian city of Kharkov in 2022.

The text above the image reads “When the Sky is Open,” and a message in English demands that the West “#CloseTheSky over Ukraine.”

Kharkov itself was bombed by Germany during the Second World War.

Madeleine Albright responding to criticism of US foreign policy on Israel by calling the questioner a Saddam shill. This is from 1998. The playbook hasn't changed.

Turkish brands can occupy niches in Russia vacated with the departure of Western companies

The Turkish government has already developed 4 alternative ways for foreign trade with Russia. This was announced at a press conference by Turkish Trade Minister Mehmet Mus.

▪️Trade in national currencies. For this, the Central Banks of Russia and Turkey open currency swaps (accounts) for mutual settlements.

▪️Turkey's connection to the Russian "Financial Message Transfer System" (similar to SWIFT, from which the largest Russian state-owned banks are disconnected).

▪️ Barter trading.

▪️Trade through third countries.

It is likely that all available options will be used to some extent. To this end, the Turkish Ministry of Commerce has already begun negotiations with all export associations so that foreign trade with Russia is not suspended. And this is almost $35 billion a year.

In addition, the Russian market is now "cleared" of many Western brands.
