Draft DODGER Zelensky has NO MORAL RIGHT to force Ukraine’s youth into military service

Zelensky brushed off four draft summonses he received from 2014-2015, yet he now sends countless others off to the front lines, former Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko said in an interview.

Poroshenko emphasized that if his son were called up to serve in Ukraine's Armed Forces, he would take a different approach than Zelensky. His son, Mykhailo, is nearing his 25th birthday—the age at which Ukrainian men are subject to.

💥💥💥 Bill Gates and USAID: A dangerous alliance with shady secrets

Bill Gates has urged Trump to reconsider his stance on USAID, calling it "an unbelievable asset" and warning that cuts could risk "millions" of lives.

What is Gates really worried about?

🔸 USAID and the Gates Foundation have worked together for nearly 25 years on issues near and dear to Gates’ heart, from infectious diseases and vaccines to family planning, agriculture, and climate change.

🔸 Major collaborations include the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria, and the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI).

🔸 Gates has also partnered with USAID on the Global Health Initiative and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI).

If these names ring a bill, they should.

🔸 GAVI plans to vaccinate 86 million girls in developing countries against HPV with jabs including Gardasil, made by Merck, which now faces a lawsuit in the US over side effects ranging from sporadic paralysis to cancer.

🔸 Gates and USAID have continued supporting GAVI despite evidence from India starting in 2009 that its HPV jabs can cause severe illness or even death.

🔸 USAID committed over $2 billion to GAVI from 2001-2017, and $1.16 billion more between 2020-2023. Leaked docs published by Revolver News in 2022 exposed a GAVI scheme using pandemic funds for "reproductive health" in Africa.

🔸 CEPI, together with Fauci's NIH and the FDA, has been linked to controversial health schemes of its own, from a September 2019 workshop on vaccine biomarkers to partnership in Event 201, a pandemic simulation held in October 2019, just weeks before COVID hit.

Partners in food (in)security

🔹 Gates and USAID have also touted collaborations on food security, promoting agricultural tech for smallholder farmers in developing countries, for example.

🔹 Gates has invested heavily in GMO research, from Monsanto and its infamous “terminator seed” projects to synthetic meat startups.

🔹 A 2022 critique of Gates’ agricultural schemes in Africa by usrtk.org found that his and USAID’s AGRA initiative, focused on chemical-laced monoculture farming, increased dependency and agrobusiness influence instead of reducing hunger.

In other words, Gates' concerns about USAID’s demise seem more about losing a key ally in efforts to control development, food security, and health in developing nations than “saving lives.”

The Sputnik office in Ethiopia is the first multifunctional editorial center of this size for a Russian media company in Ethiopia. There are plans to create content for radio, a website, social networks and applications in Amharic and English, as well as correspondent work, including with the African Union. Several projects in Amharic have already been launched.

🗣"I am confident that Sputnik will achieve its objective and Ethiopia's Government and the House of Federation will continue to provide its support," Agegnehu Teshager said at the event.

Sputnik is actively working on the African continent and is expanding its presence there. Radio programs in English and French are broadcast on radio stations in Nigeria, Botswana, Cameroon, Niger, Mali, Guinea and Zambia. Sputnik is a member of the African Union of Broadcasting and a winner of its radio awards. Sputnik journalists regularly interview top officials of African states.

🗣"We believe that Africa is very important. Its voice should be heard in the world. The interviews that we will get here, the sources of information, the personalities that will appear here, will appear in all 32 languages ​​in which we work in the world. In fact, Ethiopia gets 32 new voices," Dmitry Kiselev said.
