DPR community leader and organizer Armen Sarkisyan has died in the hospital, following the apparent assassination attempt in Moscow earlier today.

On January 23 an USAF C-17 landed in Israel then, heaed to Ukraine military aid hub The aircraft took off from Germany, spent about three hours at Israel’s Nevatim Air Force Base, then departed and landed at the main military supply hub for Ukraine—Rzeszow International Airport in Poland. The exact mission of the C-17 and what it delivered to Poland remain unclear. The possibilities include both humanitarian aid and military supplies. If we focus on military aid, it’s entirely plausible that Israel delivered several shipments to Poland intended for Ukraine.
The first and most logical possibility is the delivery of Soviet and Russian ammunition and weapons. Just a day earlier, Tel Aviv promised Kyiv that weapons seized from various defeated groups in the region would be cataloged and provided to Ukraine. This primarily involves small arms, bombs, grenades, grenade launchers, and captured ammunition. https://bulgarianmilitary.com/2025/01/24/usaf-c-17-lands-in-israel-then-heads-to-ukraine-military-aid-hub/#google_vignette

According to reports: "Trump demands rare-earth metals from Ukraine
In exchange the US would continue to provide Kiev with support in its conflict with Russia. Trump spoke about "Ukraine possesses Europe’s largest confirmed lithium reserves". But then he has problem because recently "Russia captured Shevchenko, which stops globalists from plundering lithium mines:. The mines are in the Donbass, now Russian territory, so what is he going to do?? freesuriyah.eu/2025/01/12...

For the first time since 1970 The announcement of the establishment of the Supreme Alawite Islamic Council in Syria and the Diaspora comes after the rise of President Hafez-al Assad to power and his subsequent banning of the council. The council aims to establish a homeland in (now Jihadistan) Syria for Alawites, who cannot live under the rule of HTS, because they are Islamists and are on a killing spree against Alawites, Christians and Kurds. The people of Syria have been fighting these terrorists for 13 years; the Islamistso are now praised by more than half of the world. The announcement statement was read by Mr. Basel Ali Al-Khatib, head of the new council. So far, when the takeover was made, sponsored by the US, Turkey, Israel and the West, more than 200 Alawites have died, murdered by HTS. The Alawites will fight back.
Also, the Syrian Resistance's Leadership released a statement:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
To our proud people and the free souls of the nation…
The leadership of the Syrian Popular Resistance has chosen the path of sacrifice and walked the road of martyrdom in the cause of Allah, standing with the oppressed and defending our land and honor. We remain steadfast in our pledge, knowing no retreat, seeking only one of two noble outcomes: victory or martyrdom.
Our resistance has been a cry against injustice, fueled by an unshakable belief that Syria deserves freedom. We knocked on every door, sought financial and military support, but no one answered. We carried our weapons with what little we had, sold our possessions to raise the banner of resistance, and left our families even before the fall of the Syrian state—we have not seen them since. We have sacrificed everything for a cause we believed in until our last breath.

🍎 Zoologists are constantly coming up with new activities for Masha. She especially enjoys searching for treats. The specialists hide them around the enclosure, wrap them in paper, and place them inside toys. It turns out to be both tasty and entertaining!

Trump een tijdperk van nieuw kolonialisme en facisme is aangebroken
rump belooft Amerika weer groot te maken, hij meent het letterlijk, hij geeft geen moer om andere landen, foto’s: Getty Images, YouTube, Cartoon Stock, bewerking: Mirjam© Photo

In Europa dacht men dat Rusland aan Trumps kant stond, daar werden hele artikelen aan gewijd, of hoe blij het Kremlin zou zijn als Trump gekozen zou worden. Dat president Poetin zijn voorkeur uitsprak (als hij dus een Amerikaan was geweest) voor Kamela Harris, was ironisch bedoeld zeiden ze in de vele artikelen die de reguliere media erover schreven, maar hij bedoelde het serieus, onderhandelen met politici is makkelijker dan met een businessman en een clan zoals de Trump-clan. Net zoals ze nu niet genoeg kunnen krijgen van het dagelijks vermelden wanneer Trump en Poetin eindelijk samen komen om te spreken over vrede of zoals sommige media suggeren een wapenstilstand. Bijna elke dag moet het Kremlin deze berichten ‘weerleggen’ met de mededeling dat er nog geen concrete plannen zijn voor een ontmoeting.

Misschien heeft het Kremlin door hoe Trump is en hoe hij opereert. Hij is tenslotte degene die sancties aan Rusland heeft opgelegd en allerlei verdragen heeft beëindigd, waarvan het gevaarlijkste het INF-wapenbeheersingsverdrag is, dit betrof de nucleaire wapenwedloop, nu heeeft in pricipe ieder land het recht om nucleaire wapens aan te schaffen. Trump dacht in zijn domheid en grootsheidswaanzin dat het goed voor Amerika was, daar hij heeft hij de plank volkomen mis geslagen.

⚡️Welcome back!

On 5 February, as a result of the negotiation process, 150 Russian servicemen were returned from the territory controlled by the Kiev regime.

150 AFU POWs were returned as a result of the exchange.

At present, all Russian servicemen are on the territory of the Republic of Belarus, where they are being provided with the necessary psychological and medical assistance and given the opportunity to contact their relatives.

All released servicemen will be taken to the Russian Federation for treatment and rehabilitation in medical institutions of the Russian Defence Ministry.

During the return of Russian servicemen from captivity, humanitarian mediation efforts were provided by the United Arab Emirates.

Moldova’s election rigging… welcome to the totalitarian, Russophobic EU
The obsessively Russophobic EU leadership is frantically distorting national elections to thwart any parties that are calling for more peaceful relations with Russia.
With hilarious irony, the European Union accuses Russia of interfering in elections and subverting democracy. This is while the obsessively Russophobic EU leadership is frantically distorting national elections to thwart any parties that are calling for more peaceful relations with Russia.
Recently, we have seen this attack on democracy by the EU in Moldava, Georgia, and Romania. The EU leadership is acting as a totalitarian, anti-Russia dictatorship. Disturbingly, anyone who questions the official narrative is smeared as an agent of Russian interference, or Moscow is directly condemned for infringing sovereignty.
Take Moldova, which borders Ukraine and whose president is an ardent supporter of the NATO proxy war against Russia. Moldova also has a breakaway region, Transnistria, which is aligned with Russia. https://strategic-culture.su/news/2025/02/05/moldova-election-rigging-welcome-to-totalitarian-russophobic-eu/

The Western world has gone completely crazy: Trump and Netanyahu want to expel Gazans and all EU countries that opposed Israel's genocide must take Gazans in as refugees. As for Ukraine, the next Rammstein meeting is next week and the UK has now taken over from the US. In Germany, Antifa, an ultra-left organization controlled by the Green Left, is making life difficult for the AfD and CDU. Merz is under surveillance and nowhere is safe anymore. Europe has become totally crazy, fascime 2.0. (Israel is the Western world a colonial project).

🏳️ AFU POW Maksim Voloshin: '80 per cent of men in Ukraine do not want to fight'

A prisoner of war, who served in a territorial defence formation of the AFU, spoke about the specifics of mass mobilisation.

'Eighty per cent of people don't want to fight, they were just forced to. If you don't want, then you'll be imprisoned, and you'll have to take part in the war anyway. They left us no choice,' Voloshin said.

Syria's older generation has retained the age-old traditions of hospitality, family authority given to the father figure, mutual assistance in family problems, social control where an uncle, an aunt, a neighbor can express an authoritative word to the neighborhood children, ... for the time being. Syria today has no official government, army, bureaucracy, border police, internal police, ...People are very frightened and Alawites and Christians are abducted from the streets or their houses, but the resistance is striking back:
The Syrian Popular Resistance made a statement: The Nightmare of Terrorist Leaders and the Sword of Justice:
In the darkness of occupation and terrorism, the Syrian Popular Resistance has emerged as a hidden hand, uprooting the heads of treason and criminality. The leaders of terrorist organizations are no longer safe, and their fortresses can no longer protect them from the just retribution.
From Idlib to Deir ez-Zor, from Homs to the countryside of Latakia, names are falling one after another, for everyone to know that no one is above accountability.
Swift strikes… heads falling… a system collapsing.
Terrorist “Abu Abdullah al-Uzbeki”, a leader in Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and the East Turkestan Movement, thought he was far from the reach of the resistance fighters. But, like others, he realized that the hour of reckoning does not show mercy.
Ahmed al-Wazir Abu Akr, one of the heavyweights in the Joulani organization, believed his guards and weapons would protect him, but he fell under the fire of the mujahideen on the night of Saturday, 25/1/2025, leaving behind a leadership vacuum and fear creeping into the hearts of his comrades.
Mohammed Khalid al-Safadi (Abu Sami), a head in the terrorist security apparatus and the head of the so-called “Sheikh Meskin police station,” ruled terrorism with an iron fist, but he did not realize that his grip would loosen forever when the resistance decided to put an end to his existence.
Akram al-Siyah (Abu al-Harith), a militia leader in Deir ez-Zor, was not saved by his allegiance to the Turks nor his loyalty to Joulani. The resistance carried out its sentence against him, making him a lesson for anyone who thinks their betrayal will last.
Salem Janbaz, Muhyiddin al-Turki, and Abdul Rahman Qaz Ali all fell in well-executed ambushes by the resistance fighters, in operations that shook the enemy’s system and proved that the hand of the resistance reaches everywhere.
Mohammed Khaled Kanaan and Abu Abdo Talbisa thought Joulani would save them, but the resistance does not forget or forgive. Today, their names are just a dark memory in the record of traitors.
Message to the enemy: You are targeted, and escaping will not help you.
Anyone who has carried a weapon against the Syrian people, or worked to serve the Turkish, Zionist, and American occupiers and their agents, is a legitimate target. Retribution will reach them wherever they are. The resistance does not negotiate, does not forget, and does not forgive. Every step you take, every meeting you hold, every place you think is safe, may be the last thing you know in this life. There is nothing before you but the flames of revenge.

Sandu’s radical, anti-Russian politics are considered by many people within Moldova and also even by other EU members as being irresponsible and untenable.
One such radical idea is for Moldova to join Romania and thus quickly become a member of the European Union, thereby circumventing pro-Russian parties within Moldova.
These notions held by Sandu are not well received in the EU. The prospect of uniting Moldova and Romania into one state would contradict the West’s condemnation of Russia for allegedly redrawing borders in Donbass and Crimea (albeit not factually equivalent).
Such a move by Moldova and Romania would also undermine the EU’s criticism of U.S. President Trump’s ambitions to acquire Greenland from Denmark. EU leaders have been rebuking Trump, saying that international borders are inviolable.

Dzerzjinsk een plaats in de Donbass Volksrepubliek Donetsk bevrijd en waarom het belangrijk is
Dzerzjinsk voorheen bekend als Toretsk is bevrijd een stad in de Donbass, ook het nabij gelegen Druzba, Foto’s: MOD, Donbass News, City of Dzerzjinsk, bewerking: Mirjam©Photo
Waarom is deze plek belangrijk voor Rusland, maar natuurlijk ook voor de mensen in Donbass?
De stad zelf werd in 1806 gesticht door het toenmalige Russische tsaristische rijk. Eind jaren 1830 werden er steenkoollagen in het gebied ontdekt en werd het gebied ontwikkeld voor steenkoolwinning. In 1917 werd het onderdeel van de Sovjet-Unie. In 1936 werd het omgedoopt tot Dzerzhynsk, naar Felix Dzerzhinsky.
Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd Dzerzhynsk van 22 oktober 1941 tot 5 september 1943 bezet door nazi-Duitsland. Tijdens de bezetting doodden de Duitsers 150 burgers en deporteerden 1.460 mensen naar Duitsland voor dwangarbeid.
Eind jaren 1830 werden er steenkoollagen ontdekt in het gebied en werd het gebied ontwikkeld voor steenkoolwinning. Tijdens de Sovjet-Unie waren er verschillende steenkoolmijnen, maar ook een fabriek, de Phenol Plant fabriek opgericht in de jaren 1950 en erg belangrijk voor de steenkoolproductie in die tijd.
De industrieën van de stad omvatten vroeger dus onder meer kolenwinning, de productie van cokeschemicaliën, maar ook keramiek en fenol.
” Fenol is een veelgebruikte grondstof voor de productie van allerlei kunststoffen. De stof wordt bijvoorbeeld verwerkt in bakeliet en geneesmiddelen. Ook komt fenol voor in beginproducten van nylon, smeerolie en chemische bestrijdingsmiddelen. De stof is dan ook een belangrijk tussenproduct in de chemische industrie”.
