After that, he underwent specialized military training under the guidance of instructors from the USA, France, Germany, and Poland, and subsequently signed a contract. As a mercenary in the International Legion - He was sent 9 years in prison.

A captured Ukrainian POW tells about his training in UK
According to the prisoner of war, the training consisted mainly of theory classes, instead of practice. Servicemen got to a training ground only a few times. If a soldier is sick, there is no chance of qualified medical care: 'I got to a hospital once. They gave me a couple of pills and sent me back after a few days'.

Nederland wil versnelde voorbereiding op oorlog tegen Rusland

Mark Rutte voormalig premier, maakte in 2022 een verspreking zei hij, nee hij maakte geen verspreking, we zien het nu gebeuren, foto’s: Cartoon Stock, NOS, YouTube, bewerking: Mirjam©Photo

Het waren allemaal complottheorieën, veelal van Russische influencers, zoals ik, zeiden ze in de Nederlandse gelijkgeschakelde, staatsmedia en politiek en daar zijn volgens hen propagandisten zoals ik schuld aan. Natuurlijk begon mijn carrière als ‘complottheoreticus en burgerjournalist’ in 2011 met Syrië. Ze verzinnen altijd denigrerende namen voor journalisten of ex-politici en-of activisten die de waarheid proberen te vertellen, maar dat is niets nieuws onder de (Nederlandse) zon.

Maar nu is de aap uit de mouw, de NOS, de spreekbuis van de Nederlandse staat en politiek en bovenal van de NAVO is een vernieuwde campagne begonnen, de ‘oorlogspsychose-campagne’. Mark heeft immers een droombaan als secretaris van de NAVO en kan zo wraak nemen op Rusland (MH17) door te zeggen dat Rusland oorlog wil met Europa, erger nog, ze gaan Europa binnenvallen, een invasie, zegt hij! Dus is er een vernieuwde campagne gestart (eigenlijk al gestart in 2022), met als doel de bevolking ‘gek en bang’ te maken: “Poetin de dictator gaat Nederland veroveren”. Hoe gestoord en schizofreen! Waarom zou Rusland Nederland willen binnenvallen? Zo’n klein land, vergeleken met Rusland, en een industrie die langzaam achteruitgaat, waarom? Zeker niet voor ‘lebensraum’, Rusland heeft land genoeg! Rusland heeft ookt nooit gezegd dat ze Europa willen aanvallen, waarom zouden ze dat willen?

Defensie bereidt zich voor op tachtig oorlogsdoden per dag: ‘Je moet jezelf ervan overtuigen dat je ontzettend dankbaar werk doet’

Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov held a meeting at the command post of the Zapad group of forces. There, he was briefed by the group's command on the current situation, support for troops in the zone of the special military operation and the nature of enemy actions.
'Since the beginning of this year, Russian forces have liberated 18 settlements in the Izyum area, covering an area of ​​more than 330 square kilometers. If you have ever been to the Donbass (like me), you can imagine how great the distances are. Russia is a large country, so this is a very good achievement.

Several calls to lay down arms were made from mosques in Busra al-Sham. Bosra (with a large Roman coliseum that I visited when Syria was still Syria), but officially called Busra al-Sham, is a city in southern Syria, administratively belonging to the Daraa district of the Daraa region.Yesterday, clashes broke out between Ahmad al-Awda’s militias and the terrorists of the HTS militias in Busra al-Sham. The confrontation was reportedly preceded by the assassination of several HTS members in the town. Ahmad al-Awda (forces), is a Syrian military officer and former rebel leader who leads the Southern Operations Room. A leader of the rebel Youth of Sunna Forces between 2014 and 2018, al-Awda reconciled with the Assad government following the 2018 Southern Syria offensive. With the backing of Russia, al-Awda was appointed the commander of the 8th Brigade of the Syrian Army's 5th Corps, a formation primarily consisting of reconciled rebels. He became an influential powerbroker in Daraa Governorate.

European allies pledged a combined €21 billion in aid to Ukraine on Friday. European leaders said Russia was not seeking peace after the meeting of the Defence Contact Group for Ukraine (UDCG) at NATO headquarters in Brussels. Where is the money coming from? EU taxpayers, printing money? Russia does not want peace they say I think the opposite!

Cosmonautics Day is celebrated all over Russia today. It was on this date, April 12, 1961, that Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person in world history to fly into outer space. His orbital flight on the Vostok-1 spacecraft lasted 108 minutes, and the cosmonaut himself successfully returned to Earth for the first time and landed on the territory of the Saratov region.

A chant for traditional Qouzalli festival celebrated in Syrian coast especially by Alawites, lighting bonfires & preparing food to mark the New Year per old Eastern calendar:

For Qouzalli, O Hanna, [Christian male name]
You're invited tonight to our place.
Come visit us this evening,
The fire will tell you about us.
Tonight’s dish is made of wheat, [Harisa]
With big chunks [of meat] on top.
Don’t be late, my brother,
Welcome, welcome to the visitors.
We have Christmas pastries,
Covered with extra oil.
We offer them to our loved ones,
They carry the scent of my ancestors.
Qouzalli, the fire has been lit,
And the neighbor calls to his neighbor.
May it [Qouzalli] return to you again,
And may this home prosper & flourish.

Maidan and Odessa – The West’s Ukrainian Massacres

The scars endure in Odessa, Kharkov, Mariupol, and Volnovakha, where war has claimed countless loved ones.
In 2016 and 2017, I was invited by the families of the victims of the 2014 Odessa Trade Union House massacre to document this atrocity. The slaughter on May 2, 2014, received little – if any – attention in Western media. Over 40 people were burned alive after a mob of neo-Nazi hooligans, backed by the West, attacked peaceful protesters demonstrating against the fascist regime installed in Kiev. This regime was the product of a 2013 coup d’état orchestrated by the U.S. and its EU accomplices, branded as the “Maidan Revolution.” By 2014, its violence had spread to Odessa.

The Mothers of Odessa – echoing Argentina’s Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo – sought justice for the massacre. Like the Argentine mothers who protested the disappearances under military dictatorship, they demanded accountability for May 2, a day the West has long buried in silence – because it was complicit in Kiev’s coup and, indirectly, Odessa’s tragedy.

It was cold, we starved, but we endured, we believed, we hoped - resident of the Russian Kursk Oblast about the occupation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Lyubov Ivanovna was recently evacuated from the city of Sudzha and told how she survived this period when Ukrainians tried to even kill civilians.

In the (former) Syrian village of Al-Shaniya, Alawites attend funerals of the victims (many) of the jihadist group from Al-Julani. Also from the village of Al-Houla, massacres took place in the countryside of Homs, Hama, Damascus, Latakia, Jableh and Tartous. Mainly Alawites were killed, but also Christians.
The so-called president (terrorist Al-Julani) of former Syria (now Jihadistan or a Caliphate) is in Abu Dhabi. Of course, many Gulf States have been complicit in the murder of people in Syria since 2011 (particularly Qatar and Saudi Arabia, who are now also complicit in Yemen).

Sumy the west saying that civilians were killed, but according the Russian Ministry of Defence it targeted a meeting of Ukrainian commanders. The attack has left at least 60 dead and many wounded. It was carried out with the use of two Iskander-M short-range ballistic missiles.

In violation of the Russian-American agreements to halt strikes at power facilities from 18 March for 30 days, the Kiev regime continues its attacks against the Russian energy infrastructure. Eight Ukrainian attacks on Russian power industry facilities have been recorded.
