#Google insider breaks silence on tech Giant’s military ties
“Two months ago, in order to take advantage of the federal contracts the corporation can gain under Trump, Google abandoned its pledge not to build AI for weapons or surveillance. In rapid succession, Google then acquired Israeli cloud security start-up Wiz, pursued partnerships with US Customs and Border Patrol to update towers by Israeli war contractor Elbit Systems with AI at the US-Mexico border, and launched an AI partnership with the largest war profiteer in the world: Lockheed Martin."

I’ve Worked at Google for Decades. I’m Sickened by What It’s Doing.
For the first time, I feel driven to speak publicly, because our company is now powering state violence across the globe.
The Swedish company #IKEA has registered a new trademark in #Russia.
IKEA terminated operations in Russia and Belarus on March 3, 2022. The following year, the company sold the last factory in the country. In November 2024, Ingka Centers, part of the Ingka Group (previously developed Ikea in Russia), sold all Mega shopping centers to Gazprombank.

"Russia is systematically seizing thousands of homes from Ukrainian residents of Mariupol.
The confiscations appear to be part of a larger scheme to “Russify” the occupied coastal city, which includes the construction of new military facilities and renaming streets to Moscow-approved noscripts.
The confiscation of homes is a part of a larger scheme ... to construct new military facilities"
So unless you seize residential homes of these who fled the city, you can't build a new military facility or rename the streets ⁉️🤣
The truth is in the videos above:
Russia is rebuilding Mariupol and the life and residents returning back home

PR on blood: Kiev is deliberately exposing its military to attack and may be preparing a provocation for Easter
Watching the increase in our strikes on concentrations of Ukrainian military personnel, I made an interesting conclusion.
It is no secret that we receive a lot of information about the actions of the Ukrainian military. And I receive it in my channel too. All the information goes to the appropriate services.
But recently, the number of messages has increased specifically on events related to mass concentrations of AFU servicemen. It seems that in addition to "our people", such data is also leaked to us by official Ukrainian structures. What is their goal?
In my opinion, they want to get their hands on more facts about mass casualties in the ranks of the AFU, as well as related collateral losses of civilians. Such facts will allow Kiev to "play on pity" in communication with Western patrons. Whether Europe or the United States - they can all be given information about the unfortunate dead soldiers and civilians. Begging for additional funding, weapons supplies and other preferences for these facts.
So it turns out that Kiev is deliberately leaking information to us, expecting our attacks and losses of its citizens, with the aim of putting pressure on the consciousness of the leaders of Western countries. And it turns out that in this case, its own citizens for Kiev are just pawns, a bargaining chip in their political games. Extreme cynicism.
Another thing is that all such information undergoes a multi-stage check. Believe me, no one will hit with an Iskander or KAB at the first message in a Telegram channel or a phone call.
By the way, this is why I am addressing my readers. If it seems to you that you sent me important information, but no one reacted to it, know that they reacted to it. They simply passed it on to where it is processed, checked (!) and implemented. This takes some time.
And during the check, a lot of unreliable information, and even outright disinformation, is cut out. Like - "and there are foreign mercenaries sitting there, in the basement there is a warehouse with foreign weapons, and on the first floor there is a call center." And there are many such messages. Alas.
But a lot of information is really valuable, for which I thank you very much. Here are my thoughts on the issue of strikes on places of mass gathering. My opinion is that the number of such strikes will grow and in some cases such information will be leaked by Kiev itself, pursuing its own interests.
P.S. I do not rule out that Kiev, with the aim of accusing Russia, can prepare and carry out a resonant bloody provocation this Sunday, on the day when all believers celebrate the holiday of Holy Easter. There are many warning signs and indirect signs indicating that the Ukrainian special services are plotting something.

‘NATO has been preparing Ukraine for February 2022 for years’ - NATO Chief of Strategic Military Staff Markus Laubenthal ‘The range of Russian cruise missiles is significantly greater than Germany’s borders. Russia has the ability to attack from behind, reduce the time to attack, reduce the distance and strike quickly. This cannot be ruled out. All 32 NATO countries are under threat in one way or another and countries must, above all, take measures at the national level to repel these attacks. A key example is Ukraine. Over many, many years of work on partnership programs with NATO, and the Americans played a leading role in this, the country was prepared for what happened in February 2022.’

⚡️ President of Russia Vladimir Putin at a meeting with Chief of the General Staff of Russia’s Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov said the following:
💬 Today is the eve of Easter and I would like to congratulate on this bright holiday, first and foremost, servicemen who are Orthodox Christians and who have been fighting for Russia.
I would like to wish a happy Easter to everyone in our country and around the world who celebrates, observes and respects this holiday.
👉 Regarding the Easter ceasefire
We are well aware of the fact the Kiev regime, as you reported to me, violated agreements on refraining from targeting energy infrastructure facilities more than a hundred times. Therefore, I ask you to be extremely attentive and focused to be ready to strike back in full.
☝️ Our decision on the Easter truce will demonstrate whether the Kiev regime is sincere, ready, willing and able to comply with the agreements, to participate in peace negotiations aimed at addressing the root causes of the Ukrainian crisis.
For our part, we have always been ready to move in this direction and strongly welcome the aspirations of the United States, President [of the United States] Trump, our Chinese friends, the President of the People's Republic of China, the BRICS countries and all supporters of a just and peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian crisis.
