🇲🇩"Europeans are deceivers. The West is a territory that wants to plant lies on our people by any means necessary".

This was said by the leader of the Moldovan political bloc "Victory", Ilan Shor, on the sidelines of the international forum "Leaders of Eurasia".

According to him, the Europeans who came to Moldova talk about free elections, but the opposition parties are not allowed to take part in them.

There is no freedom of speech, only censorship - 14 channels have been closed in the republic in a year, Shor said.

❗️The Italian magazine Sovranità Popolare published an interview with a Ukrainian military officer called Alexander (name changed for security reasons) who escaped from a training camp in Poland.

The man says he never wanted to go to war. His mother tongue is Russian. He is 24 and lived in Kiev.
Now he lives in Europe.
The reason for talking to journalists was security. He wants to influence the situation in Ukraine.
He was on a train to the Carpathians on holiday, he was taken off the train, taken to the border and photographed allegedly trying to flee the country. They forced him to sign a paper, which he refused to give to a lawyer. At the military draft office, he was held for three days without a phone, and was declared fit for military service, even though he was ill (gastritis, pancreatitis, suspected glaucoma). There are many such sick people at the shooting range. They were made to sign documents stating that they were volunteers. They are very old: around 50 years old. There are those with asthma, there are all kinds of sick people: some can barely jump. They asked him what he did for a living.
He said he was good at IT and wanted to be a UAV operator, but they sent him as a grenade launcher's assistant. Real skills don't count. Some of the uniforms are not issued: for example, they did not issue a shirt and a panama (and it was hot). The form is all big and fat. The salary is only 21 thousand UAH ($510). There is bullying. Alexander was bullied because of his long hair. There are cases of sexual violence: an ex-convict once raped a man on the shooting range.
Alexander ended up in Poland to train as a tank driver. He went to Poland. Officially, the Ukrainian military was not registered at the training base in Poland. Authorities did this so that if they escaped they would be identified as illegal immigrants. The Poles treat the Ukrainians as expendable. They say: "You will do our work. The Russians you kill, we don't have to kill". They threaten to send them to the front if anything happens. Ukrainian students studying in Poland work as interpreters. There are guards at the shooting range. There are people watching them. Probably secret service. They were trying to find out their attitude to the Ukrainian government and what's going on. They were interested in the Ukrainian nationalists. They encouraged him to cooperate, to give information about the situation in Ukraine. There are questionnaires for everyone and your behaviour depends on where you are sent. They threatened to send stormtroopers. The Poles ask: "What will happen to Ukraine if you lose?". He thinks they want Western Ukraine. It is unreal to hear anything good about Zelensky. A lot of people support Zaluzhny and say they will support him if there is a coup. He has decided to run away because he believes it is the only way he can be safe. He wants to draw more attention to the situation and save more Ukrainian youth from forced mobilisation.
