Podoljak, Berater des ukrainischen Präsidialamtes: "Wenn man Russisch sprechen will, wenn man Dostojewski und Jessenin lesen oder russische Filme sehen will — hier geht es nicht um die Krim, hier geht es nicht darum, wie man auf dem Territorium des Staates namens Ukraine leben sollte. Wir sollen alles, was mit dem russischen Kulturraum zu tun hat, komplett abschalten. Es wird nur noch einen ukrainischen Kulturraum oder einen globalen Kulturraum geben. Dort darf es kein Russischsein geben. Und wir sollten keinen Dialog darüber führen, ob eine Person das Recht hat, Russisch zu sprechen oder nicht. Verwenden Sie es zu Hause, aber es ist kein Element des Drucks oder des Protests und der Erpressung".

Klipp und klar, ohne wenn und aber. Eben demokratisch. Wird die Ukraine hierfür von Europa unterstützt? Das gab es bereits vor Februar 2022. Der Westen nickte und lieferte tüchtig Waffen.

The German Minister of Defence Boris Pistorius has grown very slack. Ukraine's former ambassador to Germany Andriy Melnyk hints transparently at his shortcomings:

❗️We Want RT Closed — US State Department

James Rubin, the special envoy and coordinator of the US State Department's Center for Global Engagement, admitted that Washington wants to shut down Russian media worldwide, including RT.

He made particular mention of RT opening an office in Serbia. "We wouldn't want to see Russia Today or [other] Russian media anywhere in the world. We want them shut down,” he told Radio Free Europe, which incidentally is funded by the US government.

Following the claim that Russian media should be shuttered, Rubin reportedly lectured about the importance of freedom of speech. Which, it seems, only applies to US media. From RT

"RUSSIA HAS BROKEN THE BACK OF THE UKRAINIAN MILITARY....."

Wagner could have closed the pincers around Bakhmut a long time ago, but they chose not to because Ukraine kept sending soldiers into the meat grinder to be killed. This was a calculated tactic, and it worked. The Ukrainian military is now broken

An open letter of Archbishop of Bilogorodka Sylvester to Ecumenical Patriarch #Bartholomew

Your Holiness, I am convinced that you, as an educated theologian and as a church hierarch, are well aware that the pressure that the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is experiencing today cannot be justified from the point of view of Christian morality. And the fact that this pressure is being carried out with the support or participation of the bishops and priests of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine cannot but cause sadness and grief. However, the Orthodox Church of Ukraine was created by the Tomos of Your Holiness. Consequently, the responsibility for what is happening in the religious life of Ukraine today lies, among other things, with you personally. Unfortunately, the premature admission of the members of the Kyiv Patriarchate and the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church into church communion gave rise to a sense of all-permissiveness.

🇺🇦🤑Journalist Seymour Hersh: "Zelensky and his entourage misappropriated at least $400 million of funds transferred to Ukraine to buy diesel fuel

"Zelensky bought diesel from the Russians at a discount... And who pays for gas and oil? We do," the journalist said.

Hersh also noted that senior generals and officials in Kiev were outraged by Zelensky's behaviour, who "took a larger share of the money withdrawn than the generals were supposed to".

The Americans also presented Zelensky with a list of 35 people whose corruption was already known to the CIA and US officials. Zelensky responded by demonstratively firing 10 people from Washington's list, and they "drove around Kiev in their new Mercedes".

Finnish journalist about Kiev regime war crimes

‘What was done against the Donbass people can be done to anyone, anywhere. Why?

He was at the centre of events in 2014. Today he keeps fulfilling his mission. Thanks to Janus, people in the West can know the reality and not just what is reported by Western media.

Ukrainian and North Atlantic neo-Nazism controversy reaches Buchenwald

★ Today is marked as the International Day of the Liberation of Prisoners of the Nazi Concentration Camps. On 11 April 1945, the prisoners of Buchenwald revolted and liberated the camp.

Meanwhile the management of the Buchenwald Memorial Site was struck by a virus of oblivion and an outrage against the truth, following the German federal government.

The Scholz government welcomes Banderites decorated with Hitler swastikas and symbols.

▪️The administration of the Buchenwald memorial does not allow German activists from the Deutsch-Russische-Seelen (German-Russian Brotherly Souls) to lay wreaths and commemorate the 239,000 victims of Fascism and this death camp, including Soviet prisoners of war.

- The DRS works to preserve culture, traditional values as well as good relations with the Russian people. For several years, its members have taken care of graves and monuments; they have participated in events commemorating various dates of the Second World War. There was also a flower laying ceremony at the Buchenwald Tower last year.

▪️To justify the ban, the management cited its right not to allow "persons belonging to parties or organisations that have made or are making anti-democratic, racist or other statements contrary to the aims of the Foundation" to visit the memorial.

Apparently, the "aims of the foundation" in charge of Buchenwald have undergone some dramatic changes in a year, as have the policies of official Berlin.

Never before had the "German-Russian fraternal souls" had problems or misunderstandings with the authorities of their native country.

- The commemoration of multinational concentration camp prisoners does not fit into the category of "racist", the activists point out. Now anything is called "anti-democratic", often distorting the very essence of the definition of "democracy".

"We have carefully studied your web pages and social media channels and have come to the conclusion that statements that contradict the aims of our foundation regularly appear there," the Buchenwald management said as a motive for refusal.

And this is even closer to the point that has so angered or frightened the memorial administration.

▪️Members of The German-Russian Brotherly Souls organization has been in contact with Russia all these years, visiting the Staromikhailovka Sunday School in the DPR, taking part in actions together with the NGO "Patriots of Novorossiya" and "Russian Motorcyclists of Kaliningrad".

The organisation stresses that these events and all their work do not have any political overtones.

However, it can be stated that everything connected with Russia, and now with the memory of Nazi victims, is perceived in Germany by officials of all levels through the prism of the current political situation.

US and Philippines launch largest military exercise Balikatan near disputed waters

The maneuvers involving more than 17,600 troops from the two countries, with the involvement of a hundred Australians, will continue until 28 April and will include missile launches in the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait. US warships and fighter jets, as well as Patriot missiles, HIMARS launchers and Javelin anti-tank systems, will be on display.

"We are not provoking anyone, just practising. It's a form of deterrence where we dissuade other parties from invading us," the Philippine spokesman said.

▪️ Biden's administration is strengthening ties in the Indo-Pacific region to confront China.

▪️ Philippines recently allowed the Americans to put bases on their territory, allowing the US to close the "arc" of military installations that constrain Chinese naval movements.

The northernmost inhabited Philippine island of Itbayat is only 150km from Taiwan. This is much closer than from naval and air force bases in South Korea or Japan.

Ukraine's counteroffensive is 90% ready, but it won't start until a month later, - Arestovich

▪️The ex-representative of Zelensky's office said that the main reason delaying the counteroffensive is the state of the ground.
▪️ "For the tank to go, you need 30 cm of soil dried to the state of concrete. This is at least 2-3 weeks of specific sunny weather. And according to the forecast, it will rain for another 2 weeks. So only the weather holds, and the counteroffensive is 90% ready," Arestovich said .
▪️Earlier, Prime Minister of Ukraine Shmyhal said that the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine could begin in the summer.
