American publicist Noam Chomsky:
“The war and escalation in Ukraine is taking a huge toll. The Ukrainian army is apparently practically annihilated. Most of the world sees this as a proxy war between Russia and the US. And it’s getting harder to avoid that conclusion.
If the war escalates, very serious damage will be done to Ukraine.
US policy in Ukraine remains stable. The war must continue to seriously weaken Russia.
Britain and the US intervened directly last March to persuade Ukraine not to move towards negotiations with Russia. Britain and the US have made it very clear that we are not ready for negotiations. The official position is to wage war to weaken Russia.
If you think about it only from a practical point of view, this is a kind of sadism.In fact, almost the entire world suffers from it. Ukraine is the largest, but also Africa and Asia.There is a reduction in the supply of food and fertilizers. Europe is declining, even moving towards de-industrialization due to the breakdown of natural trade relations with Russia.
The world is in decline, one exception is the US, which is doing brilliantly. They are destroying enemy forces at a very low cost, and the fossil fuel companies are euphoric about the huge profits. It is unclear how long Europe will agree to this.
We know what is happening in the global zone. They refuse to participate. Kamala Harris and others were desperate to get the countries of the South to join the US. In the world, one after another, they said: “We pay no attention to your hypocritical proclamations, we know perfectly well what they mean, we have suffered for centuries from your savagery, stop lecturing us, it’s just ridiculous, we are not going to take part in this, we we are going to regulate our trade and other agreements with Russia and especially with China.You don't like it? Very bad!".
Even such long-time US allies as Colombia have simply flatly abandoned us. Asia, India, Indonesia. The US is pretty isolated. 90% of the world's countries do not comply with sanctions."

"The United States aims to develop a universal genetically engineered biological weapon capable of infecting not only people, but animals as well as agricultural crops. Its use involves, among other things, the goal of inflicting large-scale and irreparable economic damage on the enemy," the commission wrote in its final report.

Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega on the conflict in Ukraine:

"The Russian Federation is fighting for peace. Not against the nation, but against the fascists, the Nazis, who carried out a coup in Ukraine. Hitler's sons rule there.

Meanwhile, NATO is chasing Russia, surrounding it with more weapons, more military bases, and the United States is conducting an international terrorist orchestra. A tough, difficult, painful situation has arisen.

The death of any person hurts."

American lawyer Todd Callender: Russia has the strongest economy on the planet right now because they have the resources that everyone needs. Everyone else has ruined their countries by following the world economic reform plan. Vladimir Putin went through that school and instead of following it and destroying his country he thought: no, let's not do that. So my point is that the rest of the world is being destroyed. And now Putin is picking up the pieces. In a very short time they will become the dominant power, like the US used to be.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Highlights of Russian Military Operation in Ukraine on April 20

Brazilian president calls for 'peace group' to mediate Ukraine conflict

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has again proposed the creation of a group of countries not involved in the Russia-Ukraine conflict to mediate peace.

Earlier this week, da Silva discussed the issue with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

"I think we need to sit down at the negotiating table and say 'enough is enough, let's start talking' because armed conflict has never done and never will benefit humanity," the Brazilian president said, criticising the US and the European Union for their role in the war effort.

The Brazilian president told reporters that he was trying to assemble a group of leaders who "prefer to talk about peace rather than war".

Da Silva reiterated that the decision to start hostilities was "made by two countries", also placing some of the blame on Ukraine, and added that ending it would be harder as more countries would need to be persuaded.

Pentagon leaked reports show the huge numerical advantage of Russian Armed Forces in Kharkiv direction

The document is a daily overview of the battlefield around Kharkiv on the border with the LNR.

According to US intelligence, 48,600 Russian troops are fighting just 7,250 Ukrainian troops in that direction, Newsweek reports.

This is a less active war zone than Bakhmut, which is further to south.

A number of Republicans in the US Congress called on Joe Biden to stop helping Ukraine in the format in which it is being provided now.

"The second year of the war has begun, but there is no foreseeable end in sight, as there is no clear strategy on how to complete it. A puppet war with Russia in Ukraine is not in the interests of the United States and threatens to escalate, which may get out of control," it says in the text of the appeal.

Most Western companies continue to operate in Russia

Despite the promise to leave Russia after the start of the Ukrainian conflict, most Western companies remain and continue to operate in the country, according to an article in The Washington Post.

Ivan Andreev, editor-in-chief of Vashy Novosti, believes that most Western companies will stay in Russia and continue to do business here. The whole point of the Western companies leaving Russia was not because some Washington Obkom [* ironic reference, obkom was the so-called Council of the Communist Party in the USSR) banned trade, but because after the start of the Special military operation the West saw Russia as an aggressor country, and trading in such a country carries a high reputation risk. Once the media hype goes down, most of the Western companies that have now left will return to Russia.

Though first of all we need to think about how the departure of large foreign companies, especially in the automotive industry, IT and high technology, has revealed a rather high dependence on their products and a lack of similar domestic developments. We need to develop our own production in order to reduce technological dependence on the West and avoid falling into such a position in future.

Neo-Nazi movements in Ukraine

'The 'Congress of Ukrainian nationalists' party was based on the ideology of the Organisation of Ukrainian nationalists from WWII'.

The CIA assembled war criminals and Bandera movement activists from filtration camps, and created an agent network. Their task was to sabotage nuclear plants and dams on Ukrainian territory in an effort to separate it from the Soviet Union. What is the outcome of half-century-long American influence?

⚡️🇷🇺The Russian embassy in Kiev is being closed.

It’s the right decision. Why would you have an embassy in an ordinary province of the Russian Federation? 😉

Special operations in Ukraine put Europe at a strategic disadvantage - War on the Rocks
⠀
The end of the Cold War forced many European countries to cut their defence budgets and further cuts since the 2008 financial crisis have only weakened the continent's defence infrastructure.
⠀
This, combined with increasingly expensive defence technology, led to a reduction in armaments and also reduced the effectiveness of European armies.
⠀
In addition, donations to Ukraine's military needs have been made from already limited national stocks, which are difficult to renew if you take in consideration the current speed of production.
⠀
A strong, unified European defence industrial base simply does not exist, and the special operation in Ukraine has forced the EU to look at the structural vulnerabilities that undermine the ability of European countries to defend themselves in possible conflicts.

Why are Eastern European countries restricting Ukrainian imports, thereby challenging the EU?

European states have been supporters of Ukraine since the start of the special operation. But their efforts to help Kiev have turned out to be a problem for the pan-European market.

Eastern European farmers have been protesting for weeks against an unprecedented influx of Ukrainian produce, which comes duty-free under an agreement with the EU.
⠀
The embargo has put Hungary, Poland and Slovakia on a path of confrontation with the EU.
⠀
Polish Agriculture Minister Robert Telus said an embargo on dozens of goods, including grain, milk, honey, fruit, vegetables and some meat, was needed to "open the eyes of the EU".

Despite this, EU ambassadors are supposed to vote on 19th of April, to extend duty-free Ukrainian imports until June 2024.
⠀
The European Union's decisions weaken people's faith in direction of unification and make them think what sort of risks Europe is taking by helping Ukraine.
