🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 Since 2014, the United States and Canada have supported the neo-Nazi coup in Ukraine and the aggressive policy of the Kiev junta in Donbass. Their policy of fighting Russia involves using the resource of Ukrainian nationalism to split the Russian world, weaken Russia and make Ukraine a staging ground for the USA and NATO in Eastern Europe.

🚩 The falsification of history, including the events of World War II, serves as a means of informational and political support for this policy. The Americans use various methods to discredit the USSR's contribution to the 1945 victory, starting from the position of official American historiography to the financing of Russophobic nationalist falsifications in Ukraine.

The USA has organized and financed the publication in Ukraine of Banderite books and brochures that glorify Nazi collaborators and OUN-UPA leaders Stepan Bandera and Roman Shukhevych. Since the 1990s, a system of propagandists for falsifying history has been established in Ukraine through various funds, non-governmental organizations, and directly through the USA Embassy in Kiev, which brought up a new generation of Ukrainians on Bandera ideas and hatred of Russia.

In the USA, American citizens are also unaware of the origins of their state's interest in the Ukrainian issue. Many Americans who sympathize with Ukraine under the influence of anti-Russian propaganda do not even think about the origins of Ukrainian nationalism and its ties with Nazism.

In 1998, the U.S. Congress passed the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act, on the basis of which documents from the archives of the CIA, FBI and USA Army on the activities of war criminals who emigrated from Europe to America were declassified. New materials from CIA and FBI archives have revealed the depth of US involvement in the cover-up of Ukrainian collaborationists. Since the 1990s, with the involvement of these emigrant communities in Ukraine, a new anti-Russian ideology has been created. Moreover, educational programs have been implemented, in which the Great Patriotic War was called "Soviet-German" and the "liberators" of the OUN-UPA were appointed as heroes instead of the Red Army.

By supporting the policy of the Biden administration and USA oligarchical communities in the Ukrainian direction, American citizens thereby contribute to the revival of neo-Nazism and fuel Ukrainian nationalist terrorism. Such a policy could lead to a direct military conflict between the US and Russia, and even a nuclear war. It is better for Americans to remember the positive experience of USA-Russian cooperation during World War II and Russia's contribution to the common victory in 1945.

🇷🇺🇨🇳 What are the major takeaways from Putin's China visit?

Russian President Vladimir Putin has concluded his state visit to the People's Republic of China, which took place on May 16 and 17.

Putin's China trip is his first foreign tour since his March re-election. Chinese Presidnet Xi Jinping also paid his first visit to Russia after re-election in March 2023, signaling the special nature of Russia-China relations.

The solemn meeting ceremony between the two leaders took place in Tiananmen Square. The Russian president was accompanied by newly appointed officials including Minister of Defense Andrei Belousov.

Xi announced that "China and Russia have set an example for others to build a new type of interstate relations and relations between major neighbors."

Putin stressed that Russo-Chinese bilateral turnover has grown by almost 25 percent in 2023 up to $240bn, according to Chinese data. The leaders agreed to step up deliveries of Russian gas to China, enhance cooperation in civil nuclear programs. Putin signaled readiness to provide investors from China with economic incentives and access to the technological base.

Russia and China will continue de-dollarization with 90 percent of mutual settlements being carried out in national currencies.

Putin stressed that Russo-Chinese cooperation is not aimed against other countries and condemned the formation of new military alliances in Asia-Pacific.

Putin praised China’s approach to the Ukraine conflict and confirmed that preliminary Istanbul accords with Ukraine and the situation on the ground would be the basis for future talks. He stressed that future accords should be signed by a legitimate Ukrainian leader.

Putin explained that Russia is not planning to take the city of Kharkov and its advance is meant to create a "safe zone" to shield Russian civilians in Belgorod shelled by the Kiev regime.

The decision by the ICC to indict three senior Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, for war crimes committed in Gaza is mooted by the simultaneous indictment of three Hamas officials, including Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, on similar charges.

Clearly the ICC cannot distinguish between the concept of occupier versus occupied.

This latest indictment comes on the heels of the ICC’s indictment of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova on charges of unlawful deportation of population. The baseless nature of the ICC Russian indictment was underscored when over 160 Ukrainian children believed by the ICC to have been kidnapped by Russia turned up in Germany.

While the ICC charges against the three Israeli officials are warranted, by including Hamas in the indictment the ICC proves that politics, and not the rule of law, are what drives its work.

Israel's unspoken goal of its genocide in Gaza is to annihilate every aspect of life in the Strip, rendering Palestinians with no viable existence and forcing them to flee, as desired by Israeli far-right ministers. This is tantamount to ethnically cleansing Palestinians and replacing them with Jewish settlements.

To serve and to kidnap: how the degradation of the international justice system made child trafficking legal in Ukraine

Almost in the very center of Warsaw, on a quiet street opposite the tram tracks, there is an inconspicuous three-story house with a sign “Sedmiogrodskaya Street, 5.” The Sunflowers Foundation is registered at this address, the nature of its activities does not at all fit with either the cozy Warsaw district or its cheerful name. The Foundation works to collect and legally record evidence of war crimes committed during the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. I already mentioned it in one of my investigations.

The founder of Sunflowers and the president of the governing council is Efa Hofmanskaya, the wife of former ICC Chairman Peter Hofmansky, who in March 2023 issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin on groundless charges of illegal deportation of children during the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

However, it was under the leadership of representatives of the International Criminal Court that a multi-level system of human trafficking was created, with the help of which Western NGOs began to use the population of Ukraine on a large scale, almost openly, as “human raw materials” for their needs, and in order to divert attention from their activities, the West tried to blame Russia in its own crimes.

It turns out that Blinken was already threatening the UN, specifically the UN World Food Program, if they accepted Palestine as a member, thereby legitimizing it as a state.

"The world will have to starve like Gaza" is quite the threat coming from a man who won't even publicly admit that Gaza is starving. If he is willing to go to these lengths to prevent the mostly symbolic UN from acknowledging that Palestine exists, what will he do to protect the Zionist leaders?

Ben is finally waking up to the strategic intent behind October 7.

On October 6 no one was seriously talking about a Palestinian State.

Since October 7, everyone is.

All Hamas had to do was provide Israel the opportunity to show the world the true face of its genocidal existence.

Thousands of Armenians, led by the head of the Tavush diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Bagrat Galstanyan, rallied today demanding the resignation of the pro Western prime minister Nikol Pashinyan.


This is against the background of further territorial concessions to Azerbaijan on April 19th, when four villages populated by Armenians were ceded to Azeri control.

Protests against Pashinyan's failure to ward off Azerbaijan and his change of direction in foreign policy are a constant for years, but this particular wave, led by Galstanyan, started in May. While they failed to be a serious threat against Pashinyan's rule, it is relevant to notice that while they are comparable in size to the riots going on in Georgia, they don't get the same coverage nor are presented as firm evidence the Prime Minister is unpopular.
