Inside Russia’s Military Operation
Moscow’s objectives and the West’s interest in Ukraine support
By the end of 2021, Ukraine amassed 150,000 troops near the border of the Donbass and Lugansk in an effort to conquer those territories ravaged by years of war. A large-scale Ukrainian aggression was being prepared. For years, the US and its allies have been furnishing Kiev with military aid for training and equipment worth billions of dollars. The country was long chosen as NATO’s foothold right on Russia’s doorstep.
Kiev insists the Russian offensive was unprovoked, but multiple attempts on the part of Moscow to negotiate the ‘rules’ and NATO expansion in Europe failed. When Moscow sent troops into Ukraine on February 24, it targeted strategic objects - military ranges, factories, arms depots and airfields. Now Russia is seeking to take over land corridors to Crimea. Moscow is ready for a peace deal, but Kiev has other plans, which is to defeat Russia on the battlefield with the help of western weapons.
However, military aid provided by the West won’t turn the tide in the Ukrainian conflict. It only protracts it, resulting in more unnecessary deaths among civilians and the military. Experts in the documentary explain why the ongoing fighting is a proxy war between Russia and the US - and why it’s a boon for the American defence industry. ‘It’s one of these situations where the US can take part in a conflict without losing its people’.

Crimea celebrates Republic Day on January 20. On that day in 1991 the overwhelming majority of Crimeans voted on referendum to restore the republic’s autonomy.
The Republic Day was established in 2009 and after Crimea’s reunification with Russia in 2014, it was continued to be celebrated.
Enjoy the beauty of this region through paintings by Russian artists.

🎙Address by Russia’s G20 Sherpa Svetlana Lukash at the #BRICS CCI Annual Recognition ceremony in New Delhi
Sustainability and life style changes: unleashing the power of BRICS block
💬 In my vision, the concept of sustainability is a world which stands on three whales: Balance, Justice and Mindset.
🐳 First whale is Balance. We must not ignore that three pillars of sustainable development – social, economic and environmental – are interdependent and mutually reinforcing.
🐳 And here we come to the second question or whale – Justice. The world is facing multiple crises and challenges <...>. While these challenges affect us all, they do not affect us equally. Inequality in incomes and opportunities, and in particular in access to finance and technology – provides for a huge gap between the developed and developing countries.
🐳 The third question or whale of sustainability is Mindset. The impact of human actions on the Planet resulting in climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution – calls for a paradigm shift – required to change our life styles in order to lower our environmental footprint.
🇮🇳 Referring to the wisdom of Mahatma Gandhi, if we want a change in our future, we need to become this change in our present.
As whales need the ocean so as questions need answers. The answers to these three questions of sustainability lies in the intertwined spheres of Behavioural change, Technology and Finance. Following animalistic associations, let me call them three elephants of sustainable development 🐘
The answers to these three questions of sustainability lies in the intertwined spheres of Behavioural change, Technology and Finance.
The voice and power of Emerging market economies and Developing countries – the BRICS members and beyond – is only going stronger. <...> The joint potential of BRICS is outstanding so let’s use it effectively and wisely to build a sustainable, just and inclusive world.

❗️ The neo-Nazi regime in Kiev, supported by the United States and its satellites, has committed yet another brutal terrorist act against the civilian population of Russia.
On the morning of January 21, armed units of Bandera’s followers [Stephan Bandera - a Hitlerite crony & WWII war criminal, the idol of the Ukranian neo-Nazis & nationalists aka the banderovites] deliberately targeted a market and shops in Tekstilshchik, a neighbourhood in the Kirovsky District of Donetsk. A total of six artillery rounds were fired at the busiest areas in town causing a large number of casualties. According to reports, at least 27 people were killed and 25 were injured.
Read in full
It was established that the shelling was coming from Avdeyevka, which is still controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and that the types of weapons supplied by the West were used. This is further confirmation of the Western countries’ direct involvement in the conflict, implicating them in the criminal acts committed by the Zelensky regime.
Russia strongly condemns this treacherous attack on civilians. The West’s unrestrained desire to inflict a “strategic defeat” on Russia using their Ukrainian puppets to do the fighting, thoughtlessly supporting them without any limits, is pushing the Kiev regime to increasingly reckless steps, including terrorist attacks, massive violations of international humanitarian law and war crimes.
☝️ Russia calls on all responsible governments and relevant international agencies to strongly condemn this brutal act of terrorism. Their silence would mean tacit approval of the murder of civilians and encourage Ukrainian neo-Nazis to commit even more terrible atrocities.
The terrorist attacks by the Kiev regime clearly demonstrate that it has no political will for peace and the settlement of the conflict by diplomatic means. No threats to security or acts of terrorism must be coming from the territory of Ukraine.

#Opinon by Maria Zakharova
💬 The Satanists are going wild before Epiphany as per tradition and have banned the Besogon channel.
YouTube, the American video hosting platform, has blocked Nikita Mikhalkov’s Besogon (Expeller) programme.
The White House, the Department of State, not to mention this private corporation that is fully controlled by US secret services, do not care one bit about protecting the right to free access to information, pluralism of opinion or freedom of speech. They won’t think twice about violating even the key provisions of their own domestic law. Meanwhile, the First Amendment to the US Constitution prevents the federal government from making laws that abridge the freedom of speech. Nor does it permit punishing people for what they say.
America’s “advanced democracy” is even less concerned by some international commitments on freedom of speech. They don’t care that in accordance with the OSCE Ministerial Council Decision No. 3/18 on the safety of journalists, adopted in Milan on December 7, 2018, the State parties were urged to “fully implement all OSCE commitments and their international obligations related to freedom of expression and media freedom, including by respecting, promoting and protecting the freedom to seek, receive and impart information regardless of frontiers.” This appeal and other calls, statements and declarations are merely white noise for Washington when it comes to American companies and individuals.
The recent decision of YouTube’s owner, the US corporation Google, is a classic example of the political censorship and pathological intolerance of the neo-liberal West to views that differ from its own.
As a reminder, Nikita Mikhalkov’s programmes are freely available on other platforms (https://rutube.ru/u/besogontv/) that do not suffer from megalomania and do not have neocolonialist habits.

🗓 On January 20, Crimea celebrates Republic Day. The holiday commemorates the referendum of 1991, when the absolute majority of Crimean residents voted to re-establish the Crimean Autonomous Republic.
Interesting facts:
1️⃣ Crimea has had a close connection with Russia for centuries. As far as in 988–989, Grand Prince Vladimir Svyatoslavich converted to Christianity in the then Tauric Chersonese. Centuries later, on April 19, 1783, Empress Catherine the Great signed a manifesto on the accession of Crimea to the Russian Empire.
2️⃣ The Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (CASSR) was originally established as part of the RSFSR in 1921. In 1945 it became the Crimean Region. In 1954, Crimea was transferred to the Ukrainian SSR; First Secretary of the CPSU’s Crimean Regional Committee, Pavel Titov, opposed the move and was relieved of his post.
3️⃣ The sovereignty referendum, which was held on January 20, 1991 to decide on re-establishing the CASSR, was the first plebiscite in the Soviet Union’s history. Voters were asked whether they supported re-establishing the CASSR as an entity of the USSR and a participant in the Union Treaty. A total of 93% of residents voted for autonomy. In the same year, a law was passed to re-establish the CASSR.
4️⃣ The 1991 Crimean referendum was the first attempt to determine the future of Crimea based on the will of its residents. To a large extent, this plebiscite served as the starting point for the peninsula’s reunification with Russia in 2014.
5️⃣ Republic Day was established in 2009. In 2014, after Crimea’s reunification with Russia, the holiday was included in the regional law on holidays.
6️⃣ On March 18, 2014, President of Russia Vladimir Putin and the top officials from Crimea and Sevastopol signed the Treaty on the Accession of the Republic of Crimea to Russia. This was the result of the referendum held on March 16, 2014, where 96% of voters chose the peninsula’s reunification with Russia.
Ever since #CrimeaIsRussia once again and forever henceforth.
