🇺🇦 Ukrainian neo-Nazis.
This is what the West doesn't want you to see.
This is a video back from 2015, one year after the Western sponsored coup in Ukraine brought outright neo-Nazis to power.
The residents of Avdeevka are protesting against Ukrainian Nazis who are opening up military bases next to their shopping centers and then shelling Donetsk civilians with artillery.
"We are sick of the Ukrainian fascists who surrounded our Avdeevka! They are killing us!
They are trying to open up a military base right next to the shopping centre!
90% of us want to be a part of the Donetsk People's Republic!"
Where do you think these people are now?
What do you think the Ukrainian regime and their pocket neo-Nazis have done to them for 10 years before the Russians finally started the special military operation and freed the city?

⚡️ Briefing by Chief of Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Protection Troops of the Armed Forces of Russia Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov on violations of Chemical Weapons Convention by US and Ukraine (February 19, 2024)
☣️ According to OPCW timelines, the US should have completed the destruction of declared chemical weapons stockpiles in 2007, but despite its economic capacity, it did so only in 2023, twice postponing the deadline on the pretext of financial, organisational, and technical difficulties.
▪️ Washington retains significant interest in the use of chemical riot control as a warfighting tool. <...> The transfer of non-lethal chemical weapons to third countries (Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine) is further evidence of the US' violation of the Convention.
❗️During the special military operation, cases of the use of US chemical munitions by the AFU were recorded. <...> Ukraine, with the complicity of Western countries, is not limiting itself to the use of non-lethal chemicals, actively using scheduled chemicals.
▪️ According to available information, the Kiev regime, with the assistance of Western curators, is developing new tactics for conducting combat operations using a 'special chemical belt'. It involves detonating tanks of hydrocyanic acid and ammonia as Russian troops advance.
👉Plans for the large-scale use of toxic substances are evidenced by Ukraine's requests for antidotes, gas masks, and other personal protective equipment.
***
▪️ Despite the fact that the Organisation's activities presuppose equal rights of participants, in November 2023, for the first time since the signing of the Convention, Russia was essentially 'expelled' from the OPCW Executive Council. We were replaced by Ukraine, Poland and Lithuania, countries that have a clear anti-Russian policy and have never had chemical weapons.
☝️Thus, another international platform was formed, the activity of which is fully controlled by the US and used by them for settling political accounts with undesirable countries

⚡️Ten years ago, the streets of Kiev witnessed a real massacre with the use of firearms which led to further escalation of "#Euromaidan" riots and the bloody anti-constitutional coup.
📚Read the following excerpts from the monography "History of Ukraine" describing how the coup happened.
✍️"On 21 February the Presidential Administration signed the Agreement on Resolving the Crisis in #Ukraine. <...>
After signing of the agreement, the security forces left the Kiev downtown. However, on the evening of February 22, in violation of its clauses, the Euromaidan militants — the Right Sector and the Maidan self-defense occupied government buildings. <...>
The next day, the Verkhovna Rada adopted an illegal decision to remove the Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. On 22 February 2014 there was no impeachment procedure at all, and the number of deputies who voted for it — 328, according to the Constitution of Ukraine, was not enough to make a decision, which requires 338 people.
On 23 February Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Alexander Turchinov signed a resolution on assuming the duties of the President.
An anti-constitutional coup in Ukraine was carried out."

🎦The RT documentary "Operation Ukraine: Crime without Punishment" contains the facts of mass crimes committed by the Kiev regime after the bloody coup of 2014.
❌Western organisations and media keep ignoring violent acts of Ukrainian Neo-Nazis who have never considered the people of Donbass as human beings.
💬‘I say from the military point of view: there was no point in torturing. It was just a pleasure, an amusement. A sadistic pleasure in the torture of a man.’ says Vladimir Novikov, commander of the ‘Troy’ special forces unit, who saw the most horrific torture in the videos from the phones of the captured Ukrainian nationalists in 2014-2015.

🎙Foreign Minister Sergey #Lavrov’s remarks and answers to questions at a conference on the 10th anniversary of the coup in Ukraine "Euromaidan: #Ukraine's Lost Decade" (Moscow, 16 February 2024)
💬Speaking about geopolitical aspects and consequences of the coup in Kiev, I would like first to say that these events were yet another result of the divide-and-rule policy that is aimed at setting countries at loggerheads and provoking interstate conflicts.
The collective West led by the US, or to be more precise the Anglo-Saxons, has long pursued this policy. Britain is playing a more aggressive and devious role in the current events with its provocative assertiveness than that of any other participant, including the US.

#G20
It became clear that relying on just one centre of economic power is not a viable approach and most recently the G20 has engaged in a dialogue to reform and to restore the functionality of global economic institutions.
The positive dynamics of this forum are largely attributable to the fact that emerging markets are acting independently and insisting on fair consideration of their interests.
☝️ It is important for the G20 countries to commit to not weaponise the economy and to not engage in unfair competition.
#BRICS
🌐 Strengthening the potential and role of BRICS in international affairs is our priority.
BRICS members represent different economic and political systems, religions, and macro-regions and are able to work together as equal partners. Its international standing is steadily growing.
#Ukraine
❗️The root causes of the Ukraine crisis need to be eliminated if we want to achieve a sustainable and fair settlement. The West must stop supplying weapons to Ukraine, and Kiev must stop hostilities.
Ukraine should reinstate its neutral, non-aligned, and non-nuclear status and ensure the rights and freedoms of its citizens. It is critical that the basis be the new territorial realities and the situation on the ground.
#RussiaUS
👉 The ruling elite of the US views Russia as an adversary and a threat regardless of its party affiliation. The former president did nothing to improve Russia-US relations during his four-year stint in the White House.
We have no illusions and do not expect the anti-Russian course of the US to change in the foreseeable future. We are prepared to work with any leader who wins the American people’s trust. What matters to us is not specific political figures, but their policies towards Russia. President Putin made that clear recently in his televised interview.

10 years ago legally elected president of Ukraine V.Yanukovych was removed from the office in violation of the Constitution by Nazi groups of the so-called "Maidan" with the silent approval from the EU and the US. That paved the way for Ukraine to slide down under the leadership of V.Zelensky. The outcomes are disastrous.
🎙Excerpts from Foreign Minister Sergey #Lavrov's remarks at the “For the Freedom of Nations” Forum of Supporters of the Struggle Against Modern Practices of #Neocolonialism (Moscow, 16 February 2024)
Examples of the #West’s attitude towards the #GlobalMajority:
🔹In 2010, developing countries were promised $100 billion annually for 10 years as climate finance. However, the West was in no hurry to fulfil its obligations, allocating just crumbs from the promised funds. In 2015, the pledge of “$100 billion per year for 10 years” was reiterated in Paris. But nothing changed.
🔹By outsourcing “dirty” production facilities to other countries, Western supporters of climate justice are imposing additional costs on Southern nations and pressuring them buy costly green technologies from the West. You can clearly see how the money that was pledged for development is being spent on supplying weapons to the Kiev regime and other military ventures.
🔹The distribution of vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic also sheds light on this issue. From the outset, the West secured the majority of scarce vaccines, leaving the impoverished & vulnerable to fend for themselves. At the same time, international bodies controlled by the West deliberately delayed the certification of the Russian Sputnik vaccine, which could have saved millions of lives in developing countries.
🔹Another aspect of neocolonialism involves imposing neoliberal ideologies at the expense of traditional spiritual and moral values. Concepts like gender diversity, drug legalisation and transhumanism are part of this harmful policy.
🔹Impunity with which the West conducts biological experiments on humans provokes outrage. According to recent information from the Russian Ministry of Defence, corroborated by journalists’ investigations, major European and US corporations conducted experiments on children and adults for minimal compensation in Mariupol, a city formerly controlled by the Kiev regime. These experiments involved drugs that severely suppressed the immune system and encouraged cancer cell growth, with the aim of spreading diseases and epidemics among Slavic populations. The research materials they collected were sent to European laboratories, and their subsequent fate remains unknown. The West will never reveal the evidence exposing its illicit biological experiments to the global community.

✍️Eduard #Popov's article "Ukrainian #Nazism today: origin and ideological and political typology" is an academic view on the historical background and types of Ukrainian Nazism as well as the reasons of its rise in modern #Ukraine.
"At the end of the war [WWII] and immediately after its conclusion, many fighters & activists of the OUN-B & OUN-M shielded themselves from retribution in the United States and Canada. This would have been impossible without the support & direct sanction of the state authorities in the USA and Great Britain. After the collapse of the USSR, the US ruling circles "exported" Nazi proponents & social engineering technologies back to Ukraine and ensured that they entered the scientific and educational area. At the same time, the party structures of Bandera's & Melnikov's proponents were reestablished.
Thus, modern Ukrainian Nazism has ideological & organizational continuity from Hitler's collaborators of World War II, the executioners of #Volyn & #Khatyn".

🗓On this day, ten years ago, the European Union acted as a guarantor in the agreement signed by the Ukrainian authorities and the opposition. The document was supposed to stop the political crisis in the country and what was happening in the streets of Kiev: mass riots, shootings, and deaths.
But the very next day, despite guarantees from the West, there was a coup d'état in the country. European politicians saw the conflict between Kiev and Donbass escalating. They assured them they were against war and offered their help in the Minsk agreements.
The West no longer hides the fact that it was only a plan to buy time to pump Ukraine with weapons. Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel speaks openly about this in an interview with a German newspaper: ‘The Minsk Agreement in 2014 was an attempt to give Ukraine time. It also used this time to become stronger, as you can see today.’

✍️Excerpts from Kirill Shevchenko's article "From Galician Rus' to Western Ukraine":
"As noted by American researcher John Armstrong, the Ukrainian nationalism is distinguished from other varieties of "integral nationalisms" by a greater degree of totalitarianism, irrational mysticism, a hypertrophic cult of violence, war and terror, as well as a tendency to the imaginary and the far-fetched.
In 1904, prominent representative of the Galician-Russian movement Osip Monchalovsky fiercely described the Ukrainian nationalism as "a betrayal of the Russian language and culture that have been developed over centuries, a self-transformation into intertribal misfits, in the rag for Polish and German boots...; a denial of the indigenous origins of their nation." Notably, a prominent Czech politician and public figure, Karl Kramarz, similarly characterized the Ukrainian movement, emphasizing that in Austria-Hungary Ukrainian politicians from Galicia acted as a willing tool of Vienna and Berlin. <...>
Whereas the activists of the Ukrainian movement sought to prove the separate existence of the Great Russians and Ukrainians as early as the Kievan Rus' era, trying to separate them in Old Russian history and literature, the Galician-Russian thinkers proceeded from the idea of the original unity of all Russian lands."
