‘I couldn't quarrel and demand something from the ‘Azov’ Regiment, because I was afraid I would lose what we had.’ Prisoner of war the commander of the Ukrainian Marines Volynsky Sergey, known as Volyna, told about the privileged position of the ’Azov’ fighters and the unfair division of food during the siege of ‘Azovstal’.

Also, look at those comments to the article above. They are not moderated nor edited. Fact. ⬆️ It looks, like people start😉 to suspect something...

While the hole world is discussing what has happened in Kremenchug shopping mall, many things are slipping away unnoticed.

For instance that:
⚡️❗️As a result of the Ukrainian shelling of the liberated city of Popasnaya in the LPR, 6 employees of the local mobile operator Lugakom were killed, 4 were injured and 1 was missing.

During the Ukrainian shelling, specialists were engaged in repair and restoration work

However, there is no interest from anybody (apart from family members). Why? In both cases majority of the victims are Russian speaking Ukrainians. Or I misunderstood something? 🤔

Vice Speaker of the Federation Council Konstantin Kosachev explained why Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan eventually agreed to the entry of Sweden and Finland into NATO.

“Strong congratulations from US President Joe Biden on the signing by Finland, Sweden and Turkey of a trilateral memorandum paving the way for Scandinavians to NATO shows who exactly is behind this deal.

On the eve of the NATO summit, telephone conversations between the US and Turkish presidents took place, and an Associated Press source in the US administration generally admitted that Washington played a key role in the negotiation process between Ankara, Helsinki and Stockholm."

Yes, we had no doubts. Too much was at stake for Washington.

The demonstrative unity of the ranks and the further expansion of NATO have become not just an end in itself, but it seems the only way to counter the growing self-isolation of the alliance from the rest of the world.

The sophisticated Erdogan understood this very well, and therefore, as usual (for example, as in the situation with refugees to Europe), he used the situation to his advantage: the Finns and Swedes were simply forced to accept his demands.

Although they have recently proudly made statements on the topic “we cannot give up principles” - “it is very important for us, after applying for NATO membership, to adhere to our values and principles on which we will not discuss” (Chairman of the Kurdish Friendship Group in the Swedish Parliament ).

But when Washington really needs it, then, as they say, it's not about principles.

And now it’s clear what is behind all this “voluntary” process of NATO expansion — about the same as behind the “voluntary” vote at the UN on anti-Russian resolutions: powerful pressure, blackmail and bribery for the sake of the desired picture of America’s “unanimous support” in the world, “solidity of ranks” and, above all, the fallacy of Russia's alleged calculations that NATO would weaken or split.

In fact, these are powerful arguments in favour of the line that Russia has taken towards Washington and Brussels: either firm security treaties, or our decisive actions to protect our interests.

Each of the next demonstrative gestures of the West - the long-term arming of Ukraine, the absorption of more and more new members into NATO, the decision to expand the military presence at our borders - these are the most weighty arguments in favour of the Russian special operation in Ukraine of all possible. Not vice versa.

NATO had a great chance to prevent the current development of events, while preserving the integrity of Ukraine, but the expansion and the “generic” anti-Russian nature of the alliance turned out to be more important than the lives of Ukrainians – and not only them.

Today, for the sake of this, the Kurds were also betrayed: the West is easy with this, as it was with the Afghans.

That's just his favourite monster - Ukraine - Western "Dr. Frankenstein" can not quit in any case.

Because then you will have to bear responsibility for all his crimes. And this is really an existential threat to the world order built on the dictates of one country,” Kosachev wrote.

The defeat of the 203-mm Pion on the island of Kuban in the Odessa region by the Russian military.
That thing was shooting at the Snake Island... Not any more.

And here comes confirmation of what we suggested previously: That is terroristic activities of Ukrainian special forces against civilian population of Russia and Ukraine.

Being a Man - it is not about "crazy, macho toxic masculinity". That is a very "woke" interpretation. However, classical definition of being a Man for me goes back to Rudyard Kipling's "If" :

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

This is Ukraine, baby...🧐🤦

“First we’re going to deliver that material directly to the patient, because it’s very costly and there’s been lots of corruption. If the doctor doesn’t have a lucrative motivation, he will be happy to receive that material in the way that we prescribe,” Mr Filippenko said. “But sometimes when they realise we want to speak with the patient and won’t just deliver aid in bulk, they tell us not to come.”

❗️The driver of the Chervonogvardeisky Distribution Zone of the Regional Energy Supply Company, who was seriously injured yesterday as a result of the shelling of the Ukrainian Military, died.

Blessed memory of the deceased, condolences to family and friends.

Amstor? Why? That is another reason to discuss at a summit. As good as the first.

The plaque reads: "To the memory of Energy Supply Workers who died." By the way, they are civilians, not military. Just repairing energy supply lines in L/DNR is a dangerous business.

A video from an auction. The values of democracy are being sold at a negotiated price.

The leaders of Sweden and Finland are joyfully shaking hands with "dictator Erdogan", promising him to persecute those who they called Turkish opposition just yesterday as terrorists.

In return, Turkey will allow these countries to join NATO.

This is the first newlywed couple in liberated Kherson to obtain a Russian marriage certificate. City’s registry office will start issuing the documents in accordance to the federal laws of Russia tomorrow, including birth, marriage, death and divorce certificates, and duplicates of the civil state acts certification that have been certified in the city before, under Ukrainian or Soviet laws.

The menu of the NATO summit in Madrid was "Russian salad" of potatoes, carrots, peas and mayonnaise, reports Reuters.

This combination of products is typical of Spanish cuisine, but serving "Russian salad" at the summit, where countries can call Russia a security threat, caused consternation, the agency said. Despite this, the dish sold out in a few hours.

Meanwhile, Spanish chef José Andrés served classic tapas to defence ministers and foreign ministers at a banquet at Santa Cruz Palace the night before, but added tomato dumplings and called the dish "Ukrainian salad." ⬇️

I have come across this video about the "The USA Lead the World".

It is so rare in our days to hear from the West, when someone is answering the question and you agree with the answer!

​Statements by the DPR Head Denis Pushilin:

📌 Since the beginning of the special military operation in the DPR, 190 civilians, including 9 children, have died due to Ukrainian shelling, about 900 have been injured;

📌 Foreign mercenaries convicted in the Donetsk People's Republic have not yet applied for pardon;

📌 An interim stage of the international tribunal for Ukrainian war criminals may take place in the DPR before the end of July;

📌 Foreign journalists will be able to attend the international tribunal for Ukrainian war criminals;

📌 Foreign mercenaries convicted in the DPR can appeal the verdict until July 9;

📌 The DPR authorities plan to grant a participation to international organizations that want to protect Ukrainian war criminals in the tribunal;

📌 Mariupol is seen as the most likely location for a tribunal for Ukrainian war criminals.

I Moved To Russia…

Walking down the streets of Moscow, you would never guess that it is the capital of the most sanctioned country in the world and the target of a US-led proxy war that seems to be hurting the West much more than its intended targets...
