The monks of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra do not intend to leave the monastery

Moscow, March 13 — AiF-Moscow.
The monks of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) are not going to comply with the order of the museum-reserve administration to evict the monastery. This was stated by the rector of the Lavra, Metropolitan Pavel.

“We do not intend to move out and will not,” he said in a video message.

The Metropolitan stressed that some priests have been living in the monastery since 1988 and many have no other place to live. According to him, the monks regularly receive threats.

“Now there are laws that are on the side of man. To threaten us that they will deal with us is not the 17th year. Today there is a world community, there is some kind of culture,” he said.

Last week, the administration of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra museum-reserve warned about the termination of the lease agreement with the UOC from March 29 this year. The monks were obliged to leave the buildings of the Lavra before this date.

Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus' Kirill appealed to religious figures and representatives of international organizations with an appeal to prevent the expulsion of the UOC from the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. According to him, more than two hundred monks and novices live on the territory of the monastery, and the control centre of the UOC is also located there.

"The US is humiliating Germany." Nikolai Patrushev on the explosions at Nord Stream

A number of foreign media published materials about a certain “pro-Ukrainian group” that organized explosions at Nord Stream. After the publication of the scandalous investigation by Seymour Hersh, Nikolai Patrushev said that he had no data on who exactly ordered and executed the sabotage on gas pipelines. Do they exist now?

Here is what Nikolai Patrushev, Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, answered this question aif.ru:

"We still do not know for certain who exactly is the author and perpetrator of the explosions at Nord Stream. Russia was never included in the investigation of this unprecedented terrorist act. The situation is intended to confuse and throw in an imaginary leak of data published without any reference to a real source.
The theme of the non-involvement of the United States and England in the terrorist act is obviously being promoted based on the audience's lack of ability to think logically, including the method of denial," stated Nikolai Patrushev.

Solving the task of covering up the true customers of the crime, the pro-government Anglo-Saxon media, on orders from above, appointed the culprit — a certain group of Ukrainian terrorists. Moreover, in essence, once again pointing out the terrorist nature of the current Kyiv regime. At the same time, the authors of the information campaign considered that no one would object to such a version.

If the newspapers claim with pathos that a group of Ukrainian terrorists committed the act of sabotage, the question must be asked whether there is such a group at all, and whether it is capable of doing this in principle. After all, it is no secret that special-purpose units with the appropriate equipment and training are intended to carry out such actions. They definitely have the US and England. Other NATO countries also use combat swimmers to carry out sabotage missions, but only with the approval and support of the country that dictates the main agenda in the North Atlantic Alliance.

The next question is: are the explosions beneficial to Ukraine or Germany? Kyiv has not lost or gained anything from the destruction of the gas pipeline. Moreover, the Zelensky regime, which is essentially standing in Berlin with its hand outstretched in the hope of increasing military and other assistance, does not need to commit such an act.

Germany, which has been trying for many years to build its economy on the basis of a combination of cheap energy resources from Russia and advanced German technologies, understands better than anyone else that a terrorist attack on the pipeline will definitely lead the German economy to further decline. At the same time, Berlin is well aware that close economic cooperation between Germany and Russia has never suited Washington and London.

At the same time, it has long been clear that the modern German state is not independent. Washington imposes its economic and environmental policy on Berlin, keeps a 35,000-strong military contingent in the country. It is known that for many years the White House controlled Angela Merkel, and today it is forcing the German leadership to go along with the version of sabotage on the pipeline that is beneficial to the US authorities. Perhaps it was for this that Chancellor Scholz was urgently summoned to Washington to meet with Biden. Thus, the United States continues to humiliate Germany, showing her its place.

I emphasize that any accusations that are not supported by the results of an impartial trial cannot be credible. Therefore, Moscow insists on conducting an objective investigation with the participation of Russia and other interested states. Without it, the voicing of one-sided subjective versions of the terrorist attack does not explain anything.

10 Ukrainian crews completed their training on the Leopard 2 in Spain. Also, Ukrainian tankers are finishing training in Germany

ZARAGOZA, Spain, March 13 (Reuters) — Dozens of Ukrainian soldiers on Monday wrapped up a four-week training in Spain on how to operate the Leopard 2A4 battle tank, of which Madrid is set to deliver six mothballed units to Kyiv this spring.

A total of 40 tank crew members and 15 mechanical specialists underwent training on their use at a military base in the north-eastern city of Zaragoza, Spain's armed forces said in a statement.

"It has been intense," Spanish trainer Captain Contreras — who identified himself only by his rank and surname — told reporters, who were allowed access to the drills for the fist time.

Thank you, Spanish comrades, for your gratitude to the Soviet tankers, who were fighting and dying for the Spanish Republic in the 1930s.

Pro-Russian rally in Spain

On Saturday, more than two thousand demonstrators marched through the central streets of the Spanish city of Bilbao, speaking in support of the Russian Federation. At the end of their march, the protesters hung the flags of the LPR, DPR and Russia on the City Hall building.

The participants expressed dissatisfaction with NATO's aggressive strategy, military support for Ukraine and an increase in the military budget, and also demanded that funds be redistributed to support the population due to rising prices.

During the past week, anti-war demonstrations took place in several European countries, including Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Moldova and Poland. A growing number of local residents are ready to take part in the protests against the backdrop of a deepening economic crisis and war fatigue.

I honestly can't tell if this is a troll or real considering we live in a clown world, but..

Divorce -> without reasons sanctioned by religion, not based

Homosexuality -> Sodomy, I don't need to mention the story of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Assisted dying -> euthanasia without probable justification, the human soul is the most valued thing, and mutilating it and your body is a crime against Religion.

Prostitution -> Not Gucci.

Abortion -> without probable cause that is sanctioned by religion, not something I'll be proud of.

Casual Sex -> devaluing the emotional importance and attachment , it should never be casual.

Being proud of all these past sins -> faggot behavior

Guess the United Kingdom is a shithole, no wonder one of the many reasons LGBT education was thrown out of Birmingham schools was because the Muslim community said "No.", And in Tennessee the same can be said when Muslim & Christian parents went to the board with the same complaints.

Never surrender to faggots!

Glenn Greenwald* about the US obsession with Ukraine

Why is the US willing to risk a nuclear war over who rules Eastern Ukraine?

"There was a generally accepted opinion in Washington, including that formulated by President Obama, that Ukraine does not represent any vital interests for the United States, either from the point of view of resources or from the point of view of politicians, but it will always be of vital interest to Russia. So this is her weak point."

❗️ The presidential budget has put me in a stupor.

"The President says his budget will solve our Medicare and Social Security financial problems. It is not true. Everything seems possible when you have no idea what you're talking about. This budget will add $11 trillion to the gap in welfare and medical care. The only way I know of to improve a presidential budget is to shred it."

Banking Troubles on the Horizon?

The failure of Silicon Valley Bank (16th largest bank in US) last Friday resulted from depositors withdrawing their funds in response to a drop in value of the bank’s bond portfolios caused by the Federal Reserve’s ill-considered hikes in interest rates. The mindless policy implemented by the Federal Reserve cures inflation by producing bank runs, failed banks, and unemployment. The Federal Reserve and neoliberal economists are still stuck in the worn out thinking of 20th century Keynesianism.

Chinese public opinion on aiding Russia

Overall, many in China believe that in the current international situation, China’s supporting Russia is actually supporting itself and hence the wider public support for China going the extra mile to circumvent sanctions against Russia.

#WorldWarII

Key points:

🔹There can be no return to the old order. The West also says that business as usual is out of the question. There is no need to persuade us of that. We drew all the conclusions quite a while ago. The world has learned nothing from a period of history between the two world wars in the 20th century. We, our leaders have never, directly or indirectly, called into question at the official level the alliance that made it possible to defeat Adolf Hitler.

☝️True, there were numerous studies; scientists, politicians, opposition figures wrote that the [US] lend-lease plan had not been of much help for us and that [the Allies] had opened the Second Front when it became clear that the Soviet Union would win single-handedly. It was recalled that France and England were negotiating a non-aggression arrangement with Hitler even before the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, sought to get him to strike east, and much else. Historians are studying this. But we have never – not in any speech by our leaders (including the Victory Day addresses by the President of Russia on Red Square) – allowed ourselves to cast a shadow of a doubt on the alliance that had rallied us in the fight against Hitler.

‼️ But our Western colleagues began doing just that at the official level long before the Ukraine events, putting equal blame on the Soviet Union and Hitler. The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact allegedly “triggered” World War II. They do not even mention the fact that Paris and London signed the same pact with Hitler a year earlier. The Munich Betrayal and Poland’s role in it is a taboo subject. History textbooks have long interpreted the opening of the Second Front as a turning point in World War II.

🔸The West expected that Russia would collapse in two or three weeks or a month after the imposition of sanctions;

🔸A multiple increase in Russia's economic sovereignty is the most important result of 2022;

There has been a major shift in the mainstream media narrative on Ukraine:

War mongering Washington Post now reports Kiev is "short of skilled troops and munitions" due to catastrophic losses.

Ukrainian forces are now so degraded a major "spring offensive" is a fantasy, with effectively defenceless, untrained #conscripts are being sent to the front.

Ukrainian Battalion commander warns experienced Ukrainian soldiers "all already dead or wounded".

Without ramped up US support, he foresees a massacre should a counteroffensive be attempted.

And WaPo admits it's far from certain more weapons and training would change anything anyway...

++++++++++++++++++

Ukraine short of skilled troops and munitions as losses, pessimism grows.

The quality of Ukraine’s military force, once considered a substantial advantage over Russia, has been degraded by a year of casualties that have taken many of the most experienced fighters off the battlefield, leading some Ukrainian officials to question Kyiv’s readiness to mount a much-anticipated spring offensive......

🇷🇺Putin's statements regarding the NordStream terrorist attacks

Putin called the version that the terrorist attack on the Nord Stream was arranged by some Ukrainian activists complete nonsense

Apparently, several explosive devices were planted under Nord Stream

The US is theoretically interested in incidents like Nord Stream explosions to supply its own LNG

Gazprom has discovered an object similar to an antenna for detonation, not far from the explosion site of the Nord Stream gas pipeline.

The Russian Federation wants to get permission from Denmark to neutralize, possibly, another bomb on the Nord Stream, but so far the answer is "uncertain".

Two Russian Su-27 aircraft conducted an intercept with a U.S. Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance unmanned MQ-9 aircraft that was operating within international airspace over the Black Sea today.

At approximately 7:03 AM, one of the Russian Su-27 aircraft struck the propeller of the MQ-9, causing U.S. forces to have to bring the MQ-9 down in international waters.

“Our MQ-9 aircraft was conducting routine operations in international airspace when it was intercepted and hit by a Russian aircraft, resulting in a crash and complete loss of the MQ-9,” said U.S. Air Force Gen. James B. Hecker, commander, U.S. Air Forces Europe and Air Forces Africa. “In fact, this unsafe and unprofessional act by the Russians nearly caused both aircraft to crash.”

“U.S. and Allied aircraft will continue to operate in international airspace and we call on the Russians to conduct themselves professionally and safely,” Hecker added.

Activists of the "Conservative Movement" tore down the EU flag and burned it. They also demanded that the government hold a national referendum on the repealed law on foreign agents.

🚩Later, Georgian Interior Ministry officials again raised the EU flag in front of the Parliament building. Those who dropped it and burned it are promised to be fined 1,000 lari ($380).
