Arestovich suddenly announced that part of the territories of Ukraine would pass to Russia:

"Ethnically monolithic Ukraine will go the same way as Poland. It collapsed. Poland has decreased by 59%, in my opinion. We will not hold our territories. And all our territories will go to the Russian Federation — there are no options here. And it will increase at our expense".

Why as soon as politicians leave office, their thinking becomes more clear. Arestovich has said some truth!!! 🤯

- vegetables and fruits
- products from vegetables and fruits
- wine
- beef
- milk and dairy products

In fact, this is the economic strangulation of Ukraine. Such is Polish friendship!

Ukrainian Nazism, or Why a New Nuremberg is Necessary

This is a long-read from Viktor Medvedchuk, an Ukrainian politician who has been prosecuted by the Kiev regime for his political believes and eventually exchanged for Ukrainian POW and brought to Moscow. He is describing in details the history of Ukrainian Nazism and predicts its inevitable future.
...
The ideas and methods of Nazism, which has recently spread to the territory of Ukraine, are inherited from the OUN-UPA.

In April 1941, at the II Big Gathering of Ukrainian nationalists, held in Krakow (at that time it was part of Nazi Germany), the "Bandera" branch proclaimed itself "the only true" OUN. Stepan Bandera was declared the new leader of the OUN. The official greeting in the OUN was “raising the straightened right arm to the right obliquely above the head with the words “Glory to Ukraine” - “Glory to the Heroes”, The greeting was copied from the ideologists of Nazi Germany. The colours of the OUN flag were red and black.
...
After the defeat of the Nazis in World War II, many OUN-UPA figures ended up in Western countries, mainly in Canada and the United States, including the ideological inspirers of modern Kyiv Bandera.
...
In May 2006, on the initiative of Yushchenko, the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory was created as a central executive body with a special status. With the creation of this institution, the nazification of Ukraine began to be carried out at the state level.
...
Thus, in the period from 2005 to 2014, a revival of Nazi ideology began in Ukraine. From Ukraine, at first quite "softly", they began to create "Anti-Russia" under nationalist and liberal-democratic slogans.

In 2014, Western politicians and intelligence services, with the help of the Ukrainian comprador elite, carried out an unconstitutional state pro-Nazi coup in Ukraine, hiding behind liberal slogans about the European choice of Ukrainians. Legitimately elected, recognized by the entire world community, President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych was removed from power by a group of putschists using Nazi groups with the support of Western diplomats and intelligence agencies.
...
In 2014, the ideology of Ukrainian nationalism finally transformed into a Nazi one and became a state one. The people who seized power also “did not make any serious attempts to hide the fact” that they seized power to fight Russia and Russians, immediately designating Russians living in Ukraine, pro-Russian, left-wing political forces as their enemies. Russians and Russian-speakers living in Ukraine received derogatory "labels".

"It's easier to submit commands in the Yakut language, no one understands us, but we understand everything"

There is a very strong side in the diversity of peoples and languages of Russia. Thus, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and representatives of Western intelligence agencies faced difficulties in decrypting radio traffic in the special operation zone, since national units take part in it. We are talking about representatives of battalions formed in Buryatia, Tuva, Dagestan, Yakutia. You can also add the Chechen forces of the Rosguards to this.
What these units have in common is that the fighters talk to each other in national languages.

Sanctions may risk hegemony of US dollar: Yellen

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says US sanctions create a desire on the part of China, Russia, and Iran to find an alternative.

The United States economic sanctions imposed on Russia and other nations have put the dollar's hegemony at risk as targeted countries seek out an alternative, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Sunday.

"There is a risk when we use financial sanctions that are linked to the role of the dollar that over time it could undermine the hegemony of the dollar," Yellen said on CNN.

During an interview with CNN host Fareed Zakaria, she said that these sanctions definitely "create a desire on the part of China, of Russia, of Iran to find an alternative," adding, however, that "the dollar is used as a global currency for reasons that are not easy for other countries to find an alternative with the same properties."

The robust US capital markets and rule of law "are essential in a currency that is going to be used globally for transactions," she added. "And we haven't seen any other country that has the basic... institutional infrastructure that would enable its currency to serve the world like this."

Sanctions are an "extremely important tool," Yellen noted, all the more so when used by the US and its allies as "a coalition of partners acting together to impose these sanctions."

Asked about whether frozen Russian assets can be used to reconstruct war-torn Ukraine, Yellen said that "Russia should pay for the damages that it's caused," but noted that there are "legal constraints on what we can do with frozen Russian assets, and we're discussing with our partners what might lie in the future."

European Commission (EC) lawyers concluded on Thursday that the assets of the Bank of Russia, which had been frozen by the EU, will be returned to Moscow once the war in Ukraine ends, according to the German newspaper Die Welt newspaper.

The newspaper cited an unpublished EC document, which stated that the assets of the Bank of Russia "cannot be touched since once upon a time when the war ends, they will have to be returned to Russia." EC experts have reached that "sobering conclusion" despite having claimed that "there is a political will but legal barriers are high."

Alternatively, the EC has mulled over the idea of investing the currently frozen assets of the Bank of Russia in such a way as to use the interest gained as support for Kiev.

However, it remained that the EC's legal service has yet to find a solution to what would happen in the event that the EU loses the invested funds under any circumstances.

Kringe of the day — the first Leopard was destroyed in Ukraine!!!

Moreover, it has self-destructed — during the training of Ukrainian tankers, the machine dangerously descended from the hill, stuck its barrel into the ground and tore off the turret...

Update: according to Rybar it has happened in Poland during the training of the Ukrainian crew. The Leopard 2A4 transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukraine ran into another tank during training in Poland and tore off its turret.

One way or another, but it is one Leopard less...

Seymour Hersh: Zelensky misappropriated $400 million US earmarked for fuel purchases

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has embezzled hundreds of millions of dollars the US has allocated to buying fuel, according to Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh.

On his blog , Hersh writes that Ukraine's government has been using US taxpayer funds to pay dearly for the diesel needed to keep the Ukrainian army moving in the war with Russia.

It is not known how much the Zelensky government is paying per gallon of fuel, but the Pentagon was paying as much as $400 per gallon to transport gasoline from a port in Pakistan, via truck or parachute, to Afghanistan during the decades of American war.

Zelensky was asked directly about the corruption at a January meeting in Kiev with CIA Director William Burns. His message to the Ukrainian president, an intelligence officer with direct knowledge of the meeting told me, was straight out of a 1950s mafia movie.

The generals and government officials in Kiev were angry at what they saw as Zelensky's greed, so Burns told the Ukrainian president that "he was taking a bigger share of the money that was going to the generals".

Burns also presented Zelensky with a list of 35 generals and senior officials whose corruption was known to the CIA and other members of the US government. Zelensky responded to American pressure ten days later by publicly firing ten of the most ostensible officials on the list.

“The ten he got rid of were blatantly bragging about how much money they had, driving around Kiev in their new Mercedes,” the intelligence officer said.

Meanwhile, Hersh, quoting an intelligence official, said the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines and the lack of strategic planning regarding Ukraine had caused a growing divide between the White House and the US intelligence community.

Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the headquarters of the Dnepr and Vostok groups in the Kherson region and the LPR, where he heard reports from commanders Mikhail Teplinsky, Oleg Makarevich and Alexander Lapin.

At a meeting at the headquarters of the Dnepr group, the president presented the servicemen with a list of the icon of the Savior Not Made by Hands. The head of state traveled between the sites by helicopter.

▪️Putin publicly visited the Kherson region, where — publicly, at least — neither the Minister of Defence Shoigu nor the Chief of the General Staff Gerasimov reached.

▪️In the Kremlin press releases, a separate emphasis is placed on the commander of the Airborne Forces Teplinsky and the chief of staff of the Ground Forces Lapin. Both went "on vacation", tantamount to resignation, due to disagreement with the course of the SVO and the decisions made. Both were returned - and most likely, contrary to the wishes of Shoigu and Gerasimov.

▪️Lapin commands the group of troops of the National Guard "Vostok" in the LPR — a structural formation of the Russian Guard. Not only is this confirmation of Lapin's return to the NVO zone, but also his transfer to another grouping with other tasks. Does this mean that Lapin was sent there for reinforcement, or because, in order to avoid conflicts with the leadership of the Moscow Region, it is not clear.

▪️The visit of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief on the eve of the Ukrainian counter-offensive is a step designed to inspire the personnel before the start of full-scale hostilities.

G7 decided to keep Russian assets frozen until the end of the conflict in Ukraine

KARUIZAWA /Japan/, April 18.
/TASS/. Russian state assets held in the G7 countries will remain frozen until the conflict in Ukraine is resolved. This is stated in a joint statement by the G7 foreign ministers, adopted on Tuesday following a meeting in the Japanese resort town of Karuizawa (Nagano Prefecture).

"We are determined, in accordance with the legal systems of our countries, to keep Russia's sovereign assets under our jurisdiction frozen until the conflict related to Russia's violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine is resolved," the document says. The heads of the foreign ministries of the G7 countries also expressed confidence that any resolution of the conflict in Ukraine should also be associated with the payment of compensation by the Russian side "for the damage caused."

The German newspaper Welt, citing an unpublished European Commission document last week, reported that EC lawyers had come to the conclusion that after the end of the conflict in Ukraine, the assets of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation frozen in the EU should be returned to Russia. At the same time, the EC proposes to invest them in European government bonds, and use the interest to pay Kyiv.

According to Die Welt, since the spring of 2022, the EU has frozen about €300 billion of Russia's gold and foreign exchange resources and another €29 billion of representatives of large Russian businesses. However, the European Commission was unable to confiscate these funds, since such a mechanism is basically absent in international practice, and such a step would further undermine the faith of the rest of the world in the reliability of keeping assets in Western banks.

Blinken, in his comments about Hiroshima and Nagasaki, did not consider it necessary to clarify who bombed Japan.

TOKYO, April 18 — RIA Novosti. US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken called the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki unprecedented in terms of destruction and human suffering, but did not name who bombed Japan, nor did he offer any apologies.
“We, the G7 countries, remain committed to maintaining and enhancing disarmament and non-proliferation efforts in order to build a more stable and more secure world. This will also be touched upon at the highest level at the Hiroshima meeting, which, together with Nagasaki, is a powerful reminder of the unprecedented destruction and immense human suffering that the people of Japan experienced as a result of the atomic bombings of 1945," he said.

At the same time, in response to a journalist’s comment that many residents of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, including those affected by the atomic bombings, called for the visit of the heads of the G7 countries, including the United States, as well as the ensuing question whether the United States Secretary of State "something he could have said to them," Blinken never once mentioned who was bombing the Japanese cities, nor did he offer any apologies.
On August 6 and 9, 1945, the US military dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing 140,000 people in the first city and 74,000 in the second. The vast majority of victims of the atomic bombing are civilians.

Eastern Europeans face Brussels backlash over Ukraine grain bans
‘Unilateral bans of individual countries won’t solve anything,’ says Czech farm minister.

European Union politicians and officials have rounded on the front-line Eastern states of Poland, Hungary and Slovakia for imposing import bans on Ukrainian farm produce, denouncing the curbs as illegal and counterproductive.

The three countries banned imports of Ukrainian grain and other food products over recent days, arguing the export surplus had flooded their markets and threatened the livelihoods of local farmers.

The curbs have set the group on a collision course with Brussels while at the same time threatening the EU's fragile solidarity in backing Ukraine's fightback against Russia's war of aggression.

EU diplomats believe the import bans contravene both international and EU law — and will fail to achieve their goals.

MOSCOW, April 18 — RIA Novosti. Negotiations between Poland and Ukraine on the import of agricultural products have turned into a failure, Polish Minister of Agriculture Robert Telyus said at a meeting with farmers, radio station RMF FM reports.

According to the radio station, the negotiations turned into a fiasco due to the fact that now the parties are not able to develop mechanisms for the transit of goods that would satisfy Polish farmers.
...
Last Saturday, Poland and Hungary, amid protests from local farmers, announced the suspension of imports of Ukrainian agricultural products. The European Commission promised to study this decision and called it unacceptable. Subsequently, the Slovak government introduced a ban on the import of a number of products from Ukraine.

RaHDit hackers uncovered the Russian-language network of CIPSO* Telegram channels

MOSCOW, April 18 — RIA Novosti. The hacker group RaHDit ("Evil Russian hackers") announced that it had uncovered a network of channels associated with the Centres for Information and Psychological Operations (CIPSO) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Russian segment of Telegram.

"Several Ukrainian SMMs were opened and, through simple analytics, they revealed a network of Ukrainian channels with about five to six million subscribers. The channels are grouped by subject, some of them masquerade as support for the CBO, and some imitate regional Russian large publics," a representative of the group told RIA Novosti.
The hackers published the investigation materials on the NemeZida portal.
The list of channels is divided into four groups — disguised as "support" for a special operation, against mobilization, about captured and dead soldiers, as well as separately — news and thematic channels for disinformation. Among those included in the list there are also large channels with more than 500 thousand subscribers. There is also data on the curator from the SBU and admins.

*The centres of information and psychological operations are part of the Special Operations Forces of Ukraine (until 2014 they were part of the intelligence of the Ukrainian Navy). Their main task is information and psychological sabotage.
