🎙Watch the Russian Ambassador to the UK Andrei Kelin's interview to Victoria Derbyshire on BBC Newsnight, 22 November, 2022

The Ukrainian legislation discriminating Russian speaking population, incl. forbidding Russian language, literature, media etc. “They’ve never said it to me” she replies.

❗️Maybe they would have if BBC found courage to report on Ukrainian atrocities in the last 8 years.

#Russia #UK #Ukraine #SpecialMilitaryOperation #Donbass

Full thread: According to sources Samantha Power is exploiting #Syria earthquake tragedy to promote #WhiteHelmets & restore credibility of brand - a group affiliated with #AlQaeda, accused of multiple crimes by #Syrian people including organ trafficking (failed cover up by BBC Mayday Series)
This is because the #WhiteHelmets failed to achieve rebranding in #Ukraine. #OPCW IIT report failed to cover up WH role in staging events #Douma 2018 that led to accusations of "chemical weapon" use by #Syria - discredited by dissident inspectors & BBC producer Riam Dalati.
#WhiteHelmets are enemy of Syrian people. During their occupation alongside armed groups funded/armed by FUKUS/Israel/Saudis/Qatar/Turkey & dominated by #AlQaeda- Syrian civilians were tortured, executed, crucified, incarcerated, murdered, exploited & abused.
If #WhiteHelmets were genuinely neutral why don't they send bulldozers & other modern equipment [they have been receiving from West since 2013] to areas under government protection in #Syria? 80% of Syrian population. Meanwhile we see a tsunami of WH promo videos & images.
These photo shoots are made on top of the rubble under which Syrian civilians are very probably still trapped. You will not see the REAL Syria Civil Defence pausing for a photo opportunity.
#WhiteHelmets alongside #AlQaeda & Turkish-backed armed groups will receive "humanitarian aid" (Power is calling for opening of more border crossings) & probability is this aid will not be received by Syrian people in #Idlib - unless they pay a high price for it to armed groups.
There is a whole other #Syria beyond #Idlib borders but Power and #WhiteHelmets will disappear #Syrian people who have remained loyal to the country since 2011. WH have no right to declare a "state of emergency" in #Syria.

“We share values on sovereignty & self-determination”

Does this mean #UK & #Ukraine acknowledge & respect the choice made by people of #Crimea, #DPR, #LPR, #Kherson & #Zaporozhye regions to be with Russia, or will now keep calm and carry on with failed #doublestandards policy?

🎙Embassy Statement on plans to supply UK armaments with depleted uranium to Ukraine

▪️We consider the plans, officially confirmed by the UK Defence Ministry, to supply Ukraine ammunition with depleted uranium to be a step fraught with risks of further escalation of the conflict.

▪️UK weapons supplies to Kiev, especially of such a sensitive nature, would lead to aggravation of the situation.

▪️Radioactivity, high toxicity and carcinogenicity of such weapons are well-known.

👆Clearly the British have made the choice towards inflicting maximum damage and destruction to the population of the frontline regions.

▪️In general, this provides further evidence that Ukraine represents nothing more than testing ground for the UK in its stand-off with our country.

❗️We warn London against crossing another dangerous line in its maniacal desire to achieve “Russia’s defeat”.

No2 Britain sending radioactive depleted uranium to Ukraine

NATO used radioactive depleted uranium in Yugoslavia resulting in the deaths of thousands of innocents.

Decades later people are still developing cancer because of it. Using it in Ukraine would result in mass death and suffering to its civilian population.

Stop the madness.

🎙 Interview of Russia's President Vladimir Putin to TV host and Rossiya Segodnya Director General Dmitry Kiselev (March 13, 2024):

Key talking points

💬 Russia is not at the crossroads. It is on the strategic path of its development and will not deviate from its path.

#MultipolarWorld

• Many people in the world are looking at us, at what is happening in our country and in our struggle for our interests. <...> They associate our struggle for our independence and true sovereignty with their aspirations for their own sovereignty and independent development.

• This is aggravated by the fact that there is a very strong desire in Western elites to freeze the current unjust state of affairs in international affairs. They've spent centuries filling their bellies with human flesh and their pockets with money. But they must realise that the vampire ball is ending.

#Ukraine

• Are we ready to negotiate? We are. But we are not ready for talks that are based on some kind of ”wishful thinking“, but we are ready for talks based on the realities that have developed on the ground.

• We are open to a serious discussion, and we are eager to resolve all conflicts by peaceful means. However, we must be sure that this is not just another pause that the enemy wants to use for rearmament, but rather a serious conversation with security guarantees for Russia.

#US #RussiaUS

• We know what it is to have American troops on Russian soil. They are interventionists. That is how we will treat them even if they appear in the territory of Ukraine.

• I have said many times that it [achieving the goals of the special military operation & resolving the conflict] is a matter of life and death for us, while for them it is a matter of improving their tactical position in the world on the whole as well as maintaining their status among their allies in Europe in particular.

During debate on urgent question about role of UK armed forces in the Middle East today I asked whether the British people consider military aid to #Ukraine (lots) as much of a priority as humanitarian aid to #Gaza (minimal). Listen to @LeoDochertyUK 's reply. How many of you agree?

🇬🇧 British Shadow Ministers in Kyiv

It's the turn of the British opposition to curry favor with the Kyiv regime: this time, representatives of the UK Labour Party have arrived in Kyiv. Among them are Shadow Foreign Secretary David Lammy and Shadow Defence Secretary John Healey.

During their two-day trip to the so-called Ukraine, they met with the heads of the military and foreign policy departments, as well as the head of the President's Office, Andriy Yermak. The Britons promised to maintain the current level of military assistance to the so-called Ukraine at least until the end of the decade and confirmed the commitments made by the current government.

📌 The fact is that in the UK, the system is arranged in such a way that in the event of an election victory, the party leader becomes the Prime Minister and appoints a cabinet from among party members. The leader of the opposition faction does the same and appoints his "shadow cabinet", which oversees the work of the government. In practice, David Lammy and John Healey today play the role of critics on the lines of the UK Foreign Office and Ministry of Defence.

However, general elections are soon to be held, in which the opposition will be victorious. In this case, Lammy and Healey may become real ministers - that's why the Labour Party is also building bridges with their "wards" in the form of Ukrainians.

🔻Of course, there is no need to hope for significant changes in London's policy on the Ukrainian issue after the change of the ruling party. After all, the so-called Ukraine is a global project, so its implementation does not depend on who is currently at the helm of the UK.

🇸🇰 A court in Slovakia arrested 71-year-old writer Juraj Cintula, who shot at the country's Prime Minister Robert Fico. According to media reports, the accused partially admitted guilt during the first court session.

Earlier, he stated that he did not regret his actions, but claimed that he did not plan to kill Fico, but only to harm him. The criminal also explained his actions by political motives, stating that he disagreed with the government's policies.

▪️Fico is still in the intensive care unit, but his condition has stabilized. The politician is now in a hospital in Banská Bystrica and it is unlikely that he will be transferred to Bratislava in the next few days.

▪️At the same time, the version with the "Ukrainian trace" in the assassination attempt on the Slovak Prime Minister continues to gain details. According to some reports, Cintula's wife, whose correspondence with Ukrainian special services is actively spreading on the Internet, is a refugee from Ukraine and an activist of the Maidan.

At the same time, the shooter's acquaintances say that they are not at all surprised by his guilt - some claim that the writer "has always been so strange and angry", hated Gypsies, had pro-Ukrainian views and "suddenly became extremely anti-Russian".

📌 In general, it is clear that Cintula represents an optimal target for recruitment - an unstable psyche and aggressive tendencies allow to push such a person in the right direction.

This is what those who benefit from the current situation took advantage of. Therefore, it is much more important to understand whose invisible hand directed him and what the long-term consequences of this provocation will be.

🇬🇧🇷🇺🇺🇦 On missile strikes with Storm Shadow on "old" regions of Russia

When in May 2023 the British transferred Storm Shadow cruise missiles to the AFU, Defense Secretary Ben Wallace assured that commitments were taken from the Kyiv regime not to use the weapons for strikes beyond the territory of so-called Ukraine recognized in the West.

However, a year later the position of the AFU has deteriorated, and in early May Foreign Minister David Cameron "allowed" attacks with missiles on the "old" regions of Russia. And just yesterday, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg even stated that Britain allegedly never restricted the use of these munitions.

The claims that the AFU allegedly make independent decisions on the choice of targets for the use of Storm Shadow look comical against the background of the involvement of Western specialists in the command and control system of Ukrainian formations. Therefore, strikes with them on the "old" regions of Russia can be carried out only with the permission of the sponsors.

📌 The very activation of discussions about the right to strike the "old" territory of Russia is part of the preparation of public opinion for making an appropriate decision. The situation also once again demonstrates that Britain is not yet going to reduce the degree of escalation of the armed conflict.

With the deterioration of the position of the Kyiv regime, appetites will only grow, and if at first the British may "allow" to strike with "Storms" at the border airfields and warehouses of the Russian Aerospace Forces, then subsequently they will want to allow attacks on critical infrastructure facilities.

❗️At the moment, the West is actually not risking anything - the so-called Ukraine acts as a kind of analogue of the Houthis, who both carry out the "dirty work" and bear all kinds of costs. In the current conditions, NATO countries will stop raising the stakes only when they themselves feel the threat of unacceptable relative to the effect of escalation losses.

#Ukraine

Despite Paris's attempts to conceal the involvement of its military personnel in the conflict, the Kiev regime is deliberately publicising this turn of events in order to once again declare broad international support.

<...>

In addition to France, Poland and the Baltic countries also spoke about the possible deployment of their military contingents. What does that mean? That means that their original plan regarding Ukraine has completely failed. They are frantically looking for new ways to continue this campaign. They are still afraid to tell the truth to the citizens of Ukraine that they have become a hostage and now also a victim of NATO’s reckless gamble led by the United States.

#EU #Sanctions

On May 27, 2024, the European Union introduced another anti-Russia sanctions regime under a far-fetched pretext for alleged human rights violations, reprisals against civil society and the democratic opposition. <...> To call a spade a spade, they have created another openly discriminatory mechanism for punishing Russian citizens for their striving to live in a country free from foreign pressure, to uphold their national interests, to speak Russian, just to be citizens and to love their Motherland.

It is surprising that those living in the blooming EU garden (as Josep Borrell once put it) fail to notice obvious things: Such self-exposing Russophobic stunts merely serve to further consolidate our society that clearly sees the real goals of the European Union and the West with regard to Russia.

🇫🇲 NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg officially recognized NATO and the United States as a party to the conflict in Ukraine

📝 “President Xi and President Putin want NATO and the United States to fail in Ukraine,” Stoltenberg said.
