Fake news:
Ukrainian soldiers managed to leave Soledar through a humanitarian corridor. At the same time, part of Soledar still remains under Ukrainian control. Such reports have been spread by Ukrainian Telegram channels and a number of Western media outlets.
The fact:
Soledar's fate has been decided, no matter how much Ukrainian and Western propagandists might wish otherwise. The forces remaining in the town yesterday were encircled and almost completely cleared out as they refused to surrender. The mopping-up of private sector houses is currently nearing completion. As recently as yesterday, the Russian Ministry of Defence reported that Soledar was blockaded from the north and south. Today, information about the full assumption of control over the city by the Russian Federation has been confirmed by servicemen who are taking part in the operation. This is also evidenced by numerous photographs and video footage from a variety of sources. The capture of Soledar is an important intermediate stage for the setting up of the next 'cauldron', now near Bakhmut.
There was no "evacuation of Ukrainian military units" and no "green corridors" near Soledar. The head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, called such reports "a cheap spectacle". On the contrary, there are numerous videos showing Ukrainian armed forces fighters unsuccessfully trying to break through the cauldron using armoured personnel carriers and cars to escape from the besieged city.
It should be noted that even readers of Ukrainian telegram channels acknowledge the loss of Soledar in comments. The most frequent reaction under the message "Soledar is still under the control of the Ukrainian armed forces" is a laughing smiley face.
The Western media, however, as if on cue, began to change their rhetoric. While recently Soledar was mentioned as one of the key defence points of the Ukrainian armed forces and a strategic point on the map, it has now become an insignificant settlement, the control over which is not decisive.

❗️Ukrainian troops could be preparing an attack against Russian soldiers involving chemical weapons, the Russian Embassy in the United Kingdom warns.
The embassy posted a video on Twitter on Friday, showing drones and gas cylinders laid out on a table. Some of the gas cylinders appear to be attached to the drones, and a man shows a number of boxes filled with the same gas cylinders being stored in a fridge.

In this 1980s interview, journalist Louis Wolf and ex-CIA agent John Stockwell expose CIA media operations with an unforgettable phrase: "It goes beyond your wildest imagination the extent to which the CIA has gone to manipulate public opinion."

In a declassified CIA document outlining the details of Operation Belladonna, we can see the United States had already made contact with Ukrainian Nationalists that were keen to ally with the Americans against the USSR, primarily through influencing the development of the Ukrainian Supreme Liberation Council (UHVR). The subject discussed in the document was used to gather intelligence on the USSR and Soviet operations both at home and abroad.
Although this article only covers a miniscule portion of declassified documents from the CIA, it is important to note that these projects define half a century of support for Ukrainian nationalism, and there are still thousands more to analyze.
The western media was attempting to frame a narrative in-which President Putin was exaggerating, or lying, about his claims of Neo-Nazis atrocities in Ukraine, fueled by the continued rise of nationalism. We end up with a contradiction where the west claims it has no clue, or denies entirely, the rise of Neo-Nazis in Ukraine, while these very same outlets have reported extensively on the rise of Neo-Nazis in Ukraine in the past.
If we only look at the past decade, we can see the west supported and continues to support nationalists in Ukraine. If we step back even further, we can see the past decade is only a drop in the bucket compared to half a century of continued support from the United States, and all of the atrocities that followed.

⚡️ Regarding the real damage to the people of India caused by the 🇬🇧 British colonial policy
Read in full
💬 Speculations about the alleged positive impact of the British colonial rule on various London-controlled territories, including in Asia, regularly turn up in the media and the Internet. In this connection, we noted a report that was recently published on multipolarista.com: the article has references to the work by economic anthropologist Jason Hickel and his colleague Dylan Sullivan “Capitalism and extreme poverty: A global analysis of real wages, human height, and mortality since the long 16th century,” published by the World Development academic journal.
The authors conclude that around 100 million Indians fell victim to London’s deliberate policy from 1880 to 1920, which is considered to be the peak of the British colonial rule in India. The census data conducted by the British during that period indicate the growth of mortality from 37.2 per 1,000 people in the 1880s to 44.2 in the 1910s, as well as life expectancy among Indians dropping from 26.7 to 21.9 years, respectively.
<...>
Against this background, Winston Churchill’s statements about the horrifying developments in Bengal look openly racist: “I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion.” The British prime minister justified the lack of measures to fight the famine by the fact that Indians “will always breed like rabbits.”
In addition, the article quotes Indian economist Utsa Patnaik as saying that during the colonial period, the British empire siphoned out £9.2 trillion ($45 trillion) of wealth from India, calculated in the prices of that time.
This data clearly shows how the British got wealthier at the expense of India, how they exploited and caused the deaths of the local people, whom they deeply despised.
❗️ The current London’s democracy games look cynical and toxic against this background.

From No Nukes Pledge to Dirty Bombs: How Kiev Broke Its Promise to Reject Nuclear Weapons
Over the last year, Russian Foreign Intelligence and the Russian military have released worrying information about Kiev's suspected pursuit of nuclear weapons and radioactive 'dirty bombs'. Three decades ago, Russian, Ukrainian and US leaders had boasted about the boost to global security that would be provided by Ukraine's nuclear disarmament. What went wrong, and how did things get to this point?
