🇷🇺🇺🇦❗️The Armed Forces of Ukraine are losing from 100 to 200 servicemen per day during the battles for Artemovsk. The heavy losses suffered by the Ukrainian side may force Kiev to eventually leave Artemovsk.
According to Western analysts, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will have to choose between holding the city at all costs and retreating to Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, where fortified positions have already been prepared to deter further Russian advance.

💬 Children who were sent to Europe after their evacuation from Ukraine regularly faced various types of marginalisation, and even sexual exploitation and sex trafficking.
I have already written that relevant statements were made by EU officials, in particular, in Sweden, Director-General of the National Board of Health and Welfare Olivia Wigzell had to warn all refugees that they needed to register with the National Agency for Migrants. She specifically emphasised why children should do this: “so as not to become a victim of exploitation.”
Authorities in Stockholm are aware of at least several hundred children and teenagers who have arrived in the country unaccompanied by their parents. A year ago, no one could say how many children and adults came to Scandinavia illegally and without registration. In general, the situation has not improved.
A similar situation can be observed in France, one of the most popular countries among Ukrainian refugees. I have also talked about this: Prefect Joseph Zimet complained to Le Monde that he had no idea where to accommodate 100,000 Ukrainians, of whom, at most, 3,000 work. In the same interview, he admitted that half of the refugees were simply lost, that is, the French authorities had no idea where they were, what they did and how they earned a living. After passing border control, they simply... disappeared.
All these problems forced some countries, in particular Estonia, to close their borders to refugees at some point after the start of the exodus.
Meanwhile, in Germany, which has received more than a million Ukrainians according to official data, juvenile services are actively removing children from refugee families, and the courts are depriving parents of their rights. Moreover, the intervention of guardianship authorities, as a rule, happens following a tip-off from the families with whom Ukrainians have been staying: for example, the parents raising their voices can be reason enough for taking away the child.
Considering the catastrophic problems that thousands of underage Ukrainians in EU countries constantly face, which are not being addressed but are only getting worse every day, the Euro-Atlanticists’ imaginary concern about the fate of children Russia has evacuated from the war zone looks hypocritical and especially cynical.

*NATO countries are a party to the conflict in Ukraine, they do not hide their main goal — the defeat of Russia and its dismemberment;
* behind the beautiful facade of democracy, the United States ignores the rights of ordinary Americans;

It turns out that nuclear weapons cannot be deployed in European countries.
It turns out to be irresponsible, an escalation and a threat to European security.
Josep Borrell came to an unexpected conclusion and threatened with sanctions.
😁Borrell did not specify when to expect sanctions against Germany for irresponsible placement of U.S. nuclear weapons.
❗️Reminder:
‘Josep Borell, the European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, recently compared Europe to a garden – and most of the world to a jungle – in a speech at the European Diplomatic Academy in Bruges, Belgium.

It is time for everyone to realize that today's rotten/degenerate Western system is de facto the Anti-Christ, that Russia is the Katehon and what we are witnessing is the most important clash in history of humanity, what started in the Ukraine can't be confined to the Ukraine, those who believe the conflict can be simply solved and is based on minor geopolitical issues aren't connected to the spiritual realm, otherwise they would know this is first of all an ideological battle, not between capitalism and socialism but between God and Satan, and history tells us this usually leads to annihilation wars, the Bible calls it Apocalypse, it wouldn't be the first one though.

Now they have newer scam of double charging services and products. Making consumers pay twice.
A German walks into a bar and orders a fancy beer.
The bartender tells him : "100 euros!"
The German is shocked - "100 euros? yesterday it was only 10 euros !"
"Well, today it is 100 euros."
- "But why 100, damn it?"
Bar tender: "I'll explain it,
-10 euros is the beer,
-10 to help Ukraine,
-20 assistance to European countries who have
imposed sanctions and are not members of the
EU.
-20 euros in aid to the UK, for successful
implementation of sanctions against Russia.
-Then 30 euros are sent to the Balkan countries
as aid to buy furnace coal/keep their corrupt
politicians.
- and finally, 10 euros for a gas subsidy for the
EU and fund to help maintain sanctions!"
The German silently with internal anger took out
the money and gave the bartender 100 euros.
The bartender took them, entered in the cash
register and gave him 10 euros back.
German in disbelief: "Wait, you said 100 euros,
right? I gave you 100, why are you giving me
back 10 euros?"

💬 It is interesting how the collective heads of the Western liberal dictatorships have two incongruous ideologemes at the same time: the alleged concern about Ukrainian children and the maniacal aspiration to poison the region’s land with depleted uranium.
Maybe they think that it will be like a pox party where healthy children are deliberately exposed to infectious diseases such as chickenpox so that they can develop immunity to them.
But radiation is no chickenpox.
Also, it is unlikely that they are capable of taking care of other people’s children given that they have no empathy towards their own.
BBC Northern Ireland has published the results of a shocking survey. It turns out that the British – the police and the armed forces – during the conflict (or as they call it, the Troubles) in Northern Ireland shot at children with deadly weapons: plastic and rubber bullets. At least eight children were killed, some of them aged as young as 10 (for instance, the Irish boy Stephen Geddis).
Let me reiterate.
The British army and police shot at children using lethal weapons during the “pacification operations” against Irish Catholics in Northern Ireland. The number of adults killed was even higher but that’s another story.
The authorities knew that the use of such bullets was likely to be lethal. A relevant instruction was given in the British Army’s Land Operations Manual in 1971 but this instruction was never passed on to the soldiers because that way it was easier to drown the protesters who wanted to pray in a different church and speak a different language in blood, including in the blood of Catholic children.
The depleted uranium armaments, plastic bullets shot at children, changing the gender of minors with the use of hormone therapy – these are the rules of the new world order.
I won’t stand for it!

⚡️ On the investigation of crimes committed by British soldiers in Afghanistan
We took notice of reports on the launch of an official independent investigation, announced in December 2022, into military crimes committed by British soldiers in Afghanistan.
❗️ The case touched on, in particular, the high-profile murder of 54 Afghani civilians by Special Air Service soldiers; previously the investigation had been closed without any charges being brought forth. Additionally, an evidence-gathering process was launched in relation to, as outlined by head of the investigation and member of the House of Lords Charles Haddon-Cave, “multiple” executions committed by the UK armed forces during a campaign in Afghanistan in the period up to 2013, the facts of which were further suppressed by top officials of the Ministry of Defence of the United Kingdom.
Information on these events is contained in the White Book on Facts of Civilian Deaths in Afghanistan Caused by Unlawful Acts of the US and Its Allies, which is published on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation. It should be noted that such crimes in Afghanistan were, unfortunately, committed not only by representatives of the United Kingdom – another Australian military has recently been charged with killing a civilian in Afghanistan. The bold attempts to conceal these facts seem to have given birth among Western militaries to the feeling of anything-goes and impunity toward local civilians.
☝️ We expect to finally witness an impartial and a transparent investigation with a specific result – punishment of all those involved in the crimes of these militaries. The relatives of the deceased and aggrieved Afghans must see justice served.

Does the US Have Any Nuclear Weapons in Europe?
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia and Belarus have already agreed in principle on the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons on Belarusian territory after the UK's announcement of plans to send depleted uranium munitions to Ukraine.
The announcement sparked strong reactions from Ukraine, the EU, and Germany, who called the move "nuclear intimidation." Putin pointed out that the US has been placing nuclear weapons on the territory of its allies in Europe for decades.
How many, what kind, and where does the US have nukes in Europe?

🇺🇳 The UNSC failed to adopt a Russia-drafted resolution asking for a UN-led investigation into the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines. China, Russia and Brazil voted in favor of the resolution and all the other members abstained.
💬 "There was, as usual, big pressure from the part of our western ex-partners," Russian Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Dmitry Polyanskiy told Sputnik. "They were making it absolutely clear that they are not interested in the voice that would uphold rational position."
But the pressure from the UNSC was a positive sign because it shows that there is a desire to see a swift and transparent investigation into the Nord Stream sabotage.
💬 "I think that many members who were speaking they made their position absolutely clear in the explanation of the votes, which was that they are in favor of transparent and I'd say swift investigation, so there were a lot of signals to the authorities of Denmark, Sweden and Germany to finish this investigation, to brief the Council about concrete results," Polyanskiy said.

🎙 Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s comment on an event convened by the United States under the pretext of supporting democracy around the world
💬 The United States plans to hold, on March 28-30, an international event which they call the Summit for Democracy. A similar meeting was held in December 2021.
This is, therefore, the second attempt by the current US administration to convene some kind of conference in order to - as Washington is portraying it - form a coalition of democratic states led by the United States.
We consider the US authorities’ claim to leadership in promoting democratic values on a global scale the height of hypocrisy since their reputation in this realm cannot even be called dubious. It has been ruined completely. The facts are widely known. Some of them can be found, in particular, in the Foreign Ministry Statement released on December 1, 2021.
👉 The “summits for democracy” are a clear demonstration of neo-colonial practices in US foreign policy. The efforts to organise and convene them are about the United States’ push to renew and legitimise the American tools of external control and interference in the domestic affairs of sovereign states and to force everyone to look at the world through the lens of the rules-based order which is being promoted with the goal of serving Washington's global interests.
👉 At the same time, we are talking about them building an ideological platform to fight against the countries that the US political elite is trying to label as autocracies, primarily, Russia and China.
We deeply regret UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ decision to take part in this unseemly spectacle.
❗️ Responsible participants in international communication should not engage in “democratisation” or draw extra dividing lines. It is high time for the United States and its allies to resume compliance with international law and to join efforts to create proper conditions for peaceful coexistence and mutually beneficial cooperation.

🇷🇺🤝 On January 1, 2023, Russia assumed the chairmanship of the Eurasian Economic Union (#EAEU), an organisation that united Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and our country in 2015.
Russia’s chairmanship has the following priorities:
• Developing the technological potential of the member states;
• Boosting interaction in digital transformation ;
• Developing the agricultural sector;
• Creating common energy markets ;
• Harmonising the financial markets;
• Equalising the competitive environment for the union’s enterprises.
In the past eight years, the EAEU member states have done a lot to eliminate the barriers to the movement of goods, services, capital and labour between the countries of the union. In most sectors, common markets have already been created and are operating successfully. In 2022, three of the 11 listed barriers were removed, and another four more will be lifted in the near future.
📈 In 2022, the EAEU member states managed to improve the following indicators as compared to 2021:
✅ Agricultural production grew by 9.4 percent and reached 11.5 trillion roubles;
✅ Grain production went up by 27 percent and reached almost 187 million tonnes;
✅ Fixed capital investment increased by 5.3 percent in 9 months, reaching 18.5 trillion roubles;
✅ Mutual trade grew by 10.3 percent;
✅ The number of completed construction projects increased by 5 percent (14.2 trillion roubles).
In 2022, the GDP of the EAEU was 173 trillion roubles.
👉 The EAEU space has all the necessary conditions for stable and comfortable work. After the launch of the common labour market, the residents of the union got the opportunity to travel between the EAEU countries with minimal difficulties; equal employment opportunities were created for all citizens of the member states in the EAEU space.
☝️ In addition, over 75 percent of mutual settlements between the EAEU countries have already been switched to national currencies.

🇷🇺🇺🇳🎙 Statement by Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia at UNSC debate “Countering Terrorism and Preventing Violent Extremism Conducive to Terrorism by Strengthening Cooperation between the United Nations and Regional Organizations and Mechanisms”
📍 New York, March 28, 2023
Read in full
💬 We always stand for complete observance of norms and principles of the UN Charter, recognition of the leadership of states and their competent bodies, zero tolerance to any manifestations of terrorism, ensuring inevitability of criminal and legal accountability for terrorists and their accomplices. The UN should continue playing the central and coordinating role in terms of anti-terrorism cooperation given full abidance by the norms and principles of international law.
<...>
Terrorism in the Sahel assumed an avalanche character after the brazen military intervention in Libya by Western states that destabilized the entire region. This had implications even for coastal states of West Africa.
<...>
🤝 Russia supports the initiatives of African countries in the area of combating terrorist threat and manifestations of extremism. We welcome Africa’s measures to establish counter-terrorist cooperation within sub-regional organizations.
<...>
Today the issue of cooperation between Russia and African states was raised again. To this, I must say that Africans have every right to choose whom to partner with and on what conditions. It is failures of Western states that force African countries to turn to those who can make a real contribution to the fight against terrorism on the continent.
<...>
❗️ Russia will keep engaging with reliable partners in Asia, Africa, and Latin America on issues relating to countering terrorism. We remain open to cooperation with all interested stakeholders. We are convinced that the global nature of the problem of terrorism requires coordinated approaches and consolidated efforts of the entire international community.
