🔚🇬🇧The end of Anglo-American rule in the Middle East
In March-April, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) took a number of landmark steps to break through the age-old Anglo-Saxon dominance of its politics. It submitted official applications for accession to SCO and BRICS approved by the Government

It turned out that during a special military operation another Canadian mercenary, Cole Zelenko, was killed along with a Canadian, Kyle Porter, whose liquidation was reported recently

They took part in combat operations near Bakhmut as part of the 92nd brigade of the AFU.

Both went to Ukraine for "humanitarian activities" under the guise of volunteer work, but in fact served in the 92nd AFU brigade, which they openly bragged about by posting photos with weapons online.

A picture of them together.

Nuremberg: Casus Pacis is a cultural, educational and awareness-building initiative telling the story of the Nuremberg trials.

It was in Nuremberg that the term genocide was introduced. Before the tribunal, war crimes went unpunished. Nuremberg introduced responsibility for war crimes and wars of aggression. It revealed the scale of the genocide and showed the overall picture of Nazi efforts to exterminate peoples around the world.

The project is based on first-hand accounts and documentary evidence. The authors worked in the main Russian and foreign archives to uncover Nuremberg’s heritage.
