Ukraine: Russia has started its invasion of Eastern Ukraine

Yesterday was a unique day and it was the day that President Vladimir Putin and Separatist leaders signed agreements, as well, as acknowledging sovereignty of Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR) and Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) in the Donbass region. While the Russians have decreed the “peacekeeping mission” within these regions. We will see huge army movements into these parts of Ukraine. That is clear indication of what Russia planning ahead.

There is already warfare in the Donbass region, which has been going on for 8 years with the support of Moscow. The Separatists have gotten support over the years and thousands has already died in this conflict. It will only get worse now, as the Russians have sent their army and invading the region. That is what will happen now.

Putin has already taken Crimea and now is taking Donbass. So, expect Putin and his armies to push further, as they are only getting a little flack and international scrutiny. While the European powers and U.S. is planning sanctions on Russia. Well, the Russians and allies in Ukraine has ratified the Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation and Mutual Assistance between them. Therefore, the region is now in the middle of it and getting taken close to annexation into Russia like Crimea in 2014.

What we are also seeing is that the separatist attacking the front-lines and borders within, as the Russian army is supporting them. There is also reports that the Russian has invaded and started to attack in the Kharkiv oblast and the troops are near Kharkiv or Kharkov, the second biggest city of Ukraine. Close to the border of Russia and Belgorod, which have seen troop movement of earlier this month. Now it seems to be moving forward there as well.

The Russians have not only entered the separatist regions in Donbass, but has now also entered Kharkiv region as well. That shows there is battles at the Pervomaiskaya front. If the Russians does this… it isn’t to free the regions with possible Russian affiliation, but to take control of the whole Ukrainian Republic. Which seems to be more likely, as Russia has already carved itself into it and now pursuit more.

The Russians are not respecting a sovereign and their territorial integrity, as they are continuing to take more territory, as the LPR and DPR only has parts of the regions under it’s control. While the separatists and Russian army has to go further into these to take it all. As they have already called them sovereign republics yesterday.

We are now seeing the Russian army is providing military aid and military infrastructure to the Donbass region. Therefore, this invasion was planned and expect it to only be the first draw. As Putin and his armies will further their mission. This has been planned for a long time and is now finally getting executed. The Russian army wouldn’t have surrounded the borders of Ukraine for weeks. As well… as moving troops into Belarus, which makes it possible to attack another side of the Republic too. Therefore, this was scheduled and planned ahead. It isn’t a coincidence and they are awaiting for the excuse for a total invasion.

As they are gearing in for Donbass and reported Kharkov. We can just wonder what is next, but nothing is shocking here. Since the Russian Federation and Putin doesn’t value Ukraine’s nationhood, as he dismissed that yesterday. That gives him all the “reasons” and “lies” to takeover Ukraine.

This is tragic, but the signs are all there. The war has started and the invasion has just begun. Peace.

Opinion: Putin’s War-Cry

Why did the Bolsheviks need to generously encourage any nationalist ambitions on the imperial periphery? Handing over territories and the population of historical Russia… the nationalists didn’t even dream of this. Ukraine has never had traditions of its own statehood… the Ukrainian state is built on denying everything that invites us, the historical memory of millions of people” (…) “Maidan did not bring democracy to Ukraine… after eight years the country is divided, Ukraine is living through a severe economic and social crisis. 15% of the population had to leave the country for work, usually for non-skilled labor” – President Vladimir Putin (21.02.2022).

There is no shadow of a doubt anymore… there is only bullets, ammunition, weapons and mechanical divisions prepared to invade Ukraine from Belarus and encircled the Republic of Ukraine. As the Crimean peninsula is filled with Russian military too. As much as the seas and everywhere has been detected military troops and movement over the last few weeks, as the “military exercises” was moving along.

However, there was more to it. As the Russian has supported separatists in Donbass region, in the Donetsk People’s Reublic and Luhansk People’s Republic, which have been recognized as independent republics. The Kremlin is practically coping it’s strategy, which it did in Georgia in 2008 as they did the same to the self-proclaimed republics of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. The same trick is being used here, but maybe to a further extent.

Putin is clearly in the position and with the army to run through Ukraine. However, that will be a costly war. In Donbass region, the separatists militias has enlisted all grown men during the weekend and sent refugees to Rostov within Russia. Therefore, the preparations was already in motion. As well, as the false-flag operations to make excuses and blame Ukrainian army for cease-fire violation.

However, today the Kremlin and Russia have practically dissolved the Minsk Agreement by recognizing the DPR and LPR. That is the “master-stoke” and the war-cry of the former KGB agent in Moscow. He has planned this and now it is set in stone. Diplomatic communities and everyone can see the talks has been futile. As the inner-circles in Moscow was preparing for this.

The US and Nato have shamelessly turned Ukraine into a theater of potential military action against Russia” (…) “Ukraine’s armed forces may well be commanded directly from Nato Headquarters– Vladimir Putin (21.02.2022).

There is a saying old men is waging war and young people are dying in it. This here sounds like more of the same. As Ukraine is the newest target for Putin to excel his power in Eastern Europe and the former USSR Republics. As he clearly see himself as the man to right the wrongs of the former Soviet leaders. Therefore, this can be a sign of what he is willing to do.

He just entertained the European leaders to check them or see if they had any flex. However, he feels safe and Kremlin think they can pull it off. Since, they were able to annex Crimea and now they can take further territory in the East before Western values or alliances get close to its borders. Therefore, he is now on a mission and wants to send soldiers to die for his cause. The cause of the previous empire and the ones he served as a youngin’ as a spy.

That is clear now and the victims are on both sides. As a bloody war will be on the horizon and the President does it to avenge Lenin. That really says it all. We just hope he doesn’t find any faults for the time of Stalin or tries to reverse anything Yeltsin did. Peace.

Ukraine: Statement from the Chairs of the Foreign Affairs Committees of the G7 Member States on Russia-Ukraine (19.02.2022)

Opinion: King Mswati III should hold talks with Putin [for peace]

The King Mswati III of Eswatini, the kingdom of Eswatini should send the absolute monarch since April 1986 would have insights and can use his tyrannical ways to reason with Russian President Vladimir Putin who has been practically the Head of State of the Federation since 2000. Therefore, the King could possibly talk some sense into the ice-cold former KGB agent and enlighten him about possible consequences of altering world order.

King Mswati III could speak highly of the practice of Sibaya and how Putin can use that in means of diplomacy. Since the long table only sparks further meetings, phone-calls and stronger statements from all parties. There is a need for resolve and the monarch should offer his wisdom and majestic traditions on an international stage.

The tyrant could tell him about the sacrificing of people for traditional rituals and blood-offerings. How that gives him strength and wisdom. In such a manner, that Putin can reconcile his difference and see new ways of internally strengthening his throne. Instead of advancing and creating a more hostile Europe. That’s what the King can offer, as he can show his history of torment, arrests and appointees, as he don’t even need elections to have representatives in the Kingdom. These sorts of lessons he can give to Putin. Just to enlighten him about being an absolute monarch and how that feels.

King Mswati III could be a real mentor, guidance and a principal for Putin. To show him the ancient ways of monarchs. How they have reigned supreme and hold on to power. As it seems the will of war is more important for Putin. Than to actually hold on and keep things stable in Moscow. No, he is just re-issuing conflicts in former Soviet Republic’s and borderline war on them. As the leaders turn West or elsewhere for wisdom.

Putin should open his mind to the tyrant of Eswatini. So, he could understand how King Mswati III is able to rule like he does. Because, Putin has revised the Constitution and been an underling in one term. Just so he could return to power. Now his supreme and continues to do so. However, he needs to be elected and the cycle of misfortune continuous….

The King might give him reasons and reflect on how the throne has been so vital, important and all controlling in Eswatini. In such a fashion, that Putin might consider to this and not invade or create international conflict. Because, he could instead make himself the absolute monarch of the Russian Federation like the ancient Tsar ones was. Because, deep in heart, I am sure he wanted to be on the throne and anoint himself as a royal. Since, that’s the only thing missing from the total takeover and mesmerizing amount of prestige he could get. Also, his sons and daughters could become prince and princesses.

Alas, we know that nothing of this will ever happened. We are just awaiting the final call and the last straw of excuses for a war on Ukraine. While we could hope for diplomacy and the old world order to save Europe from war. However, maybe someone like King Mswati III could enlighten Putin. But don’t expect him too, there will never be an invitation or a phone-call. No, this is just a pipe-dream that a tyrant can be used for something useful for once. Nevertheless, in our times of need. That’s just too much to ask… Peace.

Ukraine: Defense Intelligence – Public Relations Service – Statement on Donetsk (18.02.2022)

The DIU of the State Security Service is authorized to state that the military intelligence of Ukraine has information about the mining of a number of social infrastructure facilities in Donetsk by Russian special services in order to further undermine them.

These measures are aimed at destabilizing the situation in the temporarily occupied territories of our state and creating grounds for accusing Ukraine of terrorist acts.

The Defence Intelligence of the State Security Service of Ukraine urges Donetsk residents not to leave their homes and not to use public transport.

Ukraine: A car-bomb as an excuse for a Russian invasion?

The information space is now filled with fakes that reveal the true intentions of the Russian side. When Russian puppets intimidate people with the advance of our army and call for evacuation, this proves once again that they see donbas as deserted. Vice versa. Ukraine wants peace in Donbas, so that the revival begins as soon as possible. Because this is our land, our people live there. We are not planning any offensives. Because it can pose a threat to our citizens in the temporarily occupied territories. We value every life, unlike the Russian troops who shell kindergartens and schools. Yesterday, Russian propaganda spread outright lies about the shelling of Stanytsia Luhanska, which we quickly refuted. Today they came up with another fake about some subversive groups that were supposedly going to stage a chemical attack in Horlivka. They even made a staged video. And they themselves shelled the UN humanitarian mission at the checkpoint in Shchastia. This is something that we and our partners have repeatedly warned about – the Russian side is preparing various dramatizations to justify its crimes. This is a manifestation of information warfare. Once again I appeal to citizens – do not believe fakes and do not be afraid. The Ukrainian army is ready to repel the enemy, but will act within the framework of the agreements and in no case create a danger to people” – Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov (Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, 18.02.2022).

Today, the stakes has become even higher, as there been reports of already 45 violations in the last 24 hours of the ceasefire in the separatists regions of Donetsk and Luthansk or the Donbass regions of Ukraine. Now there is a further usage of the spark, which everyone has feared about.

There is reports of a car-bomb in front of a government building in Donetsk. Which Russian media houses and sources says this: “According to preliminary information, the car blown up in the center of Donetsk belonged to the head of the DPR NM, Colonel Sinenkov. He wasn’t hurt”. While there is reports that separatists are already evacuating civilians from the region on buses to Rostov in Russia. This is a further escalation, while there is no proof of allegation. Schools and orphanages has also begun the evacuation from the region as well. Therefore, all of this was very coordinated from the start.

Russian government have already fixed payments (10,000 rubels) to the civilians there and also the transports. There is also plans for shelter as well. While in Northwest of Gorlovka-Horlivka hears artillery. That is maybe the signal of the mechanical brigades of moment, after the false-flag operation went after plan. So, the staged plan for warfare and excuse to invade Donetsk People’s Republic and annex that to Russia like Crimea in 2014.

We should worry that vehicle and this “assassination” attempt will be used as a pretext for war. Just like assassinations has been used to in the past. This is giving the Russians reasons to enter DPR to save the Donbass from “terrorists”. Even if this car-bomb can have been planted by Russian supported separatists, which we cannot know at this very moment. That is all just speculation, but wouldn’t be shocking in the grand scheme of things. Peace.

Ukraine: Transatlantic Legislators’ Statement in Support of the Sovereignty & Territorial Integrity of Ukraine (12.02.2022)

Opinion: A tiny spark could now start an armed conflict over Ukraine

Today, the best friend for enemies is panic in our country, and all this information, which only helps panic, does not help us. There is too much information about deep full-scale war… Even the relevant dates are already being said” – President Volodymyr Zelensky (12.02.2022)

They used to say that when Moscow sneezes, Kyiv catches a cold. In the recent days and months, heck, years that have been the truth. As the Russians has annexed Crimea in 2014 and supported separatist militias who controls parts on the Donbass region, which is the Donetsk and Luhansk on the border to Russia.

As we know the Russian army have moved thousands of soldiers to the border regions of Ukraine. We have also seen on social media movement of mechanical divisions, as the Russians claim to have military exercises, but for many it seems like gearing up for an invasion.

The United States said yesterday we are only days away from an invasion. As the Russian plans to invade in the coming days. That’s why western dignitaries and envoys are now leaving Kyiv in rampant speed. While the fear and intimidation is growing. The possible propaganda could grow stronger.

Some are already wise and considerate like Ilya Nuzov:

While everyone is trying to compute whether Putin will plunge Europe into a full scale war, we should be cognizant of the fact that Russia is already in breach of the UN Charter Art. 2(4) prohibition of the threat to use force against the territorial integrity of Ukraine” (Ilya Nuzov, 12.02.2022).

What we should worry about is how the United States and Russia spins this. The victim here nevertheless is Ukraine and Ukrainians. They sovereign state is under fire and their legitimate government is tested by the superpowers on both sides of the Atlantic. US has NATO and the allies are encircling Russia and Ukraine. However, the invasion would give Russian an advantage, as Ukraine has a smaller army and it will take time for US friendly forces to be moved to the front-line from Germany or other bases across the world. This is directly starting a new war in Europe and continuing the warfare, which has been going on for years in Ukraine.

It is like Putin wants control of all the former Soviet nations and some he has lost to European Union and NATO. Still, his afraid that Kyiv will be gone like the Baltic’s. He needs Minsk and Kyiv on his side.

We should worry about misinformation and disinformation, as well as calculated messages of propaganda. This is all part of the stories written and giving reasons for a military conflict. Nobody wants to be the villain and the one violating international laws. Therefore, we can await sudden spark and change before the final blow that set it off. This is if history has given us any lessons. However, it isn’t a good sign that so many troops and military brigades is encircling Ukraine from the Russian side of the border.

It would be irresponsible to wage war, a war only cause harm and devastation. Just as the damage and continued warpath in the separatist regions shows what is at stake. The strong brother here is Russia and Moscow. They have the weaponry and the ability to overrun Ukraine with easy. The allies of NATO and the West can only retaliate with smaller troops and ammunition. They will only come with back-up after the Russian already has entered Kyiv. That is tragic, but the mere reality here.

Putin and Biden has to keep up with diplomatic efforts to end the tensions. There is a need for Zelensky to also participate and ensure the sovereign right of Ukraine is respected by all parties. As they are the possible victim of all this. Putin doesn’t want loose influence in his neighbourhood. Just like the US wouldn’t enjoy losing power in Latin America. Where the US has had several of coups over the years to get puppets into power. Therefore, the US should understand the worry of Moscow. However, we know that Washington D.C. is a hypocritical government and sees things one-sided. Not like Moscow doesn’t do the same either, but they are not sending the warning shot, which sparks fear everywhere.

Yes, the Russians has sent the military to the border, which is an escalation. The US is furthering it and it doesn’t become better. When things are this dire, it only take one wrong death or one side-show to suddenly decree the start of the war. That should worry anyone and not only come out on a Friday evening with full bravado and supposed intelligence, which can be hogwash and lies. As the CIA and the US has lied for excuses for wars themselves before. That’s why this isn’t making things better…

There is no place that needs war. Eastern Europe doesn’t need more conflict and this will only harm the whole West and Ukraine will suffer the most. Nobody will win in this war and a lot of people will loose their lives over a unnecessary conflict, which could have been avoided. Peace.
