Opinion: Putin you have ill intentions and the skulls of Ukraine speaks louder than your words

There are no bad intentions towards our neighbours. And I would also advise them not to escalate the situation, not to introduce any restrictions. We fulfil all our obligations and will continue to fulfil them. We do not see any need here to aggravate or worsen our relations. And all our actions, if they arise, they always arise exclusively in response to some unfriendly actions, actions against the Russian Federation” – President Vladimir Putin (04.03.2022)

Today’s national address on Russian Television from Vladimir Putin on the invasion in Ukraine. The days are going and going. It has been over a week since the official invasion and the numbers of fatalities are rising. The Russian army and Belorussian allies are sending missiles, dropping bombs and shelling urban areas across the Ukrainian republic. It is not like they coming with roses and humanitarian aid.

No, Putin and his allies are coming with invasion forces to overthrow and get rid of the elected leadership of Ukraine. He does this to get control of Kyiv and the nearby territories of the Russian Federation. Putin and his army isn’t coming with peaceful means, but with destructive and deprecating actions of his army towards the neighbour.

This is all bad intentions, there is no good ones here. Especially not from Moscow and Kremlin. Alas, these words are just infuriating and insulting to human intelligence. The ones believing it must be a fool and haven’t seen a single picture or video released from Ukraine. The burned buildings, shelled-high-rises, destroyed public buildings and people seeking shelter underground. Therefore, it is hard to see any positive vibes from Russia now.

It’s the Russian Federation and allies which has been unfriendly. It isn’t friendly to invade a sovereign and neither try to get rid of their leadership. As there been two reports of trying to assassinate and kill the elected leadership of Kyiv. That has been done by organizations and security groups associated with Kremlin. Therefore, there is no proof of any sort of goodness or well spirited initiatives under the current Putin regime.

I only see death and destruction, if that is seen good intentions… I don’t know about you… but for people like me. That is the definition of bad and ill-willed. That you are sending the army, air-force and navy to invade someone is barbaric and a clear violation of their sovereign rights as a nation. Therefore, Putin has no justification for this. Except he wants to takeover the previous USSR republics and have all influence of that political sphere. This is why Ukraine could only be the beginning. As he has send warnings shots to Sweden and Finland as well….

That’s why Putin is lying here and he shouldn’t be believed. This is fodder for the propaganda machine back home. However, the rest of the world is seeing the wilful acts of his troops in Ukraine. They are shooting, killing and destroying a nation. Just because one man is fearing his lost influence in Europe.

That is the tragedy here. The Ukrainian people are suffering, because one man decided to go war. That isn’t a good vibe or a good idea. No, it is really bad and he cannot defend that properly. Secondly, we are not buying it. Peace.

Ukraine: “United for Hungary” – Dr. Márki-Zay Péter open letter to President Zelensky (02.03.2022)

Ukraine: Europe needs to listen to the pleas of President Zelensky

We want to bring about the closure of the sky because we specifically kill our people. This happens from the territory of Belarus and from the territory of Russia. These missiles, bombs, Iskanders, planes, bombers are flying” (…) “I said, if you can’t bring in the closure of the sky now, now give us a deadline – when. If you can’t give Ukrainians a deadline now for you to implement it, tell me how many people should break down? How many hands, feet, heads are needed so that they are torn off, so that they fly away to reach you, so that you close it? How much do you need? Number say! I will go, we will count, and we will wait until this moment” (…) “If you don’t have the strength to close the sky, then give me planes. If we do not, God forbid, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia will continue. Next will be Georgia, Moldova, Poland. So they will go to the Berlin Wall” (…) “I want to thank those countries that support us, transfer weapons. But it happened too late. This is the term when we spoke and asked, this term costs thousands of lives of Ukrainians” – President Volodmyr Zelensky (03.93.2022).

It has been over a week since the Russian invasion of Ukraine started. The conflict isn’t stagnating or reversing. The Russian fronts are moving forward, but at a slower pace than what the Russian themselves anticipated. As they had plans for a total surrender by 15 days.

This is Putin’s war and his associates who thrives on it. They are the ones who has issued it and wants to install a puppet regime in Kyiv. That is who the Moscow regime is and what they are willing to do.

The Kyiv government are fighting for the integrity and sovereignty, as they are on the front-line on the values of Europe and democratic principals, which Moscow or Putin doesn’t believe in. That is the reality here.

That’s why it looked for a while, that Europe and NATO only wanted to show solidarity and meaningless sanctions, which would only be for the publicity and not damage anything. However, the European nations have started to serve with weapons, equipment and other needed necessities in the conflict. As well, as allowing European citizens to fight on the Ukrainians side on the battlefield. Therefore, during the last week there been plenty of changes.

However, there is still ways to go and needed support to strengthen the underdog and the weaker party of the conflict. Ukraine will need continues support and military supplies of all sorts. The defending party needs vast military equipment, vehicles, planes and ammunition. It is not like they can carry the weight on their own shoulders that easily. When they are competing with a military giant, which happens to be Russia. It is not like the Ukrainians has the manpower or the supplies of the Russian Federation. Even if the Russians are sanctioned and financially cut off. It still has reserves and supplies, which could keep the up-keep on the front-line a long time. Even if the citizens are hurt and their pockets are left to dust.

That’s why the statements of Zelensky is important. As they are speaking of a true sentiment of the ones fighting for survival. It is not like Ukraine is just being a victim. No, they are being violated, hurt and killed on the regular now. Their cities and lives are left in the rubble of missiles and bombs. There is no peace and only a total war on their doorsteps. They need help and Europe should give whatever is necessary.

Europe needs to counter the Russian-Belorussian forces, which is invading Ukraine. Ukraine is not only as strong as the will of the people, but they can be encouraged and get the supplies than can stop the Russian from moving forward. That should be the goal of Europe and be a helping hand in the dire hour of need. It is the darkest hour and it is not the time to reconsider your stances of war.

The war is already here and we have to act accordingly. Peace.

Ukraine: Seized Russian tanks, military vehicles or military equipment is now “tax-free” combat trophies

The war that has lasted over a week now and there been viral videos of farmers or citizens impounding tanks in Ukraine. We have seen the powerful resistance and willpower of the Ukrainian people, as they have no fear to either destroy or burn military vehicles. To take it further some farmers or citizens are even taking military vehicles to their homes or turf. These have either gotten stuck or abounded by Russian soldiers, as they lack logistical support or gasoline to move forward in their invasion.

It’s really striking of the government and the National Agency for the Protection against Corruption (NACP) are making exceptions like these. They are in the middle of war-time and it is circumstances where things are out of control. The taking of military vehicles and equipment is directly helping the motherland and part of self-defence. Therefore, it is really something else.

Just read here:

Have you captured a Russian tank or armored personnel carrier and are worried about how to declare it? Keep calm and continue to defend the Motherland! There is no need to declare the captured Russian tanks and other equipment, because the cost of this … does not exceed 100 living wages (UAH 248,100)” (…) “Speaking by the letter of the law, combat trophies are not subject to reflection in the declaration for the following reasons: they were acquired not as a result of the conclusion of any type of transaction, but in connection with the full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation on February 24, 2022 against the independent and sovereign Ukrainian state as a continuation the insidious attack of the Russian Federation on Ukraine launched in 2014. Thanks to the courage and victory of the defenders of the Ukrainian state, enemy military equipment usually comes to you already destroyed and disabled, which makes it impossible to evaluate it in accordance with the law On the valuation of property, property rights and professional valuation activities in Ukraine. Therefore, it is also impossible to find out how much such property costs” (Ukraine’s National Agency for the Protection against Corruption (NAPC), 01.03.2022).

So, this is the power of resistance or defiance against the Russian Federation invasion of Ukraine. As the state is defending the taking of combat trophies. The citizens of Ukraine have now free will and ability to scavenge the Russian convoys and left behind military vehicles. This is all part of the law and the authorities is encouraging it.

The Ukrainian farmers or citizens can pick the left behind vehicles or equipment home. There is even a tank, which is now on sale on Ebay. Therefore, everyone is not pinning it to the local government or the authorities, as the Ukrainian Defence can get free vehicles or equipment by this action done by the resilient citizenry. This is commendable in the middle of war and with missiles strikes, air-raids and troubling time…

The NAPC is giving way, but doing it, as this is very costly for the Russian army and doesn’t cost the Ukrainian Republic anything. They are already paying a heavy price for defending the territory and the sovereign integrity.

In the middle of this horrific events and devastations, at least the citizens can get free combat trophies without any hesitation. They citizen can themselves decide the fate over it, they can either destroy it or hands it over the Ministry of Defence. The last option is to hide it on their plots and farms… so, it cannot be used to harm any other citizen or Ukrainian, as its taken in and now its in the ownership of the last user. Peace.

Opinion: Putin wants to install his old puppet Yanukovych in Kyiv

Putin wants to reinstate Yanukovych as president of Ukraine. Viktor Yanukovych is allegedly in Minsk, and the Kremlin is preparing an operation to replace Zelensky with the ex-president ousted by the EuroMaidan Revolution in 2014, according to Ukrainska Pravda’s sources” (The Kyiv Independent, 02.03.2022).

Not shockingly Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to install and hijack the Kyiv government with his former ally and Pro-Russian Viktor Yanukovych. The man who made favourable deals with Moscow and did whatever he could to be connected with the Russian Federation. He was supported by Russian Friendly Campaign Manager Paul Manafort. This is the sort of fella that Putin trusts.

This man “sold-out” Sevastopol in the Crimean peninsula, which was beneficial for the Russian navy and gave them a port of free entry, which was a lease until 2042. So, with a man like that now… isn’t that favourable, because Ukraine is going towards the West and Europe. His the Moscow elite and is a puppet of Putin.

It is a reason why Yanukovych had to flee into exile in 2014. As he fled from the Euro Maidan protests and his now known for embezzling $70 billion. So, he has enriched himself quickly after 4 years as President and earlier years as appointed Prime Minister. This man has been in the chambers of influence since 2002. While he took power in 2010 by a contested elections, which the opposition claimed was rigged in his favour.

What is striking is that Yanukovych isn’t favoured or popular in any sort of fashion. His no Volodymyr Zelensky who won with a popular mandate in 2019. They are strikingly different… and therefore… it is a reason why Putin wants to have Yanukovych. Since he knows that his corruptible and a friend.

When Yanukovych went into exile he called the new government ‘fascists’ which is in-line with what Putin says about Kyiv these days. That why you know his a person of interest in Moscow. The former President will be a traitor and a gangster of the Russian Federation. As he will serve them and not the people of Ukraine. He will only be their marionette and not a representive of Kyiv.

That Putin chooses a man like this, a corrupt and Pro-Russian leader shows how he values Ukraine. It is clear that he rather have a sort of fella like this, than a sort of leader with integrity like Zelensky.

The world should know this and everyone should just look at the man he vouches for. His not a trusted man or a genuine character. Then again, he favours Belarus President Alexander Lukaschenko… so we know his friends is the popular, the righteous or the ones who has a democratic backbone. He prefers tyrants and dictators who a loyal to him and nothing else. Peace.
