Opinion: Putin warns of “lightening-fast” retaliation [Putin’s War-Cry Part IV]

If someone intends to intervene in the situation in Ukraine from the outside and create unacceptable threats of a strategic nature — the retaliatory blows will be lightning-fast” – President Vladimir Putin (27.04.2022).

Today is the 63rd Day of Russian-Belorussian war and the Russian President Putin continues with his rhetoric. It seems like a never ending story and since decreeing the war. He knows perfectly well and the reasons for doing so is swiftly moving and changing. The Russian President is always ensuring to make the victims to villains. While his ideals and reasons are “righteous”. However, that is typical of a war-lord and Putin is just that.

He continues:

In this regard, I would like to emphasise again: all the goals of the special military operation launched on February 24 will definitely be attained in order to guarantee peace and security for the residents of the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics, of Russian Crimea, and our entire country in a historical perspective. We must be aware and confident that our soldiers and officers have averted a real danger posed to our Motherland. Their courage, determination, and heroism have prevented a larger conflict that would have unfolded on our territory, but following someone else’s scenarios. The forces that have always pursued a policy of containing Russia – historically indeed, they did so in ancient times, and you know very well why they did this – they do not want such a huge and independent country that is too big for their ideas. They believe it endangers them simply by the fact of its existence. Although this is far from reality; it is they who endanger the world” (Putin, 27.04.2022).

Again he doesn’t call it war, but a special military operation. That is a lie in itself and shows how he disregard the people of Ukraine. Since, if the Ukrainian or any other foreign forces attacked Russia like he attacks Ukraine. He wouldn’t accept to call it a “special operation” but a War.

That’s why when you cannot be sincere by such a fact. You know the rest is just patriotic nonsense. Putin is warning anyone of interfering and supporting Ukraine. That he has done before and continues to do. This because he wants to strike fear and stop the support of the Ukrainian forces, which is defending itself.

He speaks of the historical reasons for taking over these territories. However, Kyiv and Ukraine has fought for it’s independence back to around the 1600s. So, Putin is not the one for caring about historical accuracies. Russian President Putin only does this to further the interests of an imperial Russia and trying to forge a modern Soviet (USSR). He surely miss the age of USSR and being a KGB agent, but Ukraine and former USSR republic’s doesn’t remember the tyranny fondly. That’s why the Russian forces wasn’t met with flowers, but was met with Javelins.

We already know that the Russians intends to annex more territories in Ukraine. That being Donbas and Crimea. This will be done permanently and take about 15% of the Ukrainian territory. A way of carving a little by little, but by the end of time ensuring the whole Republic has become a part of Russia. That is the motivation and a way of enforcing Russian control of all it. There is no belief of the sovereign Ukraine in Kremlin or the Duma. Not at this point.

He speaks of huge independent country and believe it endangers the world. However, Russia is endangering the world and shows what sort of means it has. There is no remorse for the massacres, rapes and total destruction of Ukraine. We have seen the pictures, videos and what sort of war-crimes the Russians has done in Ukraine. Therefore, there is no mercy from Kremlin or Russia. The only thing it is bringing Ukraine is bloodshed and atrocities. Two things nobody needs and Putin is the proud warlord.

He comes with yet another war-cry and warn the world. However, he should be worried the moment the guns is silenced and the war is over. Especially, if the Ukrainians are able to contain and stop the movement of Russian troops. Also, if the Ukrainians are able to retake and make the Russians retreat. Since, the world will support them and their rights. After being violated and brutally assaulted by their neighbour.

Putin should worry if he loses. There be no joy and no return to the table among the heads of state in Europe. Except for the puppets and Pro-Russian agents, which he supports across the continent. However, these will be losing too and they know it. Since, Europe rebuke them for what they stand for and the fascism they bringing to the table. Peace.

Ukraine: President Putin blames Kyiv [and wants to annex Donbas and Crimea permanently]

After the authorities in Kiev In fact, publicly, I want to emphasize this, publicly, through the mouths of the top officials of the states, they stated that they do not intend to implement these Minsk agreements, we were forced to recognize these states as independent and independent in order to stop the genocide of people who live in these territories, I repeat once again: this is a forced measure to stop the suffering of people who live in these territories. Unfortunately, our colleagues in the West preferred not to notice all this” – President Vladimir Putin (25.04.2022.).

The Russian President has the nerve, a man who is willing to lie and come so easily with threats. That’s the sort of man he is… while his forces together with Belorussian allies are violating Ukraine on the daily. It is striking that his speaking of Donbas and the ones in LNR/DNR when we know about the forced migration and the brutality of the Russian forces within Ukraine.

President Putin clearly doesn’t value lives and only wants to relieve the greatness of the USSR. If not he wants to have an Empire in his name. Today’s press conference just shows that and his arrogance is very clear. Like we don’t know and that we are supposed to believe his words. However, the propaganda is working maybe internally in Russia, but outside the Federation. We have working minds and can get enlightened.

He continues:

Ukraine pronounces very strict security guarantees for itself: they will not extend to the territory of Crimea, Sevastopol and Donbass. Our actions to create conditions for the continuation of the contractual process followed. Instead, we faced a provocation in Bucha, and the Ukrainian side withdrew from its agreements in Istanbul. Now security requirements are one thing, and the issues of regulating relations over Crimea, Sevastopol and Donbass are taken out of their scope. That is, we have again returned to a dead end situation for ourselves and for all of us” – President Vladimir Putin (25.04.2022).

This is coming from the man who made the brigade and gave honourable titles on the soldiers who participated and did the war-crimes of Bucha. President Putin knows what the Russian forces did, the raping, torturing, killings and mass-graves. The Russian forces just show their ruthlessness, their genocidal ways and scorched earth tactic in Ukraine.

Putin thinks the way and manner he wrote an agreement with the two Donbass separatists leaders and their “People’s Republic’s” that Kyiv should respect this move. The Kremlin and Duma might have signed and recognized these two entities. However, that was done without any consideration and taking into account the sovereign state of Ukraine. Neither was there a legit referendum or anything.

That’s why we know the Minsk Agreement is now an excuse. Just like everyone can see that the Russian Federation has violated the Budapest Memorandum. So, why should we believe that the Russian didn’t break or breach the Minsk Agreement, as it has steadily given arms to separatists in Donbas. We are supposed to believe the weapons just fell from the sky and wasn’t transported from across the border in Russia. That’s how unserious Putin is and shows that he just want to carve up Ukraine.

If Putin gets his will… he will take over 10% or close to possibly 15% of the Ukrainian territory and annex it into Russia. As the DNR/LDR will be directly run from Moscow and not be “independent”. Just like the other separatist republic’s the Russians he has created in Moldova and Georgia. Therefore, his really not sincere and using them as tools to advance the interests. While politicking in internal matters within the former USSR republics.

The warfare in Ukraine only exposes this, as we know the Duma and Kremlin is toying around with other ideas and certainly would like to have a corridor between Transnistria to Crimea. As well, as launching the USSR failed oblast of Tauride Province too. Therefore, the ability and reasoning for carving Ukraine into pieces is everywhere and it’s not hidden. It is exposed and they are only vilifying Ukrainian government and people going there. While not taking accountability or have any concern about how they are directing the war in Ukraine.

That’s why Putin is despicable and it shows. He violated the Minsk Agreement, but says Kyiv did it. His ordering and on the regular basis now violating the Budapest Memorandum. While he dismiss and speaks ill of the Ukrainian government. It shows that it’s no real intent on his part and his only stalling to buy time. In such a way that he can annex as much territory as possible. Peace.

Ukraine: Delegation of the United States of America to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) – Letter urging OSCE to write a declaration stating that Russian actions in Ukraine is genocide (25.04.2022)

Opinion: I believe Scholz is the unknown twin of Orbán

The longer the Russian-Belorussian invasion is happening in Ukraine. The more I am questioning the ones who is blocking, continuing to trade and be relaxed with lacking military support to the forces of Ukraine. We are now in the end of April 2022 and the war started in the end of February 2022. There is enough water under the bridge and the 6 packages of sanctions from the European Union (EU) hasn’t stagnated or destroyed the Russian economy. It is still striving because of people like the German Chancellor and the Hungarian Prime Minister.

The ones mentioned is German Chancellor Olaf Scholz Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. These to are comrades and supporters of the same causes. One is doing so in defence of Germany and another does it in favour of Hungary. Instead of showing proper solidarity or using their nations influence to help the sovereign state of Ukraine. They are instead in silence and with internal reasons continuing to fuel the Russian economy, which gives the Russian Federation monetary gains to prolong the war.

That’s why the ones who has spoke ill of Orbán. His a right-wing, nationalist and a man with despicable foreign affairs policies. If not really bad ideas on migration and refugees. That’s what he has strived on for years together with easy populist measures. In this concern it is continuing buying Russian gas and oil.

The same cannot be said Scholz… his not a nationalist or an anti migration or refugees like his Hungarian counterpart. However, his blocking heavy weaponry, not sanctioning Russian coal, gas or oil imports to Germany. That’s why his so similar to Orbán.

I am pretty sure that Scholz don’t want to be aligned or called alike to Orbán. However, in practical sense and with the brutal warfare in Ukraine. Scholz deserves this and held accountable. Other European allies and EU Member States are more in favour of blocking the gas, coal and oil imports from Russia. The same nations are also willing to give what the Defence Ministry of Ukraine needs. Which isn’t just ammunition, but heavy weaponry and even MIG-29 fighter jets.

While Scholz seems to be cautious and wanting the Parliament to sign it off. He don’t want to sign-off himself as a Chancellor. We know that, because if he could… he would have done so and ensured it. He wants to evaluate everything and ensure the best address for the German industry before doing so. This means that the possibility of supporting Ukraine depends on internal interests and not directly on the needs of Ukraine. That is the sort of fella Scholz is and that just sounds like Orbán.

Orbán wouldn’t risk involvement or supply weapons to Ukraine. Neither would he stop buying gas or oil from Russia. That is all, because the Hungarian wants to be “neutral” and not “directly” involved in the conflict, but they are ensuring profits and money from the sale of energy to Hungary. That’s why you know that move isn’t really “neutral” but indirectly supporting Kremlin and Russia.

The same can now be said about Berlin and Scholz. It has gone over 50 days of warfare and his in-actions shows his lack of concern and more indirectly caring about internal affairs. That’s why Germany and Scholz isn’t really supporting of Kyiv. Only on paper and with some soft sound-bites. However, the Chancellor will easily stifle help or diplomatic efforts with a slow-moving German bureaucracy, which in the end will be beneficial for Russia.

That’s why the unknown twin of Orbán is Scholz. Maybe not by DNA or such, but they brothers from another mother. They are inter-connected by their behaviour and relaxed attitude towards the war-torn Kyiv. That’s why they could be comrades and be allies. Scholz might not like that, but it’s hard to see difference between him and Orbán. It’s only the flag and political banner which is different. The rest is more of the same and the lack of needed support Ukraine is devastating. They are both seeing the results, the war-crimes and the acts of the Russian invader.

Still, for both of these men, the most important thing is their own pockets and not risking anything. While a sovereign is burning and they are banking on the downfall of Kyiv. That’s how it seems and they hope this will not have ramifications or costs for Europe. As one of their own is lost. However, if they are doing so… they are giving Russia a headway and the borders are getting closer to them.

The Iron Curtain won’t be that far from Budapest or Berlin. They should be concerned and help the front-lines of Europe. Nevertheless, after all this time. I wouldn’t count on it. Peace.

Ukraine: The UN Urges an Immediate Pause in Fighting as the Situation in Mariupol Deteriorates Sharply (24.04.2022)

Ukraine: Zelensky is right on the Russians lack respect for Ukrainian statehood…

If our people in Mariupol are destroyed, if pseudo-referendums are announced in occupied territories, Ukraine will withdraw from any negotiation process. [Russian current actions in occupied territories] are not supporting diplomatic solution. They demonstrate that any negotiation process is fiction and political theater so far. We are fighting for the right to live and for independence. We are not considered an independent state by the Russian government and, unfortunately, by a large part of society. They do not respect our culture, values, language, people…and therefore our right to live. Now we see a change in the attitude of our partners. Especially the change in speed [of aid] from the United States. If this pace increases, if the steps correspond to the words, as soon as Ukraine gets enough weapons, we will immediately liberate our territories” – President Volodymyr Zelensky (Zelenskyy at the press conference in Kyiv Metro, 23.04.2022 – Source Euromaidan Press).

President Zelensky had a press conference in the Kyiv Metro today, which is a bold move and shows what his willing to do in the middle of war. The Russian-Belorussian Invasion is on it’s 59th day. Things have clearly not gone the way the Russians planned for their brief and quick takeover of Ukraine. It was supposed to be a quick and easy war.

Zelensky is righteous in the case of independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, which the Russians doesn’t believe they have. We have heard from Russian high ranking officials and others, who has all spoken ill of and disregarded the statehood and history of the Ukrainian nation. Therefore, the Ukrainian President is right in his statement.

We know that Kremlin and Duma has downplayed Ukrainian statehood. President Putin even stated that on the day of invasion and recognizing the People’s Republic’s of Donbas. Just like Putin has annexed Crimea and will not consider it to be Ukrainian soil. That’s why Moscow defends their invasion and doesn’t value Ukraine’s independence. This is very obvious and President Zelensky is right in calling this “political theatre” with the “diplomatic solution”.

The speech or address of Zelensky fits very well to the ideals and talks of a new Budapest Memorandum. As the Russian Federation will not adhere to this one and will neither respect a new agreement either. Just like they didn’t respect or follow the Minsk Agreement either. That’s why the diplomatic solution is only buying time and finding new offensives to hopefully finish the warfare and occupying whole Ukraine by that time.

We can only hope the West, NATO and United States can supply and secure the weapons that Ukraine needs to defeat and take back it’s territory. The Russians are coming in with total warfare and conquer with brutal force. There is no stop of war-crimes and massacres, neither the deaths of civilians and loss of innocent civilians in the cross-fire and on the front-lines.

Ukraine needs help and more than ever, as the offensives are happening. The Russians are using all means, their army and targets certain parts to ensure it has corridors and routes to ease of military logistics. That’s why the Ukrainian defence needs to block these and stop the opportunities to make these.

We can hope Ukraine can stop it in time and get the weapons which it needs. The Russians are planning to create new “People’s Republic’s” out of Ukrainian territory. That is what it does and just shows how they want to carve up the nation of Ukraine. Piece by Piece and Oblast by Oblast. That’s why it has done these things and continues with the same modus operandi. We have seen it and President Zelensky’s words needs to be spread. Because, Europe and the West needs to support Ukraine today. Not in the near future, but right now. Peace.

Ukraine: No need for another Budapest Memorandum … Russians will not adhere to it anyway..

Today is the 59th Day of the Russian-Belorussian invasion of Ukraine. As the use of vile forces continues. The Russians continues to target multiple fronts and trying to invade more territory by all means. There is no stop in the warfare and there reports of deployments of about 20,000 Russian mercenaries from Syria, Libya and wherever who would conscript to the conflict. Therefore, there is nothing, which Kremlin and Duma will not do to stop the Ukrainian forces from defending it’s homeland.

What is striking is that the blitzkrieg of Moscow didn’t work. The quick-fix and stationing troops, mechanical divisions and having military exercises around the Ukrainian border didn’t help either. Since, the Russian moral and lack of progress is evident. The brutality, the looting and the massacres isn’t helping them either and neither is it giving any trusts in the invading forces as a human or caring new ruler. No, it is just an epitome of tyranny and total destruction with no concern of the future.

There is talks of another Budapest Memorandum, the sort of which Boris Yeltsin, John Mayor, Bill Clinton and Leonid Kuchma signed in December 1994, the agreement of sovereignty and territorial integrity as a pre-condition to not continue have nuclear weapons in Ukraine. The price of doing that we are seeing today. As the mightier neighbour is invading it and doing so on it’s own merit. While it has violated this agreement on the regular since 2014. With not only annexation of Crimea, but also arming separatists in Donbas. Which is where the “special operation” is currently having the largest offensive of late.

With that in mind… here is two crucial articles of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994:

1. The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principles of CSCE Final Act, to respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine” (Budapest Memorandum – Memorandum on security assurances in connection with Ukraine’s accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Budapest, 5 December 1994, 1994).

2. The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America reaffirm their obligation to refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine, and none of their weapons will ever be used against Ukraine except in self-defense or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations” (Budapest Memorandum – Memorandum on security assurances in connection with Ukraine’s accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Budapest, 5 December 1994, 1994).

So, when I read that there are talks of creating another Budapest Memorandum in 2022. I’m hesitant and credibly concerned. Not because, I don’t believe Ukraine, United Kingdom or United States of America will not adhere to an agreement, but that Russian Federation will tear it apart and find new excuses to execute the current regimes ideas in Kremlin.

That’s why a Budapest Memorandum 2.0 will not be useful, but be a nice publicity stunt and a “diplomatic victory” but only for a short amount of time. If the articles are not well crafted and stipulated extended guarantees or safety measures for Ukraine. Russians will violate it like they did to the 1994 memorandum. There will be no different from today, because the Russians are currently not concerned about the first or second article.

Secondly, the ones that says Ukraine violated the Minsk Agreement of 2015. While I would state one key aspect of that in concern to Donbas. The Russians has supported Russian separatists for years in Donbas. One key article, which the Russians has violated is this:

Withdrawal of all foreign armed formations, military equipment, as well as mercenaries from the territory of Ukraine under monitoring of the OSCE. Disarmament of all illegal groups” (Package of measures for the Implementation of the Minsk agreements, 12.02.2015).

And we know perfectly well that this was violated on the regular for years. Why do I state this now as there is talks of a second Budapest Memorandum to safeguard Ukraine. Well, when they could not adhere to either of these agreements. Why should we believe that the Russians will follow a new one or respect that even?

We know the current regime in Moscow doesn’t speak or have a rhetoric of taking into account the statehood or the leadership of Kyiv. That’s why we should have doubts that any sincerity in their resolutions or ideals of an agreement. I’m hesitant with that, because they rather get puppets in power and have someone they can control in Kyiv. That’s what Moscow wants and this is deliberate.

So, if the ones who was participating in the Budapest memorandum works for a second one. It should be iron-clad and no loopholes for Moscow to return with violence. There should be no short-cut or anything. Because, that will most likely be vetoed or not accepted by Moscow. Since they want to have the freedom to take away the liberty and sovereignty of Ukraine. That’s why I have little faith and don’t trust the Russians in this regard.

I would have had more faith, if they had adhered to either of these agreements mentioned, but they have breached them both on various of counts. Not only on arming separatists in Donbas. While they did breach the sovereignty and territory of Ukraine in 2014 and continuing doing so in Donbas. Therefore, why should the world and nations work on a diplomatic missions, which is in the end worthless. When we know Kremlin and the Duma will not follow or even try to respect any agreement in concern to Ukraine. Peace.

Opinion: Shchekin needs to get his mind correct

So after Zelensky goes into oblivion and the entire territory of the so-called Ukraine is demilitarised, the Union States will have to take on the other work. It will be in the long run – the denazification of the European Union. This is very hard work. In what format it will be is another question. But, this fascism, the so-called democratic Nazism. Polish, not so important. Romanian, Czech, French, German – you have to turn it out with a red-hot iron. Therefore, it is not necessary for Russian tanks to be stationed in Berlin. Although it may come to that. But already having the experience of the Second World War, the Great Patriotic War and now those processes that have been going on for the past 30 years, I think Belarus and Russia will find that universal formula that, which the least losses, will be able to carry out this denazification of Europe and bring European peoples into normal conformity. Bring them to democracy” Nikolai Shchekin, Head of the Department of Sociology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus (22.04.2022).

I don’t know if some people are out of their medication or has lost their marbles. Though, I think that the man in question is delusional and believes all the propaganda he reads. The Belarus political scientist or propagandist after what you prefers. Is clearly jaded and thinking he can tell story without it backfiring.

Surely he is only seeing “Z” and Russian tanks crossing into new territory. Most likely his dreaming of wild prosperity in the heart of Kremlin and within Minsk. That he can be the wise-man and a sort of spiritual spin-doctor of the new era. However, that will not happen and his not that clever.

Because, his claims are unfounded and unjust. Like saying all of Europe is filled with Nazis and is undemocratic. That coming from the man who is living in Belarus and the opposition, which was lucky was able to escape into exile after the recent election. While in Russia there is no real opposition or ability to run against the regime of Putin. So, that a political scientist form any of these countries speaks of spreading democracy. That is a blatant lie, because they cannot even grasp that home or within their territory. Why would Belorussians and Russians bring democratic values to Europe. When they cannot even do it in Minsk or in Moscow? Bitch please, hang up the phone. You have dialled the wrong number.

While we are on it. The sort of stories his telling is just showing his ignorance. All leadership who is not patriotic or loyal to the Kremlin is Nazi. That is how they are determining it these days. There is no validation or no sort ideals or prospects ever.

He also insinuate that the Ukrainian state isn’t legit and calls it “so-called Ukraine”. The Ukrainian state has a long and rich history. Just like most of the European states. Heck, the Belarus opposition is using a ancient flag and emblems to signify the times before the Russian influence of Belarus. In the same manner Lithuania goes long back into time and was a sort of empire at one point. Therefore, this political scientist of sorts cannot even study history or reflects on the realities of the nations his dwelling with.

The propagandist is proclaiming and wants Russians to liberate Europe from the ghosts of Second World War. He wants to save Europe from Nazis. This isn’t 1939 or 1945. We are living in a Democratic Europe, a liberal and with esteemed leadership who respects one another and who follows diplomatic measures between the nations. If it is within the European Union or between the member-states themselves. They are not bound by decrees or orders of one man in Moscow. Which is what order the likes of Shchekin abides by and breathes for.

He can live and praise the “democracy” Alexander Lukashenko, which is not only flawed, but a brutal dictatorship. A dictatorship supported and nourished by Kremlin. This man might be living good on those terms, but there is plenty who suffers, which he will never save or see. They are the ones who the rest of Europe feels for. As the Russians and Belorussian allies are violating Ukraine on a daily basis.

While people like Shchekin defends and even tries to make it reasonable to further the “special operation” or invasion. Because, that is how these people are and they cannot even see it themselves. This sort of man wouldn’t understand democracy, even if he lived in the midst of it. He cannot reflect or ascertain the ideals or the platitudes of how it works. If he would… he would have left Minsk and Belarus in a heartbeat and known what sort of masters his serving right now. However, we know that is too much to ask. Peace.
