Opinion: Yanukovych is proving the world that his Putin’s little bitch

MOSCOW, March 8 — RIA Novosti. Former President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych appealed to Volodymyr Zelensky with an appeal to stop the bloodshed at any cost. “I am well aware that you have many ‘advisers’, but you personally owe it to stop the bloodshed at all costs and reach a peace agreement. This is expected of you in Ukraine, Donbass and Russia, “the appeal says, the text of which was received by RIA Novosti” (…) ““I want to call out to Volodymyr Zelensky in a presidential and even a little paternal way. Vladimir Alexandrovich, you probably dream of becoming a real hero! But heroism is not ostentatious, it is not about fighting to the last Ukrainian. He is in self-sacrifice, in defeating his own pride and ambitions for the sake of saving people’s lives,” the ex-president said” (RIA Novosti – ‘Yanukovych appealed to Zelensky’ 08.03.2022).

It is the 13th Day of the Russian-Belorussian Invasion of Ukraine. Just like the invasion isn’t going forward in the speed that the Russian need. The advances isn’t as great or the results aren’t to the fitted programme. As it was reported that they needed to take Ukraine by the 15th Day. However, by today’s standing… the amounting battlefields are far from easy picking and neither is the resolve of the Russian army up to par.

It is really interesting that this letter is released in the Russian media, by the man that is the planned Russian successor of President Volodmyr Zelensky. This is the man that Putin trusts and wants in office. Because, he knows his corrupt and a gullible to the interests of Moscow. The letter itself proves that and he defends the Russian invasion of Ukraine here.

He is writing like it is President Zelensky’s fault for the bloodshed and the atrocities in Ukraine. Alas, the Russian army is the invaders and the ones coming in with the army to their territory. It is not the other way around. It is not Zelensky who order the bombing of Ukrainian cities or towns. No, that is the Russian-Belorussian armies, which does that on the regular now. They sending missiles, bombs and heavy artillery into urban areas. Which inflict harm, damage and destruction. That is not Zelensky’s fault, but Putin who has ordered this war.

Viktor Yanukovych is siding with the armies that is invading Ukraine. That is what this letter is implying. He has accepted that Russia can annex and take territory from Ukraine. This isn’t shocking, as he traded away the rights of Sevastopol to the Russian Federation back in 2010. So, this man is willing to trade away all the rights of Ukraine, as long as he has a personal standing and pivotal position in Kremlin. That’s the sort of fella he is and therefore, the letter he has written is tainted. A betrayal of the sovereignty of Ukraine.

While Yanukovych is speaking of heroics, his practically the villain or hired mercenary of Putin. His the pawn on the chess-set and the figurehead of the Kremlin. The former President isn’t loyal to Kyiv or Ukraine. That is so clear and his taunting words is only defending the Russian ideals of the war. Which shows where his heart lays.

He is Putin’s little bit… it is tragic, but that is the reality here. Yanukovych could have been his own man and carried himself. However, that’s the choice his made and it’s evident for the whole world to see. Peace.

Good Neighbors Statement on the Ukrainian Humanitarian Crisis: Urge global community solidarity to protect women and children (07.03.2022)

Jacob G. Zuma Foundation Statement on Russia and Ukraine Impasse (06.03.2022)

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

Russia just recently launched 8 missiles on the city of Vinnytsya [central part of the country] destroying airport and basic infrastructure.We are repeating every day: close the sky over Ukraine! Close to all Russian missiles, to Russian military aircraft, to all these terrorists. Create a humanitarian air zone. No missiles. No air bombs. We are people, and it is your humanitarian obligation to protect us, protect people. And you can do it, If you don’t do this, if you don’t give us at least planes so that we can defend ourselves, then only one conclusion can be drawn: you also want us to be killed very slowly. Today and Forever” – President Volodymyr Zelensky (Video Address on 06.03.2022).

It is the 11th Day of the Russian-Belorussian invasion of Ukraine. The Ukrainian President Zelensky is looking visibly tired and possibly exhausted. Which isn’t shocking, as the battle-torn republic is beaten on every day by a mightier force. Ukraine is being tested and attacked ferociously. That’s why the President is coming with a new plea to the allies of the West and the United States.

Yes, Europe and United States has added military equipment, military vehicles, drones and ammunition. That is helping the Ukrainian army at this current moment. The added arms and ammunition is helping. As much a the volunteers and freely moved internation conscription to the Foreign Legion. Which is also helping the defence of Ukraine.

However, the steady usage of missiles, bombs and drones of the Russians is damaging the Republic at a rapid pace. The Russian forces are able to target, carpet bombing and destroy Ukraine, one building at a time and one region at a time. This is a slow destruction and assault of the Republic. Which is done by the air-force and the artilleries, which the Russian has at their disposal.

That the European Union, Northern Atlantic Treaty Organization and United States is dismissing the “No-Fly Zone” is just discouraging, as well as not helping the weaker party in dire need. If they do care about the existence of Ukraine. The West and the allies of Europe has to show up with more. Since, the Russian can just slowly destroy and assault Ukrainian territory on the regular. Which is what it is currently doing. Sending missiles, bombs and whatnot against Ukrainian cities.

If you can’t close the sky now, give us a deadline when it will happen. Tell me how many people have to explode? Tell me, how many? I’ll go to count and wait for this moment” (Zelensky, 06.03.2022).

This is the moment and the deaths of Ukraine should be on the conscience of everyone. Since, the “no fly-zone” could save lives. It could effectively save the war-effort and damage the possibilities of furthering advances of the Russian-Belorussian forces within Ukraine. The European and American support is vital now.

The Ukrainian forces been able to stagnate and stop the advances so far. However, it can be less costly and cause less of a bloodbath. If the allies helps out and actually serves these interests. We know Putin already called the sanctions as a declaration of war. Therefore, if that was slightly true. Than the issuing of a “no fly-zone” wouldn’t make any difference to him. However, it would an escalation, which could make things vastly different. That’s why NATO and EU is careful to not do it. Peace.

Ukraine: Russia planned new “People’s Republic’s” in Western Ukraine

The SBU thwarted the Kremlin’s plans for new “people’s republics” in western Ukraine
The “Federal Republic of Ukraine” was to include the following areas:
▪️ Ivano-Frankivsk
▪️ Transcarpathian
▪️ Lviv
▪️ Ternopil
▪️ Chernivtsi

The Security Service of Ukraine detained the organizer and key figures of the network in Ivano-Frankivsk region. According to the intelligence services, they had to recruit more than half a thousand traitors in western and central regions. Armed separatists were to eliminate key security forces and government officials. After that, the regions planned to seize administrative buildings and declare “People’s Republic” as the example of the so-called “L/DPR”, and then unite them into a new under control of the Russian Federation. The SBU found in the organizer had a ready manifesto to the army, security forces and civilian population of Ukraine with the urge to move on their side. In addition, an appeal to foreign states was found about the demand for recognition of the new “republics”” (SBU, 05.03.2022).

In news that is not shocking, as this has been the modus operandi (MO) of the Russian Federation, as a technique and a way of legitimizing invasion of territory. That the Russians would support separatists and other willing of working for the Russian Federation in Ukraine. In such a way to ensure and make further territory legally part of the Russian Federation. Doing that by making parts of the Ukrainian territory into People’s Republics like they did in Donbass. That makes sense and doesn’t sound far fetched.

That GRU agents and other security agents would try to enforce and organize that is reasonable. Since, the same authorities and Russian agents has worked like that in Donbass already. They have already a game-plan and a way of organizing this. That’s why the Russians supported the separatists in Donbass and ensured their “liberation” right before the invasion of the rest of Ukraine. Therefore, this is nothing new, but a continuation of what they already did.

So, when reading this… from the SBU and the Ukrainian intelligence agency… We shouldn’t be shocked, but this is Russian interference and not valuing the integrity of Ukraine. Since the Russian wants to invade and impose their puppets on Kyiv. To make more “People’s Republics” would be a sophisticated way of securing more regions into the Russian Federation through a “referendum” and use the “people’s will” to take it indirectly into the Russian sphere.

The Russians has used this trick already and it is clearly not working. Because, everyone can see their game and their plan. It isn’t legit and the ones participating is just betraying their Republic and motherland. That is really it… Peace.

Ukraine: Was there a rat in the negotiating team?

Ukrainian media have reported the killing of Denis Kireev, a member of the negotiating delegation with Russia, during an attempt to arrest him by the Ukrainian security forces on Saturday. According to Ukrainian media reports and MP Oleksandr Dubinsky, on his Telegram channel, Kireev may have shown resistance during his arrest by Ukrainian authorities, which led to his death. The reports suggested that the attempted arrest was based on suspicion of high treason, however, no official information or comments have been released as of yet” (Al Mayadeen net – ‘Ukrainian media: Member of team negotiating with Russia killed’ 05.03.2022).

It is reported by Ukrainian media and acknowledged by the Secret Service of Ukraine (SBU) that one member of the delegation team of Ukraine have been killed. There is reports that the killed diplomat Denis Kireev held talks and leaked information to the Russian government.

Media: SBU kills member of Ukrainian negotiations team suspected of treason. According to Ukrainska Pravda sources, the man was killed during arrest attempt. “Strong evidence” that he was leaking information to Russia” (The Kyiv Independent, 05.03.2022).

This is not verified, but there are some Glavnoye Razvedyvatelnoye Upravlenie (GRU) accounts online that is saying Kireev died heroically while carrying out his task. If that last report is true. Than the Ukrainian authorities got rid of a traitor. In this regard, former spies has gotten acknowledged in similar manner by the Russian authorities, as Arne Treholt was also said to “carry out this duties” and this follow a pattern.

However, there is little information about this. As the SBU isn’t leaking details or any information on the matter. They have connected Kireev and others together. That is the their demise now. Because, if you try to be a double-agent in war time. There is a possible that the intelligence community catch you and hear they ended a man’s life. Since he possibly leaked sensitive or confidential information to the Russians. Which in the end, cost his life.

Kireev betrayed his Republic and his nation. Peace.

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.
