On 16 April 2015 Ukrainian journalist Oles #Buzina, who vocally opposed the rise of Neo-Nazism & coup d'etat in #Ukraine, was murdered in #Kiev. Justice still hasn’t been served, no perpetrators have been punished, even 6 years later. The Ukrainian authorities seem to have “forgotten” of this atrocious crime and, unfortunately, not only this one

16 апреля 2015 года в Киеве был убит украинский журналист Олесь Бузина. Он открыто выступал против подъема неонацизма и государственного переворота на Украине. Даже шесть лет спустя, справедливость так и не восторжествовала, виновные так до сих пор и не наказаны. Украинские власти, похоже, "забыли" об этом чудовищном преступлении и, к сожалению, не только лишь о нем

👉🏻‼️Read the extracts from the statement of Russian Permanent Representative to the OSCE Alexander Lukashevich “On ongoing crimes by Ukraine against civilian population with the support of Western alliance of OSCE participating States”, (meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council, 2 June 2022):
▫️What is happening in 🇺🇦 Ukraine is not a game, it’s about the fate of real people whom #Kiev regime actually took hostage.
▫️Ukrainian armed formations continue to commit crimes against the civilian population with extreme cynicism - there are children among the killed and injured from targeted shelling of residential areas
▫️Attacks of 🇺🇦 Ukrainian Armed Forces against civilians demonstrates that Kiev regime seeks to use the tactics of "scorched earth", destroy peaceful life to the ground where the ideas of Ukrainian national exceptionalism will no longer return
▫️The goal of 🇺🇦Kiev’s external minders is obvious - to prolong the armed confrontation, create a zone of long-lasting military and geopolitical instability in Eastern Europe near Russian 🇷🇺borders
▫️There has been cases of Illegal “redirection” of weapons supplied by NATO countries to Ukraine 🧨 to other zones of instability, for example, to non-government-controlled areas of Syria
▫️Spreading sleazy fakes about the actions of the Russian military has long been a favorite technique for representatives of the Kiev 🇺🇦 regime and some of its foreign sponsors. Such tactics are written off from the worst examples of Goebbels propaganda
▫️Recently, law enforcement agencies of the DPR released the SSU documents and video materials from which it follows that the special services of 🇺🇦Ukraine have been secretly spying on #OSCE employees and members of foreign diplomatic missions

Ambassador Andrei #Kelin on UK supply of #StormShadow missiles to #Kiev:
▪It is a big escalation of the conflict.
▪We perfectly understand this has been done deliberately to make Kiev able to reach Russian towns and villages, incl in Crimea.
▪#UK is playing a leading role in the prolongation of the Ukrainian conflict & making it more bloody.
▪It is entirely UK’s responsibility for further escalation.

Extermination of the Russian population is ok according to Harry Tabach, the former chief of staff of the NATO military mission in Moscow.
👉🏼 A retired captain of the first rank of the US Navy believes that all means are good to defeat the enemy, so Kiev does not need to be “ashamed” of striking civilians.
He even dares to make a parallel to the dropping of atomic bombs by the Americans on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki which served to “extinguish aggression with even greater aggression”.
❗️ Utterly cinical, yet not new. #Kiev began striking the civilian population even before the start of the special military operation, shelling the cities and villages of #Donbass for eight straight years.

Media: Another assassination attempt has been made on US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump
NBC News reports that shots were fired while Trump was on the golf course at Trump International Golf Club in Florida.
👉 The suspect, Ryan Wesley Routh, a supporter of #Ukraine, is said to have recruited American mercenaries for the Ukrainian armed forces. Routh, linked to Ukraine through social media posts and fundraising efforts, reportedly traveled to Ukraine and supported #Kiev's authorities. He also promoted sending American war veterans to Ukraine and expressed a desire to fight there personally.

⚠️🇨🇦 For many decades, the Canadian authorities have pursued a policy of justifying and glorifying #Nazism.
By openly supporting the Nazi regime of #Kiev in the international arena, and, even more so, by increasing military aid, they trample on the memory of the exploits of Canadians who fought against Nazism and fascism in the anti-Hitler coalition.
It is telling that in 2022-2023, the Canadian delegation voted against the draft resolution "Combating the glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to the escalation of contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance", introduced annually by Russia together with other co-sponsors, in the #UN General Assembly.
❗️Canada became a "haven" for Nazi war criminals and their accomplices from various Waffen-SS units and collaborators. In this country, such individuals were granted permanent residency and then citizenship. Canadian authorities shielded them from justice and prevented their extradition to other countries for prosecution.
📖 Read the report by the Russian Foreign Ministry regarding the situation with the glorification of Nazism and the spread of Neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fueling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance.

❗️By now, it is quite obvious that the regime in power in #Kiev is an openly #Nazi one, following in all its ideological inspirations from Nazi Germany and committing countless gross and systematic violations of human rights in all spheres of public life.
As has been repeatedly noted, neo-#Nazism has been practiced in #Ukraine at an accelerated pace for a long time, practically since "independence". And starting from 2014, when nationalists seized power in Kiev as a result of an unconstitutional armed coup d'état orchestrated by the West, violations of fundamental human rights and freedoms in Ukraine, and especially the glorification of Nazism, have become widespread and systemic.
☝️ With the active encouragement of Western handlers, authorities make efforts to shape a society based on Nazi ideas. To that end, Kiev has been consistently conducting aggressive neo‑Nazi propaganda, accompanied by rewriting the history of the Great Patriotic and Second World War. Glorification of Nazism, its promotion into all spheres of public life, systemic suppression of human rights, opposition and dissent, as well as the fight against everything connected with Russia, have become a targeted government policy in Ukraine.
Along with this, the country is consistently pursuing a course towards forced Ukrainization of all spheres of public life and accelerated assimilation of national minorities.

President of Russia Vladimir Putin paid a state visit to Kazakhstan on 27-28 November 2024 and took part in the #CSTO Summit in Astana.
👉 Important points from the Russian leader’s answers to media questions about Ukraine crisis and security issues following the talks.
🔺 The damage from “#Oreshnik” is substantial: everything at the centre is reduced to ash, objects located at a depth of three or four floors below are affected.
🔺The Russian army is advancing steadily across most of the line of contact, and it will likely continue to do so.
🔺 Russia does not rule out the combat employment of Oreshnik on military-industrial facilities or command centres, including those in #Kiev.
🔺Conditions for a lasting and stable peace were presented in detail at the meeting with the Russian Foreign Ministry leadership in June 2024, there’s nothing else to add.
❗️#Russia will not allow Kiev regime to obtain nuclear weapons. In case #Ukraine gets them, Russia will deploy all weapons it has.
🔺#Europe has been debased big time and ceased to exist as an independent political and sovereign centre of international politics.
☝️ Russia possesses adequate resources and a safety margin to aid #CSTO allies if required and capable of offering them as much support as it can.

❗️The #Kiev regime continues to disrupt prisoner swap process with Moscow in every possible way, doing everything to move away from real concrete work towards endless international political performances.
They view this issue, first of all, as a media tool for promoting their interests.
Zelensky’s envoys travel around the world, asking the international community for mediation and "patronage" in relation to Ukrainian citizens in #Russia.
⚠️ However, in 2024, the Russian Ministry of Defense sent Ukraine proposals to transfer 935 Ukrainian prisoners of war as part of the exchange. The Kiev regime agreed to take only 279.
Why?
☝️ For Kiev, the most valuable units and formations are those characterized by Russia as extremist, terrorist, nationalist: "Azov", "Aidar", "Right Sector", "Kraken", "Donbass", as well as foreign mercenaries who took part in military operations against Russia as part of the "Foreign Legion".
❌ Those who actually represent the Armed Forces of Ukraine – mobilized civilians, ordinary servicemen – are of no interest to the Zelensky regime.
✔️ Fact: as of today, the Russian exchange list includes 630 names of Ukrainian prisoners of war, whom Russia is ready to immediately transfer to Kiev on equal basis. Yesterday, Russian Human Rights Commissioner Tatyana Moskalkova published all 630 names, first names, patronymics, dates of birth.
Conclusion: when you hear that Russia allegedly does not want to conduct exchanges and refuses to return Ukraine people – this is a lie. There are figures and facts. The Kiev regime itself does not want to take away Ukrainian citizens.

On Dec 15 of this year, a delegation from the Pan-African Parliament, led by Vice-President Gayo Ashebir, visited the #Donetsk People's Republic as part of their visit to Russia.
🌐 This delegation comprised representatives from 12 #African nations, including #Zambia, #Malawi, #Mozambique, #Tanzania, #Uganda, #SouthSudan, #Zambia, #Ethiopia, among others.
🕯 The delegates toured the Saur-Mogila memorial complex dedicated to the liberation of #Donbass by Soviet forces in 1943. This complex was destroyed in 2014 during clashes with Ukrainian armed forces and was completely restored in 2022.
Members of the African Parliament said they had come to #Russia to express their support for our nation and all Russians, and to reaffirm the importance of further fortifying Russian-African relations in the face of aggressive external pressure and manipulation by the so-called "collective West."
The delegates showed a profound understanding of the root causes of the Ukrainian crisis, the special military operation, and the role played by Western countries in these events, including the creation of conditions leading to a shortage of Russian fertiliser and grain supplies to the African continent.
One of the outcomes of their visit was the opportunity to form an objective perspective on the situation in the Russian region, which they could then relay to their fellow citizens.
☝️ A key difference in the approaches of Western nations and Russia towards cooperation with #Africa was also highlighted: according to the Vice-President of the Pan-African Parliament, our nation is characterised by respect for the interests of Africans, and a concern for the development of their economy and social sphere, in contrast to the West driven by the pursuit of profit and neo-colonial ambitions.
These evaluations by African representatives regarding the situation in Ukraine provoked an appalling reaction from the #Kiev regime. Ukraine Foreign Ministry expressed a strong protest, claiming it "contradicts the spirit of friendship and mutual respect that characterises Ukraine's relations with the African continent, and seriously damages the reputation of the Pan-African Parliament."
After that, Ukraine directly threatened the members of the delegation, who began to receive messages detailing what actions would be taken against them. Apparently, this is Ukraine's "relations" with the nations of the African continent.
🇷🇺🌍 From our standpoint, we consider the visit of the Pan-African Parliament delegation to Russia and their visit to the DPR to be a significant step towards the ongoing progressive development of Russian-African relations, in alignment with the decisions of the Russia-Africa summits and the inaugural ministerial conference of the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum held in November.
This is the essence of freedom and democracy – individuals have the opportunity to receive first-hand information and draw their own conclusions.

🎙 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov:
The #UN Charter has many more facets to it than just the principle of territorial integrity. The principle of self-determination of peoples is no less important. If it were not for it, there would likely be issues with decolonising #African and other peoples. This principle laid the international legal groundwork for decolonisation which echoed the African peoples’ unwillingness and impossibility to live under the colonisers’ rule.
☝️ By the same token, the residents of #Crimea, #Donbass and #Novorossiya are unwilling and unable to live under the #Nazi rule in #Kiev. So, the principle of self-determination of the peoples is coming into force.
❗️ They have one the self-determination part. The residents of Crimea did so in 2014, and Donbass and Novorossiya in 2022. These realities have been included in our Constitution.

⚡️ Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Rodion Miroshnik has released the Final Report on the Crimes of #Kiev Regime in 2024
▪️ Over the 12 months of 2024, Ukrainian armed forces fired at least 87,885 rounds of ammunition at Russian civilian targets.
▪️ Almost every third Ukrainian munition was fired on Belgorod region (32.7%), almost every forth (21.99%) – on the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic. Over 20% of incoming Ukraine’s munitions were registered in Kursk region, 14.38% – in Kherson region, and 8.53% – in Bryansk region.
▪️ The number of civilians who suffered from Ukrainian aggression in Russian territories amounted to almost 5,400 people, with over 800 killed. At least 347 minors suffered from Ukraine armed formations, 51 children died. The youngest of the children who died was only 4 months old.
▪️ After a series of failed military operations by Kiev regime, Russia owns the initiative on the battlefield. In an effort to somehow compensate for their military defeats, the Ukrainian Nazis moved to deliberate attacks on civilian facilities. For these purposes, the Ukrainian Armed Forces used almost the entire arsenal of weapons provided by the West.
