The #EuropeanUnion has not gone as far as barring the Foreign Minister of Russia Sergey Lavrov from travelling as a diplomat; there can be exemptions from EU sanctions. This is what the head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, said on Monday in response to a question from a journalist on whether the EU sanctions prevent the Russian Minister from travelling to Geneva.
❗️ But they did go too far. They are lying and scrambling to get away with it.
Russia prepared two routes which Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and his delegation could take to attend meetings of the Conference on Disarmament and the UN Human Rights Council at the United Nations Office at Geneva.
👉 #Poland and #Estonia denied them passage, and the UN Secretariat knew this. Both countries cited EU sanctions.
Mr Borrell, what betrays the doublespeak in your position is that when Sergey Lavrov asked countries in their national capacity to express their positions on security matters, which are critical to us, you answered for all EU member states, although no one asked you or the EU as an organisation to do so. You even provided a lengthy explanation to demonstrate that the EU has a “collective position” based on the majority opinion.
But when the same countries denied the delegation passage for attending UN events in Geneva on the basis of the EU restrictions that you have announced, you said that it is their sovereign right 🤷♂️
Doublespeak from a doublespeaker.

Ukrainian FM Kuleba: “Russian FM Lavrov spreads disinfo by falsely alleging Ukraine wants to restore its nuclear arsenal. Once again: This is a cynical, blatant lie by Russia who itself fires at nuclear facilities in Ukraine. Safe zones must be established around them to prevent disaster in Europe.”
💬 #Zakharova: Just look at what kind of turncoats they are! Simply read their statements, read what the Ukrainian leadership has been saying publicly. There was also more said, behind the scenes.
This is how it goes:
💬 Secretary of the National Security Council Alexander Turchinov, April 2018:
“With all these events behind us, we can draw a conclusion that few will like. Giving up nuclear weapons was our historical mistake. The security guarantees are not even worth the paper on which they were written.”
💬 Head of the Servant of the People parliamentary group Davyd Arakhamia, July 29, 2021:
“I think that Kravchuk made a fatal mistake by getting rid of nuclear weapons after signing a meaningless memorandum. Basically, this mistake has been haunting us ever since. It dwarfs all the other mistakes by all other presidents. Had we been a nuclear power, everyone would have talked to us and sought to reach agreements in a different manner.”
💬 President Vladimir Zelensky, February 19, 2022:
“Since 2014, Ukraine has made three attempts to convene consultations of guarantor countries under the Budapest Memorandum. All three failed. Today, Ukraine is making its fourth attempt, which is my first attempt as President. Make no mistake, this is the last try for me, and for Ukraine. I am seeking to initiate consultations under the Budapest Memorandum, and instructed the Foreign Minister to convene the them. If they do not take place yet again or do not result in security guarantees for our state, Ukraine will have the right to view the Budapest Memorandum as a dead letter, which calls into question the entire package of decisions adopted in 1994.”

Ukraine’s biolabs were funded by the Pentagon to develop biological weapons. These labs in Ukraine were subordinate to the Health Ministry.
In the summer of 2016, Barack Obama’s Democrat administration sent US national Ulyana Suprun (born and raised in the US) to Ukraine, where she became Health Minister of Ukraine.
Ulyana Suprun’s father, George Harry Jurkiw, is a retired vice-president of North American Controls Inc, a defence industry corporation.
Ulyana Suprun’s grandfather, Ivan Jurkiw, was a corporal in the independent army of Ukraine in 1919. There are reports that in WWII he was a member of Bandera units and took part in combat and sabotage missions against Soviet troops in the Carpathian Mountains.
Ulyana Suprun’s husband, Marco Suprun, is a Canadian propagandist and producer. He is notorious for his contacts with ultra-right activists in Ukraine.
This is just one instance that illustrates how demilitarisation is connected with deNAZIfication.

A deep dive into the genesis of the Nazi comeback in Ukraine & how the West nurtured Nazi collaborators & their descendants.
💬 May 9, 1945. Berlin has surrendered, and the Nazi Reich has been condemned by the peoples liberated by Soviet soldiers and allied nations. Soon, the Nuremberg Trials will begin, condemning Nazism as a criminal and misanthropic ideology. Collaborators and Nazi accomplices in Ukraine are facing a difficult choice: should they continue fighting the Soviet regime on the liberated territory, or escape to the West?

Ukrainian Nazis that fled from fair trial 75 years ago have returned to the place they were expelled from by Soviet soldiers via their children and with direct support from the West.

Western media can block us on Twitter all they want.

They can do this as long as they like but they must remember that history always dots its i’s and crosses its t’s.
The truth will always prevail.

💬 Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria #Zakharova on the planned exchange of prisoners of war between the Russian and the Ukrainian Side:
❗️ Ukraine turned down all proposals and agreed-upon positions without explaining its motives.
Before that Russia and Ukraine negotiated a plan for exchanging prisoners of war. It was intended to do everything under the established procedure, as stipulated by humanitarian norms and in cooperation with international organisations.
We have every reason to believe that the situation with captive Russian service personnel (and their condition) leaves much to be desired.
Also: The Kiev regime notified that it does not intend to honour the Geneva Convention.
Not only are Western countries aware of Kiev’s crude violations of international humanitarian law with regard to Russian prisoners of war. They receive all information, and they are also trying to help Ukrainian authorities avoid responsibility.

🎙 Comment by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria #Zakharova on the United States preventing the Russian government delegation from attending the 21st session of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues in New York
💬 The US authorities have again prevented Russian representatives from attending an event held under the UN aegis.
The United States has refused to issue US entry visas to Russian delegation head and Head of the Federal Agency for Ethnic Affairs Igor Barinov, a Russian Foreign Ministry official, and a number of representatives of small indigenous peoples of the North of the Russian Federation, who had planned to travel to New York on April 24 to attend the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.
The Foreign Ministry regards these actions as part of a consistent US policy that constitutes a serious breach of the US commitments under the Agreement between the United Nations and the United States of America regarding the Headquarters of the United Nations of October 31, 1947. The obvious aim of this move is to escalate the confrontation with Russia at all costs by blocking any possibility of full-scale Russian representation and work at the UN venue.
This aggressive attitude will certainly receive a response.

💬 #Zakharova: Indeed, we noted the latest unfriendly statements made by American representatives about our country at the Food Security Conference they organised in New York. It took place on May 18 with a limited number of states but with a very specific task – to prove that the special military operation in Ukraine is the main reason for the global food shortage.
We are not surprised. These anti-Russia accusations are part of a well-orchestrated campaign of the collective West. Its goal is to blame Russia for all global problems.

💬 Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria #Zakharova: Speaking about food security, I would like to recall that prices on food products and energy soared since early 2020 due to:
- coronavirus pandemic,
- bad climate conditions
- and, importantly, systemic miscalculations in the financial and economic policy of the Western countries.
This created difficulties in the world markets (higher freight and insurance rates and transport breakdowns). Transport logistics and insurance collapsed due to the pandemic. Unilateral sanctions were imposed on top of all that.
These sanctions introduced by Washington and the EU under its pressure exacerbated the situation to the utmost.
I would even call them not just unilateral sanctions but sanction harassment of our country.
The goal is obvious – to isolate and inflict maximum damage on the Russian economy and Europe.
In turn, we confirm our willingness to continue fulfilling our commitments regarding the export of grain, fertilizer, energy and other critical products.

Kiev is going to introduce the practice of mass requisitioning Ukrainian enterprises from owners who, by the arbitrary decision of the authorities, are recognised as pro-Russia sympathisers. What kind of law, democracy or liberalism are we talking about?
❗️ The policy of forced Ukrainisation and persecution of everything that is Russian continues unabated.
On June 19, the Verkhovna Rada approved draft laws that effectively ban Russian music from being played in the streets of Ukrainian cities, music halls, stadiums and on radio and television.
Books, newspapers and magazines from Russia and Belarus have been banned in Ukraine and cannot be brought in. Russian-speaking writers are removed from world literature courses.
A native of Odessa, Anna Akhmatova wrote, “It’s not scary to die by a bullet, not painful to lose home, and we will protect you, Russian speech, the great Russian word.”

Opinion by Maria #Zakharova:
💬 Joe Biden equated the notions of “being Palestinian” and “being Irish American” by saying that their struggle is similar to the struggle of British-suppressed “Irish Catholics.”
How interesting! Is it possible to extrapolate this premise?
“Being Chinese” means fighting Britain’s attempts to pump the country with opium and profit from it.
“Being Indian” means campaigning for independence from its British oppressors through peaceful means.
“Being a native American or Canadian,” means resisting forceful assimilation by the US and Canada and compulsory settlement in reservations.
With this level of empathy, it’s probably not difficult for Joe Biden to imagine what it has meant to be a Russian in Ukraine over the past eight years and now in his home country as well.
What interesting vistas of geopolitical creativity has the US President opened with this comparison!
By the way, we would like to see an official response from the Israeli Cabinet of Ministers to the statement that the Palestinians are the new Irish because if this is true, they are at least entitled to a referendum.
And, of course, we look forward to a draft US resolution in the UN Security Council demanding that Israel stop oppressing the Palestinians.
Or is this just another of Biden’s slip-ups?

During the planned visual inspection of Nord Stream on November 6, 2015, experts discovered a #NATO Sea Fox mine destroyer in the space between the strings of the pipeline, directly under one of them. This was at the 651 km mark at a depth of 40 metres.
At that time, the Swedish armed forces removed the explosive device. The transportation of gas was resumed after the emergency was handled. NATO claimed that the underwater mine destroyer was allegedly lost during exercises.
