📄 Read this independent report "The Online Environment as a Tool for Violation of Rights and Freedoms in Ukraine" by the Irina Berezhnaya Institute for Legal Policy and Social Protection.
The document focuses on violations of human rights & freedoms in Ukraine in the recent years, gives a glimpse into what has been really going on in the country. Nearly always ignored by the mainstream Western media.
The main topics covered:
▪️ Digital totalitarianism
▪️ Online discrimination
▪️ Inter-ethnic intolerance
▪️ Manifestations of anti-Semitism
▪️ Propaganda of Nazi ideology
▪️ Religious discrimination
▪️ Discrimination against the Russian-speaking citizens
During all these years, regrettably, Western countries have turned a blind eye to Ukraine’s disregard for human rights. They preferred to avoid an honest conversation refused to even notice numerous offenses & acts of discrimination.
☝️ We shall continue to raise awareness on this outrageous situation, which has considerably deteriorated over past 8 years.

The first Russian humanitarian aid convoy has entered the Ukrainian city of Melitopol, along with us.
120 tonnes of canned foods, wheat, sugar, salt and more have been distributed to thousands of people.
The mood in the city is calm, fighting is now far away and looters have disappeared.
On the whole, most people were friendly towards Russian troops, expressing hate of nationalist and neo-nazi groups which have increasingly terrorized the population.
But there were others; two provocateurs who came at different times to live stream what was happening, condemn “taking food from the aggressor”. Both didn’t stay long, retreating when the crowds began booing and hurling insults at them.
Our footage and the opinions of locals soon on RT

🎙 Statement by Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia at UNSC meeting on Ukraine
💬 Russian troops gained control over the city of Enerhodar, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) and its surrounding area on 28 February. There were negotiations with the management of the ZNPP and an agreement was reached that the power plant would be guarded by the Russian military. At this moment, our troops are protecting the ZNPP and its surrounding area.
Now, when Russian military are doing their best to maintain security at Ukrainian nuclear facilities, a massive anti-Russian propaganda campaign is unfolding. It is based on absurd allegations that Russia allegedly tries to create a source of radiological contamination.
But why would we do that? We know the situation better than anyone else. No one can be more eager than we are to ensure proper level of nuclear safety and security in Ukraine.

⚡️ #Opinion by Maria Zakharova, Russian MFA Spokeswoman
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.”

On humanitarian situation in Ukraine
Chief of the National Centre for State Defence Control Colonel General Mikhail Mizintsev (March 5, 2022): Unfortunately, the humanitarian situation in Ukraine is rapidly deteriorating and continues to take on catastrophic proportions. At the same time, the…
🇷🇺 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s #interview with TV channels RT, NBC News, ABC News, ITN, France 24 and the PRC Media Corporation, Moscow, March 3, 2022.
❓ #Question: Unprecedented sanctions pressure is being exerted on the Russian Federation due to the recent events, primarily “on the ground.” Has Russia changed its position? Does the world hear what Russia is saying? What do you think about the ongoing talks in Belarus? What should we expect from the next round?
💬 Sergey #Lavrov: This is a comprehensive question. You have touched on many issues. I am sure the world is listening to Russia, but it is difficult to say at this point the extent to which it hears us. The majority may understand what this is about, but they have to obey the toughest dictate.
Speaking frankly, it is of course bad when people die: military servicemen and civilians (women and children). This has been happening in #Donbass for eight years and is now happening during Russia’s special military operation. The goal of this operation is to stop any war that could take place on Ukrainian territory or that could start from there.
I have no doubt that a solution will be found. Our minimum terms are well known. They are being discussed, in part, at the talks with Ukrainian representatives. Talks were held in Gomel and new talks were supposed to take place today. However, the Kiev team has again found some reason to postpone the talks. There is no doubt whatsoever that #Ukraine receives instructions from Washington; they are not independent at all. Nevertheless, talks must take place. I will not go into the details of the agenda; they are well known. We can no longer tolerate the threat of direct attack on the Russian Federation from the territory of Ukraine. Such threats are fixed in the current doctrinal documents of the Kiev regime. One of the main reasons is Ukraine’s unrelenting desire to join NATO and the reluctance of the Alliance’s members to fulfil their commitments that they do not take any measures that would enhance their security at the expense of the security of others.
In the final analysis, this is not just the situation in Ukraine, the efforts to demilitarise and de-Nazify it, to prevent the continuing manifestations of genocide on its territory, putting a stop to any violence and ensuring for the Ukrainians an opportunity to decide their destiny themselves; no, it is the world order that is at stake. This is for a reason that the West is avoiding, in any way it can, giving a response to our implicit, clear-cut proposals on the security system in Europe that rely on existing agreements.
I mentioned the core principle endorsed at the top level by the OSCE which underlies #RussiaNATO relations. Each country has the right to choose alliances. However, no country can strengthen its security at the expense of the security of any other country. No organisation can claim dominance in the Euro-Atlantic space, which is exactly what NATO is doing now. The West strengthening its security at the expense of Russia’s security has become proverbial. We are being told “not to worry because Ukraine or any other country joining NATO will not pose a threat to Russia’s security.” Why should the West tell us what our security needs are? Just like the Americans decided for Germany and Europe what was needed for European energy security. They decided that Nord Stream 2 was something that the EU did not need for its energy security, which would be ensured instead by supplies of liquefied natural gas from the United States at multiple times the cost.
The fact is that we are being listened to, but not heard. They are trying in every possible way to impose on us their idea of how to continue living in Europe.
The comparison suggests itself. In their time, Napoleon and Hitler set out to subjugate Europe. Now, the United States has taken it over. There was no question about #NATO, and the European Union was shown its place. The story of Nord Stream 2 vividly illustrated the EU’s actual place in the international arena.

It was coerced into doing what it is now doing, end of story. Now, they have started talking and Western capitals are issuing demands. The picture being created on the world stage is like something ou t of Hollywood, showing absolute evil and absolute good represented by the main character, who also happened to script this “action movie.” It’s sad.
I’m sure the hysteria will pass. Our Western partners will, for lack of a better word, get over it eventually. We remain ready for dialogue, but on one indispensable condition which is this dialogue must be based on equality, respect and consideration for each other’s interests.

❗️ Russian Defence Ministry:
During a special military operation, the facts of the Kiev regime's emergency cleanup of traces of a military biological program funded by the US Department of Defence implemented in Ukraine were revealed.
We have received documentation from employees of Ukrainian biological laboratories on the emergency destruction of especially dangerous pathogens of plague, anthrax, tularemia, cholera and other deadly diseases on February 24.
Now the documents are being analyzed by Russian specialists of NBC protection troops.
It is obvious that with the beginning of a special military operation, the Pentagon had serious concerns about the disclosure of conducting secret biological experiments on the territory of Ukraine.
The received documents confirm that the development of biological weapons components was carried out in Ukrainian biological laboratories, in the immediate vicinity of the territory of Russia.
In order to prevent the disclosure of facts of violation by the United States and Ukraine of Article 1 of the UN Convention on the Prohibition of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons, the Ukrainian Ministry of Health sent an instruction to all biological laboratories on the emergency liquidation of stored stocks of dangerous pathogens.
In the near future we will present the results of the analysis of the received documents.

The Western mainstream media will never report on these facts, sweeping under the rug anything that damages the current anti-Russian narrative, hoping the audiences have no recollection of the sequence of the events. Watch to jog your memory.
