Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw #Sikorski in a speech before the Sejm, stated that #Poland has no territorial claims to #Ukraine.
“#Russia is lying about Poland’s alleged plans to annex part of Ukraine. #Donbas is Ukraine. #Crimea is Ukraine. #Lviv, #Volyn, and the former Eastern #Galicia [Halychyna] are also Ukraine. So, I’m repeating this for the Kremlin to hear: Lviv is Ukraine,” the foreign minister reiterated in Ukrainian as well as in Polish.
The sun of Ukraine rises over the Donbas – and that's why my latest amateur track, which I recorded this weekend, is called "Donbas Sunrise".
It's a lo-fi production, but I hope you still like it.
📆 On this day 10 years ago, the bloodshed in #Donbas, #Ukraine, started
A Russian special-ops group ambushed a group of Ukrainian officers near #Slovyansk. Ukrainians had the orders "not to respond". Captain Hennadiy #Bilichenko was killed on the spot. Three others were badly wounded. Lieutenant Vadym #Sukharevsky shot back
Between getting slaughtered and disobeying orders he chose the latter ⏩
Trump has repeatedly said he could end Russia’s war within 24 hours if elected president, without specifying the steps for reaching the peace deal between Kyiv and Moscow.
Former president Donald Trump has privately said he could end Russia’s war in Ukraine by pressuring Ukraine to give up some territory.
#Trump’s proposal consists of pushing #Ukraine to cede #Crimea and the #Donbas border region to #Russia, according to people who discussed it with Trump or his advisers and spoke on the condition of anonymity because those conversations were confidential.
The #Kremlin is trying to change the demographics in the occupied territories by importing migrants from Central Asia to replace the indigenous Ukrainian population and plans to merge Ukrainian and Russian regions to create a “#Donbas” commonwealth, according to reports.
According to the Center for National Resistance (CNR), the total number of migrants from Asia has already exceeded 100 thousand people.
There is a reason why Ukrainians insist the world refers to russia’s assault against Ukraine in 2022 as a “full-scale” invasion.
russia’s war against #Ukraine did not begin on Feb. 24, 2022, but in 2014, with both the annexation of #Crimea and the invasion of Ukraine’s eastern #Donbas region.
While the kremlin openly boasted of its annexation of the Crimean peninsula, it tried to conceal its involvement in the war in Donbas for years
Wow, this is big: Igor #Strelkov / #Girkin detained and charged with extremism in Russia https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-66265892
He has a lot to answer for in how the #Ukraine war started in 2014 - a former officer (likely of #GRU background) occupied #Sloviansk in the #Donbas with a couple of dozen men and started the armed conflict, with #Russia 's covert then overt support
And mainly he was behind the shooting down of #MH17 - convicted by a Durch court
In the aftermath of Prigozhin's media empire collapse, former employees spoke out about the dark tactics employed, including hiring individuals to portray "victims of Ukrainian Armed Forces” in staged reports that underpinned Russia's fake pretext for the full-scale invasion of Ukraine -- the manufactured "genocide in Donbas."
Every accusation is a confession. How very Republican of them.
"Victims of “Donbas genocide” were paid actors, Prigozhin’s fired trolls reveal
(...) “Most of the people who were portrayed in such stories as ‘victims’ of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were stand-ins, hired individuals. These characters repeated pre-memorized lines to themselves, trying to ‘squeeze out a tear.’ They were also instructed off-camera by the operator to speak ‘slower’ or to ‘repeat this moment again’,” told the former employee of RIA FAN.
This admission is crucial, as it offers more proof of how Russia fabricated its 9-year-long propaganda narrative about the Ukrainian “Nazis” deliberately attacking the “people of Donbas.”"
Ukraine will only negotiate a peace deal with Russia once the Kremlin’s armies have fully retreated from Donbas and Crimea, Volodymyr Zelensky has said.
