People, please ask Zelensky's army to stop killing people in Donbass! Some of us have friends and relatives there.. it's been absolutely heartbreaking!
Ukranian Azovstal "defender" being interviewed by a French news network says that "70% of Mariupol residents are pro Russia".. French news anchors in shock.
1/ As some of you know I'm hosting a 32yr old woman who arrived in Canada from Kiev area about 2 weeks ago.She is very pro Ukraine & faithfully follows Zelensky & his mouthpieces on social media.. Having said that, she shares with me some interesting info during our conversations
A must watch video from Ukraine in 1992.. it's eerie how accurate this man was 30 years ago when he predicted the likelihood of a civil war in Ukraine. Take a listen.
My Russian grandma in 1946.. She was a partisan during WW2. Two of her three brothers perished in the war, she survived and met my grandfather right after the war in Odessa. She had a very vibrant and productive life, died in 2008 at the age of 87.
Very interesting.. The British journalist was not getting the standard cookie-cutter responses she is used to getting when it comes to Ukraine - so the conversation got a little heated. 😂👍
Ukraine's previous President, Poroshenko, and his policy on Donbass: "We will have jobs—they will not. We will have pensions—they will not. [....] Our children will go to schools and kindergartens—theirs will hide in the basements (cellars)."
Ukro Nazis in Odessa in 2014 after burning 48 pro Russian demonstrators alive inside the Trade Union building. Nobody was prosecuted despite a ton of video evidence circulating online. Never forget...
2/ So.. she herself is pro Ukraine, her 31yr old brother is refusing to fight the Russians (although he has some military background) - he "doesn't want to kill Russians". He is currently "in hiding". Her 60yr old Dad refuses to speak Ukranian because Russian is his mother tongue
Please watch and then share this video. These Ukranian soldiers don't even want to fight or be there.. their commander is treating them like some cannon fodder and pushing them out of the building to go into the meat grinder battle outside. It's sickening.
Ukrainian command beat up their soldiers
On the video there's deputy platoon commander of Ukrainian 60th brigade,Sergeant Bondarenko Igor Gennadievich
The company commander set the platoon the task of dealing with the lack of people in positions,to find & punish those responsible
Ask yourself - why is this not being reported on BBC, CNN, FOX, etc? Why do they choose NOT to report what Ukranian army has been doing to the residential areas of Donetsk? At least 3 dead from the latest Ukro strike.
🇺🇦🇷🇺⚡️ Several victims after a Ukrainian strike against a shopping center in Donetsk
A shopping center in the Kaliniski district of the city of Donetsk was completely destroyed Monday morning by a Ukrainian strike.

3/ Her best friend (who moved to Kiev from Donetsk 8 yrs ago) is very pro Ukr but the girl's father stayed in Donetsk(DPR), is very pro Russia & wants Donbass to be part of Russia. He refuses to move. He's been telling his daughter for 8 yrs how Ukr army has been shelling Donbass
5/ After hearing this I said "Remember how Yanukovich picked an economic deal with Russia instead of the EU in late 2013? And he explained that Ukr could not function very well without the massive Russian subsidies on energy products. Now you see?" She was quiet, nothing to say
7/ In general, she said that almost Every family she knows is split in terms of their opinions. She said that before February many of them did not really care if their town/village is Russian Or Ukranian as long there is peace and prosperity. Now it's different, at least in Kiev.
1/ I just spent over 1 hour on the phone with a friend who was born and raised in Crimea (outside Simferopol).. She is 48 now.. Interesting conversation.
Turns out that her uncle was brutally killed by Bandera followers when he was 16 years old.
Haha.. Check this out.
The 1st capital of Kievan Rus used to be listed as Novgorod (a Russian city).. but now only Kiev is listed as the capital of Kievan Rus. 😂🤡
The reach of the UkroReich is unreal.. rewriting history now.
Listen to this report by
@ABC
.. Russia is so good at minimizing civilian casualties that the "the most massive missile attack on Ukraine" resulted in 3 civilian deaths (possibly 5).
In the meantime Israel kills 200+ Palestinian civilians in tiny Gaza PER DAY!
6/ She has a 23yr old cousin who married her school sweetheart last year. This husband volunteered to fight for Ukr & was killed in March in a battle. This 23 yr old girl has a Russian cousin who is fighting on the Russian side. When they were kids they were inseparable friends.
8/ If you guys have any questions for my visitor please post here and I'll ask her.
I myself have relatives in Odessa & Kherson but personally I do not communicate with them frequently. They are in their 60s, my Mom's cousins in Odessa/Kherson.
🇺🇦 Anastasia Mutsei, Ukrainian neo-Nazi wearing the Nazi symbol "Black Sun" and the emblem of the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Galician), of which Yaroslav Hunka was a member and which led to the resignation of Canada's House Speaker Rota
Children of war hiding in a cellar in Donbass, 2014, is the quintessential image of the region’s suffering that the western establishment would rather ignore. A conflict longer than WWII.
📷 Photojournalist Andy Rochelli who died under Ukrainian Army’s fire with his interpreter
Remember a video circulating a few days ago showing 7 Ukranian soldiers not wanting to continue to fight in Bakhmut because they were exhausted, etc? Well, Ukranian blogger Shariy located their families in Ukraine & found out that all 7 soldiers ended up dying in Bakhmut.
A Russian speaking Ukrainian is being refused service in Lviv for speaking Russian.She gets extremely mad & says that she knows"Russian speaking young guys who ended up without legs & arms fighting for Ukr & protecting people like you"..& that her own brother is in the military🤦♀️
4/ Her parents are divorced. Her mother moved in with her own mother to save on living expenses. Mother currently works full time as an accountant in Sumy region and makes around 8500 hryvnias per month. Estimated bill to heat the home in the winter is 5000 hryvnias per month 😱
1/ Supposedly there are so many intelligent people on Twitter yet so many fail to put their critical thinking hat on when forming their (mostly uneducated) opinion about the relationship between Ukraine and Russia. I'll explain in this thread.
One of the most bizarre claims is when Ukr Gov't says that Russia is a "colonizer" of Crimea.. 😂🤡
So Russia acquired Crimea as a result of Russia/Turkey war in the 1700s, built it, developed it, controlled it from the 1700s until 1991 - but somehow Ukraine is entitled to it?🤡
My dream is that one day Russian and American people are friends, visit each other's countries, do business together, treat each other as equals, respect each other's positions.
US government has done a lot of reputational damage to Russia over the past 30+ years..it's shameful.
Please watch this.. this conflict should never be called "unprovoked". This has been in the making for 8 long years.. thousands killed and injured in Donbass before 2022 by the Ukro nationalists sent there by the regime in Kiev.
@FreeUkraine91
@Marguerite00
@amnesty
These headlines are from 2014.. the inconvenient (for Ukraine) truth. Ukrainian nationalists abuses of people of Donbass (who are ethnic Russians or pro Russia Ukranians) is what ultimately lead to this special operation.
Please retweet this! Euronews channel (so not pro Russian media) is reporting that thousands of Ukranians are Voluntarily Returning from other parts of Ukraine to their homes in the "Russian occupied territories" as Euronews puts it. Voluntarily! Some wait for days to be let in!
Euronews: тысячи украинцев возвращаются на "оккупированную российскими войсками территорию Запорожья". Возвращаются не только для того, чтобы воссоединиться с семьями, но и в поисках работы.
Wow.. Incredible footage from July 2015 showing the residents of Avdiivka/Avdeevka saying that the Ukranian army are killing us and that 90% of Avdeevka residents want to separate from Ukraine and be a part of Donetsk People's Republic. Wow!
Прошу прощения(но не точно) у граждан каклов, сейчас ваша психика окончательно сдастся как и Авдеевка.
Таблеточка для памяти, как любит говорить Шарий.
The Ukranian guy who shot at and hit the Iranian drone literally said that after the hit "the drone changed trajectory".. what do you think it hit AFTER it changed trajectory? 🤦♀️It then hits random unintended civilian targets!

I lived in the USSR as a kid. 3 generations crapmed in a small apartment (adults Phds with "good" jobs), no fresh fruit/veggies from Oct to April, had to take crowded buses everywhere, bathing once a week, 2-3 outfits per person max- almost nothing to buy,no freedom of speech
Ukranian account is boasting how Ukranian army bombed the bridge in Kherson and "many Russians" are dead.. those are the ethnic Russian civilian residents of Kherson who were trying to evacuate the area.
@USChelseaXXfan
@peterpobjecky
Blatent lies. It erupted when Ukraine attacked and killed civilians. Even the British news reported it. Learn something FFS!
Someone asked me why I don't like Ukranians..
I like Russian Ukranians and normal Ukranians who don't hate Russia and who don't try to rewrite history and make up a bunch of fake stories. Since August 2022 I helped 3 people in their 30s who escaped UkroReich & settled in Canada
This is a must watch..
Total evil. She knew everything! She knew that most of Ukraine with its 1991 borders was actually Russia for centuries. She knew about Crimea, about the violent Neo Nazis in Ukraine.

@GeromanAT
4/ Show me a large European city where 48 people belonging to an ethnic minority (Russian in this case) are burned alive in a government building & police do Nothing.. just watch.. Then Nobody is prosecuted for the crime. This happened in Ukraine in 2014.
‘Officially, 48 people died, but I think it was significantly more.’ Igor Polovnev, a former resident of Odessa, who found himself in the House of Trade Unions on May 2, 2014, told what he saw with his own eyes.
In Russia women have 140-day PAID maternity leave (by the government)... Nothing like this in USA. Also, if you choose to stay home and look after your baby/toddler - the first 3 years of such parental leave count towards your pension calculation.
You can like me or hate me, agree with me or disagree - but here is one indisputable fact - US Gov't could have prevented the conflict in Ukraine but instead they chose to add more oil to the fire..they don't care if Ukr turns into another Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, etc.
Please read this & retweet.Just so that you understand what is Actually going on in Ukr.Someone "identified" some random woman in Izyum (which Ukro forces captured recently..Woman's photo & address were posted online. Ukro Twitter account with over 12k followers posted "Burn her"
⚡️English-language Wikipedia changes to Ukrainian transliteration of 'Odesa' from Russian 'Odessa.'
20 years after Odesa’s Wikipedia page was created, the online encyclopedia said it had changed the Russian transliteration of the city to be in line with the Ukrainian spelling.
Nazi units of the Ukrainian army are "cleaning up "the local population ,arresting and torturing civilians.Apparently the boy, whose hands they tied in their favorite way, posed a threat to the "territorial integrity of the criminal regime in Kiev
Daughter of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko in France at après-ski and other members of Ukraine's upper class. War is only for the rabble!
@morricemike
No, we don't need to do any "work".. nor do we "celebrate the trans community". It's like you live in some woke, weird world.. out of touch with what the majority of people want.
We need to return to a normal, healthy, traditional society.
The son of Ukranian prosecutor is enjoying a luxury stay in Monaco while ordinary Ukranians are expected to die in the trenches in Russian Donbass.
Also recall that American taxpayers pay his Dad's salary in the UkroReich and Zel wants another $60+ Billion this year from Biden
Another proof that what is happening in Ukraine is a civil war. I mean if half of your population are "traitors" and "Russian collaborators" - that means Ukraine ended up with the wrong borders in 1991 during the hasty dismantle of the USSR
Apparently dozens of people who are close to Zelensky were stealing $$ and/or humanitarian aid.. your American and Canadian tax $$. Buying luxury cars, going on luxury vacations, moving cash abroad. I've been warning for months!
I believe this video is from February 28, 2014.. look how Ukranian Poroshenko was greeted by the Crimeans. They are saying "Russia, Russia" as Poroshenko is being pushed/escorted by the crowd to his vehicle.
Poroshenko has mentioned at the
#UN
General Assembly about his visit to Crimea in February 2014.
Let’s remind

how the people of

This type of Ukro mentality is one of the big reasons why my relatives in Kherson (who were born there but are ethnic Russians whose parents were from Siberia) voted in the referendum to rejoin Russia.
In a candid interview Azov fighter (call name Chemist) said that 60% of Mariupol residents have always been pro Russian, 20% were pro peace & didn't care who is in charge (Moscow or Kiev) and only 20% were pro Ukraine. He also said that Donetsk & Lugansk are largely pro Russia.
Imagine if police in Mexico or Canada were confiscating cars of law abiding Americans during the Iraq war just because the car had US license plates.. Yes, that's how ordinary Russians are being treated in Europe. Appalling!
In Europe, everything is being done to ensure that Russians rally around Putin as much as possible. In Hamburg, a Russian woman had her car taken away and left her on the road with four show dogs.
According to the 47news portal, Irina, a resident of St. Petersburg,
@PowerUSAID
War time discount for the elite foreign investors courtesy of Zelensky's regime? 😉We know how it works. The rich will get richer while ordinary Ukranians will get shafted.
My relatives in Kherson have to evacuate to escape Zelensky's missiles and rockets. Will Ukranian army turn Kherson into 2nd Mariupol? 😪 Recall how Mariupol got destroyed because Azov battalion engaged in a fierce urban battle there.. Kherson and Melitopol didn't experience it.
Deputy Governor of Kherson oblast Stremousov: "The battle for Kherson is about to begin. Civilians are advised, if possible, to leave the area of the coming brutal fighting so as not to expose themselves to unnecessary risk."
So bizarre.. Imagine in 2003 an Iraqi soldier having a video phone call live on CNN with Russia's national security advisor and asking him what kind of ammunition and weapons Russia is sending to Iraq to kill American soldiers.
A front-line Ukrainian soldier asks President Biden's national security adviser what kind of ammunition is on the way. Jake Sullivan says the US is trying to ramp up production.
Where does Ukro army store their vehicles? Grain storage facilities!! Then when such a facility is targeted - Ukros state that Russia "destroys civilian infrastructure".
7/ In 2014 the post Maidan coup government in Kiev shut down the North Crimea canal which supplied over 80% of fresh water to the Crimean peninsula. It made farming, etc. virtually impossible. She said that the Crimeans would never forgive Ukr govt for that.

This morning I talked to my friend who lives in Antwerp, Belgium.. they are all stuck in their houses, they had to visit 5 stores to find flour and olive oil, streets are empty, 4000 euro fine for being caught breaking the rules of the quarantine.
So Whoopi, get lost
Remember - the biggest grifter is Zelensky. He is from a Russian Jewish family and made most of his money and built his acting/presenting career in Moscow. Even after Crimea rejoined Russia he was saying that Ukrainians and Russians are "one people".
Filming a falling rocket as seen from your kitchen window while you are drinking a cup of tea gets you an 8 year prison sentence in Zelensky's UkroReich.. Zel's regime wants to completely control the information space.. but please do tell me again what a "free" country it is 🤡🤪
The Security Service of
#Ukraine
declared the suspicion of four female bloggers who filmed the work of air defense in Kyiv during the Russian attack on May 16.
They face 8 years behind bars.

8/ She said that members of the Crimean Parliament communicated to Zelensky that Crimeans have no interest in rejoining Ukr. She also said that maximum 3% to 5% of people living in Crimea now support Ukraine. They are very vocal on social media & some partake in terror activities
@Tendar
Tendar, I have a simple question for you. When Ukranian army drops grenades on people in this video in Donetsk city and they die - should the children of the deceased be sent to Kiev to the killers of the kids' parents?
You will never see this in the western mainstream media:
Ukrainian quadcopter drone drops grenades on civilians in Donetsk city.
Kiev have now reached the stage where they don’t even bother hiding their war crimes.
They know that the West will continue to support them....
2/ When local Banderovtsi found out that the boy's father joined the Red Army to fight Nazis, they caught the boy, stuck needles under his nails, chopped off several fingers and then beat him to death with shovels. His mutilated body was found in a swamp near the village
Zelensky's regime is striking Yevpatoriya in Crimea with missiles.. here you see Russian air defense system at work.The saddest part is that we gathered money to send the kids from the war zone in Donbass to Yevpatoriya to rest & have some fun..they can't escape Zel's shelling 🤬
@KShoshiashvili
Interesting spin.. Do you think that over 50% of Americans who don't like Biden should go to Washington, DC and start a violent protest destroying property and threatening elected government in front of the White House? Do you think the police in US would allow that? 🤡🤡
6/ After Crimea rejoined Russia everything improved. Pensions went up substantially, incomes went up, roads were repaired & new ones built, new businesses opened up, some historical buildings were restored, new resorts opened up, etc.
