A Swiss journalist: how are you guys not getting tired of the war in Ukraine? We are tired here in the West already.

Zelenskyy: what exactly are people in the West tired of?

Journalist: life is expensive, and this war has no winner.

Zelenskyy: We can’t get tired, we have to survive.

……….

Italian Prime Minister Meloni DID NOT say that Russia will be forced to accept the peace terms if it doesn’t like them.

There was an error in translation that was spread across all social media.

The part in question is “If Ukraine had not been able to count on our support and therefore would have been forced to surrender, today we would not be here to discuss the minimum conditions for a negotiation”.

I’m disappointed to see how quickly this happened. Please always check the sources.

Iraq and Jordan have disappeared from the list of countries supporting the joint Peace Summit communiqué

The Swiss government has published a list of 78 countries attending the Global Peace Summit that have endorsed the communiqué. It was previously known that 80 countries had signed the document, but Iraq and Jordan withdrew their signatures.

The communiqué is currently open for signatures from other countries that did not attend the conference.

Putin has shown what he is really interested in: a classic imperialist land grab

G7 leaders did not discuss Putin’s demands for ‘peace’ in Ukraine, they are not serious. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said this in an interview with ZDF.

The Chancellor is sure that Putin’s statements were only intended to distract attention from the Global Peace Summit in Switzerland, which began today, 15 June.

Russia, which was not invited to the summit, tried to disrupt it in every possible way. The media reported that it had threatened some countries.

Believe me or not, but it is the same person. Before and after Russian captivity. And there are many of them. You won’t find anything similar with Russians soldiers that were kept in Ukraine. They may tell tales of course, but you may watch the videos of exchanges. Caprive Russians always look healthy while most of Ukrainians look like skeletons covered by skin. Ukraine allows UN inspectors to see how Russian POWs are treated, while in Russia no one will ever let them in.

This is their tradition. In Europe, even in Middle Ages there were codes of war that protected prisoners of war. Not that they were always followed but mostly they were respected, and they gradually evolved into Geneva conventions. But Russia never respected them. When WW2 was close to the end, Germans preferred to surrender to Americans and British, not to the Soviets, guess why.

They have not changed…

HOW RUSSIA 🇷🇺ARMS AND FINANCES INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM

WITH WEST AFRICA GUINEA-BISSAU

PUTIN & UMARO SISSOCO EMBALO
FSB & DRUG TRAFFICKING

If you were already convinced that post-Bolshevik Russia has been responsible for world chaos since 1917, you have not seen anything yet.
The following information is partly extracted from cooperation and joint investigation reports of the DEA and several European anti-crime agencies within the framework of “Operation Circle”, an international investigation relating to a large trafficking in arms and cocaine. This traffic, organized in the form of “cocaine for armament” exchange is sponsored by the terrorist regime of Vladimir Putin for 20 years and benefits several well -known terrorist groups, with the essential complicity of the pro-russian Bissau-Guinean Dictator Umaro Sissoco Embaló.
“Operation Circle” is still in progress.

  • Guinea Bissau was once one of the African countries belonging to the Soviet era of influence.
    -20 years ago the FSB puts Embaló in contact with one of the terrorist movements which it sponsors in South America, the FARC of Colombia, a Marxist-Leninist organization funded thanks to the kidnappings against ransom (ex: Ingrid Betancourt, Franco-Colombian politician hostage of the FARC between 2002 and 2008), the production of cocaine and drug trafficking.
  • During the 2000s, Embaló participated in the establishment of a vast traffic “weapons against cocaine” for the benefit of Colombia FARC.
  • FARCs need weapons, and colossal quantities of second-hand armaments are available on shelves in ex-USSR. And Kazakhstan became the main weapons supplier of the FARC.
  • President Embaló and Guinea Bissau play in this traffic an accessory but essential role in terms of logistics: the Bissau customs services and a corrupt army faction provide all official transportation documents for “goods”. The cocaine in one direction, from Colombia and the ports of Venezuela, the armament of Kazakhstan in the other direction, are be transported by boat in apparent legality under the Bissau pavilion of convenience.
  • Other cargoes of cocaine and armaments are transported by flights of the russian national energy company Gazprom which connects Bissau, South America and Central Asia
  • The formidable archipelago of Guinea-Bissau which has 84 islands, uncontrollable to this day, is the ideal logistics hub of storage and transit for this traffic of “cocaine against armament”.
    Traffickers need to guarantee the transport and safety of goods to the territory markets of the European Union through the Sahel, Senegal and North Africa: Bissau Dictator can count on his links with the terrorist group Al-Mourabitoune-Al-Qaeda for jihad in West Africa to ensure the transport of cocaine to Europe in complete safety through the Sahel and North Africa. Thanks to this agreement with dictator Embaló, the jihadists are funded by the transport of Cocaine and are supplied with armaments from Kazakhstan.

My super power is being Ukrainian | NATO Youth Summit Challenge Winner 2024

The 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 once again.

Today is the Day of Mariupol’s Liberation from 𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬 in 2014. Since then, every year on June 13th, the city celebrated this day… until 2022.

The photo shows June 13, 2021, when thousands of Mariupol residents took to the streets with flags and in traditional Ukrainian attire to meet each other and once again demonstrate that Mariupol is Ukraine.

🚩 In 2014, 𝐬𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚 occupied Mariupol. Thankfully, the 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐙𝐎𝐕 𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 liberated the city.

Unfortunately, in 2022, Mariupol was occupied again by russia. This time, the destruction was immense, with 𝟗𝟎% 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝟏𝟎𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 (not confirmed by UN but stated by Mariupol citizens).

It is a stark example of the consequences of appeasing dictatorships.

🇺🇦 Mariupol was, and remains, a part of Ukraine.
