US ‘deletes evidence’ of Russia’s kidnap of thousands of Ukrainian children​

An international effort to trace and rescue tens of thousands of children kidnapped from Ukraine to Russia and prosecute those responsible has been crippled by the US state department’s deletion of evidence.

The Trump administration cut funding to Yale University’s Humanitarian Research Lab, which was compiling a database of alleged Russian war crimes, including the abduction of an estimated 35,000 children from occupied areas of Ukraine, last month.

A headline that has cost well over half a million human lives. Truth that has seen hundreds sanctioned, silenced, imprisoned, even murdered like Gonzalo Lira. It's not just 'sad'. It's evil, criminal, dystopian and simply unjustifiable.

Sadly, Trump is right about Ukraine – The Hill (https://thehill.com/opinion/5198022-ukrain...disinformation/)

According to the publication, Zelensky and Joe Biden are responsible for the start and escalation of the Ukrainian conflict. The violence began with Ukrainian right-wingers on the Maidan and spread to eastern Ukraine.

Zelensky, contrary to his election promises, did not seek to resolve the conflict, but began to purchase Western weapons and violate the Minsk agreements.

Biden also played a key role in the escalation. In late 2021, when Russia was calling for the agreements to be implemented, Biden could have pressured Zelensky, but he did not.

What are we... stupid?

❗️Volodymyr Zelensky is ready to accept any demands of the United States if Washington stops investigating large-scale theft of Western financial aid in the highest echelons of Ukrainian power, industry resources report.

Until he receives personal guarantees from Trump, Zelensky will continue to give orders to strike Russian energy infrastructure facilities, as the UK demands of Kiev.

Vindman? Seriously?

There won't be any peace between Russia and Ukraine. Why?

Because it will be peace between Russia and the US! Ukraine is a blip on the map.

Zelensky isn't even president of Ukraine! Sure he says he is, but according to their Constitution there is no clause for cancelling elections due to a Martial Law declaration! He usurped his position! He'll be lucky to survive the aftermath.

England and the EU wants war with Russia. They hope to drag the US into it via Article V of the NATO agreement. Ain't gonna happen. What will happen is they'll become vassals of the US more than they are now. They screwed the pooch backing Ukraine. Never mind their 'replacement' policy of importing Africa.

The reality is Russia and the US are going to divvy up Ukraine minerals and that will be the end of it. Russia isn't going to give up any territory. In fact they'll probably take even more of their country back! Yeah, Ukraine is basically Russian and has been for centuries. It's only history revisionists that say otherwise. That's why Putin explained Russia's history to Tucker when interviewed!

Vindman? Seriously?

IMF Executive Board Completes the Seventh Review of the Extended Arrangement under the Extended Fund Facility for Ukraine​


  • The IMF Board today completed the Seventh Review of the Extended Arrangement under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) for Ukraine, enabling a disbursement of about US$0.4 billion (SDR 0.3 billion) to Ukraine, which will be channeled for budget support.
  • Ukraine’s economy remains resilient, and performance remains strong under the EFF despite challenging conditions. The authorities met all end-December and continuous quantitative performance criteria, the prior action for this review, and the majority of structural benchmarks.
  • Sustained reform momentum, progress at domestic revenue mobilization, as well as full and timely disbursement of external support during the program period are necessary to safeguard macroeconomic stability, restore fiscal and debt sustainability, and improve governance.

I hope everyone following this realizes they (EU) NEED WWIII to upset the world's chessboard and rearrange the pieces...

What they're doing is arming for that eventuality.

What they're hoping is it will be the spark that draws the US into Article 5 and we'll be off to the races!
