Putin Recognizes Donbass Republics, Sends Russian Military to 'Denazify' Ukraine

More details about biolabs:

The United States’ funding of biological laboratories in Ukraine exceeds $200 million, as follows from materials the Russian Defense Ministry made public on Monday. In particular, it disclosed information about the infrastructure of US-funded laboratories on the Ukrainian territory. "The amount of financing exceeds $200 million," the Defense Ministry said. Earlier, the chief of Russia’s radiation, chemical and biological protection force, Igor Kirillov, said that in Ukraine there emerged a network of more than 30 biological laboratories at the request of the US Department of Defense’ Threat Reduction Agency. On February 24, Kirillov said, all of the laboratories received instructions from the Ukrainian Health Ministry to dispose of all biological agents they had at the moment. He stressed that the instructions implied the collections’ total and irreversible elimination, because, apparently, everything necessary for going ahead with the military-biological program had already been taken out of Ukraine.

And found this video about a summer camp for children (2017) :shock:

In Ukraine, the far-right Azov militia is fighting on the frontline – and running a summer camp for children. The Guardian visited the camp and followed 16-year-old Anton through his experiences. Is Azov really a modern Hitler Youth organisation, or is it trying to prepare young Ukrainians for the tough reality that awaits them?

I'm not sure if I need to write this either. However, I would suggest that you continue your list yourself, so as to be honest with yourself. For example, from what is on the surface: Texas, Catalonia, Scotland, Kosovo. I'm afraid to anticipate your answer- "this is different" -you don't have to answer like that. This has been said many times through the mouth of Psaki

Я тоже не уверен нужно ли это писать. Однако ваш список я бы предложил вам самому продолжить, так чтоб быть честным с самим собой. Например, из того что на поверхности: Техас, Каталония, Шотландия, Косово. Я боюсь предвосхитить ваш ответ- "это другое"- мне не надо так отвечать. Это много раз говорилось устами Псаки

Well Kosovo is inhabited by Albanians like 95% I think, so I support their independence and they are pretty much independent state, although not recognized by Russia and China. Similarly I express support for Catalonia, Scotland or Texas to do what they want in terms of their independence if they choose so. I support Donbass as well but also rights and independences of the peoples in Russian federation if they want that.

US bans Russian energy imports​

A senator earlier explained that it’s the ‘cost of standing up for freedom’ as oil and gas prices threaten to hike further


US President Joe Biden has announced a ban on Russian oil and gas imports in response to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine on Tuesday, a move that threatens to send global gas and oil prices even higher than the record-setting costs the commodities are already fetching.
The president called on the nation to use the events as an opportunity to transition to renewable energy, insisting that if “no one has to worry about the price at the gas pump in the future, tyrants like Putin won’t be able to use fossil fuels as weapons against other nations.”
Biden warned oil and gas companies against jacking up prices unnecessarily, declaring that while “Putin’s war against Ukraine is causing gas prices to rise…it’s no excuse to exercise excessive price increases or padding profits or any kind of effort to exploit the situation or American consumers.”
“Russia’s aggression is costing us all, and it’s no time for profiteering or price-gouging,” Biden said, hailing the blanket ban on all imports of Russian oil and gas as “another powerful blow to Putin’s war machine.”
“This is a step we are taking to further inflict pain on Putin,” the president boasted, even while acknowledging “there will be costs as well in the US.”

Americans will have to pay for what Senator Chris Coons (D-Delaware) called “the cost of standing up for freedom” in the coming weeks as the sanctions are expected to send energy prices soaring worldwide.

Ahead of Biden’s announcement, the Democratic senator told CNN that the price of oil could very well double to $300 per barrel, with gas prices more than tripling to $10-$14 per gallon.

The repercussions from the price shock will be felt worldwide, he continued, as costs continue to surge. Acknowledging that “the strength of our sanctions, of the costs we’re imposing on Putin…are more successful and more sustainable when they’re coordinated,” he praised the administration for working together with Europe on the looming import ban instead of pushing ahead unilaterally.

“We have to realize that it’s a global integrated market, it is tough to just turn on the taps and increase production quickly - it’s not like phoning up Amazon,” he explained, cautioning “we are going to see increased gas prices here in the US, in Europe they will see dramatic increases in prices, that’s the cost of standing up for freedom and of standing alongside the Ukrainian people. We need to see the cost and benefit here.”

The senator also admitted the White House has been in negotiations with its once-sworn enemies in Venezuela and Iran, two major oil producers Washington is suddenly seeing in a new light for their potential to bail out countries soon to be running on empty in the absence of Russian energy supplies, but argued the focus should be on Canada first. However, he acknowledged Putin “had Western Europe over a barrel” - literally and figuratively - regarding the highly sought-after commodities.

Russia is the second-largest oil exporter in the world, while the US is the largest oil consumer. While Moscow supplies only about 7% of US oil, Europe is much more heavily reliant on the nation for its energy supplies.

Fresh polls claim that Americans are willing to pay more at the pump in order to stick it to Putin. A Quinnipiac survey conducted over the weekend, which found 71% of Americans supported a ban on Russian oil even if it led to higher gas prices. More than half of respondents (56%) even suggested the US hadn’t gone far enough with its sanctions and called for tougher moves.

I really think they think they'll get away with it somehow because it's pretty stupid any way you look at it, the only thing I can think of at the moment is that they're really taking advantage of this crisis to push their grand reset agendas...although I don't see how it couldn't be otherwise.

On March 8, Ukrainian civilians did not use the humanitarian corridors from the cities of Volnovakha and Mariupol, nationalists continued to prevent them from leaving the city for the fourth day in a row, representative of the People’s Militia of the DPR Eduard Basurin confirmed.
Ukrainian forces continue to persuade civilians that the corridors were not secured. The video proved that the shelling was heard from the nearby areas, too close so that it could be carried out by Russian forces but likely by nationalists who were in control of the residential areas.

As a result, in the afternoon the joint forces of Russia and the DPR continued strengthening their positions in and around the city of Mariupol.

The fighting in Mariupol continues. Assault units of the People’s Militia of the DPR are operating in the area of Pobedy Avenue on the left bank of the Kalmius river, where the main forces of the Ukrainian nationalist battalions were deployed.

The Russian forces have advanced from the northern and north-eastern directions.
The troops are advancing with the close air support of the Russian Aero Space Forces which are now operating both over Mariupol and Volnovakha.

Putin did state clearly that russia has no intent to cut itself off the rest of the internet but prepares for "the west" cutting them off. (sorry, dont have the source handy). News stating russia would cut-off itself had been dis-information.

On march 4th the major internet service and IP transit provider "Cogent" announced that it will "cut off" internet services to russia. Which leaves russia with less bandwith but still full connectivity.

If you believe the maps of backbone providers in Russia, then this Cogent has little in common with Russia:
here is a map that can be enlarged Магистральные сети связи в России, 2021

Almost all Russian Internet traffic goes through St. Petersburg/Leningrad region to Finland (Kotka, Helsinki) and further to Sweden (Stockholm) and Germany.
In addition, in 2021, Rostelecom laid the St. Petersburg-Kalingrad highway along the bottom of the Baltic Sea, which is wholly owned by Russia and has links with Western Europe.

Thus, this news is like a blank shot. Wikipedia says that Cogent had a conflict even with Google and other providers. These guys love bad PR.

Are you serious about this? I doubt something. For there is this.

Further. From your point of view, Russia should be divided into 300 pieces, because about as many nationalities live in our country and, according to the practice of Kosovo, build a Camp Bondsteel in each piece to ensure the free expression of the will of the people. This is the radiant dream of those who drag democracy around the world. Thanks, we're just trying to avoid that.

Operation on denazification of Ukraine: operational summary on March 8 (updated)
08.03.2022 20:02

20:02 Russian armored train rescues foreigners in the Kherson region, the Zvezda TV channel reports. Fighters on the train provided evacuation of 248 foreigners, including 40 Ukrainians, from the Kherson region to the Crimea. They organized a safe exit for citizens of Turkey, Egypt, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Sweden, Italy, Brazil, India and Morocco. Next, the issue of the soonest delivery of foreigners to their homeland will be resolved.

19:46 In order to discredit the Armed Forces of Russia, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine together with national battalions, presumably from the districts of Orlovka and Olishevka, have just shelled the village of Lukoshovka in the Chernihiv region, using multiple rocket launchers.

19:30 The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue to pull together troops for a complete blockade of Nikolaev. Local residents of the village of Kandybino captured a column of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation heading to block the city from the north, the Telegram channel "Reports of the militia of Novorossiya" writes. At the same time, fighting resumed in the Ship district of Nikolaev and the locality of Balabanovka: the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are advancing from Pribugsky and Ukrainka. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have created powerful fortified areas to the north (Kashperovo-Nikolaevka) and south (Galitsinovo) from the capital of the region.

19:20 In Snigirevka to the east of Nikolaev, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have been entrenched for several days now. A full understanding has been reached with the local administration. Video.

18:45 The defense forces in Ukraine are actively arming themselves with anti-tank grenade launchers – this is a strategy of guerrilla warfare, with a large number of civilian casualties, and the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine knows this very well. Territorial defense detachments continue to actively receive means of destruction of armored vehicles - NLAW grenade launchers, which are imported to Ukraine by NATO countries. Simultaneously with increasing their combat capability, the "defenders of the Square" shoot propaganda videos to create a beautiful picture of their combat power. But in reality, things are far from the case: members of the theroborona, who have turned into district gangs, demonstrate the received weapons not to the Russian army, but to civilians. It is to them that they block the way to evacuation through humanitarian corridors provided by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

18:15 Zelensky's party proposed replacing the Budapest Memorandum with guarantees from the United States, Turkey and Ukraine's neighboring states.

17:56 A typical example of the tactics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, when the Ukrainian military take refuge in civilian buildings and shoot at the soldiers of the Russian army from there, is the battle at the Mykolaiv International Airport. The footage, which recently appeared on the Web, shows how a few days ago the APU fired from the roof of the airport terminal. Deliberately taking positions in civilian buildings, Ukrainian soldiers provoke damage and destruction, and then expose Russia as the culprit of the damage. Video.

17:34 Peace and order in Melitopol. A local resident told about the real situation in the liberated city. People continue to go about their business, and the Russian military patrol the streets of the city. Video.

17:22 Official representatives of the Kiev authorities and mayors of cities have received instructions to prevent any attempt to evacuate to the Russian Federation, said the head of the National Center for Defense Management of the Russian Federation, Colonel-General Mikhail Mizintsev.

17:10 Fighters of territorial defense battalions continue to hold hostage in Ukraine as a "human shield" more than 4.5 million civilians, as well as about 2 thousand foreigners who have expressed a desire to evacuate to safe places now, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation said.

16:52 The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation: The Ukrainian authorities do not allow people to be evacuated from most cities: Kiev has confirmed only 1 route out of 10 for people to leave Ukrainian cities from Sumy through Poltava to the border with Poland. 723 people were evacuated along the Sumy-Poltava route, including 576 citizens of India, 115 - China, 20 - Jordan, 12 - Tunisia. The Kiev authorities continue to categorically reject all the main evacuation routes from Kiev, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv and Mariupol to Russia.

16:40 Movement of Russian armored vehicles in the settlement of Bogdanovka, 23 kilometers from Kiev. Video.

16:00 The State Emergency Service of Ukraine announced the beginning of the evacuation of residents of the city of Irpen in the Kiev region.

15:41 Just shot down the helicopters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Nizhyn, the Telegram channel "Military commanders of the Russian Spring" reports. Two turntables were shot down by fighters while trying to approach our troops at the contact line in the Chernihiv region. Two surviving crew members were taken from the helicopter crash site. We are waiting for details.

15:20 There is a "green corridor" from Sumy, the situation on the highway is calm, columns are being formed for further evacuation, about 1,000 foreign students were evacuated in the first wave, the head of the regional military administration said.

15:03 The Russian military is installing pontoon crossings at the site of the bridges blown up by Bandera.

14:23 In Kharkiv briefly. The fighting continues, at night you can periodically observe artillery strikes, MLRS and aviation. The enemy's DRGs are being cleaned up, thanks to this work, today it was possible to conduct a humanitarian convoy to Liptsy. The population is in distress and every second asks when the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will finally take Kharkiv. People have noticeably cheered up after seeing the Russian humanitarian columns, now at least in this area, the people will have the most necessary things.

14:21 Today Transcarpathian border guards at the checkpoint "Dyakovo" detained 12 men of military age who wanted to leave for Romania. The violators were immediately handed summonses on the spot and sent to the mobilization units. When the men got out of the car, they were handed tulips. Video.

13:46 Terrorists from groups based in northern Syria were transferred to Ukraine via Turkey to participate in hostilities on the side of Kiev, SANA reports. It is known that about 450 militants came from the provinces of Idlib and Aleppo and are from the Jabhat Al-Nusra terrorist group associated with Al-Qaeda (banned in the Russian Federation).

13:44 Ukrainian special services continue to arrange provocations on the Web, attempting to disinform the local population. In the video, a certain pro-Ukrainian activist Alexander Tarasov talks about how he worked for the SBU, collected information about socio-political processes in the city and in the region, as well as about his supervisor from the special services. At the same time, the facts voiced by him do not fit together in any way and resemble not an interrogation, but a typical "smoke screen" in order to confuse the listener.

13:30 The German Prosecutor General has launched an investigation into alleged war crimes in Ukraine, Spiegel reports, citing its sources.

12:55 Russian servicemen conducted a humanitarian action to assist the population in one of the points in the Chernihiv region. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation left about 100 rolls of fresh bread to the residents of the village in which the power supply was interrupted and the store stopped working, which was distributed to their homes. Video.

12:40 The SBU and the Azov militants are preparing a provocation with possible radioactive contamination of the area in the Kharkiv region. They are considering the option of blowing up a nuclear reactor at the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology and blaming the Russian army for this, the Kremlin Laundress Telegram channel writes.

12:02 During the special operation, the ex-commander of the 16th battalion "Poltava" of the 58th Motorized Infantry Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lieutenant Colonel Oleg Gromadsky, was killed, he was liquidated in Kharkiv, Anna-News reports.

12:00 Civilians of Ukraine asked the ex-president of the country Petro Poroshenko not to interfere with the evacuation and "work on the political front." Video.

11:55 35 buses left for Sumy from Poltava to evacuate people. 20 tons of humanitarian aid and medicines were also sent there, according to the authorities of the Poltava region. Recall that on the second day, the Ukrainian authorities still agreed to the proposal of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation to provide a humanitarian corridor for civilians of the Sumy region.

11:50 Representatives of Russia occupied the premises of a television and radio station, the leadership of which refused to conduct a dialogue and, violating journalistic ethics, misinformed the local population about the true state of affairs in the Berdyansk district. The forces of the Russian Federation, through the company's TV and radio channel, made an appeal to the residents of the city and called on the local population to join the ranks of the People's Militia to provide joint counteraction with the Rosgvardiya to violators of public order, looters and saboteurs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the SBU who had settled on the outskirts of the city.

11:13 The governor of Sumy Regional State Administration Dmitry Zhivitsky announced his plans to "shoot at humanitarian convoys from Russia." It is noteworthy that the adviser to the head of the OP of Ukraine, Mikhail Podolyak, confirmed the agreement with the Russian Federation on the withdrawal of civilians from the Sumy region and the launch of Russian humanitarian convoys.

11:06 Residents of Chernihiv said that the defense forces and looters terrorize the city with impunity, writes the Telegram channel "Military officers of the Russian Spring". Defense groups and national formations stop almost every passing car, Ukronazists smash up shops, apartments, seize cars and any property "for the needs of the army." Civilians cannot oppose them, fearing to face unprecedented brutality. The population is not even able to leave the city, as the Banderites do not allow evacuation along humanitarian corridors, fearing to lose their "human shield" of civilians.

10:52 Zelensky said that he was "not ready to surrender," but did not rule out the possibility of discussing with Russia about the future of Crimea and Donbass.

10:26 The representative of the People's Republic of China at a meeting of the UN Security Council called on the United States and Europe to stop supplying weapons to Ukraine, as this greatly complicates the situation. Chinese diplomats called on Washington, NATO and their allies to conduct an equal dialogue with Russia, and also noted the ineffectiveness of sanctions against Moscow.

10:16 An agreement has been reached on observing the silence regime on the route of the humanitarian corridor Sumy-Poltava from 10:00 Moscow time, said Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Irina Vereshchuk.

10:12 In Borodyanka, a monument to the heroes of the ATO was denazified. The local authorities managed to put it next to the monument to the memory of the internationalist soldiers.

10:07 From 10 am today, Russia announces a "regime of silence" for the exit of civilians from Kiev, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Mariupol.

10:02 Yanukovych turned to Zelensky. The ex-president of Ukraine said that the current head of the country, Vladimir Zelensky, "is personally obliged to stop the bloodshed at any cost and reach a peace agreement."

Вы это серьезно? Я вот чего то сомневаюсь. Ибо есть вот это.
Дальше. С вашей точки зрения Россию надо поделить на 300 кусочков, потому что примерно столько национальностей проживает в нашей стране и по практике Косово в каждом кусочке построить по Бонд-стилу, для обеспечения свободного волеизъявления народонасления. Это лучезарная мечта тех кто тащит демократию по всему миру. Спасибо, мы как раз пытаемся этого избежать.
