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

Let's see what today brings us. I hope that we have prepared for the possible.

Defense Ministry: Ukraine, with the participation of the United States, is preparing a "minor accident" at the NPP (+PHOTO)
08/18/2022 - 12:01

The Russian Defense Ministry reported details about the provocation being prepared by Kiev at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

During the briefing, the head of the radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, recalled that, starting from July 18, 2022, the station is being systematically shelled by the armed forces of Ukraine from multiple rocket launchers, barrel artillery and using unmanned aerial vehicles.

"As of August 18, 2022, 12 attacks were carried out, during which more than 50 artillery shell explosions and 5 kamikaze drones were recorded on the territory of the NPP and the city of Energodar.

The Russian Defense Ministry conducted an investigation and found that the strikes were carried out from the direction of the settlements of Manganese and Nikopol.

As a result of the shelling, the auxiliary support systems of the station were damaged, as well as the life support facilities of the city of Energodar.

According to the Ministry of Defense, the Ukrainian side, together with their curators from the United States, is trying to play the card, causing, in their opinion, a minor accident at the nuclear power plant and thereby disrupting the normal and safe operation of the nuclear power plant, blaming Russia for this.

The Ukrainian side has repeatedly stated that the strikes on the station are carried out by the Armed Forces of Russia, and Russian heavy weapons are placed on the territory of the NPP, from which shelling is carried out on the objects of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

We are ready to present to the IAEA real pictures with very high resolution, the sample is placed on a slide, which shows that we do not place weapons, especially heavy ones, on the territory of this station. The Russian Defense Minister said this to UN Secretary-General Guterres.

We know that in the presence of a large number of military and commercial foreign satellites, the same information can be presented to the world community by the American side.

At the same time, the United States suppresses objective data on the shelling and the situation at the nuclear power plant, thereby encouraging the impunity of the Kiev regime and contributing to the possible development of a nuclear catastrophe in Europe.

I would like to note that it is no coincidence that the conclusions of specialists of the American Agency for Arms Control and Disarmament (Washington, DC) and a number of other similar institutions of Western countries, and not the IAEA, which has the right to such conclusions, are widely quoted in the media that the occurrence of a large-scale disaster at the NPP seems unlikely.

In their opinion, the thickness of the concrete shelters of its nuclear reactors is 10 meters, in addition, the station was designed and built taking into account the need to overcome the consequences of such incidents as the fall of a civilian aircraft.

At the same time, it is not excluded that a direct hit of large—caliber artillery shells into the dry storage of spent nuclear fuel will lead to radioactive contamination of the area within a radius of up to 20 km, and an emergency situation at a nuclear reactor is up to 30 km maximum.

At the same time, it is emphasized that the risks of radiation spreading on the territory of European countries are assessed as minimal.

Thus, according to American experts, the consequences of the nuclear incident at the Zaporozhye NPP will be limited and will not affect the territory of European countries.

At the same time, I would like to remind the UN Secretariat and the entire world community that the principal cause of the accidents at the Chernobyl plant and the Fukushima nuclear power plant, despite the fact that in the first case there were experiments with a nuclear reactor, and in the second case — an earthquake and tsunami, is the failure of supply systems, disruption of energy supply, partial and complete de-energization of cooling systems, which led to overheating of nuclear fuel and destruction of the reactor.

As a result of the Chernobyl disaster, the territory of more than 20 European countries was contaminated with radioactive isotopes. About 4 thousand people died from direct exposure to radiation, tens of thousands of cases of genetic deformities in newborns and hundreds of thousands of oncological diseases were recorded. Not counting the consequences of forced evacuation, up to 100 thousand people and more than 5.5 million people received an increased dose of radiation.

At the Fukushima nuclear power plant, only at first glance it may seem that the consequences are insignificant. Up to 500 thousand people were subjected to gradual forced evacuation, and descendants will feel the consequences of dumping radioactive water into the ocean.

There is a feeling that this has been forgotten.

According to our experts, due to the actions of the APU, a similar situation may arise at the Zaporozhye NPP.

So, in case of failure of backup diesel generators and mobile pumps, in case of an emergency, the core will overheat and, as a result, the destruction of reactor installations at the largest nuclear power plant in Europe with the release of radioactive substances into the atmosphere and their spreading for hundreds of kilometers.

Such an emergency situation will cause mass migration of the population and will have more catastrophic consequences than the impending gas energy crisis in Europe, which is confirmed by the forecast of a number of European specialized organizations.

In addition, according to available information, as part of a trip to Ukraine from August 17 to 19, 2022, UN Secretary-General Guterres plans to visit the city of Odessa. By this date, the Armed Forces of Ukraine intend to stage a provocation of a man-made disaster at the Zaporozhye NPP, which consists in the leakage of radiation, destruction of the integrity of the nuclear waste storage and the withdrawal of the NPP reactor into a state of abnormal operation.

All this, according to their plan, should be a consequence of the military actions of the Russian Armed Forces on the territory of the nuclear power plant, the incompetence of Russian specialists involved in the operation of this nuclear facility.

In order to stage the AFU, it is planned for Guterres' visit to the formations, military units and units stationed in the Zaporizhia region of Ukraine, which are part of the united group of forces “Dnepr”, to fully deploy radiation monitoring posts, provide 100% of the military personnel with means of chemical and radiation protection, conduct training on chemical and radiation protection and other security measures.

In particular, the units of the 44th separate Artillery Brigade were ordered to be ready to act in conditions of radiation contamination of the area by August 19. In the same place, in the area of the Zaporozhye NPP, units of the 704th separate regiment of the RCB protection of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are being transferred.

Artillery strikes on the NPP are planned from the city quarters of the city of Nikopol.

This “performance” will be accompanied by alerts to the population about the increase in radiation background and other “special effects". The staging is carried out in the interests of influencing the UN Secretary General and the international community to cover up decisions beneficial to Kiev.

The ultimate goal of the provocation is the creation of an exclusion zone of up to 30 km, the introduction of international forces and foreign observers into the territory of the NPP, as well as the accusation of the Russian Armed Forces of nuclear terrorism.

As a conclusion from the above, we draw your attention to the fact that with the continuation of the negative development of the situation related to the shelling of the nuclear power plant by Ukraine, the issue of withdrawing 5 and 6 power units to the "cold reserve" may be considered, which will lead to the shutdown of the Zaporozhye NPP," Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov summed up.

The authorities of the Zaporozhye region are preparing to evacuate local residents
18.08.2022 - 11:41

The Civil-Military Administration (CAA) of the Zaporozhye region has developed an evacuation plan for local residents in case of an emergency situation at the Zaporozhye NPP.

This was announced by the head of the Zaporozhye Regional State Administration Yevgeny Balitsky on the air of the TV channel "Russia-24".

Evacuation may be required in the event of an accident at the NPP as a result of a possible attack by the APU.

Balitsky also said that regular shelling by Ukrainian militants of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant poses a threat to the cooling system of the Zaporozhye NPP.

"From the means that Ukraine has, barrel and mortar guns, ... damage to the cooling system is possible. This is the system that ensures the operation of the NPP," he said, answering the question whether the shelling of the hydroelectric power plant threatens the cooling system of the Zaporozhye NPP.

Terrible finds. How many have already been found, how many have yet to be found, and someone will never be found.

In May, after our troops took the village of Dolgen'koye, I wrote that the body of a murdered and raped woman was found at the positions of the AFU. Now there is another terrible find in the forests of the Izyum Front. Our guys found a burial site near the former positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in which there are partially skeletonized remains of several women, apparently local civilians.

Like in a fairy tale-the further, the scarier

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation: the national battalion "Kraken" defiantly shot 100 fighters of the 58th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Representatives of the Ukrainian nationalist formation "Kraken" demonstratively shot 100 soldiers from the units of the 58th Motorized Infantry Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine defeated near Kharkov.

The Ukrainian military were forced to retreat from the settlement of Udy in the Kharkiv region under the pressure of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. To prevent panic and intimidate the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Kraken nationalists subjected 100 Ukrainian servicemen who escaped from their positions under the blows of Russian troops to extrajudicial execution, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported.

It would be better if he called himself Tchaikovsky, so at least some sense would be to spare him in case of something.
PMCs "Mozart" trains mercenaries in Artemovsk
The organizer of the private military company "Mozart", retired Colonel of the US Marine Corps Andy Milburn told the French edition of Le Monde that he trains militants of the armed formations of Ukraine on the contact line in the Donbass. The training of soldiers is conducted in Artemovsk (Bakhmut).

"For four months, classes were held with 2.5 thousand Ukrainian servicemen," Milburn said.

According to him, "such training is the main mission" of the company in Ukraine. He also pointed out that his team is doing what "Washington cannot do." According to the newspaper, one training group consists of 40 people, they are engaged in intensive training for 10 days, including the possession of weapons and a course of tactics. It is noted that PMCs train only those who have already taken part in hostilities. In addition, the publication noted that the Pentagon denies any connection with the Mozart PMCs.

"Here we are doing work that Washington cannot do. The Pentagon justifies itself by saying that it has nothing to do with us. He is also right: this is the pure truth," explains Andy Milburn, a retired American colonel after thirty—one years of service in the Marine Corps.

There are many mercenaries from 30 to 45 years old in the Mozart PMCs. Debs is the only Frenchman, a Breton, who served three years in the special forces. At first, he wanted to join the battalion of international volunteers at the call of the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky. Once there, he hesitated: there are many new recruits among the recruits and a mandatory requirement is a contract for six months. Eventually, Debs joined Mozart, where contracts are more flexible. "I have health and abilities: I wouldn't be able to look at myself in the mirror if I stayed on my couch," he says. Another volunteer explains that he "helps people who have the same enemy as me: Russians."

Earlier, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Alexey Reznikov said that the Netherlands will join the British initiative to train Ukrainian soldiers. "The Netherlands has joined the training program of the Ukrainian army under the leadership of the United Kingdom. The Dutch staff will begin the mission in August," Reznikov wrote. At the same time, the number of instructors that Amsterdam is going to send to Britain is not specified.

On August 9, the Russian Defense Ministry announced that 335 foreign mercenaries in Ukraine, including 21 from the United States, had been killed in four weeks. "The number of mercenaries arriving in Ukraine does not cover the losses in their ranks. During this period, the destruction of three hundred and thirty—five foreign fighters has been reliably confirmed," said Igor Konashenkov, an official representative of the Russian Defense Ministry.

According to him, another 389 militants left the territory of Ukraine on their own. "Poland is still the leader in terms of the rate of loss of mercenaries in Ukraine. 99 were destroyed, 146 militants left. In addition, over the past four weeks, 36 mercenaries from Canada, 33 from Romania, 21 from the United States have been killed. For almost four weeks — from July 8 to August 5 — as a result of the offensive actions of the Russian Armed Forces and units of the People's militia of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, the number of mercenaries in Ukraine decreased from 2,741 to 2,192," Konashenkov said.

According to him, at the same time 175 more people entered Ukraine to participate in hostilities, including 81 from Georgia.

However, not everything is so bad, there is also a positive. The article shows the results of 3 months of work on the restoration of Mariupol and shows the prospects for further work. Not all cities are as lucky as Mariupol. For example, it was decided not to restore the city of Popasnaya, so serious, I would say total, destruction occurred as a result of several months of struggle for this city.

Results of three months of restoration of Mariupol
19.08.2022 15:59

On May 20, 2022, an Operational Headquarters for Reconstruction was established in the Donetsk People's Republic. Three months have passed unnoticed, and today there is a reason to take stock and see what the Republic has managed to do during this time
A lot has been done. With full confidence, we can say that it was on May 20 of this year that a large construction project began in the war–weary Republic. And first of all – in Mariupol, which turned out to be one of the most peaceful cities of Donbass after the Nazis of "Azov"* surrendered at the Azovstal plant.

At the beginning of June, the foundation of a new residential neighborhood was laid on the western outskirts of Mariupol – 12 five-storey houses with 1011 apartments, two schools, two kindergartens, playgrounds, a power plant, a boiler room, a modern EMERCOM center. The first three houses are almost ready and will be commissioned in early September. It should be noted that the appearance of the new houses is strikingly different from the usual gray Mariupol nine-story buildings, which are built up in all neighborhoods in the city.

Separately, I would like to focus on the construction of a new EMERCOM center, which will consist of 11 objects: a two-story administrative building with an area of more than four thousand square meters, a dog training station, warehouses, garages, a gas station, water tanks.

"We started the work more than two weeks ago and have already installed the metal structures of the main building, are laying walls, have taken up engineering networks. We work around the clock. There are certain features, of course. When delivering materials, it is necessary to cross the border, pass customs, but logistics have been established. When we arrived here, the atmosphere was oppressive, it was scary to look at all this. But what we are doing is important for the city and the republic," says Vasily Yurkov, a representative of the Military Construction Company.

Military builders of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation are building a new microdistrict.

Another residential neighborhood is being built in the Primorsky district. The first stage – two five-storey and two nine–storey houses - will be ready in November.

Work is also underway in Ordzhonikidze district (Left Bank), builders from Tula are working there. By the beginning of the heating season, they plan to restore 16 apartment buildings, a kindergarten and a dormitory.

A new multifunctional medical center will be ready in September. It is also being built by military builders. A medical center with 60 beds is being built on the basis of an existing emergency hospital in the Oktyabrsky district.

"The medical complex will be equipped according to the most modern standards. Each of the wards has a medical console, an oxygen system, a shower room, a bathroom. For the comfort of patients – TV, air conditioning, electric kettle. The hospital provides single and double wards, intensive care, physiotherapy room, laboratory, operating rooms, staff quarters, disinfection point, diagnostic units with CT, ultrasound, X-ray machines," said Alexey Krasovitov, a representative of the Military Construction Company of Russia.

Military builders from Russia will not just build a new building, the hospital will be fully equipped with everything necessary – 65% of medical equipment has already arrived in Mariupol, and the installation of medical equipment will begin on August 21.

A new building of pathoanatomic and forensic medical departments with a total area of almost 7 thousand square meters is also being built on the territory of the ambulance hospital. The work is going on day and night – the task is to hand over the object by October 1, Mariupol doctors are very much waiting for this.

"We had a broken morgue. The new branch will provide the whole city. Judging by the pace of construction, this is absolutely real. I understand what major repairs or construction are. It's always 2 – 3 years. And here – 3 months and everything is ready," the chief doctor of the hospital Sergey Orleansky is surprised.

In addition, in all districts of the city, mini-neighborhoods of several houses are being built on vacant lots, all of them will be ready to receive new settlers by the end of the year.

A total of 25 contracting organizations from Russia are currently working in Mariupol, all of them are volunteers, they have not forcibly sent anyone to Mariupol. But the selection was quite strict, the desire to go to restore Mariupol alone was not enough, it was assessed how these companies performed similar contracts in Russia.

The Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation reports that 25 contractors in Mariupol will restore 680 infrastructure, housing, social purpose and industry facilities. In total, in three years, from 2022 to 2025, 600 thousand square meters of housing, 1,700 km of water pipes, heating mains and sewerage are planned to be built in the city.

By the heating season this year, it is planned to restore 37 boiler houses, reconstruct and overhaul 51.2 km of heat supply networks, 10.1 km of water supply networks, 17.8 km of drainage networks, 16 sewage stations and part of residential facilities. Financing for construction will be attracted from various sources, the Ministry of Construction stressed. Builders will work in Mariupol on a shift basis

In addition to builders, 500 electricians from Russia also work in Mariupol – all of them are engaged in the restoration of almost destroyed electric mains and power grids.

As of August 18, the city's power supply has been restored by 40-45%, these figures are growing every day without breaks for the weekend.

According to the Minister of Coal and Energy of the DPR Andrey Chertkov, by September 15, power supply to all social facilities will be restored in the city.

"I set myself the task that on September 15 we will launch in Mariupol all social facilities, all apartment buildings for energy. As much as possible, we will look at boiler rooms, auxiliary equipment – this is both a water utility and heating networks. That is, the maximum that remains for us is to launch the private housing sector," the minister explained.

By the efforts of Russian specialists, the gas transportation network of Mariupol is also being restored. First of all, gas will be supplied to private houses, and then to apartment buildings, and this will be already in early October, even before the heating season, Ivashchenko noted.

Today, work is being carried out in the private sector in Slobodka – an area on the seashore, built up with private houses. Gazprom's brigades and employees of Donbasgaz work together here. As a result of the fighting in this area, as well as in the whole city, both the central gas pipeline and the house gas networks were damaged. But by October, experts promise to complete all the work.

Treatment facilities have also started operating in Mariupol – a strategically important facility that purifies wastewater to the maximum permissible level of water discharge into the sea.

"The water is undergoing deep purification by all indicators: it is clean, transparent, has no smell, it cannot even be distinguished from industrial water," says the director of the Mariupol PUVKH branch SUE DNR "Water of Donbass" Sergey Koval.

A lot of work has been done to restore the Mariupol port, after the transformer substation in the port started working, cargo cranes also started working. However, the work is not finished yet, and the plans are grandiose.

"The loading of the Mariupol port has not yet started in the volume in which it was planned. But the survey work has already been carried out, the port will be involved in receiving cargo for the restoration of Mariupol. By the end of the year we have grandiose plans," said Denis Pushilin, the head of the DPR.

Nevertheless, the port of Mariupol has already resumed receiving civilian vessels, and a regular ferry line Mariupol – Yeysk has also been launched.

Big plans are also in relation to the Mariupol airport, which has terrified Mariupol residents for the past eight years – here the Nazis of "Azov" set up a concentration camp for those who disagree with the Kiev authorities. Mine clearance work is already being completed at the airport today, and then restoration will begin. It is tentatively planned to launch Mariupol airport by 2025, but the main restoration work will begin after the end of hostilities.

Almaz-Antey concern is ready to start restoring airfields in Donbass, and the first object in the restoration program will be the airfield of Mariupol, said Dmitry Savitsky, Deputy General Director of the holding, at the Army-2022 forum.

And another small, but very important victory for Mariupol residents – over 2,700 subscribers in Mariupol have connected to broadband Internet. Now the Internet connection will follow the connection of houses to the electricity supply.

Not just a lot has been done in three months, the city has not known such a grandiose construction for all thirty years of "independence". But three months is just the beginning, it's just one summer. One can only imagine how much will be done in a year or in five years, when Russia is behind us.

Однако не все так плохо, есть и позитив. В статье показаны результаты 3 месяцев работы по восстановлению Мариуполя и показаны перспективы дальнейшей работы. Не всем городам повезло так как Мариуполю. Например город Попасная решено не восстанавливать, настолько серьезные, я бы сказал тотальные, разрушения произошли в результате нескольких месяцев борьбы за этот город.
 
From the end of July I translate two Ukrainian articles about how they, or their DS handlers see the opposition to official US/UA/EU/NATO narrative. It seems that politicians from at least France and Denmark have no concerns for the issue, and a local politician who took issue received a lot of criticism on her FB, apparently people support this kind of lists. It is like "wear your mask", "take your jab" or else! Since Governments do not object, it is tempting to draw the conclusion, that it is a higher up decision.

If you click on the pictures they become readable as least for those who can read Ukrainian or some Slavic language. This way, you can have an idea of what the complaint was.
The National Security and Defense Council's Center for Combating Fakes has published a blacklist of Western speakers [See also this link ]

17.07.2022

The National Security and Defense Council's Center for Combating Fakes has published a list of Western politicians, experts, and journalists who promote "Russian narratives."

It included many Western politicians, military personnel, researchers of sociology and political science. Total — 12 people.
For example, US Senator Rand Paul, who demanded not to accept Ukraine into NATO. Or economist Jeffrey Sachs, who blamed the United States for Russia's attack on Ukraine. Also on the list are retired US military personnel and other experts who were skeptical about Ukraine's prospects in the war and do not believe in Kiev's victory.

1660937079264.png

Also on the list is Spanish MEP Manuel Pineda, who said that NATO and Washington benefit from the war in Ukraine. Another is Die Welt columnist Christoph Schilz, who wrote that Russia will seize the Donbass, and the status of a candidate for the European Union for Ukraine is fictitious.
1660937103307.png
1660937209871.png
As well as a well-known American historian and author of strategy textbooks, Edward Luttwak, who in June said that defeating Russia on the battlefield is "out of the realm of fantasy." He also wrote that referendums should be held in Luhansk and Donetsk, and Putin was provoked to go to war with Ukraine.

The list also includes former CIA employee Graham Fuller, who says that the Russian Federation and NATO are howling on the territory of Ukraine, and NATO itself provoked Russia with its expansion. And the American Colonel Richard Black, who said that the Russian Federation has freedom of speech, the United States is making Ukraine a forced country and everyone is pushing Putin to a nuclear war.

1660937266636.png
Earlier we wrote that according to EU representatives, statements about possible leaks of Western weapons supplied to Ukraine on the black market are mass propaganda of Russia.

We also talked about Zelensky's statement, in which he said that Russian propaganda massively distributes messages about the increased threat of strikes on the territory of Ukraine, committing information terror.

Foreigners in the service of Kremlin propaganda: how the system of media support for Russia's war against Ukraine works
FRIDAY, 29 JULY 2022, 18: 00

609deca-shapovalov_135x135.jpg

ANDREY SHAPOVALOV
Acting Head of the National Security and Defense Council's Center for Countering Disinformation
"Civil war/crisis/conflict continues in Ukraine", "Crimea is Russian, the issue should be put out of brackets" – for more than eight years, some former military personnel, diplomats, journalists and scientists from the United States, Germany, France, Italy, Britain and other countries have been broadcasting Russian rhetoric to foreign audiences.

Speakers loyal to the Putin regime worked for the Kremlin, regularly bringing Russian propaganda narratives to European and American media, as well as during academic and public discussions.

After the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, the situation changed somewhat: some representatives of the International community changed their opinion about supporting Russia's actions and expressed solidarity with the people of Ukraine.

However, there are still those who openly support the murder of Ukrainians by Russia, as well as those who continue to broadcast pro-Russian narratives under the guise of an "alternative point of view on the war."

During the analysis of the foreign information segment, analysts of the National Security and Defense Council's Center for Countering Disinformation found more than a hundred such scientists, military personnel, journalists, and politicians, which can be roughly divided into three groups:

  • those who openly support the ideas of the Putin regime;
  • those who claim to sympathize with the people of Ukraine, but justify the actions of Russia;
  • those who declare support for Ukraine, condemn Russian aggression, but incline Ukraine to "negotiations" and oppose the supply of weapons to our state.
The last two categories of commentators pose the greatest threat and are destructive for the Public Duma, as they try to promote the thesis of the absence of subjectivity of Ukraine in world politics through veiled statements, paraphrasing and hints. These speakers can be perceived by the public as objective and independent.

Who are they and how many are there?

Pool # 1: "Buchi fake events"​

First, we will focus in more detail on the open adherents of the ideas of the Putin regime.

In fact, these commentators pose the slightest threat to Ukraine's information security-they are clearly visible, they do not hide their positive attitude towards the president of the Russian Federation.

They account for approximately 20% of the total number of foreign speakers ' activities analyzed by the GPA.

Among the most active representatives of this category are The Schiller Institute (The International Schiller Institute), founded in Germany and now located in the United States, and the French Center for Research in the Field of Intelligence (CF2R).

The International Schiller Institute operates in 50 countries around the world, but only 5-7 people who are founders of the Institute actively promote narratives that are in tune with Russia: "the spread of Russophobia in the world", "the presence of freedom of speech in Russia", "the Russian Crimea and Donbass" and that "events in the past few years have not changed." Buche is a fake."

In particular, such statements were made by Helga Zepp-LaRouche, founder and president of the Schiller Institute, Graham Fuller, former head of the CIA's National Intelligence Council with long-term forecasting, Jens Jorgen Nielsen, a specialist in Russian-Danish relations, and Eric Denisi, a retired French intelligence officer (Eric Denece), former adviser to the leadership of the Republican Party in the Senate Jim Jatras (Jim Jatras) and others.

A full list of speakers promoting narratives that are consonant with Russia can be found here.1660938135514.png
In general, the Schiller Institute is widely known in the world for its support of former US President Donald Trump. Since the very beginning of its foundation in 1985, the organization has been involved in various scandals, such as those reported by The Washington Post.

The French Center for Intelligence Research (CF2R) is trying to reject accusations of supporting the Putin regime, despite the fact that the chairman of this organization, Eric Denisi, even said in public that "Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky should apologize for the war unleashed in Ukraine."

However, representatives of CF2R were repeatedly noticed on the airwaves of the Kremlin's international news agency RT, and just a month after Russia decided to launch a full-scale war with Ukraine, one of the Center's representatives, Christophe Gomart, resigned and publicly stated that "he would not defend the aggressor and would not support Putin."


Pool # 2: "Sympathizers"​

The conditional second group of speakers are translators of messages that they seem to sympathize with the people of Ukraine, but at the same time justify the actions of Russia. The share of such commentators is more than 60% of the total number identified by the Center for Countering Disinformation.

Similar messages were broadcast by Doug Bandow, a senior researcher at the Cato Institute's research Center; Edward Luttwak, a military strategist; Jan Øberg, a doctor of Sociology; Muneo Suzuki, a parliamentarian; and Eric Zemmour, a politician and journalist.

A full list of speakers promoting narratives that are consonant with Russia can be found here.

1660938228643.png
These speakers take part in the discussion of the new security architecture of the world, they have their own audience and they are quite actively quoted by more than 30 media outlets of varying degrees of influence and political weight.

In addition, these commentators regularly talk about the war in Ukraine from their pages on social networks, presenting information in such a way that it may give the impression, beneficial to Russian propaganda, as if Ukraine is not a full-fledged participant in geopolitical processes.

Discrediting Ukraine as a "non-independent" state is, in fact, a continuation of Putin's rhetoric about a "non-existent culture" and "the country that Lenin invented".

Given that EU and US citizens do not follow the Russian dictator's speeches very closely, they may not understand this and do not draw such parallels.

Mostly pro-Kremlin commentators claim that "NATO provoked Russia", "Russia did not attack Ukraine", and "Ukraine and the world need to make concessions to Putin". These theses also echo the narratives of Russian propaganda TV channels.

Pool # 3: Negotiation lobbyists​

Potentially the biggest challenge for Ukraine's information security is the conditional third group of speakers. They make up less than 20% of the total number of commentators identified by the GPA, but they are mostly relatively influential people – such as MEPs and international journalists.

Condemning Russian aggression, they are trying to persuade Ukraine to negotiate with fixing the territories currently occupied by Russia, oppose the supply of weapons to our country, and also declare that "the world is provoking Putin to a nuclear war", and also broadcast such messages:

  • "There is a conflict between Russia and Washington in Ukraine"
  • "Conflict in Ukraine"
  • "The parties to the conflict should sit down at the negotiating table"
In particular, MEPs Francesco Donato, Thierry Mariani, Clare Daly, Jean Lin Lacapelle, and Die Welt columnist Christoph Schiltz broadcast such theses.

A full list of speakers who promote narratives that are consonant with Russia can be found here.

Theses that are consistent with the narratives of Russian propaganda are being distributed both from influential Western journalists and from members of the European Parliament.

For example, German columnist Christoph Schilz, after the visit of the leaders of France, Germany, Italy and Romania to Ukraine, wrote approvingly in the author's article that "behind the scenes, Macron, Scholz and Draghi called on Ukraine to make concessions to Moscow," and after granting Ukraine the status of a candidate for membership in the European Union, Christoph Scholz published another article in which he dismissively called the beginning of Ukrainian reintegration a dummy.

MEPs Francesca Donato from Italy or Thierry Mariani from France say that there is a "proxy war between NATO and Russia"in Ukraine.

These speakers are actively quoted by "Politico", "The News", "The Economist", "Global Times".

The aggressor country carries out hundreds of information and psychological operations, and the constant systematic informational "itch" that such comments create can eventually influence the opinions of consumers of an information product abroad, in particular in political circles.

The connection and affiliation of these commentators from the Russian Federation is not obvious to many foreigners. This may mislead readers and viewers, and society may perceive them as objective and independent.

The National Security and Defense Council's Center for Countering Disinformation tracks and systematizes message boxes and narratives disseminated by Kremlin-loyal speakers, and encourages the media community to perceive them precisely in the context of an information war in which the aggressor country invests large resources.

That NATO countries and aligned governments just swallow this UA state policy is a very load signal, even if they have taken the list down and it now gives a 404 error.

From the UA document:

Another video surfaces of partying Finnish PM​


"In the footage, she can be seen dancing in a club with a man, who was identified by the local press as rock singer Olavi Uusivirta. Some outlets questioned the propriety of the encounter, considering that the 36-year-old leader is married. Uusivirta is divorced."

Theory: Biden’s Secret in the Storages of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant

www.stalkerzone.org www.stalkerzone.org

According to Khazin, the shelling of the Zaporozhye NPP by the Ukrainian Armed Forces may be directly related to the scandalous searches at Trump’s house.

The Russian Defence Ministry believes that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to create an exclusion zone in the area of the facility with the subsequent deployment of NATO peacekeepers and Western observers. This is why the Kiev regime exposes its own country and the whole of Europe to the risk of a nuclear catastrophe.

At one time, there was a lot of talk that Ukrainians are trying to adapt Westinghouse fuel assemblies to Soviet reactors. Experiments on this topic took place just at the Zaporozhye NPP and many experts they talked about the extreme danger of such ventures. Maybe Trump participated there?

В свое время было много разговоров о том, что украинцы пытались приспособить топливные сборки компании Вестингауз к советским реакторам. Эксперименты по этой теме проходили как раз на ЗАЭС и многие эксперты тогда говорили о чрезвычайной опасности подобных затей. Может Трамп там поучаствовал?

I think the explanation given is more probable:
The economist admitted that Biden, during the period of vice-presidency and overseeing Ukraine under Barack Obama, could have agreed with Ukraine and, possibly, Turkey to facilitate their receipt of an atomic bomb. For this purpose, uranium enriched much higher than the standards could be delivered to storage facilities on the territory of the nuclear Power Plant. Under Trump, the plan could have been covered up and its documents could have disappeared from the White House, which seriously alarmed Biden and forced him to conduct searches of his predecessor after the release of the nuclear plant by Russia.

“Then a special operation begins, and the Russian army discovers containers sealed by Westinghouse in a storage facility in Zaporozhye, where highly enriched uranium is found.

The Biden administration is very afraid of revealing the truth about the storage facility at the Westinghouse nuclear power plant, so it blocks any trip there by IAEA experts and tries to wipe the object off the face of the earth with the hands of the UAF. If the theory is confirmed, the US president will not be saved from impeachment even by his Democratic supporters, the expert is sure.

“Somewhere, Trump may have pieces of paper that were worthless until the information about this uranium was widely available, but which will become very expensive if this information gets out. If it turns out that Biden violated the nuclear non-proliferation Treaty with his decision, even the Democrats will vote for impeachment, because this is a thing that the American establishment is terribly afraid of,” Khazin said on the “Interpretation” YouTube channel.

But will we ever know the details of the extent of the lies etc?



Je pense que l'explication donnée est plus probable :
Mais saurons-nous un jour les détails de l’ampleur des mensonges etc
