But there are neo-nazis in every country. Including in Russia’s Wagner group that Putin loves.

No, I referring to the renaming of Streets and putting up monuments which takes gov approval.


Even our own elected officials were able to come together in 2018 and sign a letter of condemnation to the Ukrainian gov.

The letter, signed by both Republicans and Democrats, outlined concerns about ongoing ceremonies to glorify leaders of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army as well as 14th SS Galizien Division (aka 1stGalician/Galizien or the 1st Ukrainian Division). “It’s particularly troubling that much of the Nazi glorification in Ukraine is government-supported,” noted the letter to U.S. Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan. The letter was initiated by Democratic Reps. Ro Khanna of California and David Cicilline of Rhode Island.

In 2016, a major Kyiv boulevard was renamed after Bandera. The renaming is particularly obscene since the street leads to Babi Yar, the ravine where Nazis, aided by Ukrainian collaborators, exterminated 33,771 Jews in two days, in one of the largest single massacres of the Holocaust. Both the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the World Jewish Congress condemned the move.

This isn't a john boy in a remote location.


Even the mayor that the MSM had on who "escorted" the Russian armies out of his city had a Bandera picture on his wall the whole interview.

Euro gas prices took a bit of a jump today. How are those sanctions working for you Europe?



@PatAlvarezB
European gas prices at all record highs, gracing 330 Eur/MWh -- in excess of $575 a barrel of oil equivalent -- , up 72% so far today, as fears over Russian gas supply cuts mount with the prospect of new energy-specific sanctions.


Siddharth ????@sidduu96·2m
Sanctions were meant to hurt Russia, but just now, Gas prices in Europe touched all time high of 3700$ per thousand cubic meters.

It’s amazing how many Russian shills there are on this site.

Putin and his rich cronies were friends with Trump and his rich cronies. Trump is a wealthy business man with a big mouth, who had no prior experience serving in any type of office(Senator, Governor, ect.) Trump ran as republican candidate, so Russian propaganda is targeting them and bringing them on his side of the table. Putin wants the war in Ukraine to be a divided issue amongst American Republicans and Democrats and not for America to be unified against what he is doing in Ukraine. When Trump was in office we had people rioting at the Capital building. This has been Putin’s goal since the Ukraine issue arose in 2014. That’s why Russia was involved in the 2016 Americans election. They wanted Trump to take power, regardless of what party he was representing. Don’t underestimate what Putin can do with his wealth and power. Sooner or later people in here are going to have to accept that Putin doesn’t Iike us and has had his sights on the United States for many years now, as one of the leading members of NATO. I don’t consider myself a liberal or a conservative. I’m just sitting back and observing the big picture. Putin is a bad dude, a real life bond villain. I’m glad to see so many of the Russian people finally taking to the streets and standing up to Putin’s regime.

The Kremlin has announced its demands for ending the war in Ukraine:
-Ukraine must change its constitution to guarantee it won't join any "blocs", i.e. NATO + EU.
-Must recognise Crimea as part of Russia.
-Must recognise the eastern separatist regions as independent.

Another round of negotiations are slated for today.

I would have expected demilitarization as well.

Biden had plenty of time to address Russia's security and border concerns, but, Biden the Foreign Policy Expert did nothing and now tells us that Putin will "never win the hearts and minds of the Iranian people."

And Biden is YOUR boy! says a lot about you!

There aren’t going to be any serious negotiations. Russia isn’t that far off from taking all of the major cities and then concentrating totally on Kyiv.

Zakarpattia was a historically Hungarian territory, and has a large Hungarian population.

Relations are quite bad right now, due to Ukraine’s efforts to stamp out minority identities.
