#Ukrainian parliament has amended Constitution by including EU and NATO memberships as #Ukraine goals. This is another election ploy by Poroshenko, since my research shows that Ukraine has no prospects of EU and NATO memberships in the foreseeable future. pravda.com.ua/news/2019/02/7…
My research shows that Ukraine has no prospects of EU and NATO memberships in the foreseeable future because the Western countries would not accept Ukraine into these organizations. "Euromaidan" did not change this in spite of predictions to the contrary. researchgate.net/publication/25…
Opposition to NATO membership of #Ukraine by such NATO members as Germany, Crimea & Donbas conflicts, Russian military interventions there & possibility of escalation of regional conflicts & new military intervention by #Russia in case of movement towards NATO suggest 0 prospect
Maidan leaders deliberately misled Ukrainians by promising EU & NATO memberships. Western governments treat #Ukraine as buffer state against #Russia & therefore support undemocratic & illiberal policies in Ukraine that would be unacceptable in Western democracies.

New KMIS #Poll : 51% of residents of #Ukraine support and 38% oppose giving autonomy for the separatist-controlled part of #donbas if this would be needed to end the war and resolve this #conflict peacefully. #Donbass kiis.com.ua/?lang=ukr&cat=…
New KMIS #Poll : 54% of residents of Ukraine oppose blocking of #Russian TV channels in #Ukraine, while 32% support such political #Censorship. Similarly, 60% oppose ban on many performers and films from #Russia, while 28% support such political ban. kiis.com.ua/?lang=ukr&cat=…
The KMIS poll shows that views of most Ukrainians on these issues are more liberal and democratic than views of most Ukrainian politicians and many intellectuals, who publicly claim to support democracy, freedom, and European values but in fact act in the opposite way.

Unreported #Maidan massacre #trial bombshell: Berkut lawyers request testimony via videolink from Belarus by 4 ex-#Georgian ex-military who testified in Italian & Israeli TV documentaries about snipers shooting police & protesters on Maidan leaders orders
Three of these Georgians testified in #Israeli TV #documentary that their and other Maidan groups received weapons, payments, and orders to massacre both police and protesters from Maidan and Georgian politicians.
Previous such request by Berkut lawyers 15 months ago for video testimony from Armenia by 2 of these Georgians is still not implemented despite its approval by Maidan massacre trial judges & depositions made by these Georgians for trial with similar testimony & identity proof.

This is ust another example for those who take government propaganda & media fake news, like in case of Maidan & Odesa massacres, at face value. It is more surprising that NYT published such video, which was already shown immediately after this incident. nytimes.com/2019/03/10/wor…
Neither @nytimes nor other Western media published similar videos showing shooting of Maidan protesters from Maidan-controlled Hotel Ukraina and far right protesters setting the Trade Union building in Odesa on fire. These videos are cited in my studies.
And CNN did not report its footage of Maidan snipers walking in front of its TV crew on the Maidan, shooting at the police, and forcing the police to flee and its footage of Maidan snipers looking for shooting positions in the Hotel Ukraina during Maidan massacre.

I had the opportunity to attend the #NATO-Industry Forum in Berlin yesterday and the day before, and to moderate the session on autonomy in warfare. A few observations (thread)
[1]
EU-NATO relations were a big topic, with lots of discussion of the European Defence Fund, PESCO, etc. Everyone, including EU commissioner @EBienkowskaEU and Gen Sec Stoltenberg emphasised that Europe's defence efforts are complementary and not in competition with NATO...
[2]
...and yet, the fact that this needs to be continuously emphasised at least points to some worries somewhere.

Oh, no, no. The President of #Ukraine is surely wrong, and all those journalists who know shit about Ukraine, the international organizations that are too compromised or cowardly to speak the truth because it demands action, etc. know better. 🙄
mil.gov.ua/en/news/2018/0…
In all seriousness, just think about how profoundly twisted this is. #Ukraine has stated unambiguously that #Russia is waging an unlawful interstate war on Ukraine, and NOT ONE body of political note or power will even acknowledge this basic truth!
This is precisely why @RomanSohn and I demand that the EU & NATO *finally* lead & call things by their names, and clearly and unambiguously recognize the patently obvious truth, that #Russia is the aggressor in an unlawful, interstate war against #Ukraine.
