In my #Ukrainian Avers TV interview, I said that #Belarusian government is using #migrants from #Iraq as retaliation for #Polish governments’ support of opposition in #Belarus & its refusal to recognize Lukashenko as president.
I also commented that US-Ukrainian partnership charter shows symbolic US support for Ukraine. It solidifies position of #Ukraine as US client state which is used by US & EU to contain #Russia without providing any commitments & without any prospects of EU membership for Ukraine.
I said that public backing by US, EU & NATO of proposed SBU law also shows client state status of #Ukraine & its security service. Despite rhetoric of reforms & democratization, SBU in fact is used against political opponents, & human rights situation is similar to end of 80s.
Besides US & other Western states, oligarchs represent another informal force which has influence over #Ukrainian state institutions & politics. As I predicted in my previous interview, Akhmetov's TV channels have turned against #Zelensky & started promoting Avakov & Razumkov.

As I said, "Canadian policy turns a “blind eye” to ultranationalist extremism and human rights violations & this silence basically is used by the #farright in #Ukraine and by the #Ukrainian government as immunity, as a sign of support, as a green light.” theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
And it has not been reported yet in #Canadian media that leader of #Neonazi C14 admitted that his C14-based Maidan Self-Defense company took refuge in the Canadian embassy in Kyiv on February 18 and stayed there during the Maidan massacre. (p. 21). researchgate.net/publication/33…

The EU special representative for human rights states that there are problems with the investigations of the #Maidan and #Odesa massacres in #Ukraine and that progress is needed in these investigations.
strana.news/news/359551-v-…
My academic studies show that investigations and prosecutions of both these crucial mass killings are stonewalled and fabricated in order to cover-up involvement of the Maidan politicians and far right in these massacres. researchgate.net/publication/34…

#Zelensky decides to escalate civil war in #Donbass to counter his falling public approval after his offshore money scandal & energy & Covid #pandemic crises in #Ukraine. He admits ordering use of #Turkish #drones in Donbas. There are reports of shelling. pravda.com.ua/rus/news/2021/…
This is very dangerous game by #Zelensky since significant escalation of civil war in #Donbas can lead to much more significant military intervention by #Russia in Donbas, compared to August 2014 & Winter 2015, or to #Russia launching war with #Ukraine. researchgate.net/publication/29…
Large-scale military intervention by Russia in #Donbas, or #Russia launching war with #Ukraine would lead to very large casualties & loss of other territories & possibly independence of Ukraine. Putin threated such actions. Russia-Georgia war over South Ossetia is such precedent.

Wow! My video appendix, which shows over 80 witness testimonies about snipers in Maidan-controlled buildings, was admitted as evidence & shown at Maidan massacre trial. There is censorship of this & other such evidence revealed by this #trial in #Ukraine
My video appendix is shown starting at 24:29 in the official online video recording of the trial. I was not involved in the #Maidan massacre #trial or in providing my video appendix as evidence for this trial of the century in #Ukraine.
Such witness testimonies along with overwhelming other evidence that I presented in my academic studies show that Maidan snipers and not Berkut police massacred Maidan protesters and that denial of such snipers by government investigation in #Ukraine is a cover-up.

Maidan victims lawyer states on basis of government investigation that member of Internal Troops was killed on Maidan by Music Conservatory sniper in the back when he was sitting & smoking (26m) This Maidan sniper admitted killing police in Ukrainian media
Maidan victims lawyer states that testimonies & videos show that snipers in Horodetskoho Street building attic massacred Maidan protesters sideways (8m) Government investigation denies that there were snipers in this & other Maidan-controlled buildings.

Opposition #Belarusian blogger, who served in neo-Nazi-led Azov regiment in #Ukraine & was arrested in #Belarus after diversion of Ryanair passenger plane, is released to house arrest & posts his video on Twitter in another evidence of cooperation with Belarussian authorities.
It is revealing that he was glorified & whitewashed in spite of evidence of his #NeoNazi background & cooperation with #Belarussian authorities after his arrest, while a few scholars who pointed such evidence, came under attacks for this. As usual, there would be no mea culpas.
And this continues in spite all the evidence
