This is extremely bizarre. Disgraced treasonous ex pres Yanukovych who fled to Russia and is living under protection of Russian security services has a court date on February 16th to consider the “illegality” of his removal from presidency. Apparently the date was set last month
On Feb 16, OASK will consider Yanukovych's lawsuit against Rada regarding recognition of the fact of his self-removal from office in 2014. In January 2022, Yanukovych filed a lawsuit w OASK in connection with the deprivation of his title of president. interfax.com.ua/news/general/7…
This really brings the recent British alert into a new light. besides the fact that Manafort and others were working on plans to bring Yanukovych back to some form of power in Ukraine
Putin’s Press Secretary Peskov denied reports of Putin's promise to Macron on not conducting new military exercises near Ukraine’s border. This mockery is what Macron humiliated himself for ria.ru/20220208/manev…
Re Belarus that Macron spoke about. 'Russian contingent would return from Belarus to their places of permanent deployment anyway. "No one ever said that <...> the troops would remain on the territory of Belarus , there was no talk of this," Peskov
"Moscow and Paris could not conclude any deals. It is simply impossible, because France is both a member of the EU and the EU presidency. France is also a member of NATO, where France does not have the leadership <...>. Therefore, the newspaper simply wrote incorrectly ", Peskov
More than 75,000 people had to be evacuated from 400 buildings in Russian occupied DNR due to reports of bomb threats. Seems to be a lot of that going around lately. FSB is busy
Also admin officials/visitors to several Russian occupied Crimean cities were evacuated due to reports of of bomb threats to buildings. "There is a new wave of 'mining' in Crimea". Russia, Ukraine, US all have been getting a rash of bomb threats over the past month
Pleased to see more and more commentators saying that Putin’s aggression are due to revanchist policy and not some suddenly contrived fear of NATO expansionism. Anyone who has been paying serious attention sees his Soviet tendencies domestically and abroad running parallel
It was really frustrating watching his NATO security demands being discussed seriously but it seems people are now catching on that it was all bs and see Putin’s real strategic goals
In simpler terms Putin’s foreign includes his attempts to reinstate Soviet territorial losses and domestically institute repression during Soviet days
