Approximately a thousand Donbass refugees arrived in Rostov, Russia, fleeing Ukraine's fire overnight. The area can house up to 12,000 refugees.

Tens of thousands of Donbass refugees have been evacuated to Russia thus far in an organized drive by the authorities, and approximately 100,000 are evacuating themselves. They are receiving counseling from the Ministry of Emergency Situations (per Vesti). Image

Putin: Ukraine is not just a neighbor, but an integral part of our history, our culture, our spiritual roots--Orthodox Christianity. Many of them are also our family members.

Putin's address regarding Donbass live:
Putin: Modern Ukraine was formed in its entirety by the Bolsheviks right after the 1917 Revolution. Some of this occurred by taking away historic Russian lands. Later, Stalin attached western Ukraine (formerly under German-speaking rule). Then Khrushchev attached Russian Crimea.
Putin: In its early days, Soviet Ukraine was formed based on Lenin's ideas of Ukrainization (by creating Ukrainian culture where there was none before + by adding Russian land). This was part of the Bolshevik strategy to stay in power, eg. the humiliating Treaty of Brest-Litovsk.

THREAD: COVID-19 pandemic has revealed that the emperor has no clothes in key areas. First, it turns out that essential workers are not only the medics, but everyone in the supply chain: drivers/warehouse/grocery/restaurant-takeout workers. They are the ones keeping us fed.👇🏻
Second, Western propaganda scapegoats, China + Russia, along with the likes of Cuba—from the former/current socialist camp—turned out better prepared for the pandemic than many Western countries. However imperfectly. Not just domestically, but in terms of offering foreign aid. 👇🏻
Third, it also turns out that while Western (for-profit, but not always) medicine excels in groundbreaking surgery, it has been systemically failing at dealing with a large-scale, predictable crisis in the most basic way, such as lacking masks, ventilators, and other supplies. 👇🏻

The smug, self-congratulatory tone of this article is impressive. It is basically a propaganda piece reasserting NATO’s original goals—to keep the Russians out & Germans down. It agues that without the US presence childlike Europe would fall into turmoil.
bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
This piece not only argues that Europe should not have political and military agency without the US, but that Germany would be attacking everyone left and right if it weren’t for US occupation.
It is alarming that a professor from a major university would be making such definitive claims about NATO being the primary cause of relative stability in Europe—or evil Russkies or Germans not taking over half of the continent.
