From 10:00 a.m. local time (08:00 Paris) today, #Russia agreed on a #ceasefire for Kiev, Chernigov, Sumy, Kharkov, Mariupol and humanitarian corridors have been agreed with #Ukraine.
Mercenaries from the US, UK, Sweden, Lithuania, Mexico, and India joined the war in #Ukraine. Their respective countries agreed for these to be involved without falling back to any "act of terrorism", so they can fight #Russia.
#Russia Major General of the Russian Army Vitaly Gerasimov has not been killed. I deleted the previous tweet.
#US@SecBlinken holds a joint news conference in #Estonian: "We shall increase the cost of war in #Ukraine on the Kremlin"
In other words: we r sending more weapons for Ukrainian to die because we know what the outcome will be but that gives us the opportunity to demonise Russia.
Weapons 0f Mass Destruction: #China: “The #US has 336 labs in 30 countries under its control, including 26 in #Ukraine alone. It should give a full account of its biological military activities at home and abroad and subject itself to multilateral verification.“ V @ASBMilitary
The #US oil import 700,000 b/d and Europe oil import 4,5 million b/d from #Russia.
If the US - which is driving energy prices to an unprecedented level with its sanctions - declares (most likely) sanctions on the Russian import, how much the oil price would reach?
The #CIA said it estimates no more than 2,000 to 4,000 #Russia/n soldiers were killed in the war, while #Ukraine claim 12,000.
#BreakingNews: #US President @JoeBiden said: "We have decided to sanction all oil and oil products.Defending [democracy] is costly. We are oil producers and exporters and understand that our allies can't follow us."
#US President Biden used the terminology "Putin's war" 4 times, to create a breakthrough between the Russian President and the people. That is typical US rhetoric that will be used extensively by the media, like in every war the US started and looked for justification for it.
#Russia's 5% losses of oil exported to the #US will be compensated by the increase of oil's price starting from this moment. The price went from 130 to 131.6 NOW.
How Europe - US allies - will afford the increase in prices?
#Russia signed a deal with #China, weeks before the war, that it will sell it 100 million tons in the next 20 yrs.
Watch the market now. The US irresponsible decisions that contribute to the high price of oil will not stop the war in #Ukraine but an agreement of neutrality would.
#BreakingNews: #Russia injected all the reserve forces that were not involved in the battle in the first days in #Ukraine. The total number of Russian forces in Ukraine is now near 150,000, indicating Russia's determination to end the battle. A potential change of tactic expected
#BreakingNews: #Europe/an officials said they will NOT follow the #US steps in imposing sanctions on #Russia more than what they have already established.
In other words: We shot ourselves enough in the foot. No more place for another bullet & we have accommodated enough the US.
More #Europe/an meetings in the coming days with little outcome over #Ukraine and #Russia. Europe is not united but agreed on one point: We can't live without the Russian gas for the next years.
2022-2023 will be the hardest ever in the world. The #US believes it can impose sanctions on the world? Now, most of the World will have to pay the price of its sanctions, including the #US.Russia confirms bans export of products and raw materials.+
This means #Russia bans any export outside of the Russian Federation until at least 2023.
“The government will define the list of states to be covered by these decisions within two weeks.”
The list is long and the first to tremble and go on its knees is #Europe +
A couple of maps of the latest developments in #Ukraine. Not much advance yesterday and #Russia announced a ceasefire and safe corridors in many cities, allowing diplomacy and civilians evacuation.
To stop buying oil from #Russia, #US no longer recognises Juan Guido as #Venezuela's President and visit @maduro_en to ask for the return of relationship and oil. It is also trying with #Iran for the same objective, after decades of sanctions on the people of Iran and Venezuela.
Last update: Map by Dancing Hd Mapper on #Russia advance in #Ukraine. Only a small advance in the south and on the East (Donbas) yesterday, as shown on the map.
A reminder: The war started on the 24th of February and we are starting day 11 of war.
This is the situation on the ground in #Ukraine. Donbas separatists advanced 55 km. #Russia is cutting Ukraine in two. In the south, #Mariupol, the last fortress on the #Azov seashore, is completely surrounded. Russian troops heading towards #Odesa.
By now, the #Ukraine government should understand that all attempts to bring the West into a larger war have failed. Prsdnt Zelenskyy should be realistic, stop all his lies about "nuclear disaster" & others, stop the destruction of his army & accept the neutrality of the country.
Read Carefully: 1. #NATO, #US, said it has no intention to impose a no-fly-zone & doesn't want to confront #Russia. 2. Secretary Blinken said yesterday:"We shall defend every inch of NATO". #Ukraine is not NATO. Blinken did not speak about "defending Ukraine" coz game is over.
#BreakingNews:
In #Ukraine, Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Enerdohar (the largest in Europe) is NOT on fire. The six reactors are untouched and only the administrative building has been taking fire.
So no panic and no fake news.
For every information you come across in this war, take a deep breath before jumping on it. Fake news was expected from the first minute but it is surprisingly developing.
Day 9 of war: #Russia is at 20-25 km from the city centre with a tank and 67 km-long armoured convoys waiting for the results of the ongoing negotiation with #Ukraine delegation.
The negotiators agreed for a safe passage from 08:00 am to 19:00 pm, when the curfew enter in force +
Day 8. #Russia directing ops around Bucha,Volnovakha, Kakhovka,Kupyansk,Nova Kakhovka,Mariupol, Okhtyrka,Sumy,Chernihiv,Chuhuiv. Kherson is under Russia.Roads to Odesa,only remaining major port & Mykolaiv r open.Russia then can join forces surrounding Kyiv&cut the country in half
Pro-Jihadists in #Idlib, #Syria, encouraged by #Israel/i (Tweet below), expressing their will to travel to #Ukraine and fight as mercenaries.
Ahmad Zakayev, a forgotten name from the 1990s who fought against the Russians during the First Chechen War, declared during an interview with the Russian-language, US-funded Current Time TV, that Chechens are ready to defend #Ukraine against #Russia.
