To make sure the war lasts as long as possible, the #US is sending secretly acquired Soviet air defence equipment to #Ukraine thehill.com/policy/defense…
The official spokesperson or #Russia Defence Ministry site has never reported this 👇.
It was reported in an article written by Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper quoting sources at the MoD.
Russia had summoned and told the #US Ambassador in #Moscow John Sullivan, that relations between the two countries were on the “on the verge of a breach”. #Russia delivered a formal complaint, apparently over Joe Biden’s claim that Vladimir Putin was a “war criminal”
After breaking off relations with Russia after the 1917 revolution, the US recognised the Bolshevik-led administration in 1933. #Washington and #Moscow have always maintained diplomatic relations, even during the most perilous of times as the Cuban missile crisis of 1962.

The UK provide £4.1 million for the BBC World Service as part of a cross-government effort to spread disinformation on the #Russia and #Ukraine war, as well as policing support for the International Criminal Court's investigation into war crimes that previous US admin sanctioned.
One of the greatest aspects of #Russia's tactic is that the Kremlin allowed #Ukraine’s telecommunications infrastructure to continue operating. Many cities retain a good proportion of pre-war connectivity, which means Russia is avoiding the destruction of the infrastructure.
The still functioning internet has allowed Ukrainians to keep in touch with their families separated by the war and to keep in contact with the outside world. #Russia's permission for #Ukraine to keep its networks running is also an important source of intelligence gathering.

Listen to Professor John J. Mearsheimer, the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science at the #US University of Chicago explaining the origin of the Ukraine-Russia war: "It is all about NATO expansion"

via @YouTube
"We are encouraging the Ukrainians to resist. We are not going to fight for them, they are on their own, but we are going to fight for the last Ukrainians, we are going to arm them and hope they can hang as long as possible", said Professor Mearsheimer.
"The #Russian will crush the Ukrainians because it is an existential threat to Russia to include Ukraine into NATO. When a great power feels threatened, the Russian will do everything to win and are sending signals how seriously they are taking this war".

Why did Food prices jump 20.7% yr/yr to hit a record high in Feb according to the UN?

It is due to the #US and #EU sanctions that will never change the course of events in #Ukraine. It is the US imposing its hegemony, careless about the consequences.

The #US "democracy" at its best: firing #Ukraine general prosecutor Yuriy Lutsenko, considered one of Ukraine’s most promising pro-Western politicians who helped lead the country’s 1st major anti-Russia protest movement, known as the "Orange Revolution".

In 2010, Yuri Lutsenko was incarcerated for his political opposition to the Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, and his release became a cause célèbre for the European envoys who’d visited him in prison.
‘Fuck the EU’: US diplomat Victoria Nuland said. theguardian.com/world/video/20…
The #US main aim was to seek an opportunity to impose sanctions on #Russia to weaken it because it has prospered and started to be involved in World affairs that were the "US exclusivity".
#Ukraine was the opportunity to drag Russia into a confrontation with the West.

Three missiles hit the western Ukrainian Danylo Halytskyi International Airport of #Lviv, one of the hubs for the international military supply for #Ukraine to continue its proxy war against #Russia and drag the diplomatic negotiations.

A small specimen of the "fog of war".

This film is widely shared as #Russia victims of morning bombing on the Capital #Kyiv and others on #Marupol in the south. In reality, it is a March 2021 clip by an artist.

The destruction caused by a huge explosion of #Beirut #Lebanon has become a #Russia/n destruction of #kharkiv #Ukraine.
