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.

Interesting
#Russia's bombers could devastate #Ukraine but it is holding back. "Why? the facts show that Putin is not intentionally attacking civilians, that perhaps he is mindful that he needs to limit damage in order to leave an out for negotiations." newsweek.com/putins-bombers…

So far #Russia hasn't announced its objectives. In the first weeks of this war, we saw a concentration of attacks on Donbas that is mostly under Russia's control. What is happening in #Maruipol is an example for all other cities willing to fight back.

#Russia's forces moving very slowly, intentionally, around #Kyiv the capital. That means Russian troops are heading towards two objectives:
1. Full control of Donbas (previously on 35% under separatists)
2. Continue the war w/o a time limit until the gov surrendered.

#US President is now in #Europe to walk under his "Arch of Victory". He has succeeded in submitting the EU under his thumb. Biden's managed to bring order & control over his hesitant European allies. The world has turned into 2 blocks now: West (+allies) & the rest of the World.

The "Polish proposal" (is an American test actually) to send "international peacekeepers into #Ukraine is a joke and a bone to the media.

No peacekeepers can walk into Ukraine without the UN approval, including #Russia which will never approve.

Peacekeepers forces have worked for the #US agenda in many places around the world.

#Russia is aware of the US move and warned that it could lead to a direct clash between Russian and NATO forces.

The objective is to see more #Ukrainians killed and for the war to last as long as possible:

Believe it or not, Europe delivers lethal weapons to #Ukraine for the war to last longer and #Russia continues to supply 104 million cubic metres (down from 106.5 mcm the previous day) of natural gas to #Europe and/via Ukraine in line with requests from European consumers.

#Europe has one week to decide if it wants the gas from #Russia and pays in #Rubel or turn to the #US as the provider of liquidity gas that European states are not prepared for.

Russia said there is no point in using the US Dollar or Euros.

But....but...but why #NATO leaders want #Russia to stop the war in #Ukraine if Ukrainians r winning the war, according to mainstream media, retired US generals, western academics and analysts?

I thought Russia is losing, so Let Russia fight a lost war no?

#Europe is doomed:
The #US, which respects no law and is never accountable for any action, "promised" (for how long) to supply Europe with 15 bn cubic meters of gas by the end of 2022.
Europe is offering the last part of its neck to the Americans to be under US admin mercy. Nice!
