@WSJ "Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich and Ukrainian peace negotiators suffered symptoms of suspected poisoning after a meeting in Kyiv earlier this month, people familiar with the matter said." #Ukraine #UkraineWar #Russia #RussiaUkraine #Ukraina
wsj.com/articles/roman…
@WSJ Following the meeting in the Ukrainian capital, Mr. Abramovich, who has shuttled among Moscow, Lviv and other negotiating venues, as well as at least two senior members of the Ukrainian team developed symptoms that included red eyes, constant and painful tearing, and peeling skin
Bellingcat: "poisoning with chemical weapons"
My analysis in @larazon_es : "Use of chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons in Ukraine would be a major escalation of the Russia-Ukraine war, and it could prompt a military intervention by NATO in this war. This would mean a real possibility of a war between Russia and NATO" 1/
My analysis in La Razon interview: "I think that Russia won’t use chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons in Ukraine for this reason. And such use of weapons of mass destruction would produce a major blowback for Russia." 2/

"In particular, it [use chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons in Ukraine] would undermine the Russia’s goal of a regime change in Ukraine and false justifications by Russia of the invasion by the need to stop development of biological and nuclear weapons by Ukraine." 3/
"A U.S. official said on Monday that intelligence suggests the sickening of Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich and Ukrainian peace negotiators was due to an environmental factor, not poisoning."

"Ukraine is prepared to discuss adopting a neutral status as part of a peace deal with Russia but such a pact would have to be guaranteed by third parties and put to a referendum, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said." 1/

"“Security guarantees and neutrality, non-nuclear status of our state. We are ready to go for it. This is the most important point,” Zelenskyy said. Zelenskyy said Ukraine refused to discuss certain other Russian demands, such as the demilitarization of the country." 2/
#Ukraine
#Zelenskyy "ruled out trying to recapture all Russian-held territory by force, saying it would lead to a third world war, and said he wanted to reach a “compromise” over the eastern Donbass region, held by Russian-backed forces since 2014." 3/

In my live @CBCNews interview, I said that #Putin claims that Ukrainian government & military are Nazis are false & used to justify invasion. #Azov that was organized by neo-Nazi Patriot of #Ukraine is 1 unit. But its ex-leader threatened #Zelensky against peace deal with #Russia
@CBCNews I said in my @CBCNews TV interview that #azovregiment is small % of #Ukrainian forces. But my academic studies show that far right has outsize power. #Zelensky abandoned his election promise of peaceful conflict resolution in part because of threats from far right in #Ukraine.

My @CBCNews interview: "NATO exercises near Russian borders could be used by Russia to respond and escalate" if Putin decides escalation is in his interest, said Ivan Katchanovski, a political scientist at the University of Ottawa 1/

@CBCNews has written extensively about conflict in his native Ukraine. Like all wars, this one will end someday. Katchanovski said Ukrainians are counting on something like a Marshall Plan for their country - a massive injection of foreign capital to fund the country's post-war recovery 2
My @CBCNews interview: "It would be very helpful to access private money," said Katchanovski, pointing to private fundraising efforts that already have raised significant amounts of money, such as the one organized by Ukrainian-American Mila Kunis 3/ #Ukraine #Russia #Ukrainians

Yes. I suggested in my interviews and publications before & after start of #RussiaUkraineWar that granting #Ukraine EU membership prospects in exchange for neutrality & ending #Donbas war could be crucial element of peaceful resolution of #UkraineRussiaConflict

#UkraineRussiaWar
"Such an agreement could offer Ukraine a path to membership in the EU, provided it fulfills accession criteria—... democracy, the rule of law, human rights—in exchange for agreeing not to seek NATO membership and to resolve the conflict in the Donbas..." canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…
"A peaceful conflict resolution can be done via an international agreement that offers Ukraine European Union membership prospects provided that it fulfills accession criteria [democracy] in exchange for neutral status and resolving the conflict in Donbas" truthout.org/articles/lies-…

Democracy: #Zelensky & his National Security and Defense Council of #Ukraine suspend activities of 11 opposition parties for "ties to Russia". They include Opposition Platform for Life, Party of Shariy & Opposition Bloc which condemned #Russian invasion. pravda.com.ua/news/2022/03/2…
Banned #Ukrainian parties by #Zelensky: Opposition Platform - For Life (2d largest faction), Shariy Party, Ours, Opposition Bloc, Left Opposition, Union of Left Forces, State, Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine, Socialist Party of Ukraine, Socialists & Bloc of Vladimir Saldo.
Democracy: All #Ukrainian TV news channels now must broadcast United News marathon around clock. #Zelensky signed decree on "single information policy" in #Ukraine. It's "implemented by merging all national TV channels" that have news programs & analytics.
