#Scoop @BILD just revealed that the “industry list” of weapons, German companies offer to Ukraine, was sharply cut short by @OlafScholz’ government before giving 🇺🇦 the chance to buy arms in Germany.
Among others, all heavy weapons were removed from it. bild.de/bild-plus/poli…
While Ukraine was offered Marder IFV, Boxer APC and even Leopard-2 MBT as well as Panzerhaubitze 2000 by German companies, it is not allowed to buy any of these systems in Germany now, despite having all of them on a “needs” list, handed by 🇺🇦 MoD to 🇩🇪 MoD in late March.
Even worse, Kyiv sent two more desperate requests for heavy weapons to Berlin on April 9 and April 16 - just three days before the Scholz speech. Both of them were ignored and our @Bundeskanzler falsely claimed yesterday that the “industry list” was coordinated with the 🇺🇦 MoD.
Las but not least: What about your country?
Where is the “fourth power” / critical press in France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal and other NATO states, scrutinizing what their respective governments are doing and not doing to help Ukraine against the Russian invasion? …

Schlimme, unmenschliche Szenen ... russische Verbrecher „evakuieren“ mehr als 100 ukrainische Zivilisten, die die letzten acht Wochen in ihren Kellern nahe „Asowstal“ verbracht haben ... der Zustand, in dem die Menschen sind, ist kaum vorstellbar ... Verdammtes #Drecksregime.
Aufnahmen von hier:
Und natürlich bleibt unklar, ob die Menschen wirklich nach Saporischschja evakuiert oder nach Russland entführt werden, ob sie wirklich von dort kommen oder vorher aus einem anderen Gebiet Mariupols dort hin verfrachtet wurden für die Propaganda-Aufnahmen. Usw.
#Breaking
German chancellor @OlafScholz gives press conference on the situation in #Ukraine, praises himself, says there is no disagreement and promises nothing.
Cryptic: He claims Germany “supports” NATO partners in giving Ukraine Soviet weapons and artillery munitions.
Asked if German would deliver Leopard tanks to fight Russian tanks in Donbas, he says, “look at our partners Italy, France and Spain. They came to the same conclusion as we”, continues, “eastern NATO partners have more suitable weapons to deliver”.
Says “if there are things we can deliver, which make sense, we could bla bla”.
Now says, 🇩🇪 would replace former Soviet arms from Eastern European partners after they were given to 🇺🇦, with our arms.
Clearly: He wants to keep his hands clean in front of Putin. No 🇩🇪 arms to 🇺🇦 .
Videos von heute Nacht sollen den Beginn der brutalen Offensive Russlands Donbas zeigen.
Erstes Video von MLRS-Attacke aus Donezk.
Präsident Selenski hat den Beginn der „zweiten Phase“ bestätigt.
Zweites Video soll mächtige Einschläge bei Slowjansk zeigen.
Russische Kanäle bestätigen „Beginn der zweite Phase der Operation in der Ukraine“.
Angeblich in fünf Provinzen parallel.
Die Chefin von RT und RT DE - einer staatlichen 🇷🇺 Propaganda-Anstalt, die weiterhin von @RA_Medienrecht gegen @BILD vertreten wird, obwohl der Laden schon lange sein Mandat hätte niederlegen können.
Aber er will die Kreml-Krieger unbedingt zum Sieg über die freie Presse führen.
„Nobel“: Die deutschen Anwälte der russischen Informationskrieger wollen die Einnahmen aus den Verfahren gegen BILD spenden.
Trotzdem verteidigen sie Putins Regime weiter gegen unsere Recherche zur Spionage gegen den mittlerweile inhaftieren Alexei @navalny.
Dieser Herr meint:
Selbst nachdem sie vor dem Landesgericht Frankfurt zu 90% gegen uns verloren haben, „glauben“ sie ihren russischen Mandanten mehr als Ex-Mitarbeiter @Daniel_Lange_ & unserer Recherche und haben die Sache vors Oberlandesgericht getragen, um Moskau doch noch zum Sieg zu verhelfen.
Kremlin affiliated media first proudly reported the #Kramatorsk massacre, claiming their missile hit an ammunition train that arrived yesterday evening.
After the appearance of civilian casualties, they started blaming Ukraine.
Same story as with #MH17 in 2014. #PutinAtWar
Note that they also initially showed the Tochka-U with their claim, minutes before claiming Russian led forces don’t use these SS-21 ballistic missiles.
Also note that the initial source of the Russian(!) attack also works for Russian state news channel “Pervoi Kanal“. So nobody should claim, ANNA and their staff in occupied Ukraine are no official mouthpieces for the Putin regime.

Massive Russian forces with close air support, trying to storm #Barvenkove and #Sloviansk.
Confirmed by Ukrainian general staff and Russian propagandists. #PutinAtWar
One video source.
Close air support make ambushes like we have seen them in Chernihiv and alike impossible.
Ukrainians would need to stage more complex attacks with a combination of MANPADS and ATGM to kill air and ground forces.
Such attacks are so far not happening it seems.
Three Russian BM-21 firing salvoes at Ukrainian forces in Donetsk oblast.
Bayraktar needed ...
