"it is practically impossible to form an objective opinion on the reality on the ground...
Govts & digital platforms...are trying to limit access to information online. It seems that their goal is to support a single narrative of the facts." #Ukraine
"Ukrainian soldiers and militias have extensively used civilians as human shields. The testimonies I have collected are dozens and the vast majority confirm it. There is no trace of this fact checking work in the mainstream press." #Ukraine
"I am an independent reporter. My work has been recognized internationally. But I cannot work in #Ukraine because I am on a blacklist, #Myrotvorets, in which I am defined as a “criminal” – just for doing my job and for sharing my point of view...documented by 8years in the field"

Canadian sniper Wali is back in Canada after spending two months in #Ukraine, including time in the Donbas. Like others bofore him, he describes a total disorganization of the foreign legion, lack of communications, lack of weapons, and lack of training. lapresse.ca/actualites/202…
The war is a terrible deception, said Wali. #Ukraine
Wali on his time fighting for #Ukraine: To find weapons, transport and food, you are on your own, you have to know someone who knows someone who knows someone. This best describes Ukraine.

The #US is twisting arms all around among its allies to make them ban Russian oil imports. But, as #Japan's economy minister said, each country is in a different situation when it comes to energy consumption (meaning industry and manufacturing).
The US is inviting its allies to commit economic suicide. Some, like the EU, led by Ursula von der Leyen, a former gynecologist, are willingly taking the option without much thought.
Remember when #vonderLeyen was nominated #EU commission chief how she was marginalized and taken lightly? She even threw a tantrum when visiting Turkey with EU council president Charles Michel because she thought she was not treated as equal to him. 1/

The global South defies the West on #Ukraine.
mondediplo.com/2022/05/02ukra…
"Western demands that (the global south) make costly sacrifices by cutting off economic ties with #Russia to uphold a 'rules-based order' have begotten an allergic reaction. That order hasn’t been rules-based; instead, it has allowed the #US to violate intern'l law with impunity"
On the other hand, #Russia is trusted in the global south.
"Russia has become a key interlocutor in all regional crises as the only power with ongoing relations with all participants, including those at odds, or even at war, with each other"

Absolutely important interview with the scientist who conducted the Danish study about the effect (or the non effect) of mRNA vaccines on all-cause mortality. unherd.com/thepost/study-…
Vaccines have effects beyond their specific effect against a specific disease. This effect can be seen by studying all-cause mortality after delivering a vaccine in a population. The effect of vaccines on all-cause mortality can be positive or negative. #mRNA #Moderna #Pfizer
Live vaccines contain a weakened version of the pathogen, they seem to decrease all-cause mortality

Non live vaccines, those that contain only a portion of the pathogen or a deactivated pathogen, seem to have a negative effect on all-cause mortality. #mRNA vaccines are non live

"The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has revised down its eurozone growth forecast for 2022 to 2.8 percent from 3.9 percent in its January estimate, with the region's biggest economy, #Germany, taking a heavy hit." english.news.cn/20220503/ba91c… #Ukraine
"The shockwaves of the conflict hurt countries like #Italy and #Germany more than other European nations because they had 'relatively large manufacturing sectors and greater dependence on energy imports from Russia'" #Ukraine
"Sanctions never work," Geraci said. "To solve this issue, we have to use diplomacy with #Russia. We don't just need to go to #Kiev. We need to go to #Moscow."
