The battle of #Mariupol and #Azovstal is over: The #Ukraine army command has confirmed in its social networks that its servicemen - a large portion of them r members of the Neo-Nazi ‘Azov regiment’ - holed up at the Azovstal steelworks in Mariupol have been ordered to surrender.
#Ukraine neo-Nazi group uniform features Nazi insignia and its members have tattoos, the swastika. Its commander Andrey Biletsky believes it’s #Ukraine’s mission to “lead the white races of the world in a final crusade against Semite-led Untermenschen [inferior humans]”.
The first stage of surrender was completed: 264 soldiers left #Azovstal. There are now 53 wounded servicemen in a hospital in Novoazovsk and 211 soldiers in Yelenovka, both of which are part of the #Donetsk People’s Republic.
According to the Deputy Minister of Defense of #Ukraine Anna Malyar and the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, those who surrender will be exchanged for Russian prisoners of war, taken captive by Kyiv. However, the terms of the exchange have not yet been decided.
Moscow has not yet made any public statements about an exchange & the Ukrainian side avoided the expression “surrender” for #Azovtal defender.
The battle for Mariupol will be effectively over & Russia will have gained total control of the strategically vital city #Mariupol.
Today, it seems I touched a sensitive "Neo-Nazi button.
Keep trying.
If you think #Turkey will stop #Finland and #Sweden from joining @NATO, you are making a serious mistake. More in my forthcoming article on why Finland decided to join the #US-led military org and how #Russia's soft hand in the first weeks of war contributed to...
U will read only about Ukrainian civilians killed in the war but not about heavy losses the Ukrainian army is suffering from, nor how over 10000 Ukrainian soldiers r almost surrounded in the Donbas region.
This is the new "Art of War" relying mainly on manipulated propaganda.
#China and #Russia should draw important conclusions from this ongoing war in #Ukraine and prepare for future decades of aggressive and hostile propaganda. Both countries should work on establishing an alternative media to counter the western (fake) narrative.
Nazis (and their supporters) should be brought to justice and stand in front of a court of law to pay for their crimes.

#Lebanon parliamentary elections: #Hezbollah and its allies, including the Christian of @tayyar_official won 60 seats at the Parliament, while the allies of #SaudiArabia and the #US, notwithstanding millions of dollars spent to win the majority, won 42 seats.
For more than 12 years, #Hezbollah had 13 MPs and has always won 12-13 MPs in every parliamentary election. Therefore, saying "Hezbollah lost the majority seats at the parliament" is similar to saying Neo-Nazis were evacuated not surrendered in #Azovstal.
#Hezbollah's Shia partner, the AMAL movement, has 17 seats (as agreed with Hezbollah for over a decade) & continues winning 16-17 seats in every election.
The fight was on the #Christian seat: the pro-US-Saudi-Israel group versus the US-sanctioned group led by @tayyar_official
By 1945, #US’s war to contain #Japan’s Asian expansionism, retaliate for Pearl Harbor & drop 2 nuclear bombs to impose its World hegemony had become a project to eliminate European empires, lead global economic order, colonise Europe & the ME and keep them away from #Moscow.
The world is definitely far from being a safer place with #Finald and #Sweden joining the military organisation @NATO, ending decades of neutrality.
#EU leaders are risking the continent's safety, provoking & challenging #Russia instead of engaging in a serious dialogue.
#Russia doesn't need to confront @NATO almost 2 million soldiers w/ classical weapons when & if confrontation wld be the last way out. This is the beginning of the end of stability.
For what? To protect the #US unipolar hegemony of the world.
#Israel sniper killed @AlJazeera long-time correspondent in Palestine Shireen Abu Aq'la with a bullet in the head during an Israeli raid in the Palestinian camp of Jenin this morning.
There was no gunfire in the area but a sniper shot the dual US-Palestinian national journalist, born in #Jerusalem#Palestine. No clashes were nearby.
Will the @joebiden administration move against this murder and other crimes by #Israel?
Since the year 2000, #Israel killed 28 journalists while exerting their profession. All Israeli crimes r unaccountable according to the (non-existing) International law.
All, like @ShireenNasri that was assassinated today, were wearing a visible PRESS sign when shot and killed.
On the 12th of May, Finnish President Sauli Niinistö is expected to announce his country's accession to NATO, followed by the approval of the Finnish parliament. This step will be considered a provocation by Russia.
#EU learning piracy from the #US
EU’s high representative for foreign policy Josep Borrell said the US had taken control of billions of dollars of #Afghan central bank's assets & that it would be logical to consider similar steps with #Russia’s reserves. ft.com/content/82b044…
Always remember why there is a war in #Europe:
