...which, in Resolution No. ES-11/1 dated 2 March 2022, as adopted by majority vote (141 votes for, 5 against, 35 abstentions, 12 absent) deplores in the strongest terms the #aggression by the #RussianFederation against #Ukraine.../2
...and demands its complete and unconditional withdrawal from the territory of Ukraine. Most members strongly condemned the war in Ukraine and stressed it is causing immense human suffering and exacerbating existing facilities in the global economy.../3
...constraining growth, increasing inflation, disrupting supply chains, heightening energy and food insecurity, and elevating financial stability risks. There were other views and different assessments of the situation and sanctions.../4
Recognizing that the G20 is not the forum to resolve security issues, we acknowledge that security issues can have significant consequences for the global economy. It is essential to uphold international law and the multilateral system that safeguards peace and stability.../5
This includes defending all the Purposes and Principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and adhering to international humanitarian law, including the protection of civilians and infrastructure in armed conflicts.../6
The use or threat of use of nuclear weapons is inadmissible. The peaceful resolution of conflicts, efforts to address crises, as well as diplomacy and dialogue, are vital. Today’s era must not be of war."/END
Perhaps, the best strategy to help #Ukrainians now is to improve the transportation infrastructure between #Ukraine and the #EU. Many individuals, initiatives, and organizations ready to help and to take the risk will use new trains and roads to flexibly do what is necessary. /1
One could imagine direct high speed @Ukrzaliznytsia trains from @rzeszow_airport & other EU airports near Ukraine's western border to Kyiv or even further east, and with direct flights to these airports from Berlin, Brussels, London, Paris, Stockholm, New York, Toronto, etc. /2
A strategy to enable Ukrainians to better help themselves as well as to ease the activities of thousands of governmental and non-governmental pro-Ukrainian structures can have cumulative & spill over effects going beyond what one can currently imagine./END
Zutreffende Beobachtung. Es war insbesondere seit 2014 skandalös, was und wer alles in den Medien als legitim zum Thema Ukrainekrieg präsentiert wurde. Teils wurde der Bock zum Gärtner gemacht und es der kriegstreibenden Partei erlaubt, öffentlich sein Opfer zu diskreditieren. /1
Repräsentanten russischer Staatsorgane und -medien wurde über Monate allwöchentlich eine Bühne in öffentlich-rechtlichen sowie privaten deutschen Medien geboten, um ihre explizite Ukrainverleumdung und implizite Kriegshetze (teils GEZ-gebührenfinanziert) zu verbreiten. /2
Nicht genug, dass deutsche Medien damt eine imperialistische Propagandakampagne zur Vorbereitung, Rechtfertigung und Begleitung von notdürftig verschleierten militärischen Überfällen, verschiedenen Gebietsannexionen und Staatsterror gegen ukrainische Zivilisten unterstützten. /3
THREAD: An intriguing appointment 1. Russia's new commander of the so-called special military operation in #Ukraine, #SergeySurovikin, led at Moscow in August 1991 a military unit bloodily defending a #Soviet imperialist usurpation to preserve the empire. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Su…
Are the #Ukrainians really THAT good? - A thread:
1./ This is the second time that #Ukraine's security services have, according to the #Kremlin's narrative, performed a miracle:
2./ On 20 August, they exploded a bomb killing Daria Dugina in the Odintsovsky District where Putin's residence Novo-Ogariovo is located. On 8 October, they blew up a truck loaded with explosives on the Kerch Strait Bridge, one of the world's most well-protected infrastructures.
3./ After almost a quarter of a century under Putin's reign, the FSB was, according to this story, not able to prevent either of these two daring Ukrainian actions, at a time when Russia wages a war of annihilation against Ukraine.
The #Ukrainian security services have other things to do these days than risking the life of their agents by assassinating #Russian uncivil society activists in Moscow. /2
One of the possible escalation scenarios in the next weeks or months is a repetition, on larger scale, of the 1999 apartment bombings that brought #Putin his first presidency in 2000-2004. /2
