NYT leak omits Seymour Hersh report & throws #Ukraine under bus: "New intelligence reviewed by U.S. officials suggests that a pro-Ukrainian group carried out the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines last year."
#Russia #Nordstream #NordStream2 #Ukraina nytimes.com/2023/03/07/us/…
NYT leak mentions Hersh report just to deny it: "Hersh published an article on the newsletter platform Substack concluding that the United States carried out the operation at the direction of Mr. Biden. U.S. officials say Mr. Biden and his top aides did not authorize a mission."
Another leak in German media: "Nord Stream investigations: Traces lead to Ukraine. Investigators have identified the boat from which the Nord Stream attacks were carried out. Apparently it was rented by a company owned by Ukrainians." #Ukraine #Russia zeit.de/politik/auslan…
"It is said to be a yacht rented from a company based in Poland, apparently owned by two Ukrainians. According to the investigation, the secret operation at sea was carried out by a team of six people. The assassins used professionally forged passports." #Nordstream #Ukraine
"Western secret service is said to have sent a tip to European partner services in the autumn according to which a Ukrainian commando was responsible for the destruction. There are said to have been further intelligence indications that a pro-Ukrainian group could be responsible"
And now #Nordstream false-flag claim: "However, security circles cannot rule out the possibility that it could also be a false flag operation - the trail is intended to lead to Ukraine on purpose."
Looks like Hollywood: "Western intelligence had known for months the name of an alleged Ukrainian sponsor who supposedly financed the sabotage of the pipelines. NATO officials hid the names of those involved to save Ukraine from a public row with Germany." thetimes.co.uk/article/west-n…
"In Nord Stream attack, US officials use proxy media to blame proxy Ukraine. One month after Seymour Hersh reported that the US blew up the Nord Stream pipelines, US officials find a scapegoat in Ukraine and stenographers in the New York Times" #NordStream mate.substack.com/p/in-nord-stre…
"German Spiegel showed the yacht believed to be connected to the explosions on the Nord Streams. The vessel on which the saboteurs are believed to have transported their explosive devices is the sailing yacht "Andromeda."" #NordStream #Ukraine️ #Russia pravda.com.ua/news/2023/03/9… Image
"The explosive devices for the Nord Stream explosions are said to have been transported on a yacht that was rented out through a charter company on Rügen. According to SPIEGEL information, BKA officials questioned witnesses on the island." #NordStream

"They mentioned a previous quote from the investigation that stated that up to 500kg of explosives was used at each Nord Stream 1 site. If this is true, that would make the use of a Bavaria Cruiser 50 to perform this sabotage very unlikely." #NordStream oalexanderdk.substack.com/p/the-nord-str…
"Transporting this amount of explosive on a 15m yacht along with 6 people and large amount of tanks and equipment for the dives would be close to impossible, not to mention the task of moving this amount of explosives from the yacht down to the pipes" #NordStream #Ukraine #Russia
Seymour Hersh reacts to @nytimes article that Ukrainian private group blew-up Nord Stream pipelines on their own. #NordStream #Ukraine #Russia
My tweet is in @BERLINER_KURIER : "German Spiegel showed the yacht believed to be connected to the explosions on the Nord Streams. The vessel on which the saboteurs are believed to have transported their explosive devices is the sailing yacht "Andromeda.""

"None of the emerging narratives surrounding the Nord Stream pipeline bombing really contradicts Seymour Hersh’s central allegation that Biden authorized the operation."
#NordStream #Ukraine #Russia #NordstreamSabotage #UkraineWar #UkraineRussiaWar theintercept.com/2023/03/10/nor…
"For the three explosions that were committed, it needs at least 1,500 kilograms. It is impossible to lower it manually, and the Andromeda does not have a crane to lower such a weight underwater." strana.today/news/427820-po…
"How was a sabotage group able to transport one and a half tons of explosives from army stocks through Poland and Germany without coming to the attention of the special services or the police? For deep-sea work, specialized vessels are needed with stabilization at the dive site."

Iryna Farion, far-right professor of Lviv university & ex-member of Ukraine parliament from Svoboda party is seriously wounded during assassination attempt. She pressed to eliminate Russian language & was recently fired for going after Russian speakers in neo-Nazi-led Azov brigade.

"President Volodymyr Zelenskyi said that doctors are fighting for Iryna Farion's life, her condition is serious. The attack on her was classified as attempted murder." pravda.com.ua/news/2024/07/1…Image
Maidan snipers were reported to be in Farion's room in far-right Svoboda controlled Hotel Ukraina during Maidan massacre in Ukraine. Ukrainian media report revealed that BBC journalist saw Security Service of Ukraine warning not to enter hotel room 1109.

One of Svoboda leaders admitted that Iryna Farion, then a member of the Ukrainian parliament from this far right party, lived in this suite at the time of the Maidan massacre. BBC correspondent was quoted saying that after his crew was shot from the 11th floor of this hotel he went to this floor and saw a note with a warning not to enter the suite number 1109 because of a request from the Security Service of Ukraine. This was the same suite which was searched by Maidan activists.

This photo of suspected assassin of Farion is published by Lviv & other Telegram channels. Her neighbor said that similar dressed person was sitting near entrance to her apartment building in Lviv for the last 2-3 weeks. She was shot in the head & is on life support in critical condition.Image

Now @NYT publishes drafts of Ukraine Russia peace deal that was close to signing in spring 2022 but still omits that Boris Johnson & Biden administration blocked it. NYT cites statement from viral video that I posted: “We managed to find a very real compromise,” Oleksandr Chalyi, a member of the Ukrainian negotiating team, said at a panel discussion in Geneva last December. “We were very close in the middle of April, in the end of April, to finalize our war with some peaceful settlement.” But it omits other sources which revealed this peace deal & which I posted for more than 2 years & which had some 25,000,000 views but were deliberately denied or not reported by the media. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
archive.is/mysTh#selectio…Image
@NYT This statement is finally reported by @NYT but it omits that it became viral after I posted it several months ago, and my tweet had some 2,000,000 views.
This revelation by ex Israeli prime minister was not reported by @NYT even though it had some 20,000,000 views. Fake Community Note is still there even after head & members of Ukrainian delegation at peace talks confirmed it.

"Canada Says It Won’t Give Arms To Azov, Despite U.S. Policy Change. “Our position remains that we are not – nor will we – be providing support to Azov and affiliated entities.” Ivan Katchanovski, a professor specializing in Ukrainian politics at the University of Ottawa, told The Maple that both the Azov Brigade and the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade are “basically part of the same Azov Movement, which is led by [Biletsky’s] neo-Nazi party.”

There is no evidence, he said, that any Western country has banned military aid from going to the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade. He added that DND’s statements about not giving support to the Azov Brigade should also be taken with a large grain of salt.

Katchanovski also cast doubt on the U.S. State Department’s claim that Azov has not committed human rights abuses. The National Corps party, Azov’s political wing, has been involved in attacks against Roma people and other violent actions.

In 2018, a U.S. State Department report noted that a Ukrainian group established with support from the National Corps party “attacked and destroyed a Romani camp in Kyiv after its residents failed to respond to their ultimatum to leave the area within 24 hours.”

The U.S. State Department, Katchanovski said, has tried to deflect concerns about its recent move by misleadingly suggesting that Azov Brigade is a newly created formation with no relation to its predecessor units.

“This is quite unbelievable,” Katchanovski said. “This is open support and endorsement by the Biden administration of open neo-Nazis in Ukraine.” readthemaple.com/canada-insists…Image

"Canada’s Department of National Defence (DND) says it will maintain its stated policy of not providing military support to Ukraine’s neo-Nazi led Azov Brigade, despite reports this week that the United States has lifted a ban on weapons transfers to the far-right military unit.

“Our position remains that we are not – nor will we – be providing support to Azov and affiliated entities,” DND spokesperson Kened Sadiku wrote in an email to The Maple on Tuesday, echoing the ministry’s previous statements about the military unit."readthemaple.com/canada-insists…

Leader of neo-Nazi Azov movement, which is armed by Biden administration, called "heroes" by Zelensky, Boris Johnson & media & greeted by top universities, wrote that Nazi ideology is "great idea," "[slur for Jews] dominance of power and economy," Arab, Asian, Black & Muslim migrants threaten "White European" countries, including Ukraine, "White race" is "superior," "historical mission of our Nation... is to head and lead the White Peoples of the world in the last crusade for their existence a march against the Semitic-led subhumans," "Jewishness as an economic and political parasite," "Social-Nationalism is based on" "Sociality, Racism, Great Power," & combines Nationalism & National Socialism, etc.

He never denounced any of these statements which were published by him in Ukrainian on website of his neo-Nazi Patriot of Ukraine or in collection of his articles, entitled "Word of White Leader." These archived publications are publicly available but are omitted, denied or whitewashed.

Quote from his article in 2013 collection, entitled "Word of White Leader" (p. 26): "Therefore, we claim that we have developed the correct worldview and we have an ideology under the correct name of Social-Nationalism. But only then will our ideology come to life, our name will only then become great, when there will be thousands of young fanatical apostles who will lead the fight regardless of their own well-being and even life. Nationalism and National Socialism are therefore great ideas that they had just such apostles." web.archive.org/web/2014092404…Image
Quote from his article: "The historical mission of our Nation in this turning point of the century is to head and lead the White Peoples of the world in the last crusade for their existence, a march against the Semitic-led subhumans."

Media, info warriors such as Likhachov & Wikipedia whitewashers of far-right in Ukraine denied that this was his statement simply because he denied that he said this & that he is neo-Nazi, anti-Semite & racist. In fact, this statement is from his article, entitled "Ukrainian racial Social-Nationalism is the ideology of the "Patriot of Ukraine" Organization." The archived version of his article with this statement is publicly available via the link provided.web.archive.org/web/2018092406…

Now male dual citizens of US, Canada, etc. & Ukraine are banned from leaving Ukraine & can be conscripted by force with de facto US/West approval: "US Embassy in Ukraine: men with dual citizenship will no longer be able to leave the country. The U.S. Embassy in Ukraine has warned that Ukraine has revoked the "residence abroad" exception that previously allowed certain Ukrainian men between the ages of 18 and 60 to leave the country.

Source: US Embassy in Ukraine
With this change, men with dual citizenship, including those living in the US, will no longer be able to leave the country.

According to the message of the embassy, ​​Ukrainian legislation does not recognize dual citizenship. Therefore, American-Ukrainian persons with dual citizenship, while in Ukraine, are considered exclusively as citizens of Ukraine, and they are subject to the rights and obligations of citizens of Ukraine. That is, under martial law in Ukraine, men aged 18 to 60 are prohibited from leaving the country.

The embassy noted that previously persons with dual American-Ukrainian citizenship of this group could enter Ukraine and then leave it if they deregistered their place of residence in Ukraine and registered their place of residence in the United States. As of June 1, this exception was canceled.

Literally: "If you are in Ukraine and cannot leave the country, shelter in place and obey all local regulations.

If you are not currently in Ukraine, we strongly recommend that male US citizens between the ages of 18 and 60 who also hold Ukrainian citizenship or are applying for Ukrainian citizenship and do not wish to remain in Ukraine indefinitely refrain from any travel to of Ukraine. There is an extremely high risk that you will not be allowed to leave even with a US passport."

US government to dual US & Ukraine citizens" "The U.S. Embassy is limited in our ability to influence Ukrainian law, including the application of martial law and the mobilization law to Ukrainian citizens. If you are in Ukraine and cannot leave the country, shelter in place and obey all local orders. If you are not currently in Ukraine, we strongly recommend against all travel to Ukraine by U.S. citizen males aged 18 to 60 who also have Ukrainian citizenship or a claim to Ukrainian citizenship and who do not wish to stay in Ukraine indefinitely. There is an extremely high risk you will not be allowed to depart, even with a U.S. passport." ua.usembassy.gov/message-for-u-…Image
"Ukrainians with dual citizenship will no longer be allowed to leave the country and may be drafted into the Armed Forces. This new regulation, which came into effect on June 1, 2024, impacts American-Ukrainian dual citizens, among others." kyivpost.com/post/33792
