Self-proclaimed experts continue to propagate politically convenient fake even after Ukrainian court verdict confirmed that Russian snipers conspiracy theory was disproved & admitted that many Maidan protesters were shot from Maidan-controlled buildings. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…
The Maidan Massacre Trial and Investigation Revelations: Implications for the Ukraine-Russia War and Relations
brill.com/view/journals/…
The “snipers’ massacre” on the Maidan in Ukraine

"Content analysis of synchronized videos, testimonies by several hundred witnesses, confessions by 14 self-admitted members of Maidan sniper groups, and bullet hole locations show that both the police and protesters were massacred by Maidan snipers located in Maidan-controlled buildings and areas. Content analysis of synchronized videos revealed that the specific time and direction of shooting by Berkut policemen, who were charged with the massacre, did not coincide with the killing of specific protesters. Testimonies by the absolute majority of wounded protesters and some 100 witnesses and forensic examinations by ballistic and medical experts for the Maidan massacre trial and investigation in Ukraine corroborate this. The article shows that the false-flag massacre was rationally organized and carried out with the involvement of oligarchic and far-right elements of the Maidan opposition to overthrow the incumbent government in Ukraine."tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

2 years after my first viral tweet based on Ukrainska pravda report, @ForeignAffairs reports that "In the spring of 2022, Moscow and Kyiv sat down to outline a settlement that would have ended the war in Ukraine" The article subtitle is "A Hidden History of Diplomacy" even though my tweets about such peace deal framework & its blocking by UK & US, based on interviews of Ukrainian officials, ex-Israeli prime minister, ex-German chancellor, former senior US officials, head & members of Ukrainian delegation at peace talks & Russian & Belarusian leaders & senior officials had about 30,000,000 views. It was the media who hidden this.Image

Orwellian: SS Galicia Division veteran, who was involved in epic debacle in Canadian parliament, is given highest award of Ternopil Regional Council in Ukraine. Award is named after Stetsko, Bandera faction of OUN leader & Nazi collaborator, who was involved in mass murder of Jews.

"The Ternopil Regional Council awarded Yaroslav Hunka, who caused the resignation of the Speaker of the Parliament of Canada..." This is stated in the order of the head of the Ternopil Regional Council dated February 6, 2024 No. 22."

"Today, March 19, on Yaroslav Hunka's 99th birthday, Oleg Syrotyuk, head of the regional council's standing commission on legality, handed over this award to his great-niece from Berezhan, Olga Vitkovska. According to Oleg Syrotyuk, the woman should transfer the pectoral order to Canada, where the veteran lives.

The Investigative Committee of Russia accused Yaroslav Hunka of genocide in absentia and declared him an international wanted man.

Because of the charges, Yaroslav Hunka left for Latin America at the end of 2023, but after the court recognized his right and innocence, he returned to Canada, where he still lives." suspilne.media/709328-ternopi…Image
"The Ternopil regional council awarded Yaroslav Hunka, a soldier of the SS division "Galicia," with the honorary insignia "For services to the Ternopil region" named after Yaroslav Stetsko. Hunka received the award for “demonstrated patriotism, outstanding services in the defense of the territorial integrity and independence of Ukraine.” strana.today/news/460441-ja…Image

Maloletka & Chernov, whose documentary "20 Days in Mariupol" is nominated for Oscar, also photographed Maidan massacre in Ukraine. Maloletka filmed far-right-linked Maidan snipers in Music Conservatory. 3 of them admitted in BBC & Ukrainian media interviews shooting police. Prosecutor General investigation confirmed my study findings that this group of Maidan snipers killed & wounded police.

Maidan massacre trial verdict confirmed my studies findings that this group of Maidan snipers was in Hotel Ukraina, that many Maidan activists were shot from this hotel & that it was controlled by Maidan. Nobody of them was arrested for this massacre. Moreover, far-right commander of this group of Maidan snipers was filmed & presented as hero in another Oscar-nominated documentary, entitled "Winter on Fire."

"20 Days in Mariupol" just won Oscar for best documentary film. In addition to Oscar, Mstyslav Chernov & Evgeny Maloletka also won Pulitzer Prize & numerous other awards. #Oscars2024📷 #Oscars📷
Mstyslav Chernov, whose "20 Days in Mariupol" has won Oscar for best documentary, never photographed or reported Maidan snipers even though he was filmed by CNN photographing wounding of Maidan medic, who testified that he was shot from Maidan-controlled Bank Arkada. A far-right group of Maidan snipers was filmed in Hotel Ukraina when Chernov and other Maidan medics were filmed there carrying this wounded medic.

Maidan massacre trial verdict confirmed my studies findings that this group of Maidan snipers was in Hotel Ukraina, that many Maidan activists were shot from this hotel & that it was controlled by Maidan activists.

"Paris is considering the possibility of allowing special forces and other military units to cross the border of Ukraine in order to pose a “strategic dilemma” for the Russian Federation. This was reported in the article “Ukraine’s Western allies already have a military presence in the country” by the Monde newspaper, citing sources.

Emmanuel Macron's remarks on the possible dispatch of military reinforcements have implicitly lifted the veil on the already effective presence of members of various Western services on Ukrainian soil.

“All allied states are present in Ukraine. We are not talking about combat units, but, for example, there are representatives of each intelligence service,” a Ukrainian diplomatic source, who wished to remain anonymous, told the publication.

Officially, Paris denies the presence of its military in Ukraine. Possible permission to cross the Ukrainian border, according to Monde, is seen as a means of creating a “strategic dilemma” for Russia.

According to the publication, the French military presence could “protect some territories of Ukraine” and limit attacks from Russia."

More confirmations of proxy war & Ukraine as US client state since Western-backed violent overthrow of Ukrainian government 10 years ago: "The C.I.A. and other American intelligence agencies provide intelligence for targeted missile strikes, track Russian troop movements and help support spy networks... A secret nerve center of Ukraine’s military... is almost fully financed, and partly equipped, by the C.I.A. “One hundred and ten percent,” Gen. Serhii Dvoretskiy, a top intelligence commander, said in an interview at the base.

The listening post in the Ukrainian forest is part of a C.I.A.-supported network of spy bases constructed in the past eight years that includes 12 secret locations along the Russian border... The Ukrainians also helped the Americans go after the Russian operatives who meddled in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

And the C.I.A. also helped train a new generation of Ukrainian spies who operated inside Russia, across Europe, and in Cuba and other places where the Russians have a large presence. The relationship is so ingrained that C.I.A. officers remained at a remote location in western Ukraine when the Biden administration evacuated U.S. personnel in the weeks before Russia invaded in February 2022. During the invasion, the officers relayed critical intelligence, including where Russia was planning strikes and which weapons systems they would use. “Without them, there would have been no way for us to resist the Russians, or to beat them,” said Ivan Bakanov, who was then head of Ukraine’s domestic intelligence agency, the S.B.U.

The C.I.A.’s partnership in Ukraine can be traced back to two phone calls on the night of Feb. 24, 2014, eight years to the day before Russia’s full-scale invasion.
Millions of Ukrainians had just overrun the country’s pro-Kremlin government and the president, Viktor Yanukovych, and his spy chiefs had fled to Russia. In the tumult, a fragile pro-Western government quickly took power.

The government’s new spy chief, Valentyn Nalyvaichenko, arrived at the headquarters of the domestic intelligence agency and found a pile of smoldering documents in the courtyard. Inside, many of the computers had been wiped or were infected with Russian malware.,,

He went to an office and called the C.I.A. station chief and the local head of MI6. It was near midnight but he summoned them to the building, asked for help in rebuilding the agency from the ground up, and proposed a three-way partnership. “That’s how it all started,” Mr. Nalyvaichenko said." nytimes.com/2024/02/25/wor…Image
"Toward the end of 2021, according to a senior European official, Mr. Putin was weighing whether to launch his full-scale invasion when he met with the head of one of Russia’s main spy services, who told him that the C.I.A., together with Britain’s MI6, were controlling Ukraine and turning it into a beachhead for operations against Moscow." archive.is/on9vG#selectio…
"During a previous stint as spy chief, Mr. Nalyvaichenko started a similar partnership with the C.I.A., which dissolved when the country swung back toward Russia. Now Mr. Brennan explained that to unlock C.I.A. assistance the Ukrainians had to prove that they could provide intelligence of value to the Americans. They also needed to purge Russian spies; the domestic spy agency, the S.B.U., was riddled with them. (Case in point: The Russians quickly learned about Mr. Brennan’s supposedly secret visit." archive.is/on9vG#selectio…
