Emergency statement of the official representative of the People's Militia of the DPR at 15.30 02.03.2022The Vineyard of the Saker
According to operational information received in the city of Mariupol, on the territory of the Azov-Stal plant, the commander of a separate special forces detachment "Azov" of 12 armored units of the National Guard of Ukraine is preparing for a mass provocation with the death of civilians. For this purpose, the civilian population is brought into the territory of the Azov-Steel plant, which is placed in mined workshops and office premises. Military equipment is placed in the courtyard of the enterprise. In the event of a breakthrough in the defense of the city of Mariupol by units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the nationalists plan to blow up the plant's buildings, with further accusation of the Russian side of destroying civilians and civilian infrastructure with artillery fire.
In the basement and premises of school No. 34 on 17 Gastelo Street, more than 60 civilians are forcibly detained, of which more than half are women and children. All civilians who tried to leave the city through the provided humanitarian corridors are forcibly brought to the school. According to information from the teachers of the Priazov State Technical University, located along Universitetskaya Street, 7, militants from the Azov unit began to mine the building, as well as the approaches to it with controlled explosive devices.

Any mention in the above-mentioned greemcitytimes article about the ethnic Greek towns/villages taken over by the Russian-speaking separatists?
ReplyDeleteEconomist Thrasos Eftychidis, who has been living and working in the former Soviet Union for the last 28 years, expressed enormous concern for the large Greek communities of the wider Mariupol area.
“Things are very difficult for the Greeks in the area,” he told Ethnos.
“The Russian-speaking separatists of the eastern provinces took control of four other Greek villages.”
...
He described the Russian invasion as a “huge mistake”, as Putin’s “security law” was lost in the invasion of Ukraine.
“I think the invasion is a huge mistake,” Eftychidis said.
“With this, Putin has put his country and the whole world on adventures.
“With the invasion, Putin has managed to lose the right he had and the whole compromising part of the West.
“I also consider it a great mistake for Putin to recognise the two Donbass republics. With this decision he opened the bag of Aeolus.
“Any right of the Russian positions was lost with the first bomb on Ukrainian territory.”

In the Odyssey Aeolus gave Odysseus a favourable wind and a bag in which the unfavourable winds were confined. Odysseus' companions opened the bag; the winds escaped and drove them back to the island. Although he appears as a human in Homer, Aeolus later was described as a minor god.

Aeolus was Kevin Sorbo's sidekick.
