A bit of history on Azov

The Nation magazine covered a lot of it in 2014. Everybody knew who they were right up to this year then denied they existed.


It is sick that they brainwashed people right across the West to see them as hero's. When knowing who they actually are and what they believe in.

German general opposed the supply of heavy equipment to Ukraine.

Erich Wade, a former adviser to Merkel, said on the Deutschlandfunk radio station that it was senseless and dangerous.

According to him, in order to learn how to drive a Leopard tank or a Marder BMP, it is necessary to undergo many years of training. In addition, such supplies will only worsen the situation in Ukraine.

"If we don't want a third world war, sooner or later we will have to abandon military escalation and start negotiations," Wade explained.


Zelensky is going to grant Poles a special legal status in Ukraine.

He intends to submit the relevant bill to the Rada.

This was reported by the representative of the Verkhovna Rada in the Constitutional Court of Ukraine Olga Sovgirya.

The President of Poland has arrived in Kyiv. Today Andrzej Duda will address the Verkhovna Rada.


Watch this space...

The British media saw a "Russian trace" in the spread of smallpox monkeys.

The Mirror tabloid claims that the Soviet Union even before the early 1990s considered the possibility of using this disease as a biological weapon.

Earlier, WHO announced 90 identified cases of infection with smallpox monkeys. They are recorded in 12 countries. Most of all - in Portugal, Spain and the UK (from 21 to 30 cases).

Infected people have also been identified in Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden and the USA.


Peter was right Russia being blamed for the monkeypox lol.

Imagine if Zelensky and the Polish President announce today that all of Western Ukraine will temporarily become part of Poland and be protected by the NATO umbrella.
