In September 2021 the Cost of War Project issued by Brown University documented the staggering toll of America's regime change wars since 2001, leaving over 929,000 dead, 35-million refugees, and a cost of over $8-trillion.[3] The Donbas war which began in 2014 was just another regime change war provoked and funded by the United States.
Reuters reported that the heads of 22 diplomatic missions, including those of European Union member states, released a joint letter on March 1, 2022, urging Pakistan to support a resolution in the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) condemning Russia. Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan responded at a public event in Islamabad saying, "What do you think of us? Are we your slaves ... that whatever you say, we will do?"[4]
U.S. Col Douglas MacGregor, a critic of the globalist and Uniparty war on Russia said, "Russia to them [the Uniparty and globalists] represents the last major European state that is not part of the globalist internationalist empire, if you will. They've [Russia] resisted LGBTQ,[5] they've resisted what I would call this interesting blend of nihilism, Marxism, atheism, and as a result, they [Russia] have to be subverted and overthrown."[6] On April 11, 2022, Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said,
"Russia's military action in Ukraine is meant to put an end to the US-dominated world order…Our special military operation is also meant to put an end to the unabashed expansion of NATO and the unabashed drive towards full domination by the United States and its Western subjects on the world stage...This domination is built on gross violations of international law and under some rules, which they are now hyping so much and which they make up on a case-by-case basis”. |
On April 25, 2022, NATO carried out another terror attack on the Russian city of Bryansk.[7]
On February 28, 2022 Sweden, a non-NATO member, announced the country would supply the Kyiv regime with 5,000 anti-tank weapons, 135,000 field rations, 5,000 helmets, and 5,000 pieces of body armor. It was the first time Sweden sent finished weapons to a country since the Russo-Finnish war of 1939. Sweden sold iron ore vital to Nazi Germany's war effort throughout World War II and allowed passage of German troops via rail to Finland to fight the Soviet Union. On March 3, 2022, Sweden claimed two Russian SU-27 and two SU-24 fighters invaded its airspace.[8]
For the first time in its history, the European Commission financed the purchase and transport of weapons. The package cost 450 million euros ($502m) to be delivered to the Kyiv regime.[9] The European Commission also closed its airspace to Russian commercial airflight.
On March 11, 2022, EU external minister Josep Borrell back peddled on EU policy which provoked the war,
"I am ready to admit that we made a number of mistakes and that we lost the possibility of Russia’s rapprochement with the West. There are moments that we could do better, there are things that we proposed and then could not implement, such as, for example, the promise that Ukraine and Georgia will become part of NATO."[10] |
On April 9, 2022, Borrell announced more military aid to Kyiv saying that the conflict “will be won on the battlefield," a rather curious, if not foolish and downright dangerous statement given that the European Union has no military forces of its own.[11] Borrell appeared to be encouraging Ukrainian forces to continue fighting in a lost cause to perpetuate more needless slaughter.
The EU withheld money that is owed to Hungary from a massive slush fund created by higher taxation and printing more euros implemented during the CCP global pandemic to deal with the covid lockdowns. The funds were supposed to be dished out to member states. The EU withheld the funds to Hungary, as well as to Poland, citing Article 7 rule saying that Hungary and Poland are going "against EU values," specifically anti-child grooming laws.
Radosław Sikorski, a member of the EU parliament and former Foreign and Defense Minister in Poland, a political enemy of the conservatives now in government, suggested that the West should arm Ukraine with nuclear weapons.[12]

Addressing the 2022 Forum, Volodymyr Zelensky said,
"Although there is a rather good and long history between Ukraine and China, I would like to have an advantage in these relations compared to Russia."[15] |
98 year old Henry Kissinger addressed the WEF on May 23, 2022, warning, "Negotiations need to begin in the next two months before it creates upheavals and tensions that will not be easily overcome," and direct military confrontation with Russia itself.[16] George Soros told the WEF that the West needs a quick victory over Russia so it can focus on climate change. IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi was joined by Ukrainian Member of Parliament Alona Shkrum on a panel at Davos and voiced Russophobic propaganda.[17]
NATO is a system whereby European powers allow the US military to operate on their territory in exchange for the United States picking up a large portion of their defense costs. It essentially saddles US taxpayers with the cost of upholding European Socialism at the expense of America's own social welfare system, like healthcare.
Sputnik reported that a laptop with intelligence data was found at one of the headquarters of the neo-Nazi Pravy Sektor. The computer allegedly has a licensed NATO registry number, Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) head Denis Pushilin said. "The militants of the nationalists battalions have a special level of security clearance from the North Atlantic Alliance. This laptop contains a detailed map of the area with the location of our units," Pushilin said.[18]
On March 12, 2022, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg began walking back NATO threats to Russia by saying membership for Ukraine was not relevant or on the agenda.[19] According to reports, Stoltenberg said that any support from China to Russia would help Russia to continue to wage war and that China has an obligation as a member of the UN Security Council to uphold international law. The spokesperson of the Chinese Mission to the EU responded:
"we will never forget who had bombed our embassy in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. We need no lecture on justice from the abuser of international law. As a Cold War remnant and the world’s largest military alliance, NATO continues to expand its geographical scope and range of operations. What kind of role it has played in world peace and stability? NATO needs to have good reflection.[20] |
In an interview with CNN on March 20, 2022, President Zelensky said “I requested them personally to say directly that we are going to accept you into NATO in a year or two or five, just say it directly and clearly, or just say no. And the response was very clear, 'you’re not going to be a NATO member, but publicly, the doors will remain open.'”[21]
Former Warsaw Pact NATO members sent their old Soviet-era weapons and equipment to Ukraine, not out of fear of Russia or Putin, but in exchange for free, upgraded replacement equipment courtesy of the US taxpayer and military industrial complex. The exchange of equipment keeps Raytheon and other US defenses contractors' employees employed, as well as Congressional funding flowing for upgrades and development of new weapons systems.
On March 28, 2022 Yahoo News reported that NATO was conducting combat exercises on the Belarusian border.[22]
On April 1, 2022, Reuters reported an attack on a fuel storage facility in the Russian city of Belgorod, north of the Russia-Ukraine border.[23] Ukrainian National Security Council Oleksiy Danilov denied any Ukrainian involvement.[24] On April 13, 2022, more attempts at sabotage and strikes were reported against facilities on Russian Federation territory. Moscow said that if such incidents continue, the Russian Armed Forces will strike at decision-making centers, including those in Kyiv.
On the night of April 13–14, the flagship of the Russian Black Sea fleet, the cruiser Moskva, was seriously damaged. A ship of this class in the Black Sea conditions could have been successfully attacked either by a complex of anti-ship systems, including both missiles and aircrafts, or by a submarine. According to Southfront NATO military was directly involved in the attack.[25] Russia sent a formal demarche to Washington, D.C. warning the United States to stop arming Ukraine or face "unpredictable consequences."[26]
To impede NATO supply lines to the fascist Kyiv regime, on the night of April 24, 2022 and morning of April 25, Russian cruise missiles destroyed six traction substations within the Ukrainian rail system, paralyzing all electric trains in western Ukraine, leaving all the NATO heavy equipment stuck on the rails and an easy target for cruise missiles.
On May 14, 2022, it was reported that AFU forces were given orders not to complain on social media about having to use foreign weapons. Western weapons, such as the Javelin anti-tank missile, are too complicated and fail in use.[27] Video evidence and eyewitness testimony claim that Russian tanks were hit six and seven times with Javelins which merely bounced off. Ukrainian soldiers felt it wasn't worth risking their lives with this much vaunted weapon only to be exposed and defenseless in the end. The Italian newspaper Il Giornale reported that military-grade weaponry in Ukraine was allegedly being sold to international buyers on the encrypted messaging app Telegram. Weapons said to be for sale include not just Ukrainian-origin arms such as old Soviet-era AK-47 rifles, but also American-made rifles like the M16 and the M4, along with other NATO member-origin firearms like the ARX 160 A1 manufactured by the Italian weapons company Beretta.[28]
On May 20, 2022 Italy presented a four-point peace plan to United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres to end the conflict in Ukraine.[29] The final point makes it plain that the EU and other nations would struggle to survive without Russian gas and oil.[30]
NATO delivery of weapons was likened to "clearing off the shelves of a day-old bakery shop." With newer, more sophisticated Wunderwaffen, there wasn't enough time for months and months of training. Ukrainian troops tried googling for instructions how to use them.
At the 2022 NATO summit in Madrid in June, Turkiye withdrew its objection to the addition of Finland and Sweden to NATO membership, with the three countries signing a trilateral memorandum requiring Finland and Sweden to extradite Kurdish terrorists at Turkiye's request.
Gen. Sergei Shoigu told 36 defense ministers at the 10th Moscow International Security Conference:
"Given that the Conference is attended by heads of defence agencies and security experts from different regions of the world, I would like to highlight some aspects of the special military operation in Ukraine.
In Ukraine, the Russian military is being confronted by combined Western forces that run the leadership of that country in a hybrid war against Russia. The supply of weapons and military equipment to Ukraine is being stepped up, and training of the Ukrainian army is being carried out. Huge financial resources are transferred to maintain the viability of the nationalist regime. The actions of Ukraine’s armed forces are planned and coordinated by foreign military advisers. Reconnaissance data is supplied from all available NATO sources. The use of armaments is supervised by Western specialists. NATO’s efforts are aimed at prolonging the agony of the Kiev regime. However, we know for a fact that no one in NATO has any doubt that the goals of the Russian leadership’s special military operation will be achieved, and that plans to strategically and economically weaken Russia are failing. The dollar has not reached the ceiling of 200 roubles, as predicted by the US president, the Russian economy has stood firm. The special military operation has dispelled the myth of “super-weapons” supplied to Ukraine by the West, which are capable of fundamentally changing the situation on the front. Initially, they were talking about deliveries of Javelin anti-tank systems, some kind of “unique” drones. Lately, the Westerners have been promoting the role of super-weapons with HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems and long-range howitzers. However, these weapons also grind to a halt in battle. They did not make a significant impact. The Russian weapons, for their part, have proved their best qualities in combat. We are taking a close look at trophy weapons from the West. The features and their specific qualities are taken into account in order to improve the way combat operations are conducted and the effectiveness of Russian armaments. The supply of NATO weapons to Kiev means that Western countries are responsible for their inhumane use and for the deaths of civilians in Donbass and in the liberated territories. Ukrainian armed forces operations are planned in Washington and London. Not only are the coordinates of the targets to be attacked provided by Western intelligence, but the input of this data into weapons systems is conducted under the full control of Western specialists. Kiev’s role in the West’s combat approach has been reduced to supplying manpower, which is seen as expendable. This explains the huge loss of personnel in Ukraine’s armed forces and territorial defence formations. So far, the real figures of dead soldiers and mobilised so-called territorial defence forces have been concealed by the Kiev leadership. In time, however, this information will become public. The testimonies of POWs of AFU allow us to form a realistic picture of what is happening on the other side of the front. The dismissive attitude towards the loss of foreign soldiers reinforces the thesis that NATO has purely selfish interests in Ukraine. Clearly, Britain’s colonial experience as the main sponsor of the Kiev regime has come in very handy for London in dealing with the current leadership in Kiev." |
The United States owns and operates biological laboratories in Ukraine.[32][33] An agreement to operate the laboratories was signed in 2005.[34] On March 21, 2022, Joe Biden announced a second "new world order"[35] after the failure of the first, which was announced by President George H.W. Bush on September 11, 1991 - exactly ten years to the day prior to the 9/11 attacks which spelled the doom of the first new world order and was completed by Joe Biden with his humiliating withdrawal from Afghanistan nearly twenty years later to the day. On March 22, 2022, the Russian state Duma established a parliamentary commission to investigate the American biological laboratories operating in Ukraine.[36] Deputy Leonid Slutsky, who is a member of the committee, issued a statement:
"Russia will continue to raise the issue of the need to investigate US activities in the field of biological research, including in the UN structures. Obviously, we can talk about a direct violation of the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons (BTWC).
What is known today from the materials that were discovered during the special military operation in Ukraine? The biolaboratories were formally under the jurisdiction of the Central Sanitary and Epidemiological Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, but Americans were placed as curators everywhere. In fact, pathogens of dangerous diseases were tested on the local genotype (Slavic). At the same time, pathogens were created that, most likely, they tried to make resistant to commercial vaccines or antibiotics. There were about 30 such laboratories in total, 13 of them had a very high level of protection. Against this background, according to experts, in recent years Ukraine has turned into some incomprehensible hotbed of old and new diseases. For example, we all remember that measles was defeated in the USSR. But in 2005-2007, measles returned to Ukraine, moreover, in the form of an epidemic, and until 2021 it was present as a significant disease. WHO even named Ukraine the capital of measles. A similar situation was with cholera. The last cases of cholera were registered in the country in the 90s, but in 2011 33 people fell ill with cholera in Mariupol, in 2014 there were already 800 people, in 2015-2017 more than 100 cases were recorded annually in Nikolaev. Further more interesting: in 2009 Ternopil, 450 Ukrainians suffered from a virus that causes hemorrhagic pneumonia, which has never been present in the north of Eurasia, this virus is characteristically noted in Equatorial Africa. How he got there is a big question. I specifically cite this data in detail in order to show the scope of everything that existed in the immediate vicinity of the territory of Russia. And it’s really scary." |
Joe Biden's son, the corrupt self-admitted crackhead Hunter Biden, secured millions of dollars in funding for Metabiota, a U.S. Department of Defense contractor in Ukraine specializing in deadly pathogen research which he himself, through his company Rosemont Seneca, had invested in.[38]

An American military aircraft was seen in the emergency area with the Russian cruiser Moskva. The Moskva was near Odessa, closer to Romania. The Moskva was equipped with a new phased array locator with illumination range is 500 km. At about 19 pm, an American military patrol and reconnaissance anti-submarine aircraft of the US Navy was spotted in the western part of Romanian airspace. The latter was located approximately 70 kilometers from the location of the Russian missile cruiser Moskva. According to data available to the Avia.pro news agency, a US military patrol reconnaissance and anti-submarine Boeing P-8A Poseidon aircraft was in the eastern part of Romanian airspace, flying with an unknown target. According to a number of data, the flight of the Boeing RC-135 aircraft was also carried out, however, the latter could not be tracked by the ADS-B Exchange resource. According to the ADS-B Exchange resource, the American Boeing P-8 Poseidon aircraft with the ICAO identification code AE681B was flying near the Zhurilovka settlement (Romania). However, due to the transponder periodically turned off by the crew, experts do not exclude that the bird could also fly over the western part of the Black Sea, where, according to preliminary information, the Russian missile cruiser Moskva was located. What kind of information could be collected by the American military reconnaissance aircraft Boeing P-8 Poseidon is still unknown, however, judging by the data presented, the bird was still in the air at 21 hours and 17 minutes.[41] The reaction of public opinion in the Russian Federation to the interference and provocation by the United States and killing of their sailors was one of outrage, and demanding that their government and leaders take appropriate action.
The Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act of 2022 (S. 3522 117th Congress), by which Congress appropriated $40 billion in aid to Ukraine, was introduced into Congress on January 19, 2022, more than 5 weeks before the Russian incursion began.[42] Critics assailed the action as just another money laundering bonanza for the military-industrial complex and not a coherent or well-thought-out military strategy.[43]
CNN reported on April 19, 2022, that US officials have no way to keep track of weapons deliveries to Ukraine. Officials said, "It drops into a big black hole, and you have almost no sense of it at all after a short period of time."[44] The vaunted Javelin missile which cost the US taxpayer $175,000 per unit,[45] was being sold on the black market in Idlib for $15,000 by the end of May 2022.[46] A CBS News documentary reported that of the billions of dollars of weapons pumped into Ukraine, only 30% made it to the front lines.[47]

Blinken said the weapons, which have a precision range of up to 300 kilometers using ATACMS ammunition, were given on the pretext of a promise by Zelensky not to use the HIMARs against Russian territory. However Zelensky's chief propagandist Alexie Arestovich immediately threatened, "Crimea is ours…It belongs to Ukraine…And they know it…Therefore, it will fly to Crimea double-time."[54] Ukrainian General Dmytro Marchenko said the Crimean Bridge over the Kerch Strait would be the number 1 target for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
After Biden called Putin a killer and publicly called for his ouster, NBC News reported on June 16, 2022, that Biden instructed Blinken and Austin to tone down the Russophobic rhetoric.[55]

On November 9, 2021, Ottawa Citizen military reporter David Pugliese revealed that when Canadian military officials met with the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion in June 2018, they knew the group used the Nazi “Wolfsangel” symbol and praised officials who helped slaughter Jews and Poles during World War II. “A year before the meeting,” reports Pugliese, "Canada’s Joint Task Force Ukraine produced a briefing on the Azov Battalion, acknowledging its links to Nazi ideology."[65] Rather than express public disagreement with their views, Canadian military officials sought to manage any potential public relations fallout from at least two meetings, which included Azov representatives boasting about their Canadian support.
A September 2021 report from an Institute at George Washington University revealed that Centuria boasted about being trained by some of the 200 Canadian troops in the Ukraine. The report detailed Centuria members making Nazi salutes, praising SS units and promoting white supremacy.[67]
In March 2016 retired Canadian soldier Oksana Kuzyshyn spoke at an event titled “A Canadian’s experience training the AZOV Battalion to NATO standards”.[68] One month earlier “nearly 200 officer cadets and professors of Canada’s Royal Military College” attended a screening of Ukrainians/Les Ukrainiens: God's Volunteer Battalion, which praised fascist militias fighting in the Donbas.[69]
Since U.S. and Canadian backed ultranationalists overthrew democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych in the 2014 Maidan coup, Canadian politicians have spoken alongside and marched with Canadian members of Ukraine's Pravy Sektor,[70] which said it was “defending the values of white, Christian Europe against the loss of the nation and deregionalisation.”[71] Pravy Sektor has been implicated in the Odessa Trade Unions House massacre wherein at least 46 ethnic Russians were burnt alive by Maidan fascists. The black and red flag of Pravy Sektor is based on the Nazi-era "bloods and soil" flag.
Alongside the U.S., Canada has funded, equipped and trained the neo-Nazi infiltrated National Police of Ukraine (NPU), which was founded after the democratically Yanukovych was overthrown. A former deputy commander of the Azov Battalion, Vadim Troyan had a series of senior positions in the NPU, including acting chief.[73]
Efraim Zuroff, the Director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Israel, denounced Canadian troops for training neo-Nazi fighters in Ukraine, saying Ottawa has a responsibility to prevent such things from happening. “The Government of Canada did not exercise due diligence” Ephraim Zuroff told Citizen of Ottawa. “There is no doubt that there are neo-Nazis in Ukraine in various forms, whether in the Azov Regiment or other organizations."[74]

However, France-2 omitted to mention its other founder, Dmytro Yarosh, who during the Russia-Ukraine war was Adviser to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).
The French channel referred to an old United Nations report documenting systematic torture in Donbas, but it neglected to mention either the Azov Battalion's special prisons uncovered by the Russian army,[92] or statements issued by the UN in this regard. France-2 also failed to explain the weight of the Banderites in Ukrainian nationalist history, reducing the prominence of the neo-Nazis to brandishing the swastika. France-2 reported the threat to be between 3,000 and 5,000 men, while Reuters reported the paramilitary Banderites number to be 102,000 men, split into several militias incorporated within the Territorial Defense.

Exactly the same kinds of attacks regularly faced Russian missions on the territory of Ukraine until 2022 - including the Russian Consulate General in Lvov in December 2021." Russians living abroad have reportedly experienced a worrisome rise in discrimination, hate crimes and acts of vandalism amidst the ongoing global NATO-inspired Russophobic psyops.[102]
On February 26, 2022 Germany announced it would deliver 1,000 anti-tank weapons and 500 Stinger missiles to the Kyiv regime. The German Interior Ministry declared on March 28, 2022, that any individual who displays the letter “Z” would be liable for prosecution. The letter was displayed on Russian military vehicles during Operation Denazification.[103]
Florence Gaub, deputy director of the European Union Institute for Security Studies (EUISS), which describes itself as “the Union’s agency dealing with the analysis of foreign, security and defence policy issues,” used this racist language to dehumanize Russians on April 12, 2022,
“We should not forget, even if Russians look European, they are not European, in a cultural sense. They [Russians] think differently about violence or death. They have no concept of a liberal, post-modern life, a concept of life that each individual can choose. Instead, life simply can end early with death."[104] |
On April 22, 2022, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said he's reluctant to renew a German-Russian war through proxies by sending heavy weapons to Ukraine because of the real threat of nuclear war.[105] Four days later, bowing to pressure from the Biden regime, the German government flipped and announced it will deliver Gepard anti-aircraft tanks to Ukraine. The Gepard (Cheetah) is a short range (5 km / 3 miles) anti-air system on a tank chassis useful against helicopters, drones and low flying planes.[106]
On May 3, 2022 Yahoo News reported that Ukraine Ambassador to Germany Andriy Melnyk insulted Chancellor Scholz in Berlin, calling him a "sulky liver sausage" for not visiting the war zone. The Kyiv regime had denied German president Frank-Walter Steinmeiner, who helped broker the Minsk Agreements, a welcome to Kyiv in April. Scholz responded to the Ukrainian government's chief representative in Germany, “You can’t do that. It can’t work that when a country has provided so much military aid, so much financial aid — which is needed — when it’s a question of the security guarantees that will be important to Ukraine in the future — you then say: But the president can’t come.”[107] Melnik went on to praise the Holocaust of Jews and Poles by Nazis during World War II.[108]
60 Ukrainian soldiers arrived in Germany on May 11, 2022, to begin 40 days training on the five-man operated Howitzer 2000 artillery system. Other training centers are reportedly opened or opening, thus making Germany a proxy of Ukraine and a participant in the conflict.[109] Berlin is officially supplying weapons and training to a regime that upholds Nazi ideology.
In a speech at the Bundestag on May 19, 2022, Scholz said he was against granting Ukraine a "shortcut" to join the bloc out of fairness to six Balkan countries which have been waiting to join for years. "French President Emmanuel Macron is right to stress that the accession process is not a matter of a few months or a few years." In response, the white supremacist regime in Kyiv complained it was getting "second-class treatment" by having to take a back seat to the people of the Balkans.[110]
On May 25, 2022 Politico reported that Germany was "flabbergasted" by accusations from Polish President Andrzej Duda that Germany had broken its promise to resupply Poland with tanks after Poland's delivery to Ukraine of 240 Soviet era tanks. A government spokesman said, “There was a clear request from the Polish side to transfer state-of-the-art Leopard 2A7 main battle tanks to Poland, but the problem is that the Bundeswehr itself only has a small number — about 50 — of these tanks,” adding that while “more are in the pipeline....they have to be manufactured.”[111]
According to the publications Zeit and ARD Kontraste, Scholz approved the transfer of intelligence information to the Kyiv regime in May 2022, mostly satellite images and radio intercept data regarding the deployment and movements of Russian military equipment.

Hans-Georg Maassen, who headed Germany's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Germany's domestic security agency from 2012 to 2018, warned his fellow citizens on May 25, 2022, that Germany was “sleepwalking” into war with Russia. Maassen cited on TV Berlin's ‘Special’ program a ruling by the International Court of Justice that the supply of weapons to one of the warring parties in a conflict makes the supplier a party to the conflict, too.
The former intelligence chief argued that, contrary to what the German media says, “Ukraine is not a bastion of human rights, of freedom, peace and Western values.” Massen was terrified by the lack of public discussion on this issue, telling viewers:
"We are now a warring party on Ukraine’s side. Let that sink in: We are a warring party. Against Russia."[115] |
Germany and other NATO members actively supported Ukraine during the military counterattack in the Kharkov region in September 2022, when Russian troops were pushed back to the state border, not only with satellite images and intercepted telephone conversations, but also with a significant number of German mercenaries paid by NATO and the United States.

In November 2022 the German branch of the US fast food chain Kentucky Fried Chicken asked customers to commemorate Kristallnacht with more cheese on their crispy chicken.[116]
The Wall Street Journal reports: "Less than 50% of the self-propelled Panzerhaubitze — a class of mobile, long-barreled battlefield guns officially known as PzH2000 howitzers that are widely considered to be among the best-performing weapons of their kind — are on the battlefield at any given time, because they must be taken to Lithuania for repairs, nearly 900 miles from the Kherson front in southern Ukraine, senior German officials said. Germany has so far delivered 14 such weapons, and the Netherlands another five.
"Other allies, such as the U.S. and Britain, service the arms they donated to Ukraine in Poland, near the Ukrainian border. But Warsaw has refused to allow Berlin to set up a servicing center in Poland, requesting instead that the German manufacturers provide confidential technical information in order for a Polish state-controlled company to do the work, according to German officials involved in the talks."[117]
In late March 2022 NATO asked Denmark to send a battalion of 800 soldiers to Latvia to bolster the military alliance's eastern flank.
On May 23, 2022, it was announced that Denmark would provide an unspecified number of US-made Harpoon anti-ship missiles and launchers to Ukraine—a report quickly followed by American defense experts noting: “The Harpoons don't do anything to solve Russia's submarine anti-ship capabilities or its anti-ship missile capabilities that absolutely dwarf Ukraine's, even with the Harpoons, and those of NATO, for that matter…The Black Sea is one of the densest anti-ship missile engagement zones on earth, and Russia is the player with the preeminent arsenal with many types of anti-ship missiles deployed on its ships, coastal areas, and aircraft."[118] Denmark's supply of US-made Harpoon anti-ship missiles to Ukraine to fight the Russian Black Sea Fleet sent off alarm bells in the Kremlin, revealing the non-humanitarian goals of NATO's "coalition of the willing" for provocative engagements with Russia's Black Sea fleet.
On June 21, 2022, Danish troops in Latvia complained about a lack of underwear and other necessary supplies;[119] China, which is aligned with Russia, is the world's largest manufacturer of underwear. The soldiers also complained that they had no ammunition.[120]
On April 5, 2022, it was reported that Czechia supplied Ukraine with infantry fighting vehicles and T-72 tanks.[121]
In addition to tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, the Czech Republic sent more than 20 RM-70 MLRS to Ukraine, which indicates a clear escalation from NATO. Multiple rocket launchers are a Czechoslovak/Czech variant of the Soviet BM-21 Grad rocket system, which has some peculiarities. Providing Ukraine with such a large amount of offensive weapons indicates not only the fact that Prague supports Kyiv, but also that the Czech Republic is interested in aggravating the situation and confronting Russia. According to official data, there are about 60 RM-70 multiple launch rocket systems in service with the Czech Republic. At the same time, there are so far unconfirmed data that, in addition to the installations themselves, several hundred ammunition were transferred to Ukraine.
In the Czech Republic, massive anti-NATO and European Union protests erupted in the streets in September 2022.[122]
On December 5, 2022, in an interview with Michal Strnad, owner of CSG, Reuters reported that it would take 10–15 years to refill Western stocks of artillery ammunition depleted to support the Ukraine's army. CSG is responsible for about 25-30% of European output of NATO-standard 155mm artillery. Strnad said CSG now had capacity of 80,000-100,000 of artillery shells per year, a significant chunk of the annual capacity in Europe which he put at 270,000-300,000. Strnad said Ukraine was firing 40,000 shells per week.[123]
Hundreds of Lithuanians raised 5.9 million euros to purchase a Turkish made Bayraktar drone for Ukraine.[124] The Lithuania military then signed a deal with the Turkish arms manufacturer for purchase of the drone.[125] In return, the Turkish arms manufacturer gifted a Bayraktar drone to the Lithuanian military.[126]
In violation of a longstanding treaty in perpetuity, Lithuania cut off rail traffic of critical materials to the Russian federal territory of Kaliningrad.[127] Lithuanian state-owned company “Lithuania Railways” implemented the ban. Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis highlighted Lithuania's loss of sovereignty in dealing with other nations since joining NATO and the EU: "This is not a Lithuanian decision. These are European sanctions that came into force on June 17, and the railways are now applying the sanctions”.[128] The Russian foreign ministry said: ‘We consider provocative measures of the Lithuanian side which violate Lithuania’s international legal obligations, primarily the 2002 Joint Statement of the Russian Federation and the European Union on transit between the Kaliningrad region and the rest of the Russian Federation, to be openly hostile.’[129]
The EU action violates international law. There is no trade or sanctions violation involved in the internal transportation and trade of goods within the same nation state. Furthermore, there is no law that allows arbitrary sanctions to override existing international treaties.
On June 22, 2022, the EU escalated the crisis by blocking off transport of goods by road.[130]
On June 25, 2022, the Russian Federation announced it would supply nuclear tipped Iskander missiles and SU-25 fighter jets to Belarus.

During the Russia-Ukraine war, Estonia's prime minister Kaja Kallas announced Estonia's accession to NATO may not have been what Estonia bargained for. Estonia would be wiped off the map and the historic centre of its capital city razed to the ground under NATO plans to defend the country from any Russian attack. NATO plans for the three Baltic states was to allow them to be overrun before allegedly 'liberating' them after 180 days, if possible.[133]
Norway attempted to violate a 100-year-old treaty by denying Russian efforts to resupply the Russian settlements of Svalbard, Barentsburg, and Pyramid in the Spitzbergen archipelago.[134] Norway is not a member of the European Union, yet claimed its efforts to starve the Russian residents of the communities was in accordance with EU sanctions.

As noted by base reporting, “Elements of 2nd Brigade Combat Team, and 101st Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion, 101st Airborne Division, have been assigned to carry out the mission.” Col. John Lubas, deputy commanding officer for operations said, “We’re going to check the Russian influence and we’re going to impact the Russians’ decision-making for probably the next 10–20 years,” said [138]
On September 17, 2022 former Romanian Education Minister Andrei Marga declared: "We are in a very special situation here, and I take this with all responsibility, Ukraine exists in unnatural borders…It should cede Transcarpathia to Hungary, Galicia to Poland, Bukovina to Romania, Donbass and Crimea to Russia…These are the territories of other countries."[139]
CBS News reported on October 21, 2022, that The U.S. Army's 101st Airborne is practicing for war with Russia just miles from Ukraine's border. In all, about 4,700 were deployed.

In 2018 Western media reported that two Australians who had been part of the New Zealand-based Right Wing Resistance, Ethan Tilling and Jared Bennett, had fought as mercenaries in Donbas. Tilling fought with the Georgian legion, and Bennett with the Pravy Sektor.[146] Brenton Tarrant, another Australian who killed 51 Muslim worshippers in the Christchurch New Zealand mosque shooting,[147] travelled to Ukraine for training with the Azov Battalion and wore Azov Nazi insignia on his flak jacket during the mass killing, according to The New York Times.[148] Tarrant was also a member of the NZ Right Wing Resistance. Former adviser to the Minister of Defense of Ukraine and founder of the Faithful Cossacks organization,[149] Alexei Selivanov claimed that Tarrant also served as a mercenary like Tilling and Bennett who fought in special battalions in Donbass.[150] He accused them of having killed civilians: "They shot at civilians. These people consider Muslims and Slavs to be inferior peoples. They don't care who they're shooting at. Muslims in mosques in New Zealand, or Russian speakers in Donbass."
French war correspondent Christelle Néant wrote in 2019 at the time of the Christchurch shooting,
"[N]umerous warnings issued by Russia, the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, several Russian and Ukrainian analysts, and myself, about the danger that post-Maidan Ukraine poses to international security were justified.
Turning a blind eye as the West has been doing for the past five years to Ukrainian neo-Nazi groups and their battalions, to their war crimes in the Donbass, and to the fact that they recruit foreign neo-Nazis who can thus come and afford "safaris"[151] during which they can train in the use of weapons and kill human beings without risking ending up in prison before returning home quietly without being disturbed or monitored, can only lead to this kind of disaster. It is not only physical diseases such as measles, for which Ukraine is a hotbed of infection that contaminates other countries, it is also for ideological diseases such as neo-Nazism. And unfortunately, against the latter there is no other vaccine than not to repeat the mistakes of Western governments in the 1930s, which had turned a blind eye to the horrors of Nazism in the name of the fight against communism. Yet anyone who has studied history knows how these sordid compromises ended for everyone. Today, Western governments are doing the same thing. They turn a blind eye to the galloping development of neo-Nazism in Ukraine under the guise of fighting Russia. They turn a blind eye to the fact that these groups are armed through their battalions sent to Donbass. They turn a blind eye to the fact that their nationals will serve in these same neo-Nazi battalions, to commit war crimes against civilians in Donbass. And they turn a blind eye when these war criminals return home from their "safaris." If the information of the Cossacks is verified, and Brenton Tarrant served well in a neo-Nazi battalion in Ukraine, then the responsibility of the Western countries in the Christchurch massacre will be overwhelming and it will be difficult for them to erase in the eyes of history and the families of the victims this indelible filth. It is time for the West to stop covering Ukraine and the neo-Nazi groups that are developing within it, and it is especially time for Western countries to look at their nationals who served in the Ukrainian neo-Nazi battalions in the Donbass, before more killings like the one in Christchurch take place."[152] |

After Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky attempted to ignite World War III,[159] former Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori criticized Zelensky and the media saying, "I don't quite understand why only President Putin is criticized while Mr. Zelenskyy isn't taken to task at all. Mr Zelenskyy has made many Ukrainian people suffer." Mori blasted Japanese news outlets, saying their "one-sided" reporting on the NATO war in Ukraine gives the impression they "only rely on reports from Europe and the United States." Mori made the remarks at a gathering related to Muneo Suzuki, a veteran lawmaker known for his efforts to resolve the disputed Kuril Islands issue with Russia, according to the Kyodo News Agency.[160]
Russia's actions were implemented upon the limited legal authorities granted to Vladimir Putin by the Russian Duma, or parliament, which limits Russia's force structure to what can be assembled under peacetime conditions.

The Wagner Group, a Private Military Company (PMC) modelled after the American Wackenhut and Blackwater organizations that are otherwise known as “security contractors” or “private military contractors”, whose feared and mysterious forces have been spotted in conflicts all around the world—is headed by Yevgeny Prigozhin.[161] The Wagner Group formed penal battalions under their command. In a leaked video on September 14, 2022,[162] Pirogozhin appeared speaking to Russian prisoners offering them amnesty and pardons if they choose to fight in Ukraine for 6 months, and told them: “The war is tough...It's nothing like the Chechen war...The rate of ammo is 2.5 more than it was in Stalingrad...The first sin is desertion...No one backs out and no one retreats...No one turns themselves in...During training you'll be told about two grenades you must have with you when surrendering…The second sin is drugs and alcohol, during all the time you are with us, and for six months you will be with us in the combat zone...And the third sin is looting, including any sexual contacts with local women, flora, fauna, men, anything...If you survive six months, you go home after receiving a full pardon...Those who want to stay with us can stay with us...There is no option to return to prison...Those that arrive on the front line but then change their minds will be marked as deserters and sent off to the firing squad...I'll take questions lads...After that you line up for interviews...You have five minutes to make a decision...When we leave, that time is up”. The Wagner Group took prisoners up to age 50 after screening for physical and psychological impairments. If killed in the line of duty in the combat zone, they were guaranteed burial with full military honors in the place of their own designation. The appeal was offered to 500,000 prisoners nationwide.
