Foreign Affairs / Re: Ukraine Will Soon Be A Landlocked Country by donttouchme: 9:54am On Mar 26, 2022 |
More like an after thought. D initial objectives of Russian invasion is to bully them into -- 1. Regime change(de-nazification). 2. Recognizing Crimea as part of Russia. 3. Recognizing d independence of donbas and donesk. 4. Not joining NATO and EU( maintain neutrality) 5. Imposing a pro-russian president. As it stands, Russia has lost their fear factor. They have given Ukraine a wake-up call. And all this regions they are occupying will one day return to ukraine. Putin will not live forever. One day Ukraine will come calling. Those regions are still part of Ukraine and no country will recognize them. Infact, mutiny among russian soldiers and Ukraine stiff resistance were the reason they pull back. Finally, Russia has succeeded in creating enemies everywhere. None of neighbours will ever trust them. It will take a while before they can bounce. 1 Like 1 Share |

Foreign Affairs / Russian Families Turn To Ukrainian Hotline In Desperate Search For Lost Soldiers by donttouchme: 6:28am On Mar 08, 2022 |
Kyiv, Ukraine — "Excuse me for disturbing you, I'm calling regarding my brother." "Do you have any information about my husband?" "Hello hotline, is this the place that you can find out if a person is alive?" These are excerpts from audio recordings made to a Ukrainian government-run hotline. Mothers and fathers, wives, siblings and others are engaged in a desperate search for their loved ones as Russia's war with Ukraine extends seemingly without end. The shaky voices at the end of the line are not calling to search for Ukrainians, however -- they are looking for information on Russian soldiers. In recordings shared exclusively with CNN by the Ukrainian officials operating the hotline, the desperation and uncertainty in the callers' voices sheds light on how tightly Moscow is controlling communications about the war. The recordings indicate that many Russian soldiers seemed to not have known what their plans were or why they were being deployed, and bolster reports of Russian soldiers being denied communication with their families. A wife, speaking through tears, calls with a desperate inquiry about her husband: Translated transcript of phone call OPERATOR When was the last time he contacted you? CALLER, WIFE OF A RUSSIAN SOLDIER On February 23 when he crossed the border. OPERATOR Did he tell you where he was going? CALLER He said towards Kyiv. OPERATOR Did he say why? CALLER He didn't say anything else, no. Videos have appeared online since the invasion began on February 24 showing Ukrainian civilians and soldiers allowing Russian soldiers to call home and speak with their parents. The hotline, called "Come Back From Ukraine Alive," was established by the Ukrainian Interior Ministry, which has acknowledged that the initiative is both a humanitarian and a propaganda tool. Kristina, a pseudonym for the woman tasked with running the hotline, asked CNN not to disclose her identity for security reasons. She is a psychologist by training. Kristina, a psychologist by training, takes calls from Russians seeking information about their relatives in the Russian Army. Kristina, a psychologist by training, takes calls from Russians seeking information about their relatives in the Russian Army. From an undisclosed location in Ukraine's capital Kyiv she explained the aims of the hotline. "First of all, we will help [the Russian solders] find their relatives who were deceived and without knowing where and why they are going and found themselves in our country. And secondly, we will help to stop the war in general," she told CNN. Since being established in the opening salvos of this war, the hotline has been ringing non-stop, Kristina said. It has taken more than 6,000 calls since February 24. The calls have come from locations as far apart as Vladivostok in Russia's far east and Rostov-on-Don, close to the Ukrainian border. Logs also show some of the calls have originated outside of Russia, coming from across Europe and even as far away as the United States, including from the states of Virginia, New York and Florida. CNN spoke with three people who called from the United States to confirm that they had indeed rung the hotline and see if they had received any information from the Ukrainian Interior Ministry about their loved ones. Marat, who lives in Virginia and is not being fully identified by CNN to protect his privacy, said that he had found a photo of his cousin's ID card on a Ukrainian government-connected Telegram channel called "Find Your Missing," or "Ishi Svouik" in Russian. The channel is dedicated to publishing information about captured, injured or killed Russians fighting in Ukraine. It posts photos of passports, names, dog tags and military unit information. A picture of a Russian soldier's ID card shared in a Ukrainian government-connected Telegram channel. A picture of a Russian soldier's ID card shared in a Ukrainian government-connected Telegram channel. Marat is pretty candid about his cousin's likely fate. "We do realize that all the signs are pointing to that most likely he was killed in action, but (we are) still trying to locate information where is the body that can be potentially found. Or maybe hopefully, he's alive," he said. Marat's family in Ufa, Russia, asked him to call the hotline for fear of prompting reprisals from Russian authorities by searching for their son. "The family is trying to not get contacted by anybody because everybody is so scared in Russia. Everyone's scared to talk, everyone's afraid of law enforcement agencies tracking them," said Marat. What is increasingly clear is the grip Russian President Vladimir Putin has on the narrative of this war at home. The only acknowledgement of casualties has been an anodyne statement from the Russian Ministry of Defense, saying that 498 had died. Marina, another caller who CNN reached by phone in Florida, said her aunt was not getting any information from the Russian Ministry of Defense. "They tried to find him, but no one is answering," Marina said. So, she felt her only hope was to call the Ukrainian hotline, but it didn't have any information yet on her cousin. "They just told me that as soon as they will have some information... because I was, you know, hoping that he is like maybe in prison or something like that, you know, that he's still alive?" Marina said. A senior Ukrainian government official told CNN that the hotline had connected dozens of Russian families to Russian soldiers in Ukraine. "We invited them to come to Ukraine to meet with their sons, but so far none have decided (to do so)." According to officials working on the hotline, the vast majority who called said that their sons or husbands had told them they were sent for reservist training or military exercises and that many lost contact with their families on February 22 or 23, just before Russia invaded Ukraine. Back in Kyiv, Kristina, the hotline director, is haunted by the calls she has taken. Through streams of tears, she said: "A father called ... he said 'our kids are being used as expendables, as [a] meat shield. The politicians, the big people are playing their games, solving their issues, while our kids are dying, because somebody wants to make money on it or satisfy personal ambitions and become a King of the World.'" That view from callers is not an exception. In one of the recordings shared with CNN, a distraught wife, crying, phones in. CALLER, ANOTHER WIFE OF A RUSSIAN SOLDIER Hello. Is this the place where I can find out if the person is alive? OPERATOR Yes you can pass the information on a person. Through tears, she mumbles his name and date of birth. OPERATOR When did you lose connection with him? CALLER Long time ago. OPERATOR What do you mean a long time ago — was it a month, two months ago? CALLER More than two months. Following an exchange about the hotline and personal information, the wife continues: CALLER Are you from Ukraine? OPERATOR Yes, I'm from Ukraine. CALLER I'm sorry! This is not our fault... I'm scared. They didn't choose this. Kristina recounts how she took another call from a fiancée looking for her husband-to-be. "It touched me she was asking for forgiveness. She kept saying, 'Forgive us, we did not want to attack you. This is not our war. We did not want to do this.'" Yet, the hotline isn't just designed to offer answers, it is also a propaganda tool, to galvanize Russians against the war -- a war that now seems increasingly likely to be protracted and bloody. "We are trying not to think how long this will go on for," said Kristina. "We just hope that this will end shortly. The more people we can share the truth about what's happening in Ukraine with -- the more people will go out on streets protesting and demanding to stop this bloodshed." A call from a man looking for his paratrooper brother sums up the situation. "Good luck guys. The whole civilized world supports you. We believe in you," he says. Above all, if the calls show anything, it is that this is not Russia's war -- it is Putin's. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/03/07/europe/ukraine-hotline-russian-soldiers-intl-cmd/index.html

Politics / Elon Musk Mocks Russia Over Stopping Of Rocket Engine by donttouchme: 11:25pm On Mar 04, 2022 |
Elon Musk points to recent SpaceX launch to mock Russia's suggestion the US might have to fly into space on 'broomsticks' after rocket sales stop. Russia announced it would stop selling rocket engines to the US after American sanctions. Musk bit back at the Russian space chief's suggestion the US fly to space on "broomsticks." Musk tweeted "American Broomstick," pointing to SpaceX's rocket launch hours after the comment. Elon Musk took a jab at Russia's recent suggestion the US would have to get to space on broomsticks after the sale of Russian rocket engines was halted. Dmitry Rogozin, the head of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, said on Thursday that Russia would no longer supply rocket engines to the US after President Joe Biden's sanctions over the war in Ukraine. "In a situation like this, we can't supply the United States with our world's best rocket engines," Rogozin said on state-run TV. "Let them fly on something else, their broomsticks, I don't know what." Hours after Rogozin's comments, SpaceX launched 47 of its own Starlink satellites into orbit using the company's Falcon 9 rocket. Musk responded to a video of SpaceX's launch on Twitter with a screenshot of Rogozin's comments highlighted along with the words "American Broomstick" and four US flags. —Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 3, 2022 It's not the first time Musk has confronted Rogozin. When Rogozin criticized Musk for offering Starlink internet in Ukraine, Musk tweeted: "Ukraine civilian Internet was experiencing strange outages – bad weather perhaps? – so SpaceX is helping fix it." After Starlink went live in Ukraine over the weekend, one engineer told Insider that he was using the system for emergencies in case his regular internet connection was cut off. Starlink, SpaceX's satellite internet service, now has more than 2,000 satellites in orbit. Musk warned Starlink users in Ukraine to turn on the system "only when needed" because they could be targeted amid the invasion. https://news.yahoo.com/elon-musk-points-recent-spacex-123420192.html 5 Likes 1 Share

Foreign Affairs / Ukraine Has Thanked Tech Billionaire Elon Musk After Equipment To Use Spacex's S by donttouchme: 2:27am On Mar 02, 2022 |
The SpaceX chief executive officer said over the weekend that Starlink, a satellite-based system designed to bring internet access to underserved areas of the world, was now "active" in Ukraine and more equipment to use it was on the way. Ukraine has thanked tech billionaire Elon Musk after equipment to use SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service arrived in the country. Mr Musk replied with "you are most welcome" after Ukraine's vice prime minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, expressed his thanks on Twitter. Mr Fedorov also shared an image of the Starlink dishes on the back of a truck. The vice prime minister had earlier asked Mr Musk for use of the service. The SpaceX chief executive officer said over the weekend that Starlink was now "active" in Ukraine and more equipment to use it was on the way. Starlink is a satellite-based internet system that SpaceX has been building for years to bring internet access to underserved areas of the world. The terminals look like home satellite television dishes and can provide relatively fast internet service, by residential standards, by connecting to a fleet of satellites in low orbit. John Scott-Railton, a senior researcher at the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab project, has warned the terminals could become Russian targets. He tweeted: "Re: @elonmusk's starlink donation. Good to see. But remember: if #Putin controls the air above #Ukraine, users' uplink transmissions become beacons ... for airstrikes." https://news.sky.com/story/ukraine-thanks-elon-musk-after-arrival-of-spacexs-starlink-satellite-equipment-12555087

Politics / Federal High Court Abuja Nullifies Apc Governorship Primary That Produced Andy U by donttouchme: 1:49pm On Dec 21, 2021 |
A Federal High Court, Abuja, on Monday, nullified the participation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, Andy Uba, in the Nov. 6 Anambra governorship election. Justice Inyang Ekwo, in a judgment, held that the June 26 primary of the party which produced Uba as its standard-bearer was not validly conducted. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Chief George Moghalu, an aspirant in the APC primary election had challenged the process and the outcome of the primary election that produced Uba as the party’s candidate. Moghalu, who was the plaintiff, had sued the party, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and Uba as 1st to 3rd defendants respectively. Delivering the judgment, Justice Ekwo aligned with the plaintiff’s arguments that the June 26 primary election breached the provisions of the Electoral Act and the APC guidelines for the conduct of the exercise. He held that the plaintiff had successfully demonstrated that the primary election was not conducted in accordance with the law and the party’s guidelines. “Therefore, the case of the plaintiff succeeds on its merit,” he said. Ekwo held that since the election was conducted illegally, the APC (1st defendant) cannot be a beneficiary of the Nov. 6 election which produced the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) candidate, Prof. Charles Soludo, as the winner of the poll outcome. The judge, therefore, declared that the APC had no candidate in the Anambra governorship election by non-inclusion of the name of Moghalu in the primary election, and the conduct of the poll in contravention of the Electoral Act and the party’s guidelines. “The 2nd defendant (INEC) is compelled to delist the name of the 1st defendant and 3rd defendant from the Nov. 6, Anambra governorship election,” he ordered. According to the judge, any election conducted contrary to the 1st defendant guideline is in nullity. “The real issue was not whether accredited members of 1st defendant voted on that day but whether the election was conducted in accordance with the election guidelines of 1st defendant,” he held. He also said that the evidence of the police report confirmed that the election was conducted outside the time frame. Ekwo, who described the conduct of the primary by APC as “crude and primitive,” ordered that the N22.5 million paid by Moghalu as expression of interest and nomination forms be refunded since the party failed to complied with the provisions of the law and its guidelines. NAN reports that Moghalu had, in July, filed the suit at the court, seeking an order removing Uba and the APC from the list of gubernatorial candidates and political parties partaking in the Anambra governorship election on the grounds that the party failed to conduct a valid primary election. He also demanded N122.5 million as damages, which include a refund for the fee paid for expression of interest and nomination forms and N100 million “for the breach of contract to commence and conclude primary election”. INEC had picked Uba, winner of the APC primary election, as the party’s candidate. In the affidavit in support of the suit, the plaintiff said the APC failed to conclude the selection and nomination process for its candidate for the Nov. 6 governorship poll. He said the APC had chosen to adopt direct primary, which is why the party published the list of designated venues for the exercise. Moghalu said the party received N22.5 million for the expression of interest form and nomination form, including from him, “to allow him to participate in the primary election exercise”. He further said he was informed a day before the primaries that the APC electoral committee would address all aspirants and stakeholders in Akwa. “Shockingly, on June 26, 2021, the said election committee was not seen anywhere in Anambra; no accreditation of voters took place; no voting and collation of votes occurred in all the 326 wards of Anambra state,” he said. He said the committee “announced election results it did not conduct, and which fakery was credited to the 3rd defendant as the winner of the primary election scheduled for emergence as APC’s candidate in the November 6 governorship election in Anambra”. Moghalu also argued that the party did not invite the INEC in line with the law requiring the commission to monitor the exercise.
