DaunteWright: The actor-turned-president is due to speak at the country’s largest song competition
Tens of thousands of Italians have signed a petition protesting Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s planned address at a Eurovision-style song contest. Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini told reporters that the event “should remain the festival of Italian song and nothing else.”
The petition, which blames the Ukrainian conflict on NATO and on Kiev’s “brutal repression” of Russian-speakers in Donbass, has gained around 33,000 signatures, Reuters reported on Friday morning.
It calls on the organizers of the Sanremo Music Festival – a Eurovision-style contest held every year since the 1950s – to withdraw their invitation to Zelensky, who is set to speak via video link on the final night of the contest on February 11.
“Zelensky? I don’t know how he sings,” Salvini told journalists on Thursday. “If I have time to watch [state television] it will be to listen to songs, not to listen to anything else.”
Salvini said that while he supports the “Western position” on the conflict, the stage at Sanremo should “remain reserved for music.”
Former lawmaker Alessandro Di Battista is organizing a “counter-festival” to protest Zelensky’s appearance, Italy’s Il Post newspaper reported, while Gianni Cuperlo of the center-left Democratic Party declared that the organizers of the Sanremo festival shouldn’t “confuse” politics with entertainment.
In the 11 months since Russia’s military operation in Ukraine began, Zelensky has been on a PR blitz in the West. The former actor and comedian has addressed the Glastonbury music festival in the UK, spoken at the Cannes and Venice film festivals, and earlier this month appeared at the Golden Globes, all via video link from Kiev.
Zelensky himself requested permission to speak at Sanremo, Il Post reported.
Support for Zelensky and NATO’s efforts in Ukraine is lower in Italy than in most Western European countries. According to a poll published earlier this month, 50% of Italians oppose their country’s arms shipments to Kiev, while around the same number favor a quick end to the conflict, even if that involves Ukraine conceding lost territory.
Nevertheless, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has pledged her “full commitment to supporting the Ukrainian cause.”
You don follow join the vacant skulls club. More grease to your elbows.
StephonClarkS2: Moscow was wondering if the NATO chief took Western citizens for “morons” when he claimed the bloc is not party to the conflict.
NATO is fully engaged in the Ukrainian conflict, and people in member states should see through the deception, when the bloc's leadership claims otherwise, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said. She cited recent remarks made by its Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg to German media, in which he reiterated the non-involvement claim.
Do you actually consider the citizens of the EU and NATO total morons?” she wondered, during a media briefing on Friday. “Do you believe that as you send tanks, which require maintenance … you still are not party to the conflict? Who are you, then? Explain. Just invent some new term to identify yourself.”
Citizens of NATO states should know: their bloc is fully engaged in confrontation with our nation, and this confrontation is escalating.
Stoltenberg and others who deny Western participation are at odds with German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, who this week shared her assessment that the EU was “at war with Russia,” Zakharova observed. Berlin’s foreign policy chief has “crossed out” all assurances to the contrary made by the NATO chief, she also said.
Baerbock’s remark faced pushback from other members of the EU, who rejected the German official’s narrative. Croatian President Zoran Milanovic said that his nation’s being at war with Russia was news to him and wished Berlin “good luck this time” unlike during World War II.
Zakharova accused Stoltenberg of “lying to the people of Ukraine for many years” to incite hostilities with Russia. Western leaders also lied when they negotiated the Minsk Agreements, she added, referring to the 2014-2015 deal that was supposed to resolve the conflict in Donbass.
Those agreements were mediated by then-Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel and then-President of France Francois Hollande, who co-signed a declaration of their endorsement with then-Ukrainian President Pyotr Poroshenko and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Poroshenko, Merkel and Hollande acknowledged last year that, in reality, the process was meant to afford Ukraine time for a military build-up.

No mind the idiots. Their mumu dey new every morning.
Napata77: What makes an idiot like you think America is not an ''authoritarian power''?
See how CNN propaganda has dumbed you down, and made you a mumu?
''According to Kelly and Laycock's book, the United States has invaded or fought in 84 of the 193 countries recognized by the United Nations and has been militarily involved with 191 of 193 – a staggering 98 percent.''
How many countries has Russia invaded in history?
Two? Three?
See how brainwashed you are by western media?
Napata77, in my neighbourhood we have a beautiful six year old, challenged to a vast degree. He's a special child; that's my word to describe such innocent soul. He's grown to become very comfortable around me cos I listen to him and ve warned my little ones not to ever use harsh words on him or even mention the word iimmbbecile, around him or anyone, to describe him. Guess what? I still get a good dose of reasonable responses when I interact with that child, communicating with gestures and illustrations, than with any of your breeds alive today. I don't know how Gawd wired you.., that you look all wound up into a heap of mess and embarrassment to civility, even in its simplest form. You don't know what being authoritarian implies. If you're sick, please don't roam. I'm unavailable. Don't check back.
owobokiri: Game changer when you're beating up some struggling countries with their fledging militaries like Iraq, Syria or Libya.. But just some sitting ducks when you are dealing with some sophisticated military power houses like China and Russia. The West has decided to declare a full blown war against Russia through Ukraine. The global repercussions will be telling..
Some of you celebrated the socalled HIMARS as the "game changer" in Ukraine too. Have you noticed that the Western media seldom talks about the HIMARS anymore? You know why? Russia quickly upgraded her anti missile defense systems (Pantsir-S1) to curtail the nuisance of them HIMARS. In few weeks!
You don't seem to understand how sophisticated the Russian military industrial complex is....
Keep watching! Slowly but surely, Ukraine will be bought to her knees. I have nothing against the Ukrainians, but NATOs wayward expansions and bombings across the world is starting to look like the beginning of another round of Western colonialism, and everyone in the developing world should have enough reasons to tighten their anuses.
darediamond: So now that Russia is about to eat up Ukrain which she was using kid glove to treat, you now think NATO members nations can in fragments match up with RUSSIA?
Do you even know the meaning of the word association and or organisation at all?
I laugh in Putin.
...and reason in rubbles and ashes. You need an apartment in a clinic. You need delicate care.
A Russian frigate carrying 'unstoppable' Mach 9 nuclear-capable hypersonic cruise missiles has deviated from its course and is sailing towards the US coast, reports have claimed.
The Admiral Gorshkov, armed with Zircon missiles which Vladimir Putin boasts has 'no equivalent in the world', is being closely monitored by NATO navies during its maiden voyage.
Earlier this month, the frigate was escorted through British waters by the Royal Navy, and French and Spanish ships then escorted it through the Atlantic.
It was scheduled to head south past South Africa to the Indian Ocean then enter the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal.
But monitoring sites claim it took a sudden diversion and headed west towards Bermuda.
An unconfirmed Russian Telegram channel report says the warship was 'spotted on radar in neutral waters of the Atlantic Ocean - at an effective salvo launch distance from the US coast'.
The Russian defence ministry has not commented on the Navodka channel claim.
Putin personally took part - remotely - in the farewell ceremony when the warship departed from Arctic naval base Severomorsk on 4 January.
He made clear this mission was intended as a show of strength to the West.
He boasted that NATO could not match his 'latest-generation' hypersonic firepower.
He said: 'I am sure that such a powerful weapon will allow us to reliably protect Russia from potential external threats and help ensure our country's national interests.'
The cutting-edge frigate Gorshkov is due to sail to the Indian Ocean and Mediterranean on this mission.
Next month it will take part in exercises with the Chinese and South African navies near the ports of Durban and Richards Bay.
It is not clear why the frigate would head towards the US.
Royal Navy Type 23 frigate HMS Portland monitored the Russian warship and accompanying tanker Kama as they sailed close to the UK.
Earlier the Norwegian navy paid close attention to Putin's hypersonic mission.
Moscow has boasted that the Gorshkov is 'the most dangerous enemy of surface ships in the world's oceans' now it is armed with the new hypersonic missile.
The frigate's captain Igor Krokhmal has said previously: 'No one will see the missile launch or its flight.
'They will only see when the missile hits the target.
'A surface target, a coastal target. I don't think there will be anything to counter this in the next few years.'
The MOD who posted this needs medic checkup asap. Nairaland and her reputation for honoring fools.

Kavod: HE IS TALKING OUT OF PAIN, LOOK AT THE RATES OF BABY MAMAS AND DIVORCE RATE IN NIGERIA. WHO WONT BE SAD? REMEMBER YOU WOULD ALSO HAVE A DAUGHTER AND SHE WOULD LOOK UP TO THESE WOMEN AND WANT TO BECOME LIKE THEM. NOBODY WANTS A PROSTITUTE FOR A DAUGHTER, WELL MAYBE YOU WANT SHA..... MARRIAGES IS NOW A SHAM AND 80% OF MARRIED WOMEN I KNOW ARE INTO HOOK UP AND SUGAR MUMMIES BUT WHAT SURPRISES ME THE MOST IS THAT THEY DONT HIDE IT ANYMORE. GO TO A MINI-S-MARKET AND THE MARRIED FEMALE OWNERS JUST WALK UP TO YOU AND SAY HER PIECE OF DIS-HONOURABLE WORDS WITHOUT SHAME. MY ONLY MARRIED FRIENDS WIFE IS SOMETHING ELSE, BUT WE JUST CHOOSE NOT TO TELL HIM. ITS VERY SAD
Sad that most women can't stand the truth, without window dressing
Ebuka Uchendu on one end, Frank Edoho on the other. Investment in the industry of decay and destruction on one end, investment in the industry of educative varieties on the other. More empowerment for fast tracking the loss of value for women on one end, bigger windows to offer room for growth for women of intellect on the other. Slay grandmas and drug lords as leaders like bladabluu on one end, rise of nation builders with immense initiative like Peter Obi on the other end. An uncertain future in darkness on one end, a bright tomorrow with dividends from constructive ideals to reap from the youths on the other end. Till tomorrow,the average black man doesn't know the right things to copy from the wild West. I respect China for this.

Some groups have began a movement in America to take her back from the grips of sodomy and decay. It's gaining momentum everyday. They know the deep secrets for their prosperity. We live in a world of principles. Even reckless winds have paths and periods.
AsomArchitectNG: It's quite sad with what our girls are turning themselves into... Getting a high moral valued girl today is like looking for a needle in an ocean. We just concluded our 3bedroom construction project in oron Akwa ibom, see link in signature for project updates from start to finishing.
ElijahMcClain: The benefits of BRICS outweighs any financial allotment from the West/US. South Africa has proven that it has rational decision makers. Thier character is worthy of emulation. South Africa isn't dependent on unproductive US aid. This has empowered and enable them to exert their authority on the world stage and reward the mandate/confidence reposed in the SA govt by South Africans.
DebbyParkway: My question was, South Africa isn't dependent on US Aid. Is Nigeria dependent? Unproductive financial allocations is an invalid justification for impeding a nation from fulfilling it's international obligations or establishing foreign relations with other countries. US aid is an unsatisfactory excuse for subservience.
Require Unable to do without
Contingent on
You're just being a proper idiot. I watch you run up and down here posting craps out of emotions. How many African countries were not given aid during the pandemic? Was it useless or useful? Keep deceiving yourself with 'dependent'. Wahala for who no get dictionary.
I blame our politicians for those Nigerians going to another 3rd World country in search of greener pastures.
I can't leave Nigeria and go to another African country to make a living, for what?
If I'm going to be sending you my taxpayer hard earned money in aids then, My enemy should be your enemy- simple!
SA should tell the US not to send aids to them again instead of all these barkings. You must be living in a fools paradise if you think Russia likes Africa. Russia is only looking for validation anywhere it can buy it
No mind the idiots. Supporting Russia and receiving Western aids at the same time. Even SA's greatest hero, Nelson Mandela achieved his goal on the platform of Western democracy. Ukraine's democracy is being threatened and all SA can do is support her inflictors, out of myopic sentiments. They can now tell the US face to face what they want and don't; a cool offer of democracy. Can they do that to Russia? Ukraine is going through hell because it doesn't want Russia to dictate what shape her Sovereignty should take. South Africa is exercising the same liberty with America and feeling fly. Something she can't try with an authoritarian world power. Las las, most Africans don't have a clue of what their problem is.
Dvdpity: You are stupid. You think that South Africa has forgotten the massacre commited by the West on its people. You are the biggest Fool here.
So you avenge a perceived enemy by backing up injustice on a neutral neighbour? You're doing well. SA still has a good number of Dutch population, a NATO member, running her economy on the low, besides being a huge beneficiary of Western grants. I don't expect you to know this. You can keep those insults for your household, where ignorance thrives with distinction. . Please don't check back. I'm unavailable.
[quote author=adamusuleiman3 post=120301666]The Morocco army sent an unknown number of T-72B tanks to be modernized in the Czech Republic and deployed to Ukraine, media reported on Sunday. They have been reportedly modernized by the Czech company Excalibur Army in the Czech town of Sternbeck.
In the photos dated January 9, when Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala visited the site, the old Moroccan tanks can be seen on the repair line. The report underlined that the turrets of the tanks are in the original colors of the Moroccan army (sand).
The United States has earlier promised financial aid to countries that decide to get rid of their Russian or Soviet military equipment. The report suggests that the Moroccan T-72s sent to Ukraine could be later replaced with M1 Abrams from the American military surplus.
The Moroccan army had originally purchased 148 T-72s, 136 T-72Bs and 12 T-72BKs from the Belarusian army in two batches in 1999 and 2000. Rabat's decision to deliver arms to Ukraine was made during the Ramstein Air Base summit on Ukraine in April, 2022 organized by the United States. Tunisia and Morocco were the only two countries representing north Africa at the event.
20 tanks were sent to the battlefield a week ago, after their modernization in the Czech Republic. The Kingdom of Morocco was the first in Africa to provide military assistance to our country. It is difficult to understand how Germany cannot send tanks pic.twitter.com/LTEUAu14w5
South Africa is fooling around with dictatorships. Africans are good at sitting on the fence when it comes to respinsibility. If this were to be Western grants them for don jump devour am since.
Late M.K.O Abiola sank a whole ship loaded with Bibles and the world turned a blind eye. A copy of the Quran was burnt and the global Muslim community won't let us rest. If you don't want the Quran to be burnt, then don't burn people because of it. Late Deborah Samuel comes to mind.
When some of us are advocating for a younger man that is agile and vibrant to take over the reins of power, some elements will say they prefer a grandfather to laud over.
But I hope this embarrassing video of moment that Paul Biya of Cameroun didn’t know where he was, at the recently concluded US-Africa Summit in Washington DC.
His aide kept trying to prompt him to give his speech after Paul Kagame of Rwanda had spoken but the old man was too unaware of everything to be aware of anything, as he farted intermittently.
It was the president of South Sudan 🇸🇸 urinating on himself in public.
Now, president of Cameroun not being aware of his environment.
Is that what we want for our country Nigeria 🇳🇬 too?
What an old man sees sitting, a child can't see standing. Age is wisdom... bla bla bla... These are popular submissions that Africans use to deceive themselves. In as much as I respect the elderly, I respect able hands too. They are two different things
