Israeli security forces have attacked Palestinians who gathered at the Old City of al-Quds to celebrate a Muslim holiday, injuring dozens of people including two children. A six-month-old baby and a child with special healthcare needs were injured overnight, the latter after being struck in the face with a stun canister fired by Israeli troops. The attack came as Palestinians gathered at Bab al-Amoud, also known as Damascus Gate, to celebrate the Muslim holiday of Isra and Mi'raj which marks the night Allah took Prophet Muhammad (Peace upon Him) on a journey from Mecca to al-Quds and then to heaven. Thousands of Palestinians observed the important occasion with worship at al-Aqsa Mosque. It is almost one month before the start of the holy fast month of Ramadan. Israeli forces intensified their presence and deployed heavily in Bab al-Amoud and the surrounding streets in preparation for an attack. According to the Palestine Red Crescent Society, the number of injured in the clashes in the flashpoint neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah and Bab al-Amoud has reached 36 people. In the occupied West Bank, Israeli troops raided Jenin refugee camp and shot dead a young Palestinian man. Local media identified him as Abdullah al-Hasri, a former prisoner held by Israel. Abdullah al-Hasri was a former prisoner held by Israel. Earlier Monday, Islamic Jihad head Ziyad al-Nakhalah called on Palestinian fighters to defend al-Quds and al-Aqsa Mosque against rising attacks by extremist Jewish settlers. Speaking at a ceremony entitled “Resistance is the path to liberation” in Gaza City, Nakhalah said Israeli demolition of Palestinian homes and killing of innocent people require resistance fighters not to hesitate for a moment in fighting the Israeli enemy. "It is a duty to engage Israeli military forces anywhere in the occupied West Bank, and disempower them," he said. Nakhalah reiterated his group's firm stance that the only pather before the Palestinian nation is resistance. Meanwhile, more than 220 scholars and academics from 14 Latin American countries denounced Israeli oppression and domination of Palestinians, stating that Tel Aviv must be branded as an apartheid regime. The scholars pledged in a joint statement that they would not participate in any academic exchanges with Israeli institutions, and would decline funding from Israel.

A woman who was injured by Russian shelling became the subject of conspiracy theories and false claims online Five days into the Russian invasion of Ukraine, false or misleading videos and images about the invasion continue to go viral. Among the things spreading quickly are old videos being depicted as current - along with claims that pictures such as the one above are old, even when they verifiably come from the present conflict. We've been looking into some of the most viral claims. False 'crisis actor' claims Claims have circulated online that images and clips from the destruction of a residential building in Chuhuiv, in eastern Ukraine, on Thursday are instead from a 2018 gas explosion in the Russian city of Magnitogorsk. Some also claimed that an image showing a bloodied woman at the scene was from 2018 or that she was a "crisis actor" - someone hired to act out scenes from an attack. These claims - made by a variety of pro-Russia and conspiracy- themed accounts - are false. Suggestions that pictures of a woman injured in Chuhuiv are from a 2018 gas explosion in Russia are wrong Although at first glance they may bear a superficial resemblance, images from the gas explosion in Magnitogorsk in 2018 do not correspond with images from Thursday's fire in Kharkiv. Early on Thursday, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine posted on Facebook saying they had been informed of "enemy fire" resulting in the death of one child and several other injuries. A journalist at the scene posted a video showing the aftermath of the fire, and other sources including photographers at the scene posted images from the same event onto social media. A comparison of the two incidents shows the difference between the Chuhuiv attack and the 2018 gas explosion in Russia Two photographers took images of the woman, and some of these photos appeared on websites and newspaper front pages all around the world over the weekend. Both photographers confirmed that the images were taken on 24 February - a fact further confirmed by metadata from the images which shows the same creation date. Young girl confronting soldier is not Ukrainian However, other photos and videos posted in recent days don't show what some people say they are depicting. A blurry video claiming to show a Ukrainian girl confronting a Russian soldier has generated 12 million views on TikTok and nearly one million views on Twitter. But it actually shows Palestinian girl Ahed Tamimi , aged 11 at the time, confronting an Israeli soldier after her older brother was arrested in 2012. Twitter has labelled the video "out of context", but it continues to rack up views on TikTok. An old video of a Palestinian young girl confronting an Israeli soldier has gone viral Molotov cocktail fight in Kyiv Different versions of a video claiming to show Kyiv residents fighting Russian motorised infantry with Molotov cocktails went viral on multiple platforms over the weekend. It led many users to believe it showed clashes between Ukrainian citizens and Russian forces, and was shared by two British MPs. Ukraine conflict: Many misleading images shared online Ukraine conflict: Further false images shared online This video of a Molotov cocktail fight in Kyiv was taken during Euromaidan protests in 2014 But the video is old. It was taken during the Euromaidan protests in 2014 , which led to the toppling of Ukraine's then-president, Viktor Yanukovych. Video game clip goes viral A dramatic video appearing to show a Ukrainian pilot shooting down a Russian fighter jet was tweeted by Nexta TV, a Belarussian outlet that became a major source for videos from the anti-government protests in Belarus following the disputed 2020 presidential election . The clip shows a jet on fire followed by the sound of a huge blast - and was viewed nearly a million times. A video from the military video game Arma 3 drew one million views However, it is not real. It is a clip from the video game Arma 3 and unrelated to the war in Ukraine. Did Ukrainian kids see off troops? An image showing two children seeing off a convoy of Ukrainian forces into battle has generated millions of engagements - likes and shares. It was tweeted by US Congressman Adam Kinzinger and former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt, among others. This image from 2016 has generated millions of engagements online But the image was old - it was first published in 2016. It was taken by a volunteer photographer for the Ukrainian defence ministry who was later dismissed over allegations that he had staged some of his combat images. Kyiv mayor on the front line An image of Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko has gone viral on Instagram claiming to show him on the front line. But again, it's an old photo - first posted by Mr Klitschko to his Instagram account in March 2021, showing him at the Desna training centre in the Chernihiv region . Despite this misleading image, it is true that Mr Klitschko has been defending his city alongside Ukrainian troops during this conflict. This image of Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko is from March 2021 Did Zelensky drink tea with Ukrainian forces? A video claiming to show Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in military fatigues giving a morale boost to Ukrainian forces by drinking tea with them on the battlefield racked up nearly 3 million views over the weekend. The video is genuine, but it was shot a week ago, before the invasion began. It was taken in Shyrokyne, when President Zelensky visited frontline soldiers to show support for his troops. This video is from last week, before the war began Meanwhile, a Telegram account in Mr Zelensky's name drew attention over the weekend, posting messages that urged Ukrainian forces to drop their weapons and surrender. But it was fake. Mr Zelensky has a verified Telegram channel, and has been addressing the nation throughout the conflict via snappy videos posted to his verified social accounts

i am really not ok with news no images or videos.. this was how America claim no damages when iran struck their bases in iraq and later said 99 person had brain damages...

The president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has acknowledged that the sweeping sanctions the bloc has imposed on Russia in recent days over Moscow’s military operation in Ukraine will have a negative impact on Europeans, too. Responding to a Euronews correspondent’s remark on Sunday that “ of course Europeans and Europe will have to pay a price for these measures, ” von der Leyen replied in the affirmative, saying that “ every war comes at a cost. ” However, according to the official, Brussels is not daunted by the possible economic blowback from the Russia sanctions, and will continue to prop up Ukraine with a “ strong solidarity. ” The EU boss listed the bloc’s willingness to take in Ukrainian refugees, the “ financial support, ” as well as the “ military equipment support” as proof that the EU is committed to backing Kiev. The European Commission president also opined that Ukraine shares “ EU values ” and is defending its “ principles. ”
On Friday, Paschal Donohoe, the Irish Minister for Finance and President of the Eurogroup – a body that is comprised of finance ministers of the Euro area – also stated that “ there will be economic costs ” for Europe which “ will emerge over the coming weeks and months.” The official added that the “ impact will be different for different member states. ” Donohoe reassured everyone, however, that the Euro zone’s finance ministers would review their fiscal plans in the near future, and make sure there was enough support for the European economy. The president of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde, for her part, said that she saw rising energy prices and sagging business confidence and consumption as the two main risk factors for the EU’s economy. She clarified that “ persistent uncertainty will probably be a drag on consumption and investment, and will impede growth, ” while dismissing concerns over the sanctions’ impact on trade as insignificant. European Commission Vice President, Valdis Dombrovskis, too, suggested that the “ crisis will weigh on EU growth, ” however, according to him, it “ will not stop EU growth” entirely. Since February 24, the EU as a whole, as well as individual member states, have slapped a raft of crippling sanctions on Russia, with the freezing of Moscow’s central bank’s assets being one of the latest blows. Last Thursday, Russian President, Vladimir Putin, announced the beginning of what he described as a special military operation in Ukraine, with the aim being the “demilitarization and denazification” of the country. Ukraine and its Western allies accused Russia of waging an aggressive war and seeking to install a pro-Russian puppet government in Kiev.

Moscow and Kiev are set to hold talks in Belarus on Monday amid Russia’s military operation in Ukraine. Russia attacked the neighboring state early Thursday morning, arguing that it was defending the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, two regions with a sizeable portion of Russian speakers, which broke off from Ukraine shortly after the 2014 coup in Kiev. Ukraine said the move was an act of unprovoked aggression. The talks are scheduled to begin in Belarus somewhere close to the Ukrainian border. The Belarusian Foreign Ministry published a photo of the room for the negotiations on Monday morning. The country is prepared to organize the talks “at any moment,” Anatoly Glaz, a foreign ministry spokesman, said. Sputnik Belarus quoted a source on Monday as saying the Ukrainians have arrived in the country. The talks were initially expected to take place in the city of Gomel in eastern Belarus on Saturday, but the Ukrainians refused to send a team due to disagreements over the location and preliminary terms, Kiev said at the time. Ukrainian officials argued that it was inappropriate to hold talks in Belarus because Russian troops were using its territory to stage attacks against Ukraine. Minsk denied that its forces were participating in the Russian operation.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced on Sunday that the EU will ban the Russian media outlets RT and Sputnik accusing them of spreading “harmful disinformation.” She did not specify whether this ban will apply solely to television broadcasts, or whether RT and Sputnik’s websites will be affected. In what she called an “unprecedented” step, von der Leyen announced that “we will ban in the European Union the Kremlin’s media machine.” “The state owned Russia Today and Sputnik, as well as their subsidiaries, will no longer be able to spread their lies to justify Putin’s war and to sow division in our union,” she continued. “We are developing tools to ban toxic and harmful disinformation in Europe.” Von der Leyen’s move comes a day after the Association of European Journalists called on the EU to implement a bloc-wide ban on RT, and have its journalists “removed.” It also comes several days after the EU sanctioned RT’s editor-in-chief, Margarita Simonyan. Simonyan responded to the latest ban by declaring that “not a single person who faithfully worked and continues to work for us will be laid off in any country.” RT has previously faced censorship in Europe, with German regulators banning its German-language channel earlier this month. More recently, Google subsidiary YouTube and Facebook parent company Meta demonetized RT’s accounts on Saturday, while Google blocked downloads of RT’s app on Ukrainian territory earlier on Sunday. Immediately before announcing the ban on RT and Sputnik, von der Leyen revealed that the EU will also close off its airspace to all Russian aircraft, and will supply Ukraine with weapons.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced the creation of the International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine, which will enlist foreigners who want to fight for the country against Russia. On Sunday, Zelensky addressed the citizens of foreign countries, saying Russia’s offensive is not just an invasion of Ukraine, but the “ beginning of a war against Europe. ” Therefore, he said that anyone who wants to join the fight and “ stand side by side ” with Ukrainians was welcome to do so. “ The leadership of Ukraine invites all foreigners who wish to join the resistance to the Russian occupiers and to protect world security to come to our state and to join the ranks of the Territorial Defense Forces. A separate unit of foreigners is being formed – the International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine ,” he said.

Joining would be “ key evidence ” of support for Ukraine, he added. Since Russia launched its offensive, NATO member states have promised to supply weapons to Ukraine. However, the bloc announced that it has no plans to send troops – leading Zelensky to claim that Ukraine was left to defend itself “ alone .” Russian President Vladimir Putin explained the launch of the military operation by the urgent necessity to “ demilitarize Ukraine ,” to protect the republics of Donbass and to ensure that Russia would not be placed under threat by NATO from Ukrainian territory. The West has responded to the offensive by imposing tough new sanctions on Russia.

The Bank of Russia (the Central Bank) will provide domestic banks
with cash and non-cash liquidity in rubles in order to maintain
financial stability and protect the economy from the impact of the
latest Ukraine-related Western sanctions, the regulator said in a
statement on Sunday.
“ The Bank of Russia will continuously provide banks with cash and
non-cash liquidity in rubles. The REPO (repurchase agreement)
auction on Monday will be held on an unlimited basis, with full
satisfaction of all applications received from banks, ” the statement
released by the press service of the Central Bank reads.
The regulator added that it will also “ significantly expand ” its
Lombard List, which includes the securities it is ready to accept as
collateral for backing credit institutions’ refinancing operations, for
“ maximum coverage of the possible needs of banks in current
liquidity.”
“ The Bank of Russia has the necessary resources and tools to
maintain financial stability and ensure the operational continuity of
the financial sector,” it said, adding that the country’s banking
system is “stable, has sufficient capital and liquidity to function
smoothly in any situation, ” funds held on bank accounts are safe,
and banking services will be provided as usual.

The statement comes after a group of Western nations, including
the EU, US, UK, and Canada, announced a package of sanctions
targeting the Russian economy on Saturday, amid the ongoing
Russian military operation in Ukraine.
The measures include the freezing of assets held by the Russian
Central Bank and cutting off an unspecified number of Russian
financial institutions from the SWIFT international system of
interbank transfers. The first measure aims to block Russia from
using its reserve assets to tackle the impact of Western sanctions
on its economy, the second – to sever the ability of Russian banks
to conduct transactions internationally.
According to the Central Bank, however, the transfer of financial
messages within the country is provided by its domestic Financial
Message Transfer System (SPFS), which does not depend on
SWIFT. According to Russian state development corporation
VEB.RF, the SPFS could be used for international transactions.
The head of the State Duma Financial Market Committee, Anatoly
Aksakov, said alternate ways also exist to keep international
transactions working, for instance, using the economic
infrastructure of friendly states. Some experts even claim that
cutting ties with SWIFT could be a positive development for Russia,
as it could propel the spread of the Russian ruble as an
international currency.

It is important to differentiate between Russia and the Russian people on one side and the corrupt autocratic dictator and thug who rule Russia, his name is Vladimir Putin by the way, on the other side.

Putin have ever since he took charge as the undisputed ruler of Russia in 1999 portrayed himself as the man who was the only one able to strengthen Russia and Russias economy.

With the last days brutal oppression against Ukraine, Russias economy is not only back when it was when Putin gained power. It is perhaps more safe to say back to the 1980s.

Putin has singlehandedly brought destruction upon Russia and the Russian people.
