The Russian military left the city on March 30, and on March 31 the city's mayor solemnly announced that everything was all right.
Then several The bodies were aligned with no sign of rigor mortis, bodily harmed and with fresh blood on them, they claimed this people were killed days ago.

From the ghost of Kiev to mauripol pregnant woman story and the use of ARCA video game scenes as actual footage of war in Ukraine,this is getting ridiculous and the west is pushing this narrative even without confirmation.
Russia has called an urgent UNSC meeting over this allegations to prevent evidence but the USA and UK has refused to allow it.
Why is the west refusing to allow evidence and independent probe into the incident if the attack really happened.

Foreign Affairs › Ukraine Says Its Defense Industry Has Been Destroyed by shogsman(op): 8:08pm On Mar 31, 2022
Kiev's official accused Moscow of trying to reduce Ukraine to a “destroyed territory” in which “no one would be interested”

Russian forces have almost completely destroyed the Ukrainian defense industry and are “finishing off” the civilian one, an adviser to President Volodymyr Zelensky, Alexey Arestovich, claimed on Thursday.

Commenting on the most recent round of the negotiations between Kiev and Moscow, which took place earlier this week in Istanbul, Arestovich underlined that any “large-scale military aggression and peace agreement are always compromises between the sides.”

“Because both sides suffer losses. If you think that we do not suffer losses, then you are deeply mistaken. They have practically destroyed our military industry and in many ways are finishing it off. And in many ways they are finishing off the civilian one, deliberately destroying it,” he explained.
He claimed that Russia’s goal is to reduce Ukraine to a state when “no one would be interested” in it, “like a destroyed territory.”

“This is exactly what they are doing and will keep doing,” he stressed.

Russia insists that it has not targeted civilian objects and accuses “Ukrainian nationalists” of using ordinary people as a “human shield.”

In Arestovich’s opinion, the recent round of negotiations has marked “a significant victory” for Ukrainian diplomacy. The presidential advisor claimed that Kiev did not accept any compromises and, instead, improved its position “along all negotiating lines.” He explained that, before the meeting in Istanbul, Ukraine was “a neutral state, without any guarantees, twice deceived.”

Guarantees are now appearing. Numerous countries – USA, UK, Poland, all permanent members of the UN Security Council, many other countries, China is being considered, Turkey - all these countries gave their consent to give us guarantees. And it’s not 1994, when no one believed in any war in Ukraine, but now, after the war happened and they understand that it may be repeated, and yet they are providing guarantees,” Arestovich said.

However, in an apparent contradiction to Arestovich’s claims, the White House Director of Communications Kate Bedingfield, when asked on Wednesday about Washington’s readiness to serve as a security guarantor for Kiev, said that there was nothing “specific” she could share “at this time,” though the US government was “in constant discussion with the Ukrainians.”

German authorities, meanwhile, confirmed that Ukraine could “100%” rely on their support when it comes to security guarantees. The Foreign Ministry of the country Annalena Baerbock emphasized though that, at this point, the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia had not advanced enough and thus Kiev and Moscow’s understanding of the proposals could be entirely different.

The round of negotiations between Ukraine and Russia in Istanbul on Tuesday was seen by many as a significant step to reaching an agreement.

Moscow attacked its neighbor in late February, following Ukraine’s failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements signed in 2014, and Russia’s eventual recognition of the Donbass republics in Donetsk and Lugansk. The German and French brokered protocols had been designed to regularize the status of those regions within the Ukrainian state.

Russia has now demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join the US-led NATO military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked and has denied claims it was planning to retake the two republics by force.

Sports › Ukraine Should Not Be Gifted World Cup Spot, Insists Boss by shogsman(op): 1:07pm On Mar 31, 2022
The playoff contenders are set to play Scotland in June after the match was postponed this month following the start of Russia's attack on Ukraine

Ukraine manager Oleksandr Petrakov has dismissed suggestions that his side should be given a place at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar rather than face potential playoff matches against Scotland and Wales that have been postponed following the start of Russia's attack on Ukraine.

Senior international managerial newcomer Petrakov's side should have known their fate by now after they were drawn to visit Scotland in the playoff semifinals on March 25, when a win would have sent them through to a decider in Wales on March 29.

Those games were postponed by playoff organizers UEFA until June, although Wales, Scotland and Ukraine will discover who they will face at the finals should they progress when the draw is made as part of the 72nd FIFA Congress in Doha on Friday.

There are concerns that the uncertainty in Ukraine could make it difficult for Petrakov and his squad to play matches in June, and some commentators have suggested that they could be given a bye to the finals.

One UK newspaper columnist said this week that Wales and Scotland could solve a "moral conundrum" by stepping aside to let Ukraine take part in the World Cup, which will take place in November and December.

Kiev-born and based Petrakov does not agree with the idea and has revealed that negotiations have been ongoing over the resumption of Ukraine's qualification campaign.

“We told everyone what we would do, how our affairs would go in the selection for the World Cup," the long-serving coach of his country's youth teams told Football24 via Championat.

"UEFA will tell us what date we will play in June. We discussed everything, we have a complete understanding of the situation, but I will not say what we will do next.

"'Gifted' access to the World Cup? We must play, get this ticket. I speak only for myself – there is also the [views of the] president and the executive committee of the UAF [Ukrainian FA]. But personally, I am against it – you need to play."

Andriy Yarmolenko, an English Premier League forward for West Ham and one of Petrakov's key players, has also shunned the prospect of Ukraine being granted automatic entry to the World Cup.

Petrakov initially said that he expected the playoff matches to take place on their original dates.

Responding days after the conflict began on February 24, the 64-year-old said he had spoken to Yarmolenko and compatriot Oleksandr Zinchenko, a defender for Manchester City, and shared their "shock" at the situation.

Ukraine, ranked 27th in the world by FIFA, face a tough challenge to qualify. Scotland are 12 places behind them but have won their last four competitive matches at home, while Wales are ranked 18th and were inspired by four-time Champions League winner Gareth Bale in their 2-1 semifinal win over Austria in Cardiff.

Former Dynamo Kiev assistant Petrakov was appointed as Ukraine legend Andriy Shevchenko's successor in August, overseeing the end of an unbeaten qualification campaign in which only World Cup holders France finished ahead of his team.

"We still have April and May to come and we will see what happens then. We are supposed to playing Scotland in June as well as Nations League games," Petrakov told Football 1 via ESPN this week. "But we can't think about them at the moment given the current situation."

Petrakov has also vowed never to speak Russian again despite describing the language as his mother tongue.

Foreign Affairs › UK Spy Chief Claims Russian Soldiers Refusing To Carry Out Orders, Shot Down Own by shogsman(op): 12:52pm On Mar 31, 2022
Disclaimer: A number of claims and counterclaims are being made on the Ukraine-Russia conflict on the ground and online. While WION takes utmost care to accurately report this developing news story, we cannot independently verify the authenticity of all statements, photos and videos.

The chief of Britain's Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) on Wednesday (March 30) claimed that some demoralised Russian soldiers in Ukraine have been disobeying orders and accidentally shot down one of their own aircraft.
The spy agency GCHQ chief Jeremy Fleming said that Russian President Vladimir Putin had "massively misjudged" the capabilities of Russia's once-mighty armed forces.
Fleming cited new intelligence and stated that there was evidence that Russian soldiers had low morale and were poorly equipped.


"We've seen Russian soldiers – short of weapons and morale – refusing to carry out orders, sabotaging their own equipment and even accidentally shooting down their own aircraft," Fleming said in a speech in Canberra at the Australian National University, according to a transcript of his remarks.

Fleming also claimed that Putin might have underestimated some major aspects before announcing his decision to invade Ukraine. He said, "Putin has massively misjudged the situation. We believe Putin’s advisers are afraid to tell him the truth."

The Russian leader might have misjudged the resistance of the Ukrainian people and the resolve of the West, which has punished Moscow with multiple economic sanctions.

On February 24, Russia ordered the so-called "military operation" in Ukraine. Since then, the invasion has killed thousands of people, displaced millions.

On one hand, such reports have claimed that the Russian forces are facing setbacks against Ukrainian resistance, but Russia's defence ministry says its armed forces are professional and carrying out their duty in Ukraine with considerable success.

The Russian military also says that the West has spread lies about the operation in an attempt to bring down Russia.


There are no comments yet by Kremlin on Jeremy Fleming's remarks.

Dropping Russian fossil fuels is a moral duty, President Zelensky said

The EU must speed up the transition to green energy in order to properly punish Russia for the attack against Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky told the Danish Parliament on Tuesday. He said Russia was able to launch its attack against his country thanks to the revenue from oil.

Zelensky addressed Danish lawmakers in a video address, in which he claimed that the damage done to his nation by Russia was already worse than during World War II, while urging them to increase the pressure on Moscow.

“Sanctions against Russia must be ramped up. Constantly. You need to reject Russian oil, block trade with the Russian Federation, close ports to Russian ships,” he said.

He added that the Russian attack serves as another argument for “speeding up [the] ‘green’ transformation on the continent,” arguing that the “crazy revenue from the energy trade allows the Russian leadership to be defiant, to break common rules.”

The Ukrainian president lashed out at Hungary for not being supportive enough of his country in the face of Russian military action.

“Europe should have no place for ‘branches’ of Russia splitting the EU from the inside, trying to help Russia earn even more money,” Zelensky said. “Everybody knows who in the EU opposes humanity and common sense. Who does nothing for peace in Ukraine. This must be stopped, and Europe should stop taking excuses from Budapest.”

The EU declared its intention to wean itself off Russian energy as it imposed unprecedented sanctions on Moscow in response to the crisis in Ukraine, but acknowledged it would take years to do so. The bloc is particularly reliant on Russian natural gas, which accounts for around 40% of total consumption and 45% of total imports.

Hungary opposed attempts to restrict energy imports from Russia, saying it depends on them to meet its basic demands. It also refused to allow arms shipments from NATO nations to pass through its territory to Ukraine, citing national security concerns.

The standoff over energy also has a financial aspect. Russia announced it no longer intends to sell gas to “unfriendly nations” for dollars or euros, two currencies that depend on Western financial institutions. Western nations seized Russia’s national reserves denominated in these currencies as part of the sanctions war. Moscow wants to be paid in its national currency, the ruble, instead.

Western nations have rejected the demand, saying it violates standing contracts. The EU is bracing for a potential escalation of tensions and disruption of supplies from Russia.

Foreign Affairs › German Trade Unions Explain What Would Happen Without Russian Energy by shogsman(op): 10:16am On Mar 30, 2022
Whole industries will stop operating almost instantly, the groups warned

Germany will see its major industries like steel, chemicals and paper shut down in a matter of weeks if it’s left without gas, oil and coal from Russia, the country’s top industrial unions have said.

The heads of IG Metall, IGBCE and IG Bau unions held a joint press-conference in Berlin on Tuesday to warn about the potential fallout of the German government’s push to cut reliance of Russian energy in response to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

“Exploding energy prices, but above all a possible gas embargo, would hit energy-intensive industry – the mother of the industrial network – hard,” Michael Vassiliadis, president of Germany’s IGBCE chemical workers union, pointed out.

“The consequences would not only be reduced work hours and job losses, but also the rapid collapse of the industrial production chains in Europe – with worldwide consequences,” he added.
Halting Russian gas, oil and coal imports will put 3.4 million employees in the German construction industry at risk, as it totally relies on lime and cement, which requires a lot of energy to produce, Robert Feiger, who heads IG BAU construction workers union, pointed out. “The federal government must do everything in its power to ensure energy supply despite the current crisis situation,” he insisted.

His colleague from the metalworkers’ union IG Metall, Jörg Hofmann, also spoke about the danger of disrupting industrial production chains due to them being “of fundamental importance for Europe as a place of business.” He called upon the German government to provide support to companies and protect the employees in the event of production cuts caused by “excessive energy costs.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered gas payments from “hostile” countries, which include the EU, to be made only in Russian rubles from March 31.
Moscow said it can’t rely on the dollar and euro anymore after its central bank reserves were frozen in the West, as part of draconian sanctions over the military activity in Ukraine.

The EU and G7 have so far rejected the new rules, with Kremlin warning on Tuesday that Russia isn’t going to supply gas to Europe “for free.”

Germany, which is EU’s largest economy, gets more than half of its fossil fuel from Russia. The country’s economy minister Robert Habeck said earlier that Berlin will be able to cut reliance on Russian oil and coal by the end of 2022 but giving up on gas won’t be that easy.

According to Habeck, at least two LNG terminals will be built to help reduce Germany’s dependence on it. Berlin plans to turn to Qatar and the US to compensate for Russian gas despite it being a more expensive option.
