A fake death of a Russian journalist Arkadiy Babchenko
On June 1, General Prosecutor of Ukraine Yuriy Lutsenko stated that a staged murder of Arkadiy Babchenko in Kiev had been necessary. He claimed that this false flag operation had allowed law enforcement officials to obtain a list of other 48 journalists who are potential victims of Russian assasinations.
Lutsenko also pointed out that the staged murder is foreseen by the criminal procedure code and had been used for 30 times within 2.5 last years.
At the start of the story, the list of potential victims included only 10 persons.
Slavs killing eachother? Yes,please.
That’s for abortion banning Islamists.
Why are you so obsessed with abortion?
The Ukrainian nation is good but their pro US and pro Zionist politicians are puppets of US CIA, NATO and Israeli MOSSAD. They use target killers in Ukraine to eliminate any pro Ukrainian politician. The same US, NATO and Israeli target killers doing in other regions around Russia and China.
Now the question is how to identify and bring to justice all these US CIA, NATO and Israeli target killers that are active around Russia and China and killing the countries’ important politicians. This need some money and training.
This is so important to send well trained secrete counterterrorism forces in all states around Russia and China to fail all plots of US CIA, NATO and of Israeli MOSSAD.
Good idea. The Russian Secret Service foiled a hit on Former prime minister Karamanlis at the last moment in Greece itself.it was a US hit team and they went scampering back to the USA via diplomatic cover! For those that do not know Karamanlis was an American lover. Yet he was not considered enough of a friend by Uncle Sam who then sent out a kill squad for him. Why ? He decided to build a pipeline for oil from russia to greece and thus Wider Europe. America has friends? I dont think so.
I have asked from many Latvians, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Georgians etc. they all were so happy united with Russia (Soviet Union). They have told me that now US, NATO and Israeli Zionists are holding us hostage. Before with Russia we were free, education and accommodation was free. There was no corruption but now corruption have controlled our all independent countries. Our economy is going down. We cannot survive for long in this chaos.
Many Latvians have also told me that life was far better in Soviet times. They were talking about the 70’s and 80’s as experienced by themselves. Some of them though had an almost child like view of the West as seen in Hollywood films.
You are right. Majority of the people from these nations are not happy on separation from Russia/Soviet Union.
Only those are happy that their relatives are living in US and in UK or watching Hollywood movies. The effect of Hollywood movies is like brain washing.
When somebody watch a movie or watching some songs so their relation buildup with the actors and with the countries shown in the movie.
Too true.
US puppets oligarch had promised to people of that countries to live in EU with good salaries and social assistance in exchange of be antirussia!…at the end they continue living in their countries( some of them in EU as cheap labour), oligarchs continue to earn money and USA have military bases near Russia!…thats why far right is growing in EU as they dont want beggars!
The first thing the EU does in post Soviet member countries is to destroy their manufacturing assets with the use of EU Regulations.
The second thing the EU does is to heap debt on local authorities and the citizens.
When the Soviet Union collapsed there was no National Debt in these new nations and very little personal debt.
Yes. Was done with all Med countries too. Also “Economic Hitman” effect. Load them up with debt,cause them to fail. Take over soveiregnty!
It is very obvious to all of us who open our eyes to see but alas all to many citizens stumble around with white sticks because they are blinded by Neo-Liberal propaganda ( cultural Marxism).
US have sanctioned dozens of countries that now they have build a group of sanctioned countries which has emerged as an economically strong allied super power.
Now they have their own independent defense and nuclear policies independent from US and NATO effect.
IAEA bye bye. Therefore, now the US sanctions have become ineffective against Iran. LOL
I agree . Their railing now means nothing to Iran and Russia etc.
Ukraine needs a ‘swapper’ for Suschenko.
Russian history is far more interesting than is any Europe nation, IMHO, and too see this war posturing between to areas, Russia and Ukraine, who each owe their existence, and cultural roots to same area. There would be no Russia without the Kieverian Empire whose main seat of power and cohesion as a people, began in Kiev. The Russian society that evolved from those beginnings remained Russian and it’s early history shows an identity that kept its own character no matter the #’ s of invaders and it’s adaptation of Eastern Christian Ortodoxy, which hung on in both areas of Ukraine and Russia even during early stages of Marxism. Today to see these two at each others throats is not realy new as politicly and financially Ukraine always remained in powerfull position, especially during cold war era. To understand Russia one must read of the Kiev influence, and same goes for Ukraine.
