We shall defend OUR Ukraine , whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches,
we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.

An armament expert Edmond Huet writes about the necessity of supplying defensive arms to Ukraine. "It is time for Western powers to abandon the politically correct stance and face the threat. Every day without action will make the conflict more costly for the whole of Europe.Standing up against Vladimir Putin is the only way the war stops before the whole of Europe is set ablaze," states Edmond Huet.
USA disarmed Ukraine from nukes/smaller arms (Clinton/Obama) so its obligated to arm Ukraine, even without Budapest memorandum
We'd like to share this gallery http://wwst.in.ua/galleries/ukraine-enjoy-it-not-destroy-it/ (http://wwst.in.ua/galleries/ukraine-enjoy-it-not-destroy-it/) with sights of Ukraine. Enjoy it, not destroy it!
Zolang Ukraine zich blijft verdedigen is putin de verliezer.
Megalomania is the reason for the military aggression of the Russian leadership. But why do ordinary Russians come to kill Ukrainians? Military journalist Arkady Babchenko wrote that during the Chechen war, one Russian soldier told him that he was happy to be at war. Because otherwise he would never have seen Chechnya and its mountains. He came to kill to see the country!.

Lviv Maidan activist Yury Yatsenko is to be released from Russian custody on May 9, after his lawyer dazzlingly demonstrated the political motivation behind an absurdly harsh sentence imposed essentially because Yatsenko is Ukrainian. Read more about it here...

First of all, Putin cannot even spiritually call himself a Christian not alone speak about what is "sacred to Russia." The hypocrisy and evil repeats itself and continues! Foreign policy can never change its guard over Russian leadership until all of this KGB/FSB characterization is drained and removed!
The facts speak for themselves: Greek Catholics and Kiev-patriarchate Ukrainian Orthodox churches have become de facto illegal entities in the annexed Crimea; in the Donbass region, an "Orthodox army" is active; dozens of Protestant churches have been seized; there have been cases of kidnapping, torture, and killing of pastors; Moscow-patriarchate priests openly bless terrorists and refuse to pray over deceased Ukrainian soldiers; Patriarch Kirill of Moscow predicts the downfall of Ukraine as a "kingdom divided against itself."
Islam calls Muslims, Christians and Jews people of the BOOK (not books) , around 700 BCE a number of religions started to flourish and YES they all have the same source, both western and eastern religions, once people start to learn mot their books but history of their religion they will see, and yes everyone may believe what they want, even that putin is saint, but for me he's the devil...(or one of ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGIOU11gjFE&list=PLarj2-qKoqrhYcYxXqUg_HQyA0TW1mDOm (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGIOU11gjFE&list=PLarj2-qKoqrhYcYxXqUg_HQyA0TW1mDOm)

Facebook, hear us, please!
We are writing to you on behalf of all Ukrainian FB users. Now we have a war because Russia invaded Ukraine. When Ukrainian patriotic people living in many countries are beginning to discuss the situation in Ukraine, the Kremlin immediately with trolls "are in the Ukrainian segment FB and start writing against Ukrainian patriotic people a lot of nonsense that can be called discrimination between nationalities. For this reason, we can not discuss the Russian aggression in Ukraine. This is called the "information war." To stop and close our discussion they complain in the Russian office FB likely for expressions patriotic images and even humor. So if you do not understand Ukrainian language full, please create a headquarters FB Ukrainian missions, which could explain the importance of Ukrainian words, expressions and phrases. Sincerely, Ukrainian users Facebook.
PLEASE DO REPOST!
Фейсбук, почуй нас , будь ласка !
Ми звертаємося до вас від імені всіх українських користувачів ФБ . Зараз у нас війна, тому що Росія напала на Україну. Коли українські патріотично налаштовані люди, які живуть у багатьох країнах світу починають обговорення ситуації в Україні, кремлівські тролі тут же з"являються в українському сегменті FB і починають писати проти українських патріотичних людей багато нісенітниці, яку можна назвати дискримінацією між національностями. З цієї причини, ми не можемо обговорювати російську агресію в Україні. Це називається "інформаційна війна". Щоб зупинити і закрити наше обговорення вони скаржаться в російське представництво ФБ за все, за вислови , патріотичні картинки і навіть за гумор. Так що, якщо Ви не розумієте українську мову повністю, будь ласка, створіть в головному офісі FB українське представництво , працівники якого змогли б пояснити вам значення українських слів, висловів і фраз. З повагою, українські користувачі Facebook.
and BTW kremlin trolls are easily indentified, and as with russian media and trolls JUST BELIEVE OPPOSITE , you can't go wrong with that and don't discuss anything with them, waste of time

The Verkhovna Rada has adopted the bill 'On the implementation of personal sanctions against individuals responsible for the illegal detention of Nadiya Savchenko'. The 'Savchenko List' was meant to impose sanctions on Russian officials related to adopting political resolutions, kidnapping, prolonged arrest and criminal persecution of Nadiya Savchenko. The document was compiled and published by the Open Dialog Foundation. Using it as a basis, MP Ivan Kulko and others submitted the draft bill which was later adopted by parliament.

"For me personally this war isn't about returning Donbas."
I know there are decent folks from Luhansk and Donetsk who fight in our army...Of course I believe there are decent, adequate people in Donbas, I've seen many of them and befriended them...The fact that, there are reasonable people, doesn't diminish the zombiefied masses, incapable of using what they have on their shoulders...Having the experience of living next to towns and villages in Donbas, I've seen a lot of things that shocked me. For example: I've seen a man who brought his wife to soldiers and offered them to "use" her in exchange for food; a woman-prostitute offered herself for сanned meat; in one of the villages we cought more drug dealers, than there are in the city where I live. There are a lot of sad cases, and I wouldn't want to talk about them all. Of course not all the locals are like that, many of them helped us, fed us, brought us warm clothes, gave rooms to sleepover. But after all, people like that are a smaller minority...We have lost Donbas, because we've lost its people. I wouldn't mind if the borders of Ukraine will remain as they are, If i'd be sure that this will be enough for Putin. But as we've experienced countless times before, these "guys" don't recognize any ceasefire agreements, they are not determined to stop the war, which means that its too early for us to relax.
I'm not fighting to return Donbas, because I don't believe fairy tales - considering the way things are, its virtually impossible. I fight to stop further.expansion of russian disease. Because, the further it spreads, the more deaths, tears and grief it brings. And I don't wish that to my country."

A local politician apologized to the citizens of Ivanteyevka after a banner was erected in their Moscow region town that — though meant to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Allied victory in World War II — featured Nazi Germany's Luftwaffe pilots next to the slogan "They fought for the Motherland."

Europe Follows the Un-Leader on Ukraine
If Washington won't act firmly to counter Putin's aggression, Paris and Berlin won't step into the breach

Vladimir Putin's use of Ramzan Kadyrov brought a kind of stability in the North Caucasus – professions of loyalty by the latter to the former and an unprecedented grant of money and power by the former to the latter – but now the arrangement is breaking down both domestically and internationally; and the Kremlin leader faces some stark choices.
If Putin moves to sack Kadyrov, he may provoke another war in the North Caucasus, one that he may find it far harder to win this time around than last; but if he doesn't, Putin will lose support from Kadyrov's enemies in the Russian security services and suffer an even greater defeat as a result of his proposal that Kyiv adopt a Kadyrov approach to the Donbas.

Belarus FM: We make concrete steps to improve relations with EU and USA every day.
Every day Belarus is taking concrete measures to improve relations with the EU and the US, which may not be visible at first sight, Foreign Minister of Belarus Vladimir Makei said in an interview to the TV channel "Belarus 1", commenting on the President's state-of-the-nation address.
"It is possible to build the future of the European continent only on the basis of cooperation. We are ready to contribute to the realization of this idea as much as we can. Ministry of Foreign Affairs (of Belarus - note) is making significant steps in this direction," - said Vladimir Makei.
Alongside formal cooperation, informal work with US and European partners is also underway, the official added. At the same time he pointed out that the Belarusian side adheres only to the national interests, not agreeing to be influenced by powerful political forces, such as Washington or Moscow.
Belarus is now being recognised as a centre of stability, not conflicts.
"Today the principles of dialogue and partnership prevail in our contacts with Europe and the United States. We are working on the number of concrete measures that are very important both to Belarus and to our foreign partners" - said Vladimir Makei.

The change of the Russian representative in the Contact Group on the Donbas is a landmark event. Apparently, Russia did not just change its representative in this group – it is changing its overall tactics in the conflict.
