GLORY TO UKRAINE

Treat your friend as if he might become an enemy.

                                    Почему Путин напал на Украину……Why Putine attacked on Ukarine

   Какой главный спор между Россией и Украиной стал причиной вторжения России в Украину

   What is main dispute between Russian and Ukarain that caused Inavasion of Ukrain by Russia

The situation that developed a few months before the start of the special operation in Ukraine. Then, too, Western and Ukrainian speakers were pumping, and the Western and Ukrainian media, as if on cue, squealed: “Putin is about to attack Ukraine!” And only the Russian side had to constantly make excuses, they say, we are not going to attack anyone. But a special military operation still had to be started, with a preemptive strike, a day before the upcoming blitzkrieg of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the LDNR. And now everything seems to be developing according to a similar scenario, only in the role of Russia – Belarus, and in the role of Ukraine – Poland.

I have decided to conduct a special military operation.

 

Before invading, the Russian parliament accredited the navy action. Putin’s invasion has the full guide of the Russian public. … Just earlier than the invasion, there used to be some thing on the order of 2,000 violations of the ceasefire by way of the Ukraine in opposition to the Donbas.Putin recommended the neighbors “not to boost the situation.” However, for the time being, the Kremlin managed, if now not to reorient Ukraine in the direction of Russia, then at least to forestall its entire flip to the West. … Why Ukraine? Despite the Kremlin’s ongoing rhetoric about the “Nazi regime” in Kyiv, the principal motive for such shut interest to Ukraine lies no longer in the ideological component, however in the geopolitical role of the country. … Therefore, if Russia, for example, decides to assault neighboring Latvia or Estonia (both NATO members), then all thirty contributors of the North Atlantic Alliance are obliged to declare conflict on the aggressor. Russia topped the rating of international locations with the greatest variety of sanctions.”We won’t allow such a mistake a second time,” Vladimir Putin said. The problem is that on our own historical territories adjacent to us, a hostile “anti-Russia” was created, which was placed under complete external control, intensively settled by the armed forces of the NATO countries and pumped up with weapons. … And already on March 17, Biden announced that he would send another $1 billion worth of weapons to Ukraine. That is, indeed, the United States is ready to fight in Ukraine to the last Ukrainian.  Why didn’t the Ukrainian military hear Putin’s call? The fact is that the Ukrainian grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the National Guard, concentrated near the borders of the DPR and LPR, was “charged” for a quick victory in the Donbass

                                                             CELEBRATION OF NEW YEAR IN MOSCOW

what the FSB intelligence reported to Putin before the start of the war, and why the Chekists are now “thirsty for the blood” of their colleagues from the fifth service … As a result, Putin, when deciding to invade Ukraine, relied mainly on the reports of his former colleagues, including “ big fifth service “of the FSB (it is so called to distinguish it from the fifth services within the smaller units of the FSB). … Secondly, because the Russian authorities have always looked at Ukraine as a province of their metropolis, and no one in the FSB really tried to understand what was really happening in the neighboring country. … It is important to understand what is in the minds of these people in order to understand how they could make such a disastrous decision to attack a once brotherly country.

On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the start of an operation to demilitarize Ukraine in response to the shelling of the recently recognized DPR and LPR by Moscow. Why did the Russian leadership take such a step, why does the West not want to get involved in the conflict, and how will the European security system be rebuilt? … “Isolation won’t scare Russia” Why did Moscow decide to launch an operation in the Donbass and how will it change European security? . Early on the morning of February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the start of a military operation to demilitarize Ukraine in response to shelling of the recently recognized Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics.This is most unfortunate that support of NATO towards Ukraine has prolonged the war.After imposing sanctions against Russia,Putin is more furious and there are possibilities to use nuclear arsenal by Russia.On the other hand USA has recently announced another package of military assistance to Ukraine worth near about $.2 billion including latest air defense system and patriot Missile.Last week.

 

“According to the latest data, Russia has confirmed 3,392 Ukrainian prisoners, but as many as 15,000 people, including many civilians, have been reported missing in Ukraine,” Ukraine’s ombudswoman for the rights of prisoners of war and presidential adviser Alena Verbitskaya said Russian forces deliver massive strike on Ukrainian command centers, defense industry sites.Several targets were struck & it seems that The goal of massive strike has been achieved.

During last week of December, missile troops and artillery struck 73 Ukrainian artillery units at firing positions, manpower and military equipment in 86 areas. In the area of the settlement of Lebedin in the Sumy Region, a radar station of a Ukrainian S-300 anti-aircraft missile system was destroyed. In areas near the settlements of Vesyoloye and Chasov Yar in the Donetsk People’s Republic, positions were uncovered and two AN/TPQ-50 counter-battery radars of US manufacture were obliterated.Approximately 97% population of Ukraine is Catholic christian but it seems strange that a jew is ruling the country.It is time to think what is behind the scene as why America is supportive to Jew leader.Due to energy crisis, price of food and gas has g0ne up and every family living in Germany or in Czech Republic or in Hungary or France are badly effected.It is high time for America to revise policy against Russia and Now when Putin has offered to sit with Zelnesky for negotiation to settle all important issues, such opportunity must be availed.The economies of Russia and Ukraine were deeply intertwined. … “But for some reason certain powers do not want to learn themselves.” … With the invasion of Ukraine, there is no one left who thinks Putin is merely acting like a standard post-Soviet Russian politician. … Viktor Medvedchuk, a close ally of Putin who was considered his point man in Ukraine, was placed under house arrest.on  6th Jan,2023 Putin declared ceasefire for three days for Orthodox Christians but Zelenseky dismissed this offer. I  the author of this post accept my weak knowledge about Catholic, Protestants and orthodox Christian but as per my information, one of the main cause of Ukraine war is establishment of Orthodox Church in Moscow. While Ukraine Wants complete independence from Moscow Orthodox Church. Moscow sometimes refer to itself as the third Rome because Moscow see themselves as the supreme sovereign of Christian orthodox nations because majority of orthodox Christians are living in East Europe and Greece and Istanbul.

In order to establish peace in this region, everyone needs to make efforts on his own. Peace cannot be achieved by the efforts of any one person. Everyone has to be ready for this. Peace is the only way through which we can make this world a better place. We can give a better world to the next generation through peace.In the end,my humble request to all concerned to come on dialogue  for solving the main issues and to create environment of peace. What Else is left to say ?

            Take care and keep on reading my blogs.Speak to you soon in my next blog.
