Russia denounces Ukraine's attack on Iranian ship in the Caspian Sea as a ‘terrorist act’

from Tehran Times

"This is a real terrorist attack. In modern terms, it's a terrorist attack," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Sputnik radio on Wednesday, adding that the incident stems from a broader revival of global piracy.

The Kremlin also warned that the strike represents a direct provocation against Tehran.

“The Kyiv regime blew up an Iranian merchant vessel in the Caspian Sea. This is an attack on Iran,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday, emphasizing that the strike demonstrates the necessity of eliminating "the threat" emanating from Ukraine.

The weekend attack triggered an explosion aboard the merchant vessel, killing one Iranian sailor and severely injuring another.

Following the strike, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi launched an urgent diplomatic push, holding a phone call with European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas. During the conversation, Araghchi strongly condemned the Ukrainian military’s assault on civilian infrastructure and urged the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, and the broader international community to denounce Kyiv’s aggression unequivocally. He demanded that the perpetrators, masterminds, and foreign backers of the attack be held fully accountable...

Russia hails Poland’s move against ‘Nazi-worshipping’ Zelensky

(He's a degenerate coke-head and fucking Nazi selling out his nation to foreign interests. Graham Platner should go live over there. He would fit right in) 

from RT

Russian officials have welcomed Warsaw’s decision to strip Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky of the Order of the White Eagle, Poland’s highest state honor. The decision came after Kiev named a military unit after the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), a nationalist force implicated in massacres of Poles and Jews during World War II.

Polish President Karol Nawrocki announced the move on Friday, saying Kiev had crossed a red line. He argued that “historical truth is not and can never be a bargaining chip” and that remembering the victims was “the moral duty of the Polish state.” 

Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council and former president, wrote on X on Friday that “Poland’s president has finally stripped the Nazi-worshipping Kiev degenerate of the Order of the White Eagle.” The decision would not trouble Zelensky, Medvedev presumed, as there was now “more room on his green sweatshirt” for Nazi-era decorations...

Polish president strips Zelenskyy of honor over naming of army unit after notorious WWII group

(He's a Nazis. The Ukrainians are Nazis. If you stand with them, you're a Nazi.) 

from the AP

Polish President Karol Nawrocki said Friday he will strip Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Poland’s highest state honor over the Ukraine leader’s decision to name a military unit after a Ukrainian paramilitary organization accused of massacring Poles during World War II.

Zelenskyy was awarded the Order of the White Eagle in 2023 by Poland’s then President Andrzej Duda for his services to security, resilience and the defence of human rights.

But it will now be revoked after Zelenskyy issued a decree on May 26 naming a military unit of Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces after the UPA — the Ukrainian Insurgent Army — which operated during the 1940s and 1950s and which is accused in Poland of mass killings.

“For the majority of Polish society, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army remains above all a formation responsible for cruel crimes against the citizens of the Polish Republic during World War II,” Nawrocki said in a 13-minute address on social media...

‘Poles, Russians, and Jews must be exterminated’: The bloody history of Zelensky’s heroes

from RT

Burned villages. Families slaughtered in their homes. Women, children, and the elderly hacked to death with axes and pitchforks. Thousands of Jews beaten, tortured, and murdered during pogroms that accompanied the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. These are some of the atrocities associated with the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and its military wing, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) – movements whose legacy remains one of the most divisive issues in Eastern Europe more than eighty years after World War II.

For decades, supporters of the OUN-UPA have portrayed its members as freedom fighters who resisted both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in pursuit of Ukrainian independence. Opponents, however, point to a different record: collaboration with the Third Reich, participation in anti-Jewish violence, and the mass killing of Polish civilians during the Volhynia massacres of 1943-1944, which Poland today officially recognizes as genocide. 

Far from being settled history, this debate has recently returned to the center of international politics. In 2026, a new diplomatic dispute erupted after Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky honored the UPA tradition at the state level, prompting outrage in Poland and reigniting long-standing accusations that modern Ukraine is rehabilitating organizations linked to fascism, ethnic cleansing, and wartime crimes. At the very moment when Polish and Ukrainian officials are working together to exhume the victims of Volhynia, disagreements over the legacy of Bandera, Shukhevich, and the OUN-UPA continue to poison relations between the two countries.

Below, we’ll talk about the origins of modern Ukrainian nationalism, the motives behind the mass killings of Poles and Jews by underground nationalist forces, and the reasons why OUN-UIA leaders collaborated with Nazi Germany...

The Spoiled Prince of Kiev: Zelensky has deceived and ruined his country with Western help

from RT

Rudyard Kipling, a modern classic of the Western literary canon, was both a champion of British imperialism and too honest not to know its very sordid underpinnings of greed, lies, and sheer selfishness.

That’s why the same man who extolled the “white man’s burden” also wrote ‘The Man Who Would Be King,’ a story of two lowlife, ambitious adventurers who manage to swindle their way to becoming kings as well as rich in a remote country on the fringes of the empire, then at its late-nineteenth-century zenith of global primacy. Until, that is, one of them makes the mistake of messing with the wrong woman, who ends up biting him in public. Seeing him bleed, his subjects realize he is a mere mortal and mercilessly dispense with the two imposters.

Ukraine’s ruler – and de facto king (of the old-fashioned, non-constitutional kind) – Vladimir Zelensky is a social climber, too. In his formative years, his native Krivoy Rog was a provincial post-Soviet rustbelt town with a lively gangster scene, a “bandit city” in his own words. Zelensky is also an expert in make-believe by profession, a cynically profane showman of the ‘give-them-whatever-they-want-as-long-as-it-pays’ variety, the cruder and smuttier the better.

Indeed, Zelensky even has a sidekick, who, as in Kipling’s dark story, has shared in the scheme of power-grabbing and plunder: Andrey Yermak, his former chief of staff and very intimate friend, making headlines (again) for being so corrupt and sinister that he stands out, even in Kiev...

Cuban Lights Expose Darker Shades of Blue

by Scott Creighton

Watched Thom Hartmann for about 7 minutes yesterday. He finally figured out the Project 2025 guys and the Trump regime have been demoing the economy on purpose so they can remake the government in their neoliberal/free market image (like we have done to countless nations over the past 70 years or so)

Was going to post his video until he started going off on evil Russia. Said Trump was out of his mind for siding with Russia over glorious Zelensky and the Nazis of Ukraine. 

Nazis.

Of course... keep in mind... Hartmann knows we regime changed the country under ObamaGod and Ukraine is one of the most corrupt governments in the world second only to Trump and just barely ahead of Milei in Argentina.  

But that doesn't matter. ObamaGod did it so it must be OK.

However... Trump turned off the lights in Cuba so he could send in the Chicago Boys and try to chop up the nation and hand it over to his country club Epstein-class buddies while Russia... well... Russia turned the lights back on.


 

In the end, Hartmann, like Bernie Sanders, is paid to promote neoliberal regime change operations to the alt-left like the ones in Ukraine and Russia and even by extension, Cuba and Venezuela.

Kiev-backed suicide bomb plot thwarted in Russia – FSB

from RT

A Ukrainian terrorist plot involving an unwitting suicide bomber has been thwarted in the Russian port city of Sevastopol, the Federal Security Service (FSB) has said.

The agency said a Ukrainian intelligence handler persuaded a local resident to carry a portable speaker to the FSB’s regional headquarters, telling him it would be used for surveillance as part of an internal investigation. Officials said the device actually concealed an improvised explosive meant to detonate at the site. Security guards intercepted the device and found the explosives before they could be triggered.

Officials released a record of what they said were instructions given by the Ukrainian handler, who claimed the unwitting accomplice would be offered a job at the FSB, should he prove capable in the fake counter-espionage operation. The job was expected to take a couple of minutes and supposedly necessitated that the suspect scan mobile phones in the HQ security checkpoint to detect traitors...

Death toll rises to 27 in Ukrainian strike on New Year’s party: Russia

from PressTV (H/T AuntBB)

Russian authorities report that the death toll from a Ukrainian drone strike at a New Year’s party in a café in the Kherson region has risen to at least 27 people.

In a statement released on Friday, Russia’s Investigative Committee noted that two children were killed in the attack, with five additional minors among the injured.

At least 100 civilians, including guests and staff, were present at the venue when the “terrorist act” occurred just before midnight on December 31 in the Black Sea coastal village of Khorly, according to the statement.

Multiple drones targeted the crowded café and a hotel, igniting a massive blaze, it added. At least one of the UAVs carried an incendiary mixture.

The agency also reported that investigators have recovered fragments of several drones at the scene. A criminal investigation into the act of terrorism has been initiated.

Over 26 forensic examinations, including medical, genetic, explosive, and fire safety analyses, have been ordered as part of the inquiry.

“All members of the Ukrainian military involved in this crime will be identified and brought to justice,” the agency stated.

Russian officials claim the drone strike in Khorly was intentionally timed to maximize casualties and constitutes a war crime...

With the Threat of Peace on the Horizon, Ukraine Nazis Launch Cowardly Drone Attack on Putin Residence

by Scott Creighton

Nope. The Nazis wont have peace. Not if they can help it. So as peace talks were making headway, Ukraine launched 90 or so kamakazi drones to blow up the formal resident of President Putin.

'... Trump hosted Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky in Miami on Sunday for the latest round of discussions on a possible peace proposal for Russia. Asked whether Trump was right to assert that the world is now much closer to peace, Peskov said that “certainly” was the case.

During his joint press conference with Zelensky, Trump said the deal was 95% ready, even though he personally didn’t like to measure progress in percentages. “We’re doing very well,” he added. “We could be very close.” RT

Nope. None of that peace stuff. F-you says the Nazis in Ukraine.

'US President Donald Trump was “shocked” by the Ukrainian attack on the state residence of President Vladimir Putin, stating he did not foresee such “crazy actions,” according to Kremlin foreign policy aide Yury Ushakov.

The presidential advisor made the remarks to Russian media after a call between Putin and Trump on Monday. Shortly before the conversation became known to the public, Moscow said that the Ukrainian military targeted Putin’s state residence in Novgorod Region with more than 90 kamikaze drones.

“The Russian side made it clear that such reckless actions would certainly not go unanswered,” Ushakov stated. “The US president, according to Putin, was shocked by this news and expressed outrage, stating that he could not have imagined such crazy actions on the part of Kiev,” he added.' RT

I doubt Voldamort (I know but that is what I call him, so there) Zelensky had anything to do with this. It's literally the Nazis from Right Sector or Azov who are calling the shots over there and I bet they did it, well obviously they did it to scuttle the peace process.

Now, did they act on their own due to their rabid hatred of Russian or were they compelled by European business interests or American MIC asshats?

You be the judge. Just don't forget, once again, Ukraine scrubs any possible peace deal, once again.

My Take on the Poroshenko VS Kolomoyskyi Mini-War in Ukraine (archive)

(archived from March 26, 2015)

by Scott Creighton

I keep reading the work of so-called “alternative” journalists like Eric Zuesse who are apparently trying to portray Israeli citizen, banker and multi-billionaire Ihor Valeriyovych Kolomoyskyi as some kind of legitimate alternative to Obama’s man in Kiev, Petro “Porky” Poroshenko.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

The mental gymnastics people like Zuesse have to go through while making this claim are mind boggling.

The complicit corporate media here in the states are already starting to demonize Poroshenko, with one that I noticed the other day referring to him as the ‘self styled” president of Ukraine. Thus the de-legitimization process begins.

In reality, he was “elected” in one small area which voted against the former legitimate president of the country which Obama got rid of when he looked to sign a deal keeping Ukraine out of the EU and NATO.

But as far as leaders aligned with the White House goes, that’s about as legit as they get.

Ihor Kolomoyskyi is on a quest to overthrow our puppet junta in Kiev. Of this there is no doubt. So does that make him automatically opposed by ObamaGod and the CIA and Western interests?

But let’s take a moment to look at the facts before reacting in some “alternative’ knee-jerk fashion.

You're Being Played on Huckabee and Other Important Headlines

The alt-left and the alt-right are being played when it comes to this sudden demonization of Mike Huckabee. He met with Pollard back in July. Who cares? The two ultraZionist reporters from the NYT based in Israel made up that story to cover up for the one where Huckabee just two days ago said the rabid settlers in the West Bank are terrorists and thugs and should be prosecuted. Did you hear about that story? Nope. And other news like Trump's 28 point Ukraine plan and the IOF is moving the Yellow Line to steal more land from Palestine.

Ukraine Faces ‘Difficult Choice’ Over U.S. Plan to End War, Zelensky Says

(Ukraine wants peace but Zelensky and a handful of oligarchs and bankers in Europe and the U.S. want more war. Ukraine is running out of young people to throw into the meat grinder but that doesn't matter to good old Voldermort, cus he ain't going. He's making a fortune skimming off the top while young people die in Ukraine for no reason at all. Puffy coke face Zelensky is a piece of shit and has always thwarted the peace process and he will continue to do so as will multiple 'alt journalists' just because they hate TrumpyBear so much.) 

from the NYT

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine suggested on Friday that his country’s alliance with the United States could be at a breaking point as the White House presses Kyiv to respond by Thanksgiving to its plan to end the war against Russia.

The 28-point proposal from the White House — which Kyiv has said was drafted without its involvement — would give Russia most of what it has asked for, including the surrender of Ukrainian territory and sharp limits on Ukraine’s military. The plan would require Ukraine to accept conditions that it and its European allies have long called unacceptable and tantamount to capitulation.

In a video address to the Ukrainian people on Friday afternoon, Mr. Zelensky said that his country was facing “one of the most difficult moments in our history.”

“Ukraine may soon find itself before a very difficult choice,” he said. “Either the loss of dignity, or the risk of losing a key partner. Either the difficult 28 points, or an extremely hard winter — the hardest one — and further risks.”

Mr. Zelensky did not explicitly name the United States as that “key partner.” But the Ukrainian leader, who met with an American military delegation in Kyiv this week to restart peace talks, said that “they will expect an answer” about the 28 points.

“I will present arguments, persuade, propose alternatives,” he said, promising “a constructive search for solutions.”

Referring to Russia, he said, “We will absolutely not give the enemy any reason to say that Ukraine does not want peace, that Ukraine is disrupting the process or that Ukraine is not ready for diplomacy.”

“That will not happen,” he added...

As Trump Tries to Make Peace in Ukraine, His Detractors Try to Scuttle it Like Israel Did in Gaza

by Scott Creighton

Listen to this bullshit from Google AI regarding Ukraine and Zelensky:

'Reports alleging that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has canceled elections and locked up opposition candidates are false and misrepresent the situation in Ukraine. Due to Russia's full-scale invasion, martial law is in effect, which prohibits elections in wartime according to the Ukrainian constitution. Zelenskyy has not personally locked up opposition candidates, though some pro-Russian parties were suspended in 2022 due to the war.' Google AI

Due to war. Due to war, Zelensky has shut down the government, canceled elections and is locking up not only opposition party members but also journalists. 

'On March 3, 2022, the Criminal Code of Ukraine was supplemented by Article 436-2, titled "Justification, recognition as legitimate, denial of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, glorification of its participants". The article, which has been criticized by the OHCHR and other human rights groups,[85][86] states punishment by correctional labor up to two years or imprisonment up to eight years for such speech.[87] Gonzalo Lira, an American pro-Russia blogger who died in custody[88][89] in Ukraine, was among those arrested under this law.[90] 

But Scott, you say, that's due to war, not Zelensky.

Yeah, only... it's Zelensky who keeps refusing all the deals offered by Russia in order to keep the war going.

So yeah, it's Zelensky. 

From Dec. 2021 to Feb 2022,Ukraine stepped up it's bombing campaigns in the Donbass region of Ukraine targeting civilian infrastructure along with military militia positions. 

The Biden administration funneled record numbers of munitions into Ukraine for that very purpose thru the end of 2021. 

Origins of Special Military Operation: History of Ukraine Conflict


(I have been covering this since it started back with ObamaGod' regime change op in Ukraine. I can tell you this is exactly what I have been reporting for the past 10+ years, verbatim, and is not Russian state propaganda. The people of Donbass had a right to declare themselves a special region and to ask the world for help when they were being bombed by our puppet regimes. Russia was well within international law to respond to Donbass' pleas for help when they did.) 

(Russia and Putin aren't the bad actors in this case. Obama, Biden, Poreshenko, Zelensky and Trump are.) 

from Sputnik News 

...

In the spring of 2014, people's republics were proclaimed in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions. In response, the Ukrainian authorities accused the population of "separatism" and began a military operation in the region, which escalated into full-scale combat. Tanks and aviation were deployed against the people's militias.
 
Cities like Donetsk, Gorlovka, Lugansk, and Debaltsevo were subjected to artillery shelling by the Ukrainian regime for years. Residential neighborhoods, hospitals, and schools were destroyed.

...

Volodymyr Zelensky, who came to power in 2019, continued the repressive policies of the Kiev authorities toward the population in southeastern Ukraine. On February 17, 2022, the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics reported the most intense shelling from the Ukrainian Armed Forces in months. 

On February 21, 2022, Russia recognized the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, and on February 24, President Vladimir Putin announced the start of a special military operation in Ukraine in response to a request for assistance from Donbass.

The Russian president explained that the decision was made to protect people facing genocide by the Kiev regime. On February 24, 2022 Vladimir Putin said: "The circumstances require us to take decisive and immediate action. The people's republics of Donbass have requested help from Russia. Therefore, in accordance with Article 51, part 7 of the UN Charter, with the consent of the Federation Council, and in accordance with the treaties on friendship and mutual assistance ratified by the Federal Assembly with the Donetsk People's Republic and Lugansk People's Republic, I have decided to conduct a special military operation."

MAIN OBJECTIVES OF THE SPECIAL OPERATION

  • Ensuring the rights of Russian-speaking populations 
  • Legitimizing the will of the people 
  • Demilitarization (neutralizing the military threat and preventing Ukraine from joining NATO) 
  • Denazification (stopping the spread of neo-Nazi ideology)

Zelensky vows to retake Crimea despite Trump’s peace push


 (For all those fake leftists who back the MIC's Ukrainian puppet)

from RT

Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has rejected US calls to withdraw its claim to Crimea or make any territorial concessions to Russia.

In a speech marking Ukraine’s Independence Day on Sunday, Zelensky vowed to retake the peninsula, which is predominantly populated by ethnic Russians and overwhelmingly voted to join Russia after the 2014 Western-backed coup in Kiev. He also pledged to reclaim the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, which, along with Kherson and Zaporozhye Regions, joined Russia in 2022 after referendums.

“Here at the zero kilometer, this is a starting point where distances to Ukrainian cities are marked – to our Donetsk, our Lugansk, our Crimea,” Zelensky said in an address filmed at Kiev’s Maidan Square, the site of the Western-backed 2014 coup. “All of this is Ukraine… and no temporary occupation can change that. One day… we will be together again as one country. It’s only a matter of time.”

While mediating peace efforts between Moscow and Kiev, US President Donald Trump has floated the idea of “land swaps,” but firmly stated that Kiev will not regain Crimea, calling that scenario “impossible.”...

‘We lost several generations’ – Ukrainian MP on leaked docs

from RT

A Ukrainian MP has admitted the loss of “several generations” in the country’s three-year conflict with Russia. The comments from Artem Dmytruk follow reports that leaked military files indicate Kiev’s forces have lost more than 1.7 million troops – killed or missing – since 2022.

Russian media outlets on Wednesday cited a digital card index allegedly acquired by hacker groups from Ukraine’s Chief of Staff said to contain names of dead or missing soldiers, details of their deaths, and personal data of their families.

The entries suggested 118,500 troops were killed or went missing in 2022, 405,400 in 2023, 595,000 in 2024 and a record 621,000 so far this year. 

Commenting on the reported losses, Dmytruk said: “The lists of the missing today contain more than a million people, and of course these people are most likely dead, while their families remain in complete ignorance. The situation is tragic, the situation is frightening.”...

Putin-Trump summit ‘erased’ Western narratives – EU state’s leader

Zelensky to head to Washington 

Putin says it was a useful meeting 

from RT

The summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart, Donald Trump, in Alaska has challenged the West’s entrenched confrontational narratives regarding relations with Moscow, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has claimed.

In defiance of the EU’s prevailing approach, Fico halted Bratislava’s military aide to Kiev in October 2023, and has been a vocal critic of the bloc’s sanctions against Moscow, as well as suggestions that Ukraine join NATO.

In a video posted on Facebook on Saturday, Fico stated that the sheer fact that Putin and Trump had met in person was the “most important thing” about the summit in Anchorage on Friday.

“Politicians need to meet and show mutual respect, to talk and try to understand each other,” the Slovak prime minister argued.

He further claimed that the high-profile meeting had “rejected the black-and-white view of the military conflict in Ukraine” and essentially “erased a single mandatory opinion on the war.”

“We must speak equally about security guarantees both for Ukraine and for the Russian Federation,” taking into account the “historical roots” of the conflict, Fico emphasized...

Trump Backs Putin’s Route for Talks, Dashing Ukraine’s Hopes for Swift Cease-Fire

(Tell me... what part of Trump's statement that they are seeking a peace deal as opposed to just another useless ceasefire is out of line? The ceasefire Zelensky wants is just an opportunity for him to beg for more money, skim part of it off the top and then retool his ragtag army for more casualties and more death on behalf of foreign interests. The long term peace deal Putin and Trump are seeking will put an end to the bloodshed and allow for the rebuilding of Ukraine. Tell me again Ben from Midas Touch how awful that plan is? If Biden proposed it, you would cream your pants the moment you heard it but since it was Trump your derangement syndrome kicks in and you call it appeasement. You and the fake left MSM that is.) 

from the New York Times

President Trump appeared on Saturday to split from Ukraine and key European allies after his summit with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, adopting Mr. Putin’s preference for pursuing a sweeping peace agreement instead of the urgent cease-fire Mr. Trump said he wanted before the meeting.

Doing so would give Russia an advantage in the talks, which are due to continue on Monday when President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine visits Mr. Trump at the White House. It breaks from a strategy Mr. Trump and European allies, as well as Mr. Zelensky, had agreed to before the U.S.-Russia summit in Alaska, and it provoked a chilly reception in Europe, where leaders have time and again seen Mr. Trump reverse positions on Ukraine after speaking with Mr. Putin.

Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social early on Saturday that spoke by phone to Mr. Zelensky and European leaders after his meeting with Mr. Putin. He said that “it was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere Ceasefire Agreement, which often times do not hold up.”...
