#Russia has started transferring North Korean long-range artillery systems to annexed #Crimea, the German broadcaster ZDF reported Friday, in a potential indication that Pyongyang’s involvement in the war on #Ukraine could soon be expanded.

Today I'm drinking my Bayram qavesi — a holiday coffee

Crimean Tatars and other Muslims celebrate today Oraza Bayram Wishing a happy holiday to everyone!

Oraza bayramıñız hayırlı olsun, dostlarım

On this day in 1856, the Treaty of Paris is signed, ending the Crimean War. Russia lost the war to a coalition of the Ottoman Empire, France, Britain, and Sardinia. #Crimea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimean_War

On this day in 1945, during WW2, Soviet forces invade Austria and capture Vienna. Polish and Soviet forces liberate Danzig. #WW2

They have been waiting for this day for a long time: #Ukraine has returned five more children from the occupied territories

The children are aged between 11 and 16. They were returned from #Crimea, #Donetsk, #Luhansk, and #Zaporizhia regions. The humanitarian mission was carried out through the mediation of #Qatar, said Ombudsman #Dmitry_Lubinets .

#Putin has just made another statement[^1] of his famous genre “we have never denied we were there” after denying things for years. He was speaking of the war in #Donbas in 2014 and he, of course, referred to the popular “armed coup” narrative which I have already debunked in detail[^2] but this time he kind of openly admitted that #Russia directly participated in that war:

We were not the authors and initiators of the outbreak of hostilities. They began after the coup d’état in Ukraine in 2014, which was supported by Western countries. And after that, hostilities actually began in south-eastern Ukraine. (…) This forced us to make an attempt to stop the war that was started in 2014 by armed means. We did not start it.

As I’ve already said many times there was no “coup” in 2014 in #Ukraine - opposition and president Yanukovych signed an agreement which he never planned to keep, and then he was evacuated to Russia.[^2]

The first shots were actually fired also by Russia - on 18 March 2014 Russian sniper killed Ukrainian soldier Serhiy Kokurin during Russian armed coup in #Crimea. Several Tatar and Ukrainians civilians were then killed by “unknown perpetrators” in Crimea and Donbas but then the full scale fighting was initiated by 12-13 April 2014 Russian forces group who crossed from Russia and captured town of #Slavyansk. This is when the actual war and killing started, and the Russian commander of that group Igor Girkin was frequently boasting about it in public.[^3]

Today Putin only kind of admitted that it was not any “self-defense” forces, but Russian army that actually participated in the war. Which was kind of obvious for anyone since day one, they just officially denied it.

#trump, подивись сам, ми оточені з усіх боків, гірше ніж в курвській області! Перед нами "військова машина", яка перемогла пєчєнєгів #Napoleon і половцєв #hitler. Яка зберігала в нас своє #nuke, землі і людей. Що нам робити?! Здаватися? Капітулювати? Віддати їхнє?

Halyna Dovhopola turns 70, imprisoned in russia for remaining true to #Ukraine in occupied #Crimea

It is very likely that russia’s FSB came for Halyna because she had never concealed her opposition to russia’s invasion of Crimea

russia's occupation of Ukrainian territory violates international law, but it's not just about land, it's also about people.

That is why Ukraine is fighting for freedom, justice and sovereignty.
