Posted by Russian Federation invaded Ukraine 24th February 2022; the world unites behind the US, NATO, the world has changed and nuclear arms become a “threat” but this time from Russian Federation.

“That is the question of the New Frontier. That is the choice our nation must make—a choice that lies not merely between two men or two parties, but between the public interest and private comfort—between national greatness and national decline—between the fresh air of progress and the stale, dank atmosphere of “normalcy”—between determined dedication and creeping mediocrity. All mankind waits upon our decision. A whole world looks to see what we will do. We cannot fail their trust, we cannot fail to try.” John F. Kennedy (assasinated former President of the United States who stood down Cuba and threats of nuclear arms attack)

New Year’s message: Thousands of people.. have died or been wounded in #Ukraine & so many have lost loved ones. We will help the Ukrainians for as long as they need it. Russia may have started this war, but they will not win it.

It has been one of the hardest, if not the hardest year for me and the people I love and respect. I really hope that next year we will celebrate a second victory over the fascist invaders, who are now stationed in the Kremlin. I wish you a Happy New Year! Mikhail Khodorkovsky

Это был один из самых тяжелых, если не самый тяжелый год для меня и тех людей, которых я люблю и уважаю. Я очень надеюсь, что в следующем году мы отпразднуем вторую победу над фашистскими захватчиками, которые теперь расположились в Кремле. Желаю вам счастливого Нового года!

….superb book on corruption in Putin’s Russia, I am ashamed that the Irish government refused to pass brendan howlin‘s excellent Maginsky bill which it had previously agreed to accept. Shame on FFGG. Is the
lobby that powerful?
Russia decided to launch a massive missile strike against Kyiv on New Year’ Eve. At least 11 missiles were fired against the city, 3 of which reached their targets. This building used to be a hotel. Mayor Klitschko confirms people have been killed.

Chernihiv border guards received Canadian Senator APC armored combat vehicles to secure the northern borders. As of early December, about a hundred of such vehicles were handed over to the defense forces of Ukraine starting from at least May

Outside Gorky Park, along with festive fir trees, is a red star with the symbol of Russia’s ‘special military operation.’ As Russia prepares for the New Year holidays, I go onto the streets of Moscow to see how the invasion of Ukraine has changed Russia.

Putin’s New Year’s Eve address features “Russian soldiers” (aka people from his security detail assigned to act like soldiers). Here’s pictures of the many versatile roles that Natasha has played when Putin needs to be with “normal citizens.” “Natasha! Time to be a fisherman!”
===============
Russia published a video of Caliber missiles that they launched, from the Black Sea, on Ukraine. This video shows Russia is helping to to document its war crimes. I wonder which of those missiles struck the hotel? Or the cultural center? Guess they’ll explain at The Hague.

This is how Russian missiles are flying over Ukraine on the New Year’s Eve. Explosions in three different districts in Kyiv, people hospitalized
If only we c ould have PEACE
