Posted by Did you know that Nuremberg courtroom was designed so that the Allies could project movies during the trial? And, also so that they could film the trial? The first movies that were shown were prepared by John Ford – a compilation of material from the liberation of Bergen-Belsen and Dachau. But here comes an interesting part. Did you now they lit (using flourescent tubes) the defendants so the could be filmed watching the films that were shown during the trial.

Thank you for visiting Kyiv,
Economic assistance is a crucial part of U.S. support to Ukraine: $9.9B in add’l direct budget support will pay teachers, emergency workers, & essential staff. New sanctions & other measures will degrade Russia’s ability to wage this war.
The West is trying to weaken Russia with sanctions. Is this strategy even effective?

Russia produces lies every day. We are here to shoot down propaganda. Check out how can the West better help Ukraine win the information war in an interview with the Head of Stratcom Centre

Russia’s war in Ukraine extends beyond the battlefield, with the Kremlin using propaganda, fake social media accounts, and manipulated images to push false narratives. A new report shows how Moscow aims to undermine support for Ukraine and deflect blame.

The Polish government, which has rightly excoriated Germany for trading with Russia, has been quietly importing Russian oil for the past year. Only stopped because Russia cut them off

Ukraine has accused Russia of sabotaging the grain corridor, set to resolve the global food crisis, by deliberately slowing down inspections. Foreign Minister Kuleba and Infrastructure Minister Kubrakov say over 140 ships are waiting for checks, some in a queue for over a month.

With the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine now having passed its one-year anniversary, there are growing fears about tensions in Moldova — another former Soviet state, and neighbor of Ukraine

UK Defense Ministry: Alleged loss of aircraft at Belarusian airfield to further limit Russia’s air operations. The loss of a Russian A-50 aircraft in an alleged partisan attack on the Machulishchy airfield will “likely leave six operational A-50s in service,” reads the report.

Excellent map depicting how long-range precision strikes can make Crimea untenable for Russian forces. Crimea skeptics assume this requires a costly large-scale land force attack…but the priority is to make Crimea untenable for Russia first. SOF and others will contribute.

A year after Kiev cut off water for Donetsk, the Russians built the first segment of a new pipeline from a different source. These have been typical Kiev tactics since 2014 when e.g. they cut off the water supply to Crimea.
A senior manager from a major investment firm told me there will be no investments into rebuilding Ukraine if there is no ironclad security guarantee for Ukraine. Ukraine will have no security so long as Russia occupies Crimea.
9 years ago, Russian aggression began in Crimea. By returning Crimea, we will restore peace. This is our land. Our people. Our history. We will return the Ukrainian flag to every corner of Ukraine. Qırım serbest olacaq!
