The War in Donbass (also known as the War in Ukraine or War in Eastern Ukraine) is an ongoing armed conflict in the Donbass region of Ukraine. From the beginning of March 2014, demonstrations by pro-Russian and anti-government groups took place in the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine, together commonly called the "Donbass", in the aftermath of the 2014 Ukrainian revolution and the Euromaidan movement. These demonstrations, part of a wider group of concurrent pro-Russian protests across southern and eastern Ukraine, escalated into an armed conflict between the separatist forces of the self-declared Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, and the Ukrainian government Prior to a change of the top leadership in August, the separatists were largely led by Russian citizens. Russian paramilitaries are reported to make up from 15% to 80% of the combatants.

German MPs representing all three ruling parties @SaraNanni @alexmuellerfdp @KristianKlinck are absolutely right in their call to provide Ukraine with maximum military aid. A well-armed Ukraine is the best long-term investment in the security of Europe.

 World leaders are set to take part in a virtual summit to discuss the annexation of Crimea by Russia, alongside the ongoing military activity in Ukraine.

Putin's 'Human Rights Council' Accidentally Posts Real Crimean Election Results

Yesterday, however, according to a major Ukrainian news site, TSN.ua, the website of the President of Russia’s Council on Civil Society and Human Rights (shortened to President’s Human Rights Council) posted a report that was quickly taken down as if it were toxic radioactive waste. According to this purported report about the March referendum to annex Crimea, the turnout of Crimean voters was only 30 percent. And of these, only half voted for the referendum–meaning only 15 percent of Crimean citizens voted for annexation.

The TSN report does not link to a copy of the cited report. However, there is a report of the Human Rights Council, entitled “Problems of Crimean Residents,” still up on the president-sovet.ru website, which discusses the Council’s estimates of the results of the March 16 referendum. Quoting from that report: “In Crimea, according to various indicators, 50-60% voted for unification with Russia with a voter turnout (yavka) of 30-50%.” This leads to a range of between 15 percent (50% x 30%) and 30 percent (60% x 50%) voting for annexation. The turnout in the Crimean district of Sevastopol, according to the Council, was higher: 50-80%.

Crimea - #Russia #Ukraine Ukraine's Crimean fightback having 'psychological impact' on Russia | BBC News

Tweet 

  Linkedin   

20 August 2022

 

 Ukrainian strikes on Crimea are having major psychological and operational effects on Moscow's forces, Western officials have told journalists.

Explosions at the Saki airbase on 9 August and other assaults have put more than half of the Black Sea fleet's naval jets out of action, they said. The fleet has a revered history, but it has suffered a series of humiliations since the invasion began in February. "This has been 11 days which has seen Crimea destabilised in a way few predicted," says BBC's Ukraine Correspondent James Waterhouse. Following the most recent attacks this month, scores of Russian holidaymakers were seen fleeing the peninsula, which was previously untouched by fighting.

GENEVA —  UN News Russian attacks on  civilian targets in Ukraine could be a war crime: UN rights office

This is Russia’s, not just Putin’s war. Not Putin, but actual Russian soldiers come from Russia to kill, torture and destroy. Russians overwhelmingly support the war, cheer missile strikes on Ukrainian cities and murder of Ukrainians. Let Russian tourists enjoy Russia then.

In the course of its war on Ukraine, Russia has turned to nuclear terrorism. Russians shelled and occupied Europe's largest nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhia. Now they use it as a military base, stuff it with military hardware, and threaten the world. @United24media explains 👇🏻 pic.twitter.com/LuupKy61KC

I highly appreciate another 🇺🇸 military aid package in the amount of $775 million. Thank you @POTUS for this decision! We have taken another important step to defeat the aggressor. 🇺🇦 will be free!

 “It’s a little bit of nuclear blackmail because what they're really after is to redirect all the electricity that this power plant generates towards Crimea.”

Lieutenant Ben Hodges suggests on #TimesRadio that Putin wants Zaporizhzhia’s nuclear power plants to fuel Crimea.
