nothing new on the eastern front.....

The UK and its allies got tricked into backing a “corrupt mafia state” in Ukraine and getting into a war of attrition against a Moscow-Beijing partnership, Dominic Cummings has said in an interview.

The longtime Tory political strategist led the Vote Leave campaign for Brexit and was one of the key aides to then-PM Boris Johnson until resigning in November 2020.

“We should have never got into the whole stupid situation,” Cummings told the outlet I News in an interview published on Wednesday, commenting on London’s full-throated support for Kiev. He also described Ukraine as a “corrupt sh*thole that doesn’t matter at all.”

“This is not a replay of 1940 with the pumpkin [Ukrainian President Vladimir] Zelensky as the Churchillian underdog,” he added. “This whole Ukrainian corrupt mafia state has basically conned us all and we’re all going to get f**ked as a consequence.”

Western sanctions have been “more of a disaster” for the EU than for Russia, driving up the cost of living while pushing Moscow and Beijing closer together, according to Cummings. All the West managed to do is get into a war of attrition with Russia, “who we pushed into an alliance with the world’s biggest manufacturing power.”

Cummings also addressed the argument that Russian President Vladimir Putin needed to be “taught a lesson” about invading neighbors.

“The lesson we’ve taught Putin is that we’re a bunch of total f**king jokers,” he said. “I mean, Putin already knew that before the war. But this has emphasized it and broadcast it to the entire world, what a bunch of clowns we are,” he added.

Between the sanctions regime and the US trying to seize frozen Russian assets, the West is encouraging the emergence of alternative global financial systems, he explained.

That’s not teaching Putin any lesson, only that we’re idiots.

Cummings slammed former PM Boris Johnson – with whom he is no longer on speaking terms – for using the Ukraine conflict for “acting out his Churchillian fantasies,” as well as the Parliament that “swallowed all of his total bullsh*t on Ukraine and actually took it seriously.”

Johnson was the key figure in getting Kiev to reject a peace deal with Russia in April 2022, according to the top Ukrainian negotiator, as well as Ukrainian media.

The former PM denied his role in scuttling the talks, calling the account “total nonsense and Russian propaganda.” However, he confirmed that he told Zelensky the UK would back him “a thousand percent” and that any deal with Moscow would be bad.

on the brink....

by Voltaire Network

Most military experts warn of an imminent collapse of Ukraine's military. Westerners hope that the arrival next month of US weapons will reassure them. This is unlikely, because their problem is not a lack of weapons, but the extremely high casualty rate and lack of perspective.

Under these conditions, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky opened a petition on his official website to ask NATO to send soldiers to the battlefield.

On May 8, he celebrated the victory of the Allies over Nazism. This was to mark its proximity to NATO (which also celebrates it on May 8) and its difference with Russia (which celebrates it on May 9). President Volodymyr Zelensky was very careful not to discuss the position of his country's leaders during World War II, nor the racial ideology of the Nazis. He simply accused Russia of showing the same cruelty as the Nazis, based on unverifiable examples.

During World War II, the followers of Dmitro Dontsov, led by Stepan Bandera, proclaimed Ukraine's independence from the Nazis. The ceremony included portraits of leader Adolf Hitler and providnyk Stepan Bandera, to the cries of Slava Ukraïni (“Glory to Ukraine”). This proclamation was accompanied by anti-Jewish pogroms. Subsequently, the Nazis came into conflict with each other. Stepan Bandera was arrested. He claimed to have spent the remainder of the war in prison. It seems, on the contrary, that, protected by Alfred Rosenberg, he worked at the General Inspectorate of the concentration camps near Berlin. Ultimately, he ended the war commanding Nazi units against the Bolsheviks. Dmitro Dontsov, for his part, was appointed administrator of the Reinhard Heydrich Institute in Prague. There he was responsible for coordinating the “final solution of Jewish and Gypsy questions”. At the end of the War, Dontsov and Bandera were not tried, but were taken over by the Anglo-Saxons to fight against the Soviets. Contrary to what the entire nationalist propaganda after the War claimed, Bandera's troops never fought the Nazis. On the contrary, they massacred 1,5 million Ukrainians (out of 17 million at the time). The chiefs of staff of the current Ukrainian army all claim the legacy of Dontsov and Bandera.

Furthermore, Ukraine is finalizing preparations for the Peace Conference it is organizing on June 15 and 16 in Switzerland. It will be a matter of defining with all the Western Allies what a peaceful world should be. The German Chancellor, the Prime Minister of Denmark, the Prime Minister of the Netherlands and the Secretary General of the Council of Europe have already confirmed their participation. Compared to what was expected, the heads of state and government seem undecided about coming to participate, especially since President Zelensky will no longer be legitimate when his mandate expires on May 21, and he did not call an election, but banned the eleven opposition parties.

According to China, which declined the invitation, this conference refuses to take into account the security requirements of certain states.

According to Russia, which was not invited, this conference refuses to take into account numerous elements of international law.

President Zelensky's term ends on May 21. No election was called to choose his successor.

The Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation (SVR) announced its assessment of the situation in Ukraine. According to him, the popularity of President Volodymyr Zelensky is in free fall. The population blames him for the war which drags on as well as his postponement of the presidential election. Ukrainian politicians are reportedly holding consultations to determine who the next president will be and how to legitimize him.
