Military officials say 440 unmarked graves found in liberated city in east Ukraine (UPI): Ukrainian authorities say that a burial site with at least 440 unmarked graves has been found in a city in eastern Ukraine, which was recently among the many areas retaken from Russian forces. ● Ukraine's ministry of defense announced the discovery via Twitter on Thursday, stating the mass graves were found in the eastern city of Izyum days after the city was liberated. The ministry posted pictures showing wooden crosses planted upon mounds of earth spread around a forest. ● Ukraine's Center for Strategic Communications said the graves belonged mostly to civilians and were "fresh." "This is not a 'special military operation,' but a series of horrendous crimes against humanity," the center said in a statement.

The Nazis refuses to take their dead (Mighty_RussiaOP -Telegram): 💬 "I have repeatedly written when that the command of the Nazis refuses to take their dead. That they are lying around in forests and plantings and that our command repeatedly went to the command of the Nazis with a request to send funeral teams to collect the dead, we will give a corridor. To which the Nazis responded with silence. After that, we ourselves collected and buried the decaying Nazis. Because they stank terribly. As for civil burials. If the Nazi bastards carry out an exhumation, they will see that all the buried have shrapnel wounds, which they received for 5 months in a row from continuous shelling from the side of the ukreich. After that, it is obvious that there is only one single "correct" version of what is happening. Just for those who have ears, I'm talking. He who has ears, let him hear. P. S. Notice: The "occupiers" put up a cross and signed the burial, and did not bury the Nazis in an unnamed pit like dogs. As real Ukro-Europeans do."

Kiev passes off dead Ukrainian troops as victims of Russian ‘repressions’ — Civic Chamber (TASS): Ukrainian authorities are attempting to pass off Ukrainian soldiers killed in action in the Kharkov Region as victims of alleged repressions by Russia, member of the Russian Civic Chamber Alexander Malkevich told TASS on Friday. ● On Thursday, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky recorded a video address in English where he claimed that a mass grave had been allegedly discovered in Izyum. On Friday, the representatives of foreign media outlets were brought there. According to Malkevich, this was necessary in order to promote this issue in the foreign press and accuse Russia of mass slaughter. 💬 "We are being shown multiple graves, they begin to dig them up, show the bodies. Actually, Russian troops and frequently the officials from military-civilian administrations were burying those killed Ukrainian soldiers that were abandoned on a battlefield by their so-called comrades. Now they are being passed off as the victims of Russian repressions while actually those are the Ukrainians whom their so-called comrades-in-arms didn’t care about," he said.

Zelensky aide says civilian officials in Russian-controlled territory are “legitimate targets” | The government in Kiev was behind the deadly shelling in Kherson and organizing the murder of two pro-Russian civilian officials in Berdyansk on Friday, Mikhail Podoliak, an aide to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, confirmed in an interview. However, Podoliak insisted these were not acts of terrorism but legitimate strikes against purely military targets.

💬 “Everything that happened in Berdyansk, in Melitopol, in Kherson — those are all absolutely legitimate military targets. Those are certainly not terrorist or, strictly speaking, criminal acts,” Podoliak said.

At least three people were killed and 13 were wounded on Friday morning when five missiles from the US-supplied HIMARS launchers struck the administration building in Kherson, which is under Russian control. Most of them were civilian passers-by, local authorities said. ● Kirill Stremousov, the deputy chair of the military-civilian administration, says the strike was intended to take him out. He survived only by chance, having accepted an invitation to appear in a TV talk show at the time of the shelling. ● Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that Ukraine has engaged in “terrorist attacks” against civilians and infrastructure, including attempts to damage nuclear facilities inside Russia. This behavior was unacceptable, he said, and if Kiev persists it will receive a “more serious” response from Moscow than a handful of “sensitive strikes” that damaged power stations and dams this week.

Germany seized the local unit of Russian oil major Rosneft PJSC as Berlin moves to take sweeping control of its energy industry, secure supplies and sever decades of deep dependence on Moscow for fuel. ● Alongside its THEFT of the Rosneft unit, Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s administration is in advanced talks to take over Uniper SE and two other major gas importers, Bloomberg reported on Thursday. Germany is pressing ahead with an historic overhaul of its economy just two and half years after the Covid-19 pandemic, outright stealing a huge chunk of its industrial base to prevent shortages and blackouts this winter. ● A decision on the next moves could come within days.

The attack by Azerbaijan against Armenia is already escalating very severely. That attack commenced on Tuesday. Yesterday, Iran began mobilizing troops to protect its border with Armenia and told Azerbaijan they will "not tolerate a change in Armenia geography." ● Today, Turkey began moving 45,000 Reserve troops because they support Azerbaijan, and Iran upped the ante by commencing movement of heavy armor to back-up its troops. ● Within days, the world could see the outbreak of yet another war; this on the south side of Russia . . . which is precisely what NATO. the EU and the USA want, so as to create havoc and require Russia to fight two wars on two fronts. ● This all due to Russia entering Ukraine to de-Nazify it.

Hal Turner Analysis and Editorial Opinion | We are now clearly seeing actual evidence of World War 3 preparations. OUR GOVERNMENT in the USA, conspiring with governments in Europe, are literally moving troops and armor into position to fight a war against Russia, which WILL lead to nuclear war. Russia has told the world form the beginning that if NATO comes against Russia, "it will be a war that no one will win." Those were the precise words of Russian President Vladimir Putin. As most readers know all-to-well, the only "war that no one will win" is a nuclear war. Yet our government is preparing to take actions that will result in exactly that.

COVID-19 is a “biological weapon” for which the U.S. federal government is responsible, according to prominent COVID-establishment critic Dr. Peter McCullough | An internist, cardiologist, and epidemiologist known for analyzing and commenting on developments in the COVID outbreak and the policy response, McCullough gave a recent interview to journalist Kristi Leigh to discuss the book he co-authored with John Leake, The Courage to Face COVID-19.

💬 “It was a government operation that created SARS-CoV-2 and the spike protein,” McCullough declared. “It’s the U.S. government that did it. And they were working on the threat and working on the response … this was all planned … SARS-CoV-2 is a biological weapon.”

Early in the pandemic, the theory that COVID originated in a Chinese lab rather than nature was bitterly condemned as harmful misinformation. But by mid-2021, as evidence mounted, mainstream voices began to acknowledge it as a possibility.
