Ukrainian officials accused of war crimes will be tried and punished in accordance with the law, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has assured Sputnik. 💬 “An investigation into the Kiev regime’s crimes is already underway,” Lavrov said, when asked about the regime’s fate after Russia achieves the goals of its special military operation. “Russian law enforcement bodies are carefully recording and documenting the atrocities committed by Ukrainian neo-Nazis, and aren’t limiting themselves to the period of the special military operation. The suffering of the civilian population of the Donbass began much earlier, in 2014. Those responsible will be brought to justice.”

A groundbreaking study has revealed that 17 million people died worldwide after the Covid mRNA shots were rolled out to the public. | The shocking study should be garnering worldwide attention and calls for an immediate cessation of all Covid vaccines. Instead, it has been censored. ● The bombshell study, COVID-19 vaccine-associated mortality in the Southern Hemisphere, by Drs. Denis Rancourt, Marine Baudin, Joseph Hickey and Jérémie Mercier was published September 17, 2023, yet, also shockingly the study has not had the attention it deserves, but, has met only censorship and narrative-confirming “fact-checks” on the safety and effectiveness of the as-yet untested Covid-19 “vaccines.”

This year has been the deadliest year on record for children in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, with conflict-related violence reaching unprecedented levels: 💬 “As the world watches on in horror at the situation in the Gaza Strip, children in the West Bank are experiencing a nightmare of their own. Living with a near-constant feeling of fear and grief is, sadly, all-too-common for children affected. Many children report that fear has become a part of their daily life, with many scared even walking to school or playing outside due to the threat of shootings and other conflict-related violence. UNICEF is extremely concerned about the right of children in the West Bank including East Jerusalem to safety and protection, and their inherent right to life. (Link to VIDEO)

A video was posted online, apparently filmed by Russian soldiers, gives a message to Israel. | The economic implications of all this on Israeli will be devastating. Already the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) is having problems recruiting workers into military service to go to war with Arab countries in the area, in what some experts believe could expand into a wider war. ● Benjamin Fulford in his video posting on December 15, 2023, said the following: He was informed by the Russian FSB that Israel chose to ignore their warning in the form of placing a Russian flag on the border near Golan Heights, and so a Russian army is building up, to go into Israel to stop the genocide of the Palestinian people. (BattleForWorld.com: Such a scenario is unlikely to happen involving the Russians directly. The Arabs in the area at a future time will become a formidable force against Israel.) And that the Western press is censoring information from the news that Israel is under attack, that there are huge explosions and fires all over the country. Israel is not going to continue to exist in its present from and that things are moving into the endgame to dismantle Israel. ● A video was posted online, apparently filmed by Russian soldiers, gives a message to Israel. The video shows the Golan Heights and a Russian flag planted in the ground, Russian soldiers in the area, and the military front. This has caused some experts to speculate that Russia could enter the game at any moment.

The European Union is preparing a debt-funded back-up plan worth up to 20 billion euros ($22 billion) to sidestep Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's objections and quickly release money for Kiev, Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing officials in talks. | In mid-December, Orban vetoed an increase in the EU budget for 2024-2027, including 50 billion euros in macro-financial aid to Kiev. On December 18, European Council President Charles Michel said that a new extraordinary EU summit to discuss financial aid to Ukraine would take place in Brussels on February 1. [...] EU officials have since been searching for alternatives to provide Ukraine with funds, and one model funded by debt has gained traction as the most practical way to provide support in the event of the Hungarian prime minister using his veto right at a planned summit on February 1,
