Ukraine is releasing jailed far right murderers and criminals with a military background so they can join the fight against Russia’s “special operation” in the country, an official in Ukraine’s prosecutor general’s office confirmed on Sunday.
Katya Handziuk
Katya was doused with acid in July 2018 on a street outside her home and died in the hospital with severe burns 3 months lateer, still demanding justice, after suffering 12 operations for terrible burns .
Sergey Torbin, a former combat veteran, was one of the inmates released. Torbin previously fought in the conflict with the DPR and LPR. He was jailed for six years and six months in 2018 leading the gang who murdered Kateryna Viktorivna Handziuk a Ukrainian civil rights and anti-corruption activist.
Sinyuk said Torbin has now handpicked former inmates for his squad after his early release. Impunity has become…
Just before the Covid pandemic, on October 15, 2019, the organization announced that it was holding a “live simulation exercise to prepare public and private leaders for pandemic response.” If that sounds oddly coincidental, buckle up, because it only gets weirder.
The World Economic Forum (WEF), colloquially known as “Davos”, for those familiar with the annual pilgrimage by the international elite to the eponymous town in Switzerland, has been on the tips of many tongues over the past two years — notably within the context of the Covid-19 crisis.
When Canadian parliamentarian, Colin Carrie, of the Conservative Party, asked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government this week how many Canadian ministers were actually “on board with the World Economic Forum agenda” — before his connection “broke up” in the videoconference — he and the Canadians he represents deserved an honest response rather than accusations of spreading “disinformation”, as left-leaning New Democratic Party MP Charlie Angus did.
Speaking at a United Nations videoconference in the fall of 2020, Justin Trudeau raised eyebrows, with a hint of a potential link between the global pandemic and the Forum.
“I haven’t gone to the cinema, seen a theater play or attended a concert for two years,” says a worker from the Yemeksepeti online food delivery company, speaking to the Labor Studies Community and daily Evrensel for their report.
Migros warehouse workers have celebrated with folk dances that their protests for their rights have ended in their favor. Workers’ lawyer Ünder says that their struggle marks an unforgettable resistance in the history of Turkey’s working class.
Grain shipments from Russia have more than halved due to traffic restrictions in sea and river ports, the country’s grain union announced on Wednesday.
The decline in exports is due to disruption to both sea and river routes
“Before the current situation [the war in Ukraine and sanctions on Russia], daily shipments of grain from Russia amounted to 100,000 tons.
Now the volume is less than 40,000 tons,” the union’s president, Arkady Zlochevsky, said, as cited by RIA Novosti.
Not only has navigation via the Sea of Azov, which hosts several large Russian ports, been halted, but also shipments on river-sea routes in the Azov Basin, Zlochevsky explained, adding that only long-term contracts were currently permitted to be fulfilled.
Russia is the world’s largest exporter of wheat, accounting for over 18% of international exports.
Together with Ukraine, which has also stopped shipping grain, the two countries account for about 30% of global wheat supplies.
The crisis threatens to push food prices across the world to an all-time high.
Minister Vulin added that today is the seventh day in which Serbia shows that it is the only free country in Europe.
“A free country led by a free man. We did not stand still and obey the NATO order, we did not impose sanctions on Russia. We will not take property from the Russian Federation, we will not expel Russian children from schools and Russians from restaurants, we will not ban any Russian media,” [Minister of Internal Affairs Aleksandar] Vulin said, the Socialist Movement [Socialist Party of Serbia] announced.

Mariupol is a big port city, mainly ethnic Russian, situated in the part of Donetsk still controlled by Ukraine, between the Russian controlled areas of Donetsk Repuiblic (DPR) and Crimea. The Ukranian Nazis aim to again keep the city by any means (as they did in 2014) and have prepared a trap which threatens to cause a bloodbath as Russian and DPR troops close in.
The city of Mariupol remains blockaded by the joint forces of Russia and the DPR. Fighting is going on the outskirts of the city. At the same time, the joint forces do not begin the major assault, but several clashes were recorded in the city’s outskirts.
On March 2, the mayor of Mariupol Vadim Boychenko confirmed the beginning of street fighting in the city. According to him, Mariupol is being stormed from the northern and northwestern directions.

No attempts of counter-offensive attacks by Ukrainian forces were reported.
Given the large number of Ukrainian armed forces and nationalistic fighters in the city, it will not be possible to take it quickly. The main place of concentration of Ukrainian nationalist forces is Ordzhonikidze district, the left bank of the Kalmius River.
However, the UAF have no forces in the region to deblockade the city. The roads leading to Mariupol are under control of the joint forces of Russia and the DPR. On March 2, the DPR units closed the ring around Mariupol and took control over the settlements of Primorskoye, Priazovskoye, Shevchenko and Berdyansk.
As previously stated by the representative of the DPR, there is still a chance to organize the evacuation of civilians. For example, the Consulate General of Greece in Mariupol is compiling lists of residents with their own vehicles, for whom a “green corridor” should be secured, so that they could go to Romania and further to Greece. The evacuation of women and children is also reportedly being worked out.
However, the nationalist battalions, which are hiding in large numbers in residential areas of the city, are in no hurry to let their ‘human shields’ go.
The Ministry of Defense of Russia reported that in Mariupol, militants of the Azov battalion mined the workshops of the Metallurgical Combine Azovstal. Nationalists are ready to blow up the plant with people in case of a breakthrough in the city. Also, the Russian representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzia claimed the preparation of provocations with civilians in hostage, including women and children, were detected in the local schools.
At the same time, unlike in Kharkiv, the civilian territorial defense is inactive in Mariupol. The distribution of weapons is limited.
Meanwhile, the humanitarian situation in the city is deteriorating. There is no food and medicine supply in the city, people are starting to starve.
In many areas, power grids, water utilities and various civil infrastructure have been damaged. Despite the fact that the assault has not yet begun.
