West ignores evidence of Ukrainian torture, use of prohibited weapons
excerpt Tortures, atrocities and the revival of concentration camps
In recent months, there have been several scandals around the executions of Russian POWs by the Ukrainian military. Neo-Nazis were filmed shooting Russian POWs in the legs, and another recent video shows a mass shooting of POWs in Makeevka, Lugansk Region. Even the UN couldn’t ignore these atrocities.
Matilda Bogner, the head of the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, said in a statement: “We have received credible information of torture, ill-treatment and incommunicado detention by Ukrainian Armed Forces of prisoners of war belonging to the Russian armed forces and affiliated armed groups.” Not that it had any consequences for Kiev.
And what was the reaction of Human Rights Watch? They demanded that the torture of POWs should not be recorded on a camera ever again. Of course, no evidence, no war crimes.
Rhymes from the frontlines: How the Ukraine conflict has inspired a new wave of patriotic poetry in Russia
However, the torture, abuse and illegal detention in prisons of not only combatants but also civilians started as early as 2014. Alexey, who was taken prisoner on August 26, 2014, recounted: “They beat us indiscriminately with all kinds of objects – crushing the toes with a shovel shaft or a sledgehammer, or the knees with a hammer, or kicking us with their legs everywhere… At night, they stripped us to the underpants, tied us to a fence and threw cold water on us all night long, never letting us dry.
In the morning, they resumed the battering. At noon, we were taken to the Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO) headquarters to be beaten up there. And we were thrown into a pit for the night.”
Nuclear Blackmail yet our goverment extends their stay in power ?
Perhaps the most striking statement by a Ukrainian politician was made by David Arakhamia, the head of the Ukrainian parliament’s ruling parliamentary faction, Servant of the People. “We could blackmail the whole world, and we would be given money to service (nuclear weapons), as is happening in many other countries now,” he said in mid-2021. ....... The new ‘revolutionary’ government, which came to power in 2014, was quick to plunge into its own experiments with nuclear power together with Westinghouse, which was suffering from financial distress. For the company, which filed for bankruptcy in 2017, the Ukrainian market could have been a much-needed lifeline – however, it wasn’t to be, because it once again emerged that the counterfeit fuel assemblies were dangerous for VVER-type reactors. Emergencies at Ukrainian NPPs became a routine event, and yet Westinghouse assemblies accounted for 46% of all nuclear fuel used in Ukraine by the end of 2018.
These risky experiments went beyond using non-standard fuel assemblies. In the fall of 2014, Kiev sent direct orders to boost electricity production at the South Ukraine NPP by 5 to 7%. To achieve this, three VVER-1000 reactors were supposed to operate in “controlled runaway mode,” and a whole algorithm was developed by Ukrainian and British engineers. It was this type of experiment that resulted in the explosion at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986. A potential disaster was only averted by an ‘Italian strike’ organized by the NPP personnel, who refused to fulfil outsiders’ orders. This might have been what former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen meant when he said: “We have, upon Ukrainian request, sent a small team of civilian experts to Ukraine to assist the Ukrainians in improving security of their civilian nuclear plants.”
‘Revolutionary expedience’ was used a pretext for a mass exodus of experienced nuclear engineers from Ukrainian NPPs. As Ukrainian MP Viktoria Voytsitska said in 2018, literally all categories of workers were thinking of leaving Ukrainian NPPs, from steam engine drivers and riggers to engineers who controlled reactors and other high-tech equipment. https://www.theinteldrop.org/2023/01/06/kiev-secretly-building-nuclear-weapons-tid-confirmed/
Spooky British journalist Andrew Neil appears on an objective reading of his latest article to be predicting — and some might say, tacitly encouraging or inciting — moves against Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Andrew Neil’s statements could also be read as a veiled warning or ‘threat’ to the couple, similar to that which then Minister Nicholas Soames reportedly made to Harry’s ill-fated mother (“accidents can happen”).
Artful passages in Neil’s new piece purport to do nothing more than warn of potential danger to the royal couple and their kids. Yet some would argue they’ve been crafted to serve what appears to be an entirely different, far less benevolent, intent. On the surface, they appear to evinces ‘fatherly’ concern. From another angle they read very darkly.
Judge for yourself:
“The danger he [Harry] and those around him now face isn't just some planned and professional revenge assassination attempt, ***though that can't be ruled out***,” Neil writes.
“I wouldn't be surprised if those who live next to the couple in [Montecito] … are thinking of launching a petition demanding that they get out of town,” Neil says.
“Harry has placed a large target not just on his own back but on his family's and ***even his neighbours' backs***.”
“Some in the Taliban, and its allies, will already be mulling over a rather more violent response.”
Is that so, Mr Neil? And you would know that, how, exactly?
Andrew Neil entered journalism as a correspondent for The Economist “and was later promoted as editor of the publication's section on Britain.”
“Neil has threatened to sue the American businesswoman and former lover of Boris Johnson, Jennifer Arcuri, over claims she made on Twitter linking Neil to the billionaire and child sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein …
“Neil denies ever meeting Epstein and argues he was put in his infamous ‘black book’ by Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's procurer.”
The British army “don’t do notches on the rifle butt. we never did”
Retired army veteran Col Tim Collins is “best known for delivering a rousing speech before the start of the Iraq war in 2003”

“‘Amongst his assertions is a claim that he killed 25 people in Afghanistan. That’s not how you behave in the army; it’s not how we think … We don’t do notches on the rifle butt. We never did.’”
