The US offered to evacuate the Ukrainian president the day before the invasion. The Ukrainian president asked for planes and other weapons instead. The U. S. promised planes - but failed to deliver. The U. S. refused to enforce a No-Fly Zone over the Ukraine.

About one thousand civilians are sheltering under the city steel works, which the Russians are hitting with block-buster bombs. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has appealed for a four-day humanitarian truce during Orthodox Easter. More than 1,000 Ukrainian troops and foreign volunteers are holding out in the steel works. They are running out of ammunition and medicine. Five hundred soldiers are wounded. The Ukraine is trying to arrange with Russia the evacuation of civilians from Mariupol and safe passage for Ukrainian and allied soldiers to a third country.

Is Russia plotting a coup in Moldova? Text with upload: Moldova was the first country after the collapse of the Soviet Union in which Russia supported separatists, provoking a bloody war that lasted for several months in 1992.

In the East, most Orthodox Christians follow the Julian calendar and celebrate Christmas on 7 January. The Russian Orthodox Church celebrates Christmas on 7 January. The Orthodox Church of the Ukraine has broken with this tradition. It will follow the Gregorian calendar instead of the Julian calendar. The Ukrainian Parliament passed a bill to make the change on 14 July. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed the bill into law on 28 July. The Day of Ukrainian Statehood is moved from 28 July to 15 July. Defenders' Day - commemorating veterans of the armed forces - is moved from 14 October to 1 October. Some Orthodox Ukrainians will continue to celebrate Christmas on 7 January. Others will celebrate Christmas on 25 December.

Prigozhin enjoyed the patronage of Vladimir Putin, who is also from St. Petersburg, since Putin's days in the St. Petersburg government and the Boris Yeltsin Russian government in the 1990s. Utkin was a Russian army veteran and one of the leaders of the Russian revolt in the Donbas region of Ukraine. Prigozhin and Utkin were the founders and leaders of a large private military company (PMC), made up mostly of mercenaries and prison convicts. The name of the PMC was Wagner, after the call sign of Utkin. Utkin chose the name for the 19th-century German composer Richard Wagner because he was the favourite composer of Adolf Hitler, leader of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945. The Wagner PMC were the toughest and most successful of Russian troops in the war with Ukraine. Wagner retook the town of Bakhmut from the Ukrainians in May after months of fierce fighting and high losses. Prigozhin complained that the top Russian military leaders - Sergei Shoigu, Minister of Defence, Valery Gerasimov, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces - were obstructing deliveries of munitions to his troops. Fed up with the situation, Prigozhin led thousands of his troops in a march on Moscow from their base in Ukraine in June. Prigozhin intended to apprehend Shoigu and Gerasimov. Prigozhin and his troops drove through Rostov-on-Don and passed Voronezh. Prigozhin halted the march less than 200 k. from Moscow after reaching an agreement with the Kremlin. Prigozhin complained that Russian military leaders - Shoigu and Gerasimov - invaded Ukraine to enrich themselves and misled the Kremlin and the public about the war. Prigozhin maintained that the Russians were accomplishing nothing in Ukraine and should get out of it. Prigozhin became a hero to many Russians. Prigozhin and Utkin were on a private business jet, owned by Prigozhin, en route from Moscow to St. Petersburg. The plane was at 28,000 feet when there was a loud bang and the plane plummeted to the ground and crashed. All ten people on board the plane were killed. There were seven passengers and three crew. With Prigozhin and Utkin were five top members of the PMC. The three crew were two pilots and a flight attendant.

Musk claimed that the Russians would consider the Ukrainian offensive as a provocation and lead to Russian nuclear retaliation - and World War 3. Comment by Frank Ledwidge Actually, Starlink was not operating yet over that region of Ukraine. Musk refused to enable Starlink over Ukraine - for the same reason. During that time, Musk was in contact with Putin and the Pentagon. DW News 8 September 2023 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM6X_LuqqZ4 SEAN BELL Elon Musk says he thwarted a Ukrainian drone attack on Russian naval ships in the Black Sea in 2022 by 'agreeing' not to connect Starlink over the Ukraine Russia strikes President Zelensky's hometown of Kryvyi Rih with missiles Sky News 8 September 2023 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5XFYtST0yk Elon Musk and Ukraine BBC News 8 September 2023 Russia invaded and illegally annexed Crimea in 2014. Eight years later, in February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. SpaceX, in which Elon Musk is the largest shareholder, began providing thousands of Starlink satellite dishes to Ukraine shortly after Russia launched its assault on Ukraine in February 2022. Musk: 'There was an emergency request from Ukrainian government authorities to activate Starlink all the way to Sevastopol [the Russian naval base in Crimea]. The obvious intent being to sink most of the Russian fleet at anchor.' 'If I had agreed to their request, then SpaceX would be explicitly complicit in a major act of war and conflict escalation.' Musk said that SpaceX 'did not deactivate anything' because Starlink had not been activated over the Crimea yet. Russian naval vessels have since launched deadly attacks on civilians in Ukraine. A Ukrainian government official said: 'By not allowing Ukrainian drones to destroy part of the Russian military fleet, Elon Musk - via Starlink interference - allowed this fleet to fire Kalibr missiles at Ukrainian cities.' At the time, Musk also said that Ukrainians and Russians were dying 'to gain and lose small pieces of land' that were not worth their lives - and called for a truce. Musk provoked anger last year (2022) when he proposed a plan to end the war by formally recognising Crimea as part of Russia. Musk suggested residents of regions seized by Russia in February 2022 vote on which country they want to be part of. Russian chess grandmaster and political activist Garry Kasparov said that Musk's plan displayed 'moral idiocy'. In October 2022, Musk told the press that Taiwan should become a special administrative zone of China.

If they are deployed in the combat zone, but are not engaged in actual fighting, then they are to be paid 30,000 hryvnia ($784) a month. If they are involved in combat on the actual frontline, then they are to be paid 100,000 hryvnia ($2,616) a month, according to Ukrainian media. Thus, if all 500,000 additional conscripts are actually sent to fight, then Ukraine will have to spend $15.7 billion on salaries alone every year (unless casualties are not replaced). One also needs to keep in mind that Ukraine will also have to spend sizeable sums to train, equip and feed each of the conscripts once they have reported for duty, as well as provide treatment to those injured and compensation to families of those that are killed. Thus, Zelenskyy ' s recent estimate that a mobilization of 500,000 could cost $13 billion is not unreasonable. In my view, a country counting on the West to plug this year ' s projected budget deficit of $43 billion and which has a defense budget of $46 billion can hardly afford such a sum, unless its foreign donors decide to re-boost aid to Kyiv, perhaps, beyond 2023 levels, which is doubtful. Who could be conscripted to fight in Ukraine? BBC Newsnight 7 Feb. 2024 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GydKRPq7xI CONSCRIPTION IN RUSSIA Comment by Simon Newton, writing for Forces News, a British website, on 25 January 2024: How much are Russian soldiers being paid to fight Putin's war? . . . The starting wage for men who sign up, usually for three years, is 160,000 roubles a month ($1,792), which in Russia is seen as a good salary. The entire article: https://www.forces.net/russia/what-are-russian-soldiers-being-paid-fight-putins-war It would appear that Russian soldiers are paid more than Ukrainian soldiers. If so, that is not much incentive to join the army in Ukraine. Ukraine should offer more. Ukraine should up army pay to levels considerably higher than Russian army pay. Then Ukraine will get all the soldiers it needs to run the Russians out of the country. Whatever it costs, Ukraine should get the money, from the U. S. or E. U. The U. S. can give large amounts of money, arms, ammunition through various covert programs, by-passing Congress.

S. MILITARY AID The bill for $95 billion in foreign military aid passed the U. S. Senate The bill is now in the U. S. House of Representatives The bill has been divided into four separate bills, to be voted for or against separately: 1. Military aid for Ukraine of $60.8 billion 2. Military aid for Israel of $26.4 billion 3. Military aid for the Indo - Pacific, mostly for Taiwan, of $8.1 billion A fourth bill calls for funding aid from seized Russian assets. The aid will be used to rebuild Ukraine and assist the country to maintain a decent level of prosperity. The bills that pass the Senate will be put together again, as one bill, and sent to the President for final approval. It must be remembered that the U. S. Congress would not vote to declare war on Germany and Japan until the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, which was followed by a German declaration of war against the U. S. The American declaration of war, in December 1941, came two years and three months after the Second World War began in Europe, in September 1939. Biden, Austin, Blinken and many others in Washington are obviously in the pay of Taiwan, Israel and Russia. Otherwise, Taiwan would be sold off to China. And the press and politicians, following the greater public, would dump Israel and back the Arab nations. Thus, the U. S. is an active partner (and more) of Israel in the six-month butchery of Gaza and the growing number of murders of Palestinian residents in the West Bank. Thus, too, Palestine is not yet a member of the United Nations. The U. S. opposes statehood and blocks membership. Thus, the U. S. has prevented Ukraine from defending itself against Russian aerial bombing and a Russian ground offensive. Russia's agents in Washington have hindered defence of Ukraine by refusing to supply modern fighter jets, which are needed to knock out Russian raiders, and long-range missiles, which are needed to knock out Russian missile bases hundreds of miles away. They have even told the Ukrainians not to launch drones against Russia. Too much money has been wasted in sending obsolete and defective weapons to Ukraine. Leopard 1 tanks are valued for training purposes. They are no match for the latest Russian equipment. Biden and Blinken are also in the pay of Ukraine (kickbacks on aid to Ukraine). Otherwise, Ukraine would be sold to Russia.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Early afternoon, Sat., 20 April 2024 311 votes for, 112 against The Independent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftxmIRFGOGw Mike Johnson MSNBC 20 April 2024 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgqCFRtlBFk Forbes Breaking News https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUiYx4jKvx0 UKRAINE AID - 311 for, 112 against ISRAEL AID - 366 for, 58 against - about one-third of the aid is for humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. TAIWAN AID - 385 for, 34 against - includes military aid to the Philippines and other Indo-Pacific countries. RUSSIAN ASSETS - 360 for, 58 against - authorises the seizure of $5 billion in frozen Russian assets for distribution to Ukraine. The Senate will consider the bill on Tuesday, 23 April 2024. After the Senate passes the bill, it will be sent to the President, who will sign it. Arms and ammunition should arrive in Ukraine within the week. The problem will be ensuring that everything arrives ASAP - not piecemeal, over many months and years. And arrives intact - no missing parts. And arrives in working shape - not defective. It was a mistake to put the aid bill for Israel with the aid bill for Ukraine. Ukraine is fighting a defensive war. Israel is conducting genocide. PRESIDENT ZELENSKY Thanks the U. S.

The U. S. government will get most of the money, to replace the arms and ammo it sends to Ukraine. In the U. S. armed forces, mechanics bill the Pentagon $200 for a $2 screwdriver. $5 to 8 billion of seized Russian assets are to be used to assist the Ukraine to recover its economy and maintain an acceptable standard of living.

In a TV studio. No crowd. Trump looked subdued and sounded better than usual. Biden slurred his beach, sputtered, flipped out and petered out. For Trump, it was an easy ninety minutes of 'jus' talkin'. Who won? Trump. Both men are growing old. Trump might be winding down. Biden is unlikely to last to the elections. The press was disappointed with Biden and gave up on him. It will be difficult to carry him much longer. The Democratic Party will have to field another candidate when - not if - Biden acknowledges reality. The party convention is in August. Some think they can run Biden's VP, Pamela Harris.

At Kursk, the Germans abandoned the offensive and went on the defensive. Kursk marks the beginning of the long drive west by the Soviets. The Germans seemed to be winning the battle when Hitler called off the offensive. In the West, the Allies / the Americans and British had invaded Sicily and were to head north up the boot of Italy. More German troops were needed in the West to fight the Allied attack. German troops were taken from Eastern Front and sent to Italy. The remaining troops in the East went on the defensive and began a long withdrawal and retreat from the East that ended in Berlin two years later, in May 1945. Kursk is remembered also as the biggest tank battle in history.

ACCORDING TO VARIOUS REPORTS, THERE ARE 8,000 TO 50,000 RUSSIAN TROOPS IN KURSK AT PRESENT, INCLUDING OR NOT INCLUDING 8,000 TO 12,000 NORTH KOREAN SOLDIERS. ACCORDING TO THE UKRAINIANS, THEY HAVE RECEIVED ONLY 10 PER CENT OF THE ARMS THAT WERE PROMISED TO THEM FOR 2024 BY THE AMERICANS. THE UKRAINIANS WILL NEED MANY ALLIED TROOPS TO HOLD BACK THE RUSSIANS AND TO RECOVER OCCUPIED LAND. THE U. S. AND NATO MIGHT IGNORE THE MATTER AND WATCH A DISASTER FROM AFAR. OR THEY MUST FIGHT ANOTHER KOREAN WAR, THIS TIME IN EUROPE. THEY WILL NEED ANOTHER INCHON LANDING, TO PUSH THE RUSSIANS AND KOREANS OUT OF UKRAINE QUICKLY AND COMPLETELY. THEY MUST TAKE A STAND NOW OR PREPARE FOR WAR IN THE BALKANS AND THE BALTICS LATER.

Is it just a publicity stunt, for Biden to cover his ass against accusations of cowardice? Does Biden expect Trump, another appeaser, to cancel the permit? The U. S. is involved every step of the way - in the planning of a strike to final authorisation of the strike. Ukraine fired six to eight missiles. Russia knocked down two to five of them. Ukraine has only fifty ATACMS. Needs many more. How many missiles is the U. S. promising Ukraine? Will the missiles ever be delivered? THE KREMLIN WARNS OF NUCLEAR WAR Nothing new.
