Ok, regarding greektimes they link their info to RIA Novosti - the main russian propagandist media so I miss this instantly. In another article they also mistake a Slavic symbol Kolovrat with Black Sun, calling it a nazi symbol. What I want to clarify at first is that the nazis didn't create new symbols they just took them from Germano Scandinavian and Slavic cultures. That's what I wanted to say first.

Secondly, regarding the history of Azov as a regiment. Yes, it was created by Biletsky with a help of Avakov (Armenian ethnos) and also oligarch Kolomoiskiy (jew), both of them are highly objectionable in our society. Avakov for a long time was a Minister of Internal Affairs and built a very corrupted system. He, basically, completely subjugated the police, brought to the political scene a lot of scoundrels, and his actions, and soon his person began to cause a lot of public outrage and protests.
Kolomoiskiy - co-owner of the Privat group, a well-known corrupt official. In 2020, according to the OCCRP, he was among the four largest corrupt officials in the world, on charges of stealing $ 5 billion from Privatbank through a number of offshore companies.

Also, there also was named Botsman/Maliyuta (Sergei Korotkih). This person is just garbage, one of the biggest pieces of shit that Avakov brought to Ukraine and made him work on him as a personal killer.
He is a famous Belarus-Russian neo-nazi, student of the KGB school, who helped to establish connections between russian MVD and neo-nazi movements. If you are interested in that topic - watch the Vlady Antonewicz documentary about it https://nfct.org.il/en/movies/credit-for-murder/

Comparing Azov to Al-Qaeda is just nonsense, I don't even want to dig into it. Azov is a part of the National Guard, it's official and the same laws apply to it as to other battalions.
Regarding multicultural

Now about these images of neo-nazis that Bellingcat posted. I will not deny this, it would be stupid, that some people from nationalist or football hooligan movements in Ukraine, same as in many other post-soviet countries, are following neo nazi ideas, using their symbols and stuff like that. There's nothing to be proud of, I would even say it's a shame. A shame, that those people do not know the history of our country and how our nation suffered from 3d Reich's nazis same as we have suffered from the USSR.
I know that the co-founder of Azov Biletsky has a bond with the ex-minister of MVD Avakov. Biletsky often expresses an active position on political crimes made by others but never actually confronted Avakov despite so many repressions towards Ukrainian patriots, activists, and combatants. It is a shame indeed and it shouldn't be like that.

My point is that the Azov regiment as a structure should not be judged by the deeds of these individuals, ESPECIALLY now, when Azov has transformed pretty much into a high standard regiment, that has proven its devotion to Ukraine and the Ukrainian people.
Azov is not a neo nazi organization, it is not institutionalized in there, the regiment is subordinate to the Ukrainian military command, their military doctrine, and the laws of Ukraine. That is it, now you can call me brainwashed if you wish but I stand my ground.

I respect that you aren't completely denying it and I think we should leave it at that.

I don't think they transformed into anything different, it's not like they kicked all the obvious nazis from the battalion. The way I see it, the only reason they are in national guard is because they are very well trained with guns and Ukraine needs all the help they can get at the moment. They do not follow the same regime as the Ukraine army, they are still independant.

I can see why you would defend them, but frankly speaking they are globally known as neo-nazis and it's pretty much a fact. That said I don't think they deserve any respect at all. They are doing the right thing but for the wrong reasons.


ANYWAYS change of subject:
A lot more atrocities are being uncovered in Bucha right now, even beheadings. Here's an article detailing some findings today for anyone interested (some NSFW images though): https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...sian-soldiers/

Also Russia has just been kicked out of UN Human Rights Council, big blow to their credibility even in Russians' eyes.

Looks like soon they will have no choice but to retreat the way things are progressing. The only thing keeping Russia from bankrupting now is their oil, but that's not going to last forever.
Right now Russians have bombed a railway station in Kramatorsk, reportedly it was OTR-21 Tochka-U, with cluster warheads, which is banned by CCM, for it poses an immediate threat to civilians during the conflict by randomly scattering submunitions or bomblets over a wide area. They also wrote "ทฐ ดตยตน"(For children) on its tail.
Reportedly 40 dead, 100 injured (2 children confirmed atm)

The only evacuation trains from the Donetsk region depart from Kramatorsk. All buses go to Kramatorsk to transfer to trains there.

.



Also notable, rashists telegram channel posted "20 minutes ago rocket arrivals on Kramators railway station. Targeting accumulation of ZSU militants" (screenshot was saved)
But later they deleted this post and wrote instead "Judging by the location of the wreckage of the Tochka-U, the arrival was from the south-west from the territory controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine."
Same as russian propaganda accused Ukraine of bombing Kramatorsk.

Screenshots



UPD:
They also made a post on another channel at 00:09 of today "citizens who evacuate from Slavyansk, Kramatorsk and other cities nearby, I'd rather you not to use railway"

About an hour ago (21:00 UTC+2) 11.04.2022
Reportedly, Russian occupation forces have used chemical substance against Ukrainian defenders and citizens of Mariupol, that they've dropped with russian UAV
The victims have respiratory failure, vestibular ataxia.
-----

Basurin said that it makes no sense to storm the underground fortifications of Azovstal in Mariupol, you need to "turn to the chemical troops"

"There are underground floors, so it makes no sense to take this object by storm. Because you can put a large number of your soldiers, and the enemy will not suffer losses as such"
“Therefore, at the moment it is necessary to deal with the blocking of this plant, find all the exits and entrances - in principle, this can be done.

Message from Basurin, that was posted earlier that day by the federal propagandist media RIA Novosti
Eduard Oleksandrovych Basurin is a war criminal, a member of the DNR(DPR) terrorist organization, and a “deputy commander” of the Republic Ministry of Defense since 2015. He calls himself a colonel of the "armed forces" of his terrorist group.
-----
The media reported on the possible use of "Zarin" in Mariupol

The clinical picture of the impact of "Zarin" on a person:
The first signs of human exposure to sarin (and other nerve agents) are nasal discharge, chest congestion, and constriction of the pupils. Shortly thereafter, the victim has difficulty breathing, nausea, and increased salivation. Then the victim completely loses control over the functions of the body, it vomits, involuntary urination, and defecation occurs. This phase is accompanied by convulsions. Ultimately, the victim falls into a comatose state and suffocates in a fit of convulsive spasms, followed by cardiac arrest.

This isn't being reported but a Ukranian tank (presumably captured by Russians) shot at Ukranian soldiers at a point blank range. Yesterday or the day before yesterday, not sure, the details are almost non-existent on this.

There's also an aftermath video but I can't post it here. If anyone wants it you can PM me.

I believe they thought it was a captured enemy tank.

The first data on the symptoms of poisoning in Mariupol have appeared

Fortunately, they are not very similar to the symptoms of severe organophosphorus poisoning (sarin / zoman). Weakness, tachycardia and hyperemia are most often mentioned. The first thing that comes to mind in terms of BOV are non-lethal anticholinergic drugs.

The most famous of these substances is 3-quinuclidyl ester of benzyl acid or so-called. "substance BZ" (Bi-Z). Substance BZ binds to muscarinic cholinergic receptors in the central nervous system, smooth muscle and exocrine glands and blocks acetylcholine (= acts as a cholinoblocker). Anticholinergic toxic syndrome occurs but is mild.

Russian warship followed the directions: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe...ax-2022-04-13/
That's the exact ship that was told to go fuck itself by Ukrainian border guards on Snake Island back when the full-on invasion began in February.

Niedawno przypominalismy o Katyniu

Construction equipment with Russian flags and the letters “Z” was brought to the Katyn memorial, erected in memory of the executed Polish soldiers near Smolensk. In the video, the commentator addresses "ordinary Poles", stating that they "should come to their senses and think" and condemns the actions of the Polish authorities to demolish the monuments, adding that Polish shrines are not going to be demolished.

This got a bit silent but the ongoing war hasn't.

Russia keeps shelling Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, with bombs - even during UN Secretary-General's visit. Despite Russia's usual claims that they use high precision missiles and only target military targets, strikes result in civilians' deaths. And yes, they've been killed as their homes got bombed.

As Putin declares the occupied city of Mariupol "liberated", its remaining inhabitants are still blocked with no access even to minimum survival necessities - water, food, medicine etc. There are reports of city being on the verge of an epidemic due to extreme conditions with decomposing bodies being scattered around and sewage systems being basically destroyed by ruscist bombs.
Also a bit regarding the so-called "liberation": Kadyrov's tiktok army is a bit more specific on the actual orders. Not as if it wasn't clear before though.

In the meanwhile, Russian propaganda is getting ruscists ready for WW3 and nuclear strikes on Ukraine and "collective West".


On a slightly brighter side, US Congress has approved the lend-lease program for Ukraine, which basically means at least $33b more for Ukraine's efforts against Russian invasion once it's signed by POTUS Biden.
