Olga Sukharevskaya: How the West has long planned to use Ukraine to fight a proxy war with Russia

By Olga Sukharevskaya, ex-Ukrainian diplomat In this aerial view, A Ukrainian Army tank drives over an infantryman during a training exercise on May 09, 2022 near Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Ukraine. © Photo by John Moore/Getty Images Since the beginning of Russia’s military offensive, almost one year ago, Ukraine has received tens of billions of dollars from the West. These funds are directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of people, including civilians in the east of Ukraine. Primarily focused on their own interests, the US and its allies are full aware that the war would have ended long ago, without their largesse. Billions spent on murder ...

White House doctor reports on Biden’s fitness to serve

One small lesion was removed from the president’s chest and sent for testing, according to his physician FILE PHOTO © AP / Evan Vucci US President Joe Biden was said to be “vigorous” and “healthy” following his latest medical examination, with the White House physician saying the 80-year-old leader remains “fit for duty.” The routine health check-up was outlined in a five-page memo issued on Thursday by the president’s physician Kevin O’Connor, who noted Biden’s condition was “unchanged from baseline” following his last physical in late 2021. “President Biden remains a healthy, vigorous 80-year-old male, who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency,” O’Connor said.

After 15 years of ‘independence’, it is clear that Kosovo was a stepping stone for NATO’s imperial goals

Similar to Ukraine, Serbia’s breakaway province is an exercise in the ‘rules-based order’, where rules are made up for the convenience of Western powers By Aleksandar Pavic, political analyst FILE PHOTO.

It seemed oh so simple and straightforward at the zenith of the “unipolar moment,” and Kosovo Albanians were “confidently awaiting Western recognition for their state despite the anger...

Kiev’s security chief gives his take on Soviet Union’s collapse

Ukrainians were behind the fall of the USSR, Aleksey Danilov claims, threatening that his country can now do the same to Russia Alexey Danilov. © Ukrainian Presidency / Handout/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images The collapse of the USSR in the early 1990s was the achievement of a handful of Ukrainians, the secretary for Kiev’s National Security and Defense Council, Aleksey Danilov, said on Thursday. Speaking on air during a local telemarathon, Danilov declared he could “confidently say that it was we, the Ukrainians, who destroyed the Soviet Union.” According to him, of the 176 miners that participated in the first strike in the USSR in 1989, 94 were Ukrainians. Danilov noted that these strikes were the catalyst that caused the eventual collapse of the ...

Nuland outlines US goals for Ukraine conflict

The Maidan “midwife” hopes for conquest of Crimea and regime change in Russia FILE PHOTO © AP / Susan Walsh Unless the Crimean peninsula is at the very least “demilitarized” Ukraine won’t feel safe, while the ideal end to the current conflict is with a revolution in Moscow, the US Deputy Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland said on Thursday. Ukrainians “have to get to a map that is more sustainable for them,” Nuland said in a video interview with the Washington think tank Carnegie Endowment. They have “significant chunks of territory they need to be a viable state, before you even get to the question of Crimea, and that’s what they’re focused on now.” The US position is that Ukraine is “owed and du...

Russia demands UN probe Nord Stream blasts

The State Duma has voted in favor of calling for an urgent international investigation into the explosions © Getty Images/lucagavagna Lawmakers in the Russian State Duma, the lower house of parliament, unanimously voted on Thursday to adopt an appeal to the UN demanding a probe into the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines in September. MPs described the incident as a “crime committed by the US.” The move comes after a bombshell exposé was published by veteran investigative journalist Seymour Hersh last week revealing how Washington and its NATO ally Norway cooperated to develop a plan to destroy the pipelines. Russia’s appeal was prepared on behalf of State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin, who, during Thursday’s parliament meeting, called the blasts a ter...

US increasingly sees Ukraine aid as ‘finite’

Kiev no longer has a “blank check” from Washington, and support may wane as political opposition grows, Newsweek says Presidents Joe Biden and Vladimir Zelensky walk toward the Oval Office during the Ukrainian leader's visit to the White House on December 21. © Getty Images / Alex Wong Support among US lawmakers for continuing aid to Ukraine is “fairly robust,” but as the conflict with Russia drags on and the 2024 election approaches, Washington’s backing for Kiev may waver, Newsweek reported on Wednesday. Members of Congress increasingly view Ukraine aid as “finite,” and more and more of their constituents believe the US is giving too much to Kiev, the media outlet said. “There has been a decline in the share of Americans who...

Hersh dubs Nord Stream sabotage ‘dumbest’ US act in years

The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist said Washington treated EU states as “second rate” partners © YouTube / Democracy Now! Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has slammed Washington's alleged involvement in bombing the Nord Stream gas lines as one of the “dumbest” decisions taken in years, warning that the move will have “horrific” consequences for Europeans and further undercut the already “supremely useless” NATO alliance. Speaking in an interview with Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman on Wednesday, Hersh outlined his recent report on the destruction of the pipelines last year, which found that the US played a key role in planting and detonating explosives on sections of the Nord Stream pipelines under the...
