Український дух/Ukrainian spirit

The Holodomor, also known as the Great Ukrainian Famine, was a man-made famine in Soviet Ukraine in 1932 - 1933 that killed millions of Ukrainians. The Holodomor is a genocide of the Ukrainian nation that was committed by the leadership of the Soviet Union in order to finally eliminate Ukrainian resistance to the regime and attempts to build an independent Ukrainian State.

Today's article focuses on the political component of the Kremlin's support abroad. Political circles that directly or indirectly support the Kremlin on the official level can be grouped geographically as follows:        -  China (Special Representative Li Hui [1])      -  Some African countries led by South African President Ramaphosa [2]      -  European countries/leaders: Hungary (Prime Minister Orbán [3]) and the Vatican (Pope Francis [4 - 6])      -  Some Latin American countries led by Brazilian President Lula [7]. They promote the following messages for global community:      a) the Ukrainian offensive operation failed, it is impossible to defeat the russian federation      b) Ukraine must sacrifice its territory and citizens for the sake of "peace"      c) Western countries and Ukrainians do not seek peace in contrast to the russian federation. An interested reader can find confirmation of the aforementioned statements by studying the material in the links. Ad

Сьогоднійшній матеріал фокусується на політичній складовій підтримки Кремля за кордоном. Політичні кола, які прямо чи опосередковано підтримують Кремль на рівні урядів, можна згрупувати географічно наступним чином:       -  Китай (спеціальний представник Лі Хуей [1])     -  Частина африканських країн на чолі з президентом ПАР Рамафозою [2]     -  Європейські країни/лідери: Угорщина (прем’єр-міністр Орбан [3]) і Ватікан (Папа Франциск [4 - 6])     -  Частина Латино-Американських країн на чолі з президентом Бразилії Лулою [7]. Вони просувають такі твердження:     а) український наступ провалився, перемогти рф не можливо     б) Україна має пожертвувати своєю територією і громадянами заради “миру”     в) західні країни і українці не шукають миру на противагу рф.

  Hela Ukrainas historia är vägen till självständighet. Att vara ukrainare och förstå sin historia har varit en svår väg för alla generationer, och vår generation är inget undantag.   Idag strider ukrainare återigen för självständighet, och återigen med vapen i sina händer. Efter decennier av bolsjevikisk ockupation och Rysslands hybridkrig mot Ukraina och mot vad det innebär att vara ukrainare. Ukrainare försvarar sin rätt att vara ett självständigt europeiskt land med demokratiska värderingar och friheter.   Vi försvarar vår rätt att tala vårt modersmål. Vår rätt att vara ukrainare. Ukrainare kommer aldrig att ge upp sin kamp för frihet som vi väderar högst av allt. Vårt ukrainska folk betalar högsta priset för friheten och självständigheten idag. Ukrainare har aldrig älskat sitt hemland så mycket som idag. Vi har aldrig drömt om friheten i Ukraina så mycket som idag.   Grattis på självständighetsdagen, Ukraina.   Vi är ättlingar till heroiska krigare, fria kosacker, stora poeter, ko

  Dagens Ryssland rättfärdigar sin imperialism och invasion av Ukraina med att de kämpar mot nazismen och skyddar den rysktalande befolkningen. Vi har vittnat liknande retorik och handlingar under 1900-talets historia som i en nygammal form återuppstod år 2014 och nådde kulmen år 2022. Tredje Riket ledd av Hitler annekterar Sudetenlandet 1938 i Tjeckoslovakien. År 2014 annektererar Ryssland  Krym halvön i Ukraina. Världen ser på och hoppas att diktatorn har nöjt sig och kommer att lugna ner sig. Sudetenlandet likaså Krym offras av världssamfundet utan några större sanktioner och är ett exempel på hur misslyckad eftergiftspolitiken är i verkligheten. Hitler genomför anschluss av Österrike år 1938. Ryssland går in i Donbass regionen år 2014 och utropar separatistiska "folkrepubliker" Donetsk och Luhansk. Diktatorerna har fått smak för erövring och de vill ha mer, mycket mer. Tredje Riket anfaller Polen år 1939, helt oprovocerat med en påhittad historia om pågående folkmord av t

Image projected in Gothenburg to commemorate Ukrainian POW killed by russians in Olenivka On the night of July 28-29th 2022 an explosion occurred on the territory of the former colony in the occupied Olenivka, Ukraine. Ukrainian defenders of Azovstal were withdrawn by order in May 2022 and were waiting for exchange. A horrible war crime, a mass murder of disarmed defenders was committed. The heroes of Azov were burned alive - the tragedy that will have no forgiveness.   Ukraine has identified  the bodies of 53 Azov defenders, 130 heroes  were injured. The exact number of the victims is still unknown.   The explosion in Olenivka was a planned terrorist act by russian army to cover up torture and detention conditions of Ukrainian prisoners of war. One year has passed and neither the UN nor the Red Cross managed to access  Olenivka for thorough investigation. The UN investigative group was created in August 2022 but stopped its mission without any conclusions.   We demand the UN and human

  Since the start of the full-scale war of Russia in Ukraine, we have witnessed numerous events and activities in support of Ukraine. Many voices world over have been heard on the topic of the war in Ukraine. There have been created NGO’s in support of Ukraine, panel discussions have taken place, articles and books have been released. We are grateful to individuals and organizations who sincerely support Ukrainians and the Armed Forces of Ukraine in their fight for freedom.   What brought our attention since the war started is that Russians are often invited to take part in the events, activities, and panel discussions on the war in Ukraine as equal voices to Ukrainians. Russians not only use the war in Ukraine to bring attention to themselves – they also capitalize the tragedy of Ukrainians. We have seen Russians publishing books and taking part in events, creating own job opportunities on integrating Ukrainian refugees in Europe, speaking during events on behalf of Ukrainians and pre

  How effective is propaganda? Is it the cause and origin of crimes committed by the population of those countries where totalitarian, aggressive regimes reign? Paying much attention to propaganda, we forget that the driving force of any society, even a totalitarian one, is its population. Without its will, it is impossible to commit crimes on a planetary scale. Considering the history of the past, we can recall that the National Socialist German Workers' Party gradually increased its presence in Reichstag before the proclamation of Hitler as Fuhrer. In November 1932, the NSDAP won 33.1% of the votes in the democratic elections in the Weimar Republic. At that time, there was no total Goebbels propaganda, however the idea of a great Germany was present in the air. Propaganda is not the cause of the events, but only a tool for consolidating the population around a single leader. A population that actually wants to hear the ideas of propaganda, looks for the idealogy, feels united wit

  The catastrophe in Novaya Kakhovka revealed the new aspects of the world community and its dealing with the crisis. Western media vocalized doubts on which side could have blown the dam – Russia or Ukraine. Russian propaganda has immediately put the blame on Ukraine, while Russian liberal movement has been triumphing over new occasion for blaming both sides. The biggest humanitarian organizations remained silent ignoring the disaster. Ukraine was left alone to rescue drowning humans and animals in the environmental apocalypse.  Indifference or “deep concern” from the international community is no longer news for Ukrainians. Shifting responsibility by different means has also been commonplace since the war in Ukraine started. Two techniques regularly used in the West on the war in Ukraine are bothsidesing and victim blaming.  Bothsidesing refers to media giving credence to the other side of a cause, action, or idea to seem fair or only for the sake of argument when the credibility of

  [ You can listen to a short version of the article in the form of a podcast using the link . If you want to follow all arguments and analysis, please read the article below.] This article starts a series of materials aimed at exposing those groups in the Western countries that profit from the suffering of Ukrainians and help putin and Moscow's imperialism achieve their goals. After the invasion of the russian federation (further on in the text the historical name of this state Muscovy is used) in Ukraine, a sufficient number of officials in the West stated that the beginning of the war came as a surprise to them. No one could have imagined such a thing, – they say. After reading all the articles from this series, the reader will be able to draw a conclusion if it is really the case.   Our first material is aimed at exposing the activities of the Western companies that help to lay the foundation of the aggressor's army. To date, the European Union has adopted 10 packages of sa
