"Occupation of Ukraine will not start from the Russian borders". Threats to negotiations between the West and Russia

Both sides of the confrontation are determined to maintain the status quo at least tactically, which will allow Moscow to get some small concessions from Washington and pass them off as a "global victory", while the West consoles itself with the fact that it has allegedly saved Europe from war...

From scarcity to coercion: specifics of vaccination against COVID-19 in occupied territories

"There are many problems even of a technical nature. I was revaccinated, I have a QR code, but in Donetsk. I am a citizen of Russia as well, and I am registered on the State Services website. But the QR code is not suitable because of the technical input"...

Economy of the Russian world in CADLO: Lies and desolation

Therefore, no growth is planned in fact, the current "authorities" in Donetsk simply hope to return to the pre-coronavirus level in 2-3 years. As for the expected increase in wages, you need to understand that now it is at bargain-basement levels...

Checkpoints in Donbas: getting used to live in isolation

Those who are not directly affected by this problem do not understand that it is not an abstract travel restriction of citizens, but disunited families, lack of freedom to choose a place of study or work and inability to visit the graves of relatives, or still living relatives…

Population of CADO is reduced by pseudo-vaccination with investigational drug

"The instruction was prepared on the basis of a limited amount of clinical data on the use of the drug and will be supplemented as new data becomes available. The protective titer of antibodies is currently unknown. The duration of protection is unknown…"

Heating season 2021-2022: new challenges

Russia and Belarus are being integrated into a single union state today and the Lukashenko regime has become for the Kremlin as puppet as, for example, the "DNR"-"LNR" "authorities". It is clear that if Moscow launched an energy attack on Ukraine from its side, then it can easily turn on an energy blockade on the part of the "union" Belarus at any moment...

Kremlin is tired: everything you need to know about the current situation in the Donbas and Russia's actions

The Russian Federation denies that it has any obligations under the Minsk agreements or the N-4 decisions and distances itself from participation in the events, missions or institutions that may indicate these obligations...

Tax amnesty: why has it already failed?

Thus, following the results of the amnesty, 0.026% of "shadow" income can be legalized in a year. An indicator next to none. Even if it grows 100 times in some mysterious way, it should still be considered a failure...

Bluff and provocation! Why "DNR" militants block OSCE work in Donbas

Why do they need this muppet show? There is every expectation that the actions of the militants to take members of the OSCE SMM hostage and demand that Ukraine return the "LNR" militant Andrey Kosyak it detained is a bluff and psychological pressure that will not have serious consequences for the work of the OSCE Mission...

Pure corruption! Fines for CADLO residents for travel through Russia continue

The phrase "humanitarian reasons" is corrupt. It allows border guards to continue writing out protocols on administrative offense.

Industry in CADLO: The curse of Vneshtorgservis

Conditions impossible not just for a decent life – but for elementary survival – are being deliberately created. But, of course, turning CADLO into a completely depopulated desert is also impossible – the subject for the foreign policy bargaining on the future fate of the region is lost in this case. Therefore, there will be no complete cessation of subsidies from the Kremlin...

"Election" showed: "Russian World" perished in the Donbas!

This "election" became a vivid evidence of the desacralization of the Russian "passportization" from the point of view of the ideology of the Russian Spring. The entire value of the Russian passport was reduced for the residents of CADLO purely to receiving material benefits from the occupier, collecting, so to speak, compensation for the ruined lives…

The holiday continues! The level of COVID-19 diseases in Donetsk is growing despite the "mass vaccination"

"We are drowning and, probably, will soon touch the bottom. And nothing can save us"

Plain and simple: the more coal a mine produces, the lower the cost per ton, the more it earns. In the absence of investment in development, production will continue to fall, while debts - and the penalties charged on them - will rise. This is a common problem for Ukrainian mines...

Everything for tourists: how Crimea is experiencing a new "wave" of coronavirus

Considering that Russia cannot get such a vaccine for all the money in the world, and there is no way to Europe for us, the only opportunity is mainland Ukraine. But most Crimeans are afraid to even plan a trip to Ukraine after so many years of propaganda...

Akhmetov expands his power…

It is not just about market monopolization. That is, the ability to dictate the prices to suppliers and buyers – taking advantage of the fact that there is no other buyer/seller able to offer more favorable conditions. Everything is much more serious: the growth of the economic power of R.Akhmetov's business empire accordingly increases his influence on Ukrainian politics...

Tool-2… Forecast of the development of situation in the Donbas

This suggests that Moscow reserves the opportunity for itself to carry out new aggressive actions in the South-East of Ukraine by the hands of the armed forces of CADLO. Moreover, such aggression is becoming a necessary tool for the Kremlin to coerce Kyiv into direct negotiations with its puppets in Donetsk and Luhansk…

A tool… How Russia uses Donbas against Ukraine and the West

There is no need to change the text of the Minsk agreements, or to accept any new agreements (Russia will not agree to this to the detriment of itself), - it is enough just to bring the Minsk process into line with the existing Minsk texts. This alone will lead to the emergence in the negotiations of the second party of the conflict - Russia...

Referendum on the Donbas "wall": blackmail, signal or reality?

This was a signal to Russia and its Western partners, which are inclined to the option of softening their positions with respect to the Russian Federation, that Ukraine is ready to defend its territories in all possible ways. It cannot continue the way it has been going on for seven years. Whether Russia recognizes itself as a party to the conflict and fulfills the Minsk agreements, or we change our policy, including the one concerning the Minsk agreements...
