Iran Admits It Supplied Drones To Russia (allegedly prior to the 24 February 2022)
Russian barbarity in occupied areas with public hangings for Ukrainians who support Ukraine
Day 255 (5 November)
Zelenskyy talks of peace – it's quite simple, Russia leaves Ukraine and respects the territorial integrity, meaning that they leave the occupied regions and Russia compensates Ukraine for all the damage caused. The special tribunal to hold Russia accountable for the alleged war crimes is in the hands of the international alliances. However, we can see that Putin at least there's not interested in handing back the occupied regions, and it will take a lot of negotiating by the international alliances to get the money from Russia to pay for the reconstruction of Ukraine.
Iran has finally admitted that they did supply drones to Russia, but claim that this was prior to the invasion. Does this make a difference? The fact is that the radian government has lied for nearly a month, claiming that they did not supply Russia with any drones. The problem lies in the fact that there is actual evidence that the drones are Iranian. Why did Iran lie? Did they think that they wouldn't get found out? And I think the main issue here is that Iran deadly which means that they can't be trusted. Even if they did supply prior to the invasion, it was evident that there was a war on in the Donbas region, where are the drones could've been used in any case. This doesn't get Aaron off the hook, and the sanctions imposed against Iran and individuals remain.
Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said that Iran provided a small number of drones to Russia, but what does he mean by small?
A disturbing tale has been released that reported a public hanging in Skadovsk, in occupied Kherson. Tetyana Mudryenko was forced to drink something, and then hanged outside the courthouse by the Russians for being a Ukrainian patriot. This is why the Russians are making house-to-house searches in the occupied regions, searching for Ukrainian patriots, who are put on a watch list or are detained. This is something that one reads about in the Middle Ages from history, not in the day the news in the 21st-century.
The Ukrainian nurse, aged 56, was kidnapped from her front garden, dragged through the streets and then was killed by a public hanging. This is truly barbaric, and you cannot reason with, or negotiate with such people. How many other similar incidents have occurred that have not been publicly reported? How can it be considered a crime to defend your country and stand up for your people?
It appears that Russia had a reason to back down from the threat to withdraw from the Black Sea grain initiative. Report states that Russia is requesting that sanctions be eased to allow Rosselkhozbank to process transactions, which would allow Russian grain exports to be sold abroad.
An assassination attempt has been made on Oleksandr Nikulin, a ‘judge’ in the occupied region of Donetsk. He was the one who passed the death sentence on Sean Pinner and Aiden Aslin (UK citizens) and Moroccan, Saadoun Brahim. The court is not recognised by any international body, this appears to be the work of the resistance in Ukraine. Niklulin is currently in serious condition with a gunshot wound.
Around 1, 300 Starlinks appear to have gone offline, despite Elon Musk stating that service would not be disrupted despite a lack of funding from the Pentagon. This could be coincidental, but sources claim that the Starlinks or off-line due to funding issues. Hopefully this will be resolved soon, as the Ukrainian military depend on the satellites to provide the latest information. Otherwise, this could lead to unnecessary deaths. Currently, Musk has purchased Twitter and has laid off about 50% of the staff to cut costs.
Another issue that has been raised is the doxxing of Ukrainian protesters and nationalists by Russians. What has happened is that Russian activists on pro-Russian channels have been using social media and the Telegram app to distribute personal information about Ukrainian activists, their families, and soldiers with a view to attacking them. Among the information shared, are addresses, photos, phone numbers, the dates of birth, and email addresses. This has led to people sending threatening messages, and also breaking and entering into their homes and stealing their possessions.
The pro-Kremlin channel and project called ‘Work, Brothers’ and ‘Tribunal’ has also posted call number plates to enable other users to track activists, and their social media accounts so that others can harass and intimidate them. They claim they are collating information to convict alleged Ukrainian nazis so that they can tried in court. While Telegram claims to remove dangerous and harmful material, it appears that reported content is ignored.
All eyes are on Kherson and what will happen once the Ukrainian army advances. Will the Russians set traps, and how low will they go?
Repelling and shocking news that Ukrainian nurse Tetyana Murdryenko was hanged for merely being a Ukrainian patriot.
