Iran Openly Supports Russia Invading Ukraine And Blames NATO
The EU appear to have relaxed some sanctions against Russia to end the grain blockade
Tomorrow, apparently there is a deal to end the grain blockade, but it remains to be seen what deal was made, and under what conditions. The agreement will be signed on Friday, 22 July 2022, but let us wait to see if it happens. Meanwhile, Iran and Belarus are making pro-Russian statements that support the Russian action of invading Ukraine
.
Zelenskyy is busy getting rid of the traitors in the country, and stripping citizenship rights of those who are pro-Russian. This is again the reason why a ceasefire doesn’t help if there are domestic traitors who are conspiring with the aggressors in occupied regions
.
Concerns over Iran and Syria strengthening ties with Russia through their statements of support grow. This is an indication of them stating they are allies should the war escalate and expand outside of Ukraine, and NATO and the rest of the world should be prepared for any external support offered to Russia. That would mean the start of a World War.
Day 148 (21 July)
Olena Zelenska makes a speech in the US requesting more air defence equipment for Ukraine. As her husband dismisses more security personnel, it is a clear message that he is stamping out all corruption which has led to the Russians being able to invade and occupy territory so quickly
.
The UK has announced additional support and more heavy weapons to be sent to Ukraine. With the current leadership challenge in play, while Sunak and Truss are low down on my list of suitable candidates, as I said to a friend abstaining only enables the greater evil. In this situation, Truss would be the most stable option as she is the Foreign Secretary and has knowledge of the issues in Ukraine. This would be beneficial to Ukraine and world peace as she can continue to have a say in matters. Stability and consistency is essential to win the war, and a change of policy only assists the aggressor.
Iran is now a concern for Ukraine since Putin visited Tehran and put on a show of unity with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who claimed if Russia had not invaded Ukraine, then NATO may have attacked Russia. Iran is effectively supporting Russia’s actions, and claimed that the West is preventing Russia from developing as an independent state.
It looks as if there is a provisional deal in place to end the grain blockade as the EU look to relaxing some of the sanctions against Russia (such as fertilisers), which is exactly what the Russians wanted. The EU have tried to deflect this by saying they have imposed longer and stringent sanctions such as the export of gold. The latter is not a commodity that affects the masses and those with gold will have found methods of moving it outside the norms. Apparently an agreement will be signed in Ankara tomorrow, but we shall see it it happens and what has been conceded to agreed
.
Syria has officially severed diplomatic ties with Ukraine, even though Ukraine had already done that a week ago. This comes after Turkey, Russia, and Iran pledged their support for the Assad’s regime
.
HSBC is selling what remains of their business in Russia to Expobank, and is the latest business that has decided to exit Russia
.
Zelenskyy has stripped a Ukrainian oligarch (Ihor Kolomoisky) of his Ukrainian citizenship. Born in Ukraine, he also has Israeli and Cypriot citizenship. Pro-Russian Vadim Rabynovych, and Ihor Korban are included in the 10 people named in the presidential decree (502/20220 dated 18 July) to remove their citizenship.
.
Lukashenko of Belarus has been making pro-Russian statements again, telling Ukraine that is should accept Russia’s demands to avoid a nuclear war. Another way to look at it is for Russia to get out of Ukraine and not to start a nuclear war when they are trespassing in another country. This is the problem with people who cannot accept the USSR died in the lats century and who want it back. Belarus is technically run by a Russian puppet event though a number of Belarusians wish to fight for freedom and liberty.
Two claims made by Iran, or rather the Ayotollah Ali Khamenei in support of and defending Russia's invasion of Ukraine that you mention are ludicrous and defy logic: "... if Russia had not invaded Ukraine, NATO may have attacked Russia", and " ... the West is preventing Russia from developing as an independent state." WHAT?
