#russian attack on europe
Lyubov, who worked as an accountant, lived under Russian occupation for nearly a year and “in January of this year, they came for me,” she said.
Speaking via a translator, she said that Russian soldiers forced their way into her house, claiming they were looking for weapons, and confiscated “a map of Ukraine, the flag of Ukraine, souvenir magnets with Ukraine images, and a token with blue and yellow ribbon symbolizing victims of World War II.”
“Those were their evidence against me,” she said.
She was taken to what she called a “torture chamber” and held for five days, where she said she was beaten, forced to undress, cut with a knife and threatened with rape and murder(..)
P.S. The so-called "pacifists" and all other Russophiles who hinder the strengthening of Ukraine's self-defense capabilities are actually complicit in Russian war crimes...

This is a magazine cover from August 2008, after the russian invasion of Georgia. It said: 'Ukraine will be the next'. The West appeased russia in 2008. Don't repeat the same mistake. This time there are no more countries left between russia and the EU to be next

[ 📹 After Russian authorities tried to stop a white Renault sedan, the same vehicle the terrorists that attacked Crocus City Hall were seen escaping in, the vehicle refused to stop, after which Russian police opened fire on and overturned the vehicle. After pulling one of the suspects out of the sedan, tying the man up, he is interrogated, telling local authorities that he was offered half a million rubles to engage in the attack.]
🇷🇺 🚨
AS THE U.S. BLAMES ISIS FOR TERRORIST ATTACK AT CROCUS CITY HALL, RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES ARREST MERCENARIES TRYING TO ESCAPE TO UKRAINE
As the United States tries to pin the blame for the terrorist attack on the Crocus City Hall on the ISIS extremist group, Russian authorities arrested 11 men in relation to the event, including the four gunmen responsible for the carnage at the concert hall as they attempted to cross into Ukrainian territory.
Recently, the ISIS extremist group, which has a history of working on and off with the Intelligence agencies of the United States, and have been accused of acting as proxy for the U.S., claimed responsibility for the attack through its associated news agency Amaq on its Telegram channel.
However, in a recent address to the Russian people, newly reelected Russian President, Vladimir Putin, told the country's population that the attackers made arrangements with Ukrainian authorities to open a window for which the attackers would escape over the border into Ukraine.
According to Russian media, on the morning of March 23rd, a white Renault sedan, the same vehicle the suspects were seen escaping from the Crocus City Hall in, was seen heading towards Ukraine, about 100km (62mi) from the border.
The suspects refused to stop for local police, after which, police forces opened fire on the vehicle, overturning the sedan and wounding one of the suspects.
After pulling one of the suspects out of the vehicle, police tied the man up and attempted to interrogate him on camera.
The video, published online by local authorities, shows the suspect being interrogated on his knees, shaking and barely able to answer the authorities questions.
During the short interrogation, the suspect tells Russian authorities that he received the task of the terrorist attack after following a "preacher" on Telegram. At some point, the "preacher's assistant" assigned him the attack on Crocus, offering him half a million rubles to shoot up the concert hall, even paying half the sum before hand.
“I listened to the preacher... His assistant wrote to me... about a month ago,” the detainee said.
He goes on say to Russian authorities that after a conversation with the "preacher's assistant," he received the task of "killing people."
Russian news outlet Ria Novosti described the information extracted from the suspect as follows:
"After some time, he admits that through an Internet resource where he listened to sermons, recruiters contacted him and offered to commit mass murder for 500 thousand rubles. Half was transferred in advance to the card, the rest was promised after completing the task. They also provided weapons. Who exactly it was is still unknown. According to the terrorist, he flew to Russia from Turkey on March 4."
Meanwhile, another suspect said that he met a man named "Abdullah" on Telegram, after which he was offered a job.
"We went to Dmitrovskoe Highway and bought a car from the relatives of a new friend. We are probably talking about the same Renault vehicle," the suspect is quoted as saying.
The suspects have since been taken for questioning by the Investigative Committee.
According to the Russian intelligence services, known as the FSB, the suspects have contacts in Ukraine and intended to cross the border where the Ukrainian authorities had opened a window for the attackers to escape into the warring country.
The FSB says the attack was carefully planned, with a cache of weapons that were hidden for the attackers to use.
Russian authorities have since detained a total of 11 suspects, four of whom have been shot by Russian forces.
According to some Russian reports, at least some of the attackers were natives of Tajikistan, however the authorities have not confirmed this information and asked that journalists "refrain from disseminating unverified and unreliable information."
The death toll in the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack rose today to 137 people killed, while another 180 were injured in the attack.

So, we have some new (still not confirmed) info about yesterday events in Poland.
USA says that it's unlikely that missile was shot from Russian territory. NATO military aircraft tracked missile's air trajectory. It's confidential and public won't be informed yet.
Anonymous officials from USA said that it may be Ukrainian air defense missile. As we know, yesterday Russia shelled Ukrainian cities - another terror bombing on civilians and critical infrastructure.
One Polish military also said about Ukrainian air defense missile - it supposed be shot in defense during Russian terror bombing on Ukrainian cities. Lviv is located really close to Polish border, and this city also was a target of Russian bombing.
Okay, in the end it doesn't matter if it was fired by hostile county or by ally country, because NATO still must react!
We must reminding them about Article 5.
And no, it's not call to arms, it's not wish to escalate the war.
It's reminding about alliance.
It's about showing the hostile countries that NATO is united and ready to protect its members.
It's because Poland remembers what happened in 1939, and how we were treated by so called allied countries, by Western Europe.

As many of my dear people here read previously, it is a war in my country. Russia attacked Ukraine and it’s 54th day of full scale invasion, with killings of civilians, raping, torturing, bombing cities... Oh, you already know that, right? 
One thing that occurred to me, though, it’s the fact that the majority of foreigners doesn’t know that Russia done this things for centuries with the neighbouring countries, Ukraine included. Russian imperialism and chauvinism should be recognised in the West. 
Because we’re tired of phrases like “you should reconcile, you’re brothers”. Good of you to tell that my brother is the one who kills my family, yes. Or “war and hatred leads to more war”. Well, if we put down our weapons we’ll be just mercilessly killed just for being Ukrainians and wanting to be independent. Not to mention all of that official Russian news reporters, openly telling that there should be no Ukraine what so ever. Thus no Ukrainians, they should destroy our culture and wipe out our language. And yes, it’s ALL Russian. The majority of population supports this war and other wars. Population of Russia was silent for years, while their country had wars in Georgia, Moldova, Armenia, Ukraine, Syria, thus supporting it. And should hold full responsibility for it.
There a lot of good articles from Ukrainians. Let’s start with this short one with quotes of real russians and their attitude towards Ukrainian women.

US has not shared data on terrorist attack at Crocus with Russia to avoid revealing its sources
US intelligence agencies did not share all information with Moscow about preparations for a terrorist attack in Russia because of fears that Russian authorities might recognise US sources and their intelligence methods, The New York Times reports.
The CIA relayed the warning to Russia a day before the American embassy in Moscow issued its warning about a possible terrorist attack. The message mentioned an additional detail – an IS offshoot known as Wilayat Khorasan is involved in the attack.
However, Vladimir Putin called the warning “outright blackmail” and attempts to “intimidate and destabilise society”. Aleksandr Bortnikov, director of the Federal Security Service (FSB), emphasised in public comments on Tuesday that the information provided by the US was “of a general nature”. He said:
We reacted to this information, of course, and took appropriate measures.
Bortnikov noted that the actions taken by the FSB to investigate this information did not confirm it.
One of the reasons for the FSB’s failure in preventing the terrorist attack at Crocus was the high level of distrust both within the agency itself and in its interaction with intelligence agencies of other countries.
