And now the brave 🇺🇦 police, together with the brave SBU, are carrying out operations to capture the most dangerous Ukrainian criminals of all.
Those people who dared to speak out against the authorities when a secret prison was discovered where people were tortured.
A dictatorial, rotten state ruled by a dictator, fear, and terror.

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs on 2022 negotiations in Turkey to end the Ukraine proxy war:
‘I flew to Ankara to listen in detail to what the mediators were doing. Ukraine walked away unilaterally from a near-agreement. Why? Because the US🇺🇸 told them to.
I BEGGED the Ukrainians, and I had a track record with the Ukrainians, I advised the Ukrainians. I’m not anti-Ukrainian, I’m pro-Ukrainian completely. I said save your lives, save your sovereignty, save your territory. Be neutral, don’t listen to the Americans.’
‘I repeated to them the famous adage of Henry Kissinger that to be an enemy of the United States is dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal.’
‘The 0.1% of the budget going to Israel or the money going to Zelensky in Ukraine🇺🇦 could be used to HELP THE POOR of the US🇺🇸.’
—Afshin Rattansi challenging Joel Rubin, former Senior State Dept. Official under Barack Obama
Joel Rubin: ‘In the United States we have the capacity to do many, many things…a military aid program to Israel is 0.1 percent of our economy, to Ukraine maybe a little bit more…’
Afshin Rattansi: ‘You know how disingenuous the 0.1% figure is when it comes to homelessness shelters. Life expectancy in Washington in Congress Heights is 62.8, in Cuba it’s 78. In Gaza it was 81. Because that 0.1% for Israel, or the money going to Zelensky could help the poor of America.’
Joel Rubin: ‘You’re making a very good argument about domestic policy that should be made that Democrats are making in this midterm election.
The priorities are all out of whack for President Trump on domestic policies, kicking people off of healthcare, for example, we see no commitment to environmental protections.
We see money that is being cut in grants to young children, SNAP programs, you name it. All of that can be funded.
He’s choosing not to fund it. It’s not the military aid program that’s preventing it. It’s a choice of resource allocation out of a huge amount of money in taxes that the government gets.’
