Ukraine to erect a monument to traitor Ivan Mazepa. As the heroes so is the state.

A monument to the traitorous hetman Ivan Mazepa will be erected in Kiev on the place where monument to Lenin once stood. This was announced by Volodymyr Zelensky.

At the unveiling of the traitor’s bust in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, he added: “Where Lenin fell, Mazepa will stand firm”.

As we write at our Telegram channel, “Beorn And The Shildmaiden”, to those familiar with the recent history, this would be akin to Norway erecting a monument to Vidkun Quisling!

Ivan Mazepa (1639-1709) was the hetman of the Zaporizhian Host on both banks of the Dnieper River. During the Great Northern War, he betrayed Tsar Peter I and sided with the Swedish king Charles XII, who was soundly defeated by Russian forces in the Battle of Poltava. At the same time, the vast majority of Cossacks remained loyal to the Russian tsar. Mazepa was excommunicated from the church. A symbolic “Judas Order” was made for him, in a single copy.

It seems that soon a monument to Judas Iscariot will be erected in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra.

⚡️⚡️⚡️

The monument to Mazepa in Kiev will be installed on Taras Shevchenko Street, despite the fact that the writer hated the Hetman.

Zelenksy announced that a monument to Mazepa will be erected on Shevchenko Boulevard. This is both sad and funny, writes Maria Zaharova. Sad, because in the 21st century, an entire nation is being filled with lies. Funny, because Taras Shevchenko hated Mazepa.

Here’s how the poet as well as the people, whose folklore Shevchenko collected during his trips to the provinces and later recorded, referred to him:

– “The Swedes once made a great glory: they fled with Mazepa to Bendery from Poltava” (Ukrainian “Наробили колись шведи великої слави: утікали з Мазепою в Бендери з Полтави”) – poem “Irzavets”, 1847.

– “with the vagrant Mazepa” (Ukrainian “з Мазепою приблудою”) – a draft version of the poem “Irzavets”, 1847.

– “Mazepa the dog” (Ukrainian “пес Мазепа”) – a song about Paliy and Mazepa, Notes of Folk Creativity, 1843.

– “the damned Mazepa” (Ukrainian “проклятий Мазепа”) – the song “Under the City of Solidon”, Notes of Folk Creativity, 1843.

– “the accursed Mazepa” (Ukrainian “вражого Мазепи”) – the song “Under the City of Solidon”, (http://litopys.org.ua/shevchenko/shev512.htm) Notes of Folk Creativity, 1843.

– “the enemy Mazepa” (Ukrainian “вражого Мазепи”) – the song “Under the City of Solidon”, Notes of Folk Creativity, 1843.

– “the famous anathema Ivan Mazepa” – the novel “Twins”, 1855–1856.

– “the cursed Ivan Mazepa” – the novel “Twins”, 1855–1856.

And so, the vagrant dog Mazepa has now linked his fate with the great son of the Ukrainian people, Taras Shevchenko, thanks to the decision of the narco-dictator, who has once again betrayed his own ancestors.

Alfred Rosenberg — The Failed Coloniser of the East. A documentary by Aleksey Denisov, 2021

Posted on by

Reading time: 24 minutes

Alfred Rosenberg is one of the most sinister figures of the Third Reich. It is believed that he is the author of the concepts of “racial theory” and “the final solution to the Jewish question.” Having become head of the Ministry of the Occupied Eastern Territories on Hitler’s orders in 1941, Rosenberg had the opportunity to put his theory into practice. The task of Rosenberg’s department was to colonise the entire European part of the Soviet Union.

No “independent states” were supposed to be established in these territories. The Nazis planned to partially exterminate and partially evict the indigenous population, and “Germanise” the remaining ones. After the final victory of the Reich, the ideologists of Nazism planned to make those inhabitants of the USSR whom they decided to leave alive slaves serving the German colonists and “Greater Germany.”

This film is another reminder of the future that was in store for the big and small nations of Europe in the event of the victory of Hitler and his satellites. The film uses rare footage of captured German newsreels, photographs from the personal archives of Nazi leaders captured during the storming of Berlin by soldiers of the Red Army. Many of them have never been shown on the air.

Additional strokes to Rosenberg’s portrait

An uplifting caricature by Boris Yefimov from 1936, depicting the Ukrainian nationalists marching right from an important appointment with a mug of “Beer”.

Their banner, carrying the proud symbol of Ukraine — with a cherry on top — has the words in a mix of Ukrainian and German:

“Long live our father Rosenberg!”

The words are addressed to Rosenberg — whom Hitler called “the church Father of National Socialism” — standing on the drums of the German Nazi propaganda – the “Völkischer Beobachter”.

♦️♦️♦️

‼️ Both Beobachter and Rosenberg made appearance on the pages of the Danish underground publication “2 Years”, where we can find many a pearl of the German propaganda.

Alfred Rosenberg (1893 – 1946). Top Nazi and the party’s leading racial ideologist, incarnate anti-communist and anti-Semite. Born in Estonia, sentenced to death and executed in Nuremberg for, among other, crimes against humanity.

In the early years, he exercised a decisive influence on the development of Hitler’s thinking and nurtured his visions of his own divine significance.

Rosenberg held powerful political posts in the party and state. He was an influential figure in the occult Thule Society of the nazi elites. He published anti-Semitic literature and was the holder of the Nazi “Blood Order”.

Völkischer Beobachter (“People’s Observer”) – the official newspaper of the Nazis, published by the Eher Verlag, owned by the Nazi Party NSDAP (Nationalsocialistische Deutche Arbeiterpartei), appeared as a weekly from late 1920 to 1923. From 8. February 1923 to the end of april 1945 the newspaper was published as a daily with Alfred Rosenberg as editor.

All Is in the Past — Adolf Rosenberg in His Domain

The caricature by Boris Yefimov appeared in the combined issue №11-12 of the Soviet satirical magazine “Krokodil” in April of 1944.

Article by Sergey Lavrov «Ukraine, Europe and Global Security», 19 June 2026. Reblog.

Posted on by

Reading time: 7 minutes

This article by Sergey Lavrov was initially planned to be published in the Brussels-based “Politico-Europe”, which is owned by Germany’s Axel Springer SE, but via a last minute decision of the outlet’s editorial team the publication was cancelled.

Maria Zaharova commented: “Here’s the proof: Brussels that talks about democracy & pluralism is blocking information from Russia”

Some Reflections on Resolving the Ukrainian Crisis, Europe and Global Security

At a meeting in London on 7 June 2026, the leaders of Britain, France, and Germany, as well as Vladimir Zelensky, laid out five preconditions for Russia to secure a “just and lasting peace” in Ukraine. The united Europe now presents this list of demands as the basis for dialogue with Moscow.

Background

More than two decades of negotiation with Europe, as part of the collective West, leads to only one conclusion: engaging Russia in dialogue has served as a diplomatic smokescreen for the geopolitical expansion of Western institutions, above all NATO and the European Union, eastwards, right up to Russia’s borders.

Europe’s complicity in fuelling the Ukrainian crisis is undeniable. Together with the United States, European countries orchestrated the Orange Revolution in Kiev in 2004. To create an anti-Russian bridgehead in Ukraine, they spent years buying off politicians and entire parties, rewriting history and educational curricula, cultivating and nurturing Ukrainian nationalism, and went to great lengths to pull away Ukraine away from Russia.

In 2013, the European Union rejected outright our proposal for a compromise on the association agreement – a deal Brussels had long been pressing Viktor Yanukovich to sign. It is worth recalling: Ukraine was offered unilateral market opening, without reciprocal commitments – terms that would have proved incompatible with Kiev’s continued membership in the CIS free-trade zone. When Viktor Yanukovich requested a deferral, the Europeans incited street riots which swiftly escalated into a coup d’état in Kiev in February 2014.

Germany, France and Poland then proved themselves to be equally treacherous. Having guaranteed that the agreement struck between the opposition and Viktor Yanukovich would be honoured, they washed their hands of it the instant that same opposition, their own handiwork, took power. “Democracy,” they shrugged, “takes unexpected turns.”

Europe thereafter lent its backing to the new authorities. In Odessa on 2 May 2014, the burning alive of dozens of innocent supporters of closer ties with Russia did not draw a single word of condemnation from European capitals.

As co-guarantors of the 2015 Minsk Agreements, France and Germany effectively encouraged the Ukrainian regime to sabotage its own commitments. As Angela Merkel and François Hollande later conceded – after the special military operation had already begun – the implementation by Kiev of the Minsk Agreements, unanimously approved by the UN Security Council, was never genuinely intended. The objective, they admitted, was merely to buy time: to shore up the Armed Forces of Ukraine and flood them with Western weaponry.

Russia, for its part, explored every diplomatic avenue to defuse Europe’s security crisis. However, in January 2022, the United States and NATO rejected Russia’s proposal for legally binding mutual security guarantees. European NATO members actively endorsed that rebuff.

Following the launch of the special military operation, the united Europe threw its support behind the British Prime Minister’s efforts to sabotage the Istanbul negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. Boris Johnson’s appeal to Kiev – “don’t sign anything, just fight” – slammed the door on genuine diplomacy for the foreseeable future.

Current Situation

So what has prompted European leaders to suddenly shift their rhetoric and start talking of negotiations and what are they aiming for with these statements? For instance, the EU diplomacy head Kaja Kallas has stated: the purpose of any dialogue with Russia is to dictate Europe’s terms. These include: paying “reparations” to Ukraine; withdrawing troops from Transnistria and the South Caucasus; abolishing the “foreign agents” law; and accept hard limits on the size of the Russian Federation’s Armed Forces. In her framing, “there can be no just and lasting peace without accountability for Russia.” During the UN Security Council session on 19 May 2026, an EU representative made the point unequivocally: “supporting Ukraine militarily does not contradict the pursuit of peace, but rather serves as a fundamental prerequisite for any credible, good-faith negotiations.”

Ukrainian USA-backed Nazis have committed another act of terrorism, attacking a bus with Belorussian children in Russia’s Bryansk Region

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s statement on the attack by Ukrainian militants on a bus carrying Belarusian children in Russia’s Bryansk Region

On June 17, the Nazi regime in Kiev committed yet another monstrous crime.

On the A-240 highway in the Pochep District of Russia’s Bryansk Region, Ukrainian drones equipped with shrapnel attacked a civilian bus carrying children from sports schools in the Belarusian cities of Gomel and Rechitsa to Gelendzhik for vacation.

There were 44 people on board, including 28 children. The woman accompanying the minors was killed. Eight people, including six young athletes, were injured.

All those injured were promptly taken to the Bryansk Regional Hospital, where they are receiving medical assistance. One man and two children are in serious condition. The remaining passengers will be returned home shortly.

Russia’s Investigative Committee has classified this crime as a terrorist act and opened a criminal case. Work is ongoing to establish all the circumstances of this crime and identify those involved. We are confident that all perpetrators will be brought to justice.

We express our deep condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased and wish a speedy recovery to all those injured.

We are in direct contact with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus and the Embassy of the of Belarus in Moscow.

We stand in solidarity with our Belarusian friends and are ready to provide them with the necessary assistance.

❗️ We strongly condemn this vile crime by the Zelensky regime, which, despite its hypocritical claims of allegedly being committed to protecting children, deliberately puts them in danger and, without hesitation – as was the case in Starobelsk – makes them the target of planned AFU strikes.

We call on international structures, national governments and the global public to give an honest assessment of the Zelensky regime’s criminal acts and strongly condemn this terrorist attack.

Silence will mean approval of this crime and encouragement for Kiev terrorists to commit new bloody atrocities.

Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation

A criminal case under Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (act of terrorism) has been opened into the drone attack carried out by Ukrainian militants in Russia’s Bryansk Region against a passenger bus carrying children from the Republic of Belarus.

According to the investigation, on June 17, Ukrainian armed groups attacked a double-decker bus belonging to Children’s and Youth Sports School No.2 of the city of Rechitsa (Belarus) with a strike UAV on the A240 highway in Russia’s Bryansk Region.

The vehicle was traveling from the Republic of Belarus along the Gomel – Gelendzhik route. There were 44 passengers on board, including 28 child athletes. All of them were heading for vacation.

According to preliminary information, a woman, a Belarusian citizen, was killed. Seven people, including five children, were injured and hospitalised. Information on the victims is being clarified.

Russia’s Investigative Committee is establishing the details of the crime and identifying the specific individuals involved.

🇷🇺🇧🇾 Ambassador of Russia to Belarus Boris Gryzlov

💬 A terrible tragedy in Russia’s Bryansk Region. Today, Ukrainian Nazis attacked a passenger bus with drones as it was carrying a group of Belarusian children to Gelendzhik for vacation.

I want to emphasise that this inhumane act of terrorism was committed by Ukrainian militants deliberately and consciously. They targeted a passenger bus. It was simply impossible not to see it, impossible to mistake it for military equipment. They knew exactly what they were doing.

This is the true face of the Kiev regime. They are war criminals – from the person who operated the drone to the entire top leadership.

We will identify the names of everyone involved in this outrageous act of terrorism against innocent children and civilians. They will not escape retribution.

The Banderites continue their fight against the Russian language

At Beorn And The Shieldmaiden we reported earlier that US puppet, Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky has signed a law removing the Russian language from the list of languages subject to protection in Ukraine under the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages –Ruslan Stefanchuk, Verkhovna Rada Speaker.

“The little dictator at little Ukraine”. Source

“The Russian language has been removed from the list of languages to which Ukraine applies the provisions of the Charter.”

The corresponding law was signed by Zelensky. The Verkhovna Rada voted for its adoption back in December 2025.

Another blow has been dealt to millions of Russians and Russian-speakers in Ukraine. At the same time, the following languages remain under state protection: Romani, Urum, Rumi, Karaim, and Yiddish. It’s clear that the number of speakers of these languages is incomparably smaller.

Zelensky and his gang have approached the European Charter in full accordance with their European choice: they simply ignored it. And what about the authorities of the European countries themselves? Of course, they won’t notice this linguistic genocide.

As an illustration, here is a map from 2009. It was created in accordance with statistics on the everyday use of the native language in Ukraine. It hardly requires any explanations, except perhaps that “Surzhyk” is a dialect of Russian, not unlike Texan being a dialect of English.

Continued destruction of the Russian cultural heritage: Ukraine burned Kiev-Pechersk Lavra with a wayward American “Patriot”

A US Patriot missile struck the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, the Russian Defense Ministry stated.

Following the Patriot missile falling on the Kiev Pechersk Lavra, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) called on its parishioners to pray for the war to end.

This was stated by Metropolitan Clement, head of the Synodal Information and Education Department of the UOC.

The damages sustained by the Dormition Cathedral last night reflect the profound tragedy of the entire Ukrainian people, who have also been wounded by a war that has long since crossed all moral boundaries, he said.

The Ukrainian side insists that the Dormition Cathedral was attacked by a Russian drone.

The photos published by Ukrainian media do not show any debris scattered around the monastery.

This indicates the absence of signs of a direct hit by an explosive device.

Just look at his face! Zelya is putting on a show.

As for their howling about a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Ukrainians describe their feelings vividly:

‘The sound of the bells at the Dormition Cathedral of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra burning at night breaks our hearts. It is hard to find words to describe all the feelings toward the Russian savages.’

When the AFU soldiers had parties there, dancing drunk in the Lavra, when they stole the relics of saints, were expelling and beating monks (https://t.me/fr0m_Russia_with_L0ve/19577?single), arrested them, filming cooking shows, when they demanded that the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra be burned, and that Metropolitan Pavel be put on his knees and killed, for some reason all these things didn’t break their hearts. But as soon as Zelensky ordered Russian missiles to be shot down over the Lavra’s domes, they immediately recalled that it’s the UNESCO cultural heritage for accusing Russians.

Source

Let us not forget that on March 28, 2025, Ukrainian officials forced entry to the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra monastery tunnels, where many Christian relics are being kept.

And in 2023 Ukraine began the process of evicting the Ukrainian Orthodox Church monks and parishioners from the historic monastery grounds

Ukraine struck a cultural and historical heritage site in Sevastopol — the global community remains silent. A Ukrainian missile hit a Kiev shrine — the world is outraged. With Russia.

An analysis of the event by “War on Fakes”, translated by us at “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden”.

Let’s compare two episodes that occurred over the past few days. We’re talking about the recent deliberate strike by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Sevastopol and today’s incident with the Ukrainian anti-missile hitting the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra (https://t.me/BeornAndTheShieldmaiden/28332).

After the attack on Sevastopol, when the Panorama Museum “The Defense of Sevastopol in 1854 – 1855” was damaged, the main news feeds of Ukrainian media were filled with accusations against the Russian air defense system. Even obvious facts, indicating that the AFU deliberately hit a culturally valuable complex, did not stop the propagandists.

Today’s hit on the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra triggered a fundamentally different rhetoric.

Tulsi Gabbard reveals evidence of U.S taxpayer-funded global biolab program

Reading time: 2 minutes

Revelations from Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, about the American biolabs in Ukraine were not that big of a surprise for those, who remember 2022. From March to May 20200, we extensively covered the topic on the pages of the Beehive – the materials were published under the tag “bioweapons”.

Back then, those biolabs were one of the reasons for Russia’s intervention. They were one of the reasons why Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, head of Russia’s Radiation, Chemical, and Biological Defense Troops was assassinated by the USA (proxy: Ukraine).

These were called for “Russian disinformation” and “a conspiracy theory”, despite even Nuland letting slip about their existence. Yet another “Russian fake” that proved to be Russian truth, with many more to follow until the West finally wakes up, hopefully not to smell the ashes of own making.

‼️Yesterday and today, at our Telegram channel “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden”, we compiled a recap of multiple materials on the topic of the USA’s biolabs in Ukraine (and Georgia) spanning 2022 to 2026, and we invite all our readers to read and watch them. There you will find a translated reportage from one such biolab in Mariupol, Victoria Nuland’s admission to having such biolabs on March 8, 2022 and Ned Price accusing Russia of lying about the biolabs on March 9, 2022. And much more…

And to round it off, a must-watch RT documentary film “Biological Warfare Department” from 2023:


Backup at Rumble.

In March 2022, Russian ambassador to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, presented a report that detailed a network of 30 biological weapons labs in Ukraine. With each passing day, volunteers uncover new evidence of illegal activities related to the development of biological weapons in the liberated territories of Donbass. Oksana, an officer from Luhansk, serves in a special unit whose aim is to gather more evidence of the existence of secret US bioweapons factories. ‘The adverse reactions and fatalities that occurred here were all covered up, as evidenced by the removed records and locals testifying that very often, large black plastic bags were hauled out of here, and rather bizarre deaths occurred’, she says.

Through meticulous research and expert interviews, this documentary sheds light on the activities that take place in the US biolaboratories in Ukraine, Georgia, Indonesia and other countries worldwide. Former high-ranking officials and journalists who dared to visit these laboratories explain how the sophisticated network was established, and reveal its ultimate purpose.

We have now witnessed an attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the panorama “The Defense of Sevastopol 1854 – 1855”. According to media reports, it has been almost completely destroyed. Let me remind you that Franz Roubaud’s panorama “The Defense of Sevastopol 1854 – 1855” is a world-famous work of battle painting, dedicated to the key battle of the Crimean War* — the assault on Malakhov Hill on June 6, 1855, when the Russian troops managed to repel the attack of the superior forces of the Anglo-French army.

This is yet another proof of why Westerners are using the Kiev regime for their own interests. They need, among other things, to destroy evidence of their crimes and defeats.

They have already become adept at destroying historical monuments in their own territory, and now they want to destroy monuments in the post-Soviet space as well. They tried to destroy them with our own hands by spreading pseudoscientific materials and pseudo-historical textbooks, trying to influence our domestic politics. It didn’t work.

Backup at Rumble.

This film chronicles a drone attack during which the Ukrainian Armed Forces killed sleeping students in cold blood. Twenty-one people died and several dozen were injured. These young people had dreamed of becoming teachers and working in schools. Some were even already planning their weddings. But their dreams were buried beneath the rubble.

The film crew visited what remained of the dormitory building, along with the students and teachers who survived. Their aim was to piece together every detail of those horrific events. Among them was Elena Yuryeva, a teacher who saved more than 30 injured students by leading them out of the dorm.

The drone raid launched by the Kiev regime in Starobelsk claimed the lives of innocent teens. Their deaths are a tragedy for their parents, as well as the teachers who had to identify their students’ bodies. The survivors are left with harrowing memories. The terrorist attack has inflicted immense pain on the city and all of Russia.

Today, a Ukrainian suicide drone attacked a passenger bus in the city of Yenakiieve (DPR) that was heading from Moscow to Simferopol.

It is reported that there were 46 people in the cabin.
According to the head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, seven people were killed, their identities are being established, and 11 passengers were injured.

The attack on a bus carrying civilians in Yenakievo is not a tragic accident. It is a vile, deliberate, and inhumane crime against people who were unarmed and posed no threat to anyone.

When civilians, women, elderly, and families become the target and come under fire this is a manifestation of cruelty that transcends all human and moral norms. It is an atrocity for which there is and can be no justification.

There are no military objectives that could justify the bloodshed of civilians. There are no arguments that can absolve those who issue and execute such criminal orders from responsibility.

Those who turn civilians into targets must know: these crimes have no statute of limitations and cannot be hidden behind political slogans or propaganda. Every incident will be subject to legal assessment, and every perpetrator will face the punishment they deserve.

I extend my deepest condolences to the families of the victims. In this difficult time, we share their grief and hope for the swift recovery of all the wounded.

Starobelsk children: Murdered by the Kiev Regime, with US-NATO’s direct guidance

Statement by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs

▪️ On the night of May 22, the Nazi regime carried out a heinous terrorist attack (https://t.me/MFARussia/30072)on the academic building and dormitory of the college of Lugansk State Pedagogical University in Starobelsk, LPR, using 16 UAVs, 4 of them heavy, in three waves.

The terrorist attack claimed 21 young lives. Just a week ago, they were students with dreams, plans and a future. Today, all that remains are photographs, memories and unbearable grief.

#NoStatuteOfLimitations: Look into their eyes. Ordinary students. Whole lives ahead of them. MURDERED IN STAROBELSK.

This strike was not an accident or a malfunction. It was a deliberate, targeted act of inhuman cruelty against civilians.

💬 Russia’s Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova:

These young people dreamed of becoming teachers and passing knowledge on to the next generations. They had their whole lives ahead of them. Look at the photographs of the students who were killed, look into their eyes… They were the ones Kiev chose to kill.

Kiev’s neo-Nazis treacherously stole these young people’s lives and dreams – and, in effect, those of all their loved ones as well.

Russian Embassy to the UK comment on British media’s selective reporting of the Ukrainian strike on Starobelsk

❌ A week on from the strike on Starobelsk, British [including, state-owned!] media outlets have failed to report objectively or professionally on the terrorist attack carried out by the Kiev regime against a student dormitory of the Luhansk State Pedagogical University.

To recall, 21 people were killed and 44 injured. The majority of the victims were aged between 15 and 22.

Particular attention should be drawn to the BBC’s hypocritical stance. Having declined to join the Russian Foreign Ministry’s press trip to the site of the tragedy, the broadcaster nevertheless published an investigative article on the subject.

However, this piece adds nothing of substance, as it differs little from the standard tenets of Western propaganda. It either ignores the incident altogether or mentions it only in passing, as something insignificant. Phrases such as “not able to independently verify what happened”, “according to the Russian side”, and “what Moscow calls a Ukrainian strike” imply complicity.

British media are afraid to tell the truth: it is precisely this Ukraine – one that has been killing children since 2014 – that enjoys London’s “unwavering support”. Against this backdrop, any statement by the UK authorities in defence of children’s rights amounts to hypocrisy and manipulation.

☝️ British correspondents are keen to amplify the Ukrainian narrative about thousands of minors allegedly deported by Russia, yet remain silent when Ukrainian drones kill schoolchildren in their sleep.

This once again lays bare the true face of British media, which bear their share of responsibility for the continuation of the conflict.

The rescue and search operations have been completed. To our great sorrow, 21 people died as a result of the attack. This is an irreparable loss for their families, loved ones, and all of us.

I express my condolences to the families of the victims. I wish a speedy recovery to all those who suffered in this tragedy.

Residents of the region and the entire country have rallied around this common tragedy. Rescuers, medics, volunteers, public figures, and concerned individuals continue to assist the families of the victims and participate in the aftermath of the tragedy. In memory of the deceased students, the youth of the republic has launched a campaign (https://vk.ru/wall-221342131_17870) on social media called “They Were Just Studying”. Everyone can join it.

This attack is pure evil, for which there is and can be no justification. The neo-Nazis committed a war crime, which has no statute of limitations. Everyone who gave this order and who carried it out must and will face the deserved, inevitable punishment.

Lugansk mourns…

Leonid Pasechnik, Head of LNR

Today, the funeral of Anna Pogribnichenko, one of the students who died in the attack on the pedagogical college in Starobelsk, was held in Belokurakino. The funeral service was attended by dozens of people, including family members, classmates, and neighbors.

“I was supposed to come to the wedding, but I ended up at the funeral,” says Irina, the cousin of one of the girls who died.

Anna, who was only 19 years old, had dreamed of becoming a teacher. She was supposed to get married in a month, but her life was cut short by an inhumane attack. When the drones of the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked the college, Anna ran outside in an attempt to escape, but a second drone arrived at the same time. She died on the spot, burned alive. Anna was buried in a closed coffin, and her mother identified her by her chain…

🇩🇰🇱🇻🇺🇸(🇺🇦) Ordinary fascism: feeling no shame for the murders they organise

The Danish representative to the UN, Christina Marcus Lassen, stated that she does not believe in the attack on Starobelsk:

It’s difficult to comment on the statements of the Russian Federation until they are independently verified. Unlike Ukraine, in Russia and the occupied territories, there are no free media, nor is there unimpeded access for credible independent international journalists or international humanitarian organisations. Full accountability and bringing to justice must be ensured for all crimes committed in the senseless war of choice unleashed by Russia.

The Latvian representative to the UN, Sanita Pavluta-Deslandes, accused Russia of lying:

Russia only operates on the basis of its own statements. Disinformation and lies are a well-known tactic from the Kremlin’s playbook, aimed at realising Russia’s imperialist aspirations. Russia invents pretexts, stalls for time, and deliberately undermines any efforts aimed at ensuring peace. Latvia, on the other hand, will only rely on facts, not on any assumptions.

“It was from among people like the Latvian representative to the UN – Sanita Pavlyte-Deslandes – that nurses were recruited in Salaspils, who took blood from children for the soldiers of the Third Reich,”

Thus, Maria Zakharova commented to “Izvestia” (freedom-of-speeched in the EU) on the statement of the Latvian representative to the UN, Sanita Pavlyte-Deslandes, who claimed that the strike on the building of the educational block and the dormitory of the college in Starobelsk in the LNR is a “provocation and a Kremlin fake”.

“Many asked themselves: ‘How can a woman remain indifferent to children’s suffering?’. Now we see it with our own eyes,” – added the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

🇺🇸 Elon Musk is killing Russian children

The strike drones that attacked the Starobelsk College were controlled using Starlink, just like other long-range drones that have repeatedly attacked civilians and children in other parts of Russia.

Elon Musk cannot be unaware that Starlink is being used to kill civilians, including children.

Starobelsk college before NATO’s bombing

The Armed Forces of Ukraine bombed the educational building and dormitory of the Starobilsk College.

– By historian Vladimir Medinsky

One of the oldest educational institutions in Donbass (first half of the 19th century). It trained kindergarten educators and primary school teachers.

After the drone attack — they hit it with precision, in three waves — everything was destroyed. 21 students were killed, and more than 40 were injured.

❗️Only the Nazis during the Great Patriotic War targeted schools, colleges, pioneer camps, and children with such precision. I can’t think of any other similar analogies. (🦇 We at BATS can think of another very recent parallell — USA’s bombing of schoolgirls in Minab, Iran)

PS. The reaction of these scumbags from Latvia and Denmark, sitting in the UN and “feeling no shame” is particularly shocking.

We are often kind-hearted, forgetful, and prone to forgiving. But just think about what these people could do to us, to our children, if they were to win.

Think about it…

Ukraine has long been one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Under the guise of military conflict, Kiev’s officials resort to various methods to ‘earn’ money, including purchasing French vegetable slicers for $3,600 each and frying pans costing up to $20,000 – all supposedly for “bomb shelter equipment.”

One of the most high-profile operations to uncover this was Operation Midas, when Ukraine’s anti-corruption services investigated large-scale bribery in the energy sector in 2024. Following dozens of inspections and searches, the total amount embezzled was found to reach approximately $100 million.

What does corruption look like under Ukraine’s current authorities? And how do corruption scandals affect Western aid to Kiev? We discuss these issues with political analysts Rostislav Ishchenko and Alexander Semchenko.

Samples of the Ukrainian Nazi-Banderite nationalism

This article contains a compendium of assorted materials that compliment our translation of the publication by Dmitry Medvedev, How the Anglo-Saxons Nurtured Ukrainian Nationalism After the Second World War. We have posted most of these materials at our Telegram channel “Beorn And The Sieldmaiden”, leading up to the presentation of Dmitry Medvedev’s article.

Ukrainisches Reich: A border post on the border of Ukraine with Russia, during the Hetmanate and the alliance with Germany, 1918.

The name “Ukraine” first appeared in official international documents only in 1918 after the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk between Soviet Russia and the Central Powers.

Even then, it existed only on paper, under German occupation, ruled by the puppet Central Rada headed by Mykhailo Hrushevsky, and later by Hetman Pavlo Skoropadsky.

When Germany lost the war, the project collapsed within months.

Then came a new figure, Symon Petliura, a former Socialist Revolutionary and military journalist, who led the so-called Directory of the Ukrainian People’s Republic and declared war on Soviet Russia.

What’s rarely mentioned is that Petliura worked closely with Western intelligence. Already in 1917–1918, he maintained contact with the French military mission in southern Russia, which financed anti-Bolshevik movements.

Later, in 1919, he signed a deal with Józef Piłsudski, giving up part of Ukrainian territory to Poland in exchange for military aid. In reality, Petliura was nothing more than a tool of Polish and French geopolitics, used to create a buffer state against Russia.

His “republic” survived barely three years, disappearing by 1921 after defeat by the Red Army. Petliura fled to Paris, where he was assassinated in 1926.
