Ukraine openly refused to implement a peace deal with rebels from the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics so Russia had no option but to use military force to defend the people living there, Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed on Tuesday.

President Volodymyr Zelensky and other Kiev senior officials had "declared that the Minsk agreements cannot be implemented," Putin recalled, referring to the roadmap to peace in Ukraine brokered by Russia, Germany and France.

The 2014 and 2015 deals detailed how Kiev could reintegrate its breakaway regions by offering them a general amnesty, greater autonomy, and representation in the government. The Ukrainian government stalled progress on their implementation, claiming that it could only proceed with its side of the bargain after retaking control of the rebel-held areas.

Comment: It's telling that numerous world powers, including India, Pakistan, the UAE, and China, have independently and overtly signaled their alliance with Russia, meanwhile the West has had to resort to coercion and meddling in its attempts to maintain a modicum of control over its 'partners': Also check out SOTT radio's: NewsReal: Kramatorsk False-Flag - Ukraine EU Delusion - Khan Ousted in Pakistan

Scott Ritter: Was the US involved in Pakistani PM's departure, as he claims?

To claim Imran Khan's downfall was solely American doing is to ignore reality. But so is to claim the US had nothing to do with it.

In the aftermath of an off-the-cuff remark made by US President Joe Biden about Russian President Vladimir Putin ("For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power!") which many believed articulated a policy of regime change, Secretary of State Antony Blinken was compelled to issue a public clarification. "We do not," Blinken told reporters, "have a strategy of regime change in Russia or anywhere else for that matter."

Tell that to the supporters of Pakistan's former Prime Minister, Imran Khan, who this past weekend was removed from power after a vote of no confidence in the Pakistani Parliament which many believe was orchestrated by the United States, who had grown increasingly wary of the former cricket star's criticism of US policy in the region and the world.

Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko has accused the United Kingdom for the Bucha massacre. Lukashenko made the remarks in the joint press conference.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko on Tuesday levelled accusations against the United Kingdom over the massacre in Ukraine's Bucha last week. He called the slayings of civilians in Ukraine's Bucha a "British special operation," Nexta TV reported. Speaking at a news conference after talks with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, Lukashenko claimed that Russia's Federal Service could provide proof regarding the allegation.

Ukraine investigating reports of chemical weapons attack, Russia rejects accusations

Defense Minister Hanna Malyar
Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyar said military authorities were investigating indications that phosphorous munitions might have been used in Mariupol.
Ukraine said it was checking reports that Russia may have used chemical weapons amid heavy fighting in the port city of Mariupol as the United Kingdom warned of a "response" if the information is proven to be true.

Russia has denied the accusations, which follow serious warnings from Western countries of the potential use of a chemical or nuclear weapon in the Ukraine war.

Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyar said military authorities were investigating claims in Mariupol that an unspecified number of people were suffering respiratory and neurological illnesses after a drone attack.

"There is a theory that these could be phosphorous munitions," Malyar said in a television interview on April 12 that adding: "Official information will come later."

Comment: They've been harping about chemical weapons since the start of the war and can bet if they do play that card, it will likely be exposed as yet another false flag (as we've seen before with Syria). See also:

Bucha, Budapest and the multiplying problems of real war criminals

Fungal President Joe Biden openly declared Russian President Vladimir Putin a "war criminal" in a recent outburst while speaking at NATO. He's repeated this in the wake of the initial images coming out of the town of Bucha, Ukraine where an alleged massacre of civilians by Russian soldiers took place.

Like many incidents similar to this in the past it is hard to take any of these claims of blame seriously. The US and UK have staged many a 'false flag' operation in the past at convenient times to gin up diplomatic outrage to advance a particular political agenda.

That agenda is always to justify more war to deal with the villain du jour. Today it's Putin. In the past it's been Saddam Hussein, Slobodan Milosevic or Bashar al-Assad. The playbook is always the same. Shocking images and film of honest-to-god atrocities against civilians and an endless back and forth of accusations and suppression of real information about the event.

Sadly, that becomes the focus not the fact that civilians were murdered for political gains.

Comment: The deeply disliked and unpopular Macron will likely beat LePen through the vote-rigging apparatus that got him elected the first time.

What Is The "Great Reset" And What Do The Globalists Actually Want?

Davos sign
I first heard the phrase "Great Reset" way back in 2014. Christine Lagarde, who was head of the IMF at the time, was suddenly becoming very vocal about global centralization. It was an agenda that was generally only whispered about in the dark corners of institutional white papers and the secretive meetings of banking elites, but now these people were becoming rather loud about it.

Lagarde was doing a Q&A at the World Economic Forum and the notion of the "Reset" was very deliberately brought up; what the project entailed was vague, but the basic root of it was a dramatic shift away from the current economic, social and political models of the world into a globally centralized and integrated system - A "New World Order," if you will...

It's important to remember that we had just jumped through the fires of an international credit collapse which started in 2008 and had continued to cause uncertainty in markets for years. The central banks had dumped tens of trillions of dollars worth of stimulus into the system just to keep it on life support. Some of us in the alternative media believed that these actions were not meant to save the economy, only zombify the economy through currency devaluation and inflation. Not long down the road, this zombie creation would turn on us and try to eat us alive, and only the central bankers new exactly when this would occur.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has instructed the government on measures for social and economic support of the nation in the face of Western sanctions. The presidential order was published on Monday on the Kremlin website.

The Cabinet of Ministers is expected to make a number of amendments to laws to increase the availability of social support measures. So, before April 30, amendments should be made to ensure an increase in the availability of support measures for families with children, whose income has decreased significantly after March 1.

The government has also been instructed to establish, by the end of the year, a special procedure for assessing the needs of families that have been affected by job losses. In addition, the Cabinet will have to ensure a reduction of poverty in the country in 2022, while at the same time reducing income inequality. The government will report by June 15 to the president on the work done towards this and, after that, quarterly.

The weapons industry sees the war in Ukraine as a goldmine

Arms companies are exploiting Russia's invasion to push a military spending frenzy.

Since the pandemic began in early 2020, the weapons industry has argued that shutdowns and supply chain disruptions have put the ​"defense industrial base" in peril, compromising the national security and military ​"readiness" of the United States.

Now, that same industry is using Russia's invasion of Ukraine and NATO's subsequent military buildup to double down on the argument, demanding rapid, public investments in the weapons industry to bolster the capacity of the United States and NATO for ​"deterrence."

This new push, showcased by the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA), shines a light on the ways weapons companies exploit crises to protect current and future profits.

The NDIA counts among its members some of the biggest weapons manufacturers in the world, including Raytheon and Lockheed Martin. On March 25, Thomas Low, an NDIA junior fellow, published a piece in National Defense which argues that, to ​"adequately remain vigilant" against a possible widening conflict with Russia, ​"the United States in its own right needs to take the steps necessary to prepare its defense industrial base."

Comment: Wars without end, Amen.

How the Biden administration is aiding and abetting the biggest border fraud in US history

The Biden administration will soon remove the last serious speed bump to an open border, opening the floodgates to mass asylum fraud.

America was already weathering the greatest border crisis in recorded history when President Joe Biden's administration announced the last day of the Covid-related public health order Title 42 will be May 23. That's the pandemic containment U.S. Code that, since President Donald Trump invoked it in March 2020, has been used to deny illegal border jumpers access to the American asylum system while bouncing them back to Mexico.

Biden started the crisis on Inauguration Day with his first executive orders and by cutting out major exemptions in Title 42 for illegal migrant families and minors. What was left of it posed the last serious speed bump to an unimpeded open border. The Biden government has publicly admitted that something bad will happen at the southwest border:
An estimated 12,000 to 18,000 migrant apprehensions a day (versus the record-breaking 6,000 average now), or up to 540,000 a month (170,000 a month lately), and maybe six million by the end of 2022 (compared to the nationally historic two million apprehensions at the end of 2021).
A Washington Post headline craftily understated that Biden's Department of Homeland Security was bracing for "unprecedented strains."

No one seems to be asking why as some 540,000 illegal migrants per month will soon be jumping the borders in all the front-line states. The overlooked real reason they will come is to defraud an American asylum system that Title 42 denied them but will now be returned, more prone than ever to abuse.

Kushner's PE firm secured $2B from Saudi Arabia despite objections he was too inexperienced to manage money

Jared Kushner secured a $2 billion investment for his private equity firm from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund last summer, The New York Times reported. Kushner set up Affinity Partners in July following his departure from the White House, where he served as a senior advisor to his father-in-law, President Donald Trump.

Reports have since detailed how Kushner has traveled the Middle East trying to drum up investment, with mixed success. Though said to have been rebuffed by Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, Kushner secured a $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund in July, The Times reported.

However, citing an internal document dated June 30, an internal PIF panel tasked with assessing the feasibility of investment was reluctant to support Kushner's fund, citing his lack of experience. The group also flagged that its background check found that Affinity Partners was "unsatisfactory in all aspects" and that there were "public relations risks" given Kushner was a former senior adviser to Trump.

But the panel was overruled by the board of the PIF, The Times reported. The chairman of the board is Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the country's de facto leader who has formed a close bond with Kushner since 2017. The PIF and Kushner Companies, the Kushner family firm, did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
