Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By PurpleOtter: Zelensky tells German MPs 'never again' Holocaust slogan is now meaningless Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By PurpleOtter: BERLIN, Germany Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky evoked the Holocaust in his address to Germany's parliament Thursday, telling lawmakers that vows to never let the atrocity be repeated are empty in light of a failure to prevent Russia's invasion of Ukraine. "Every year politicians repeat 'never again,'" the Ukrainian leader said, referring to annual Holocaust commemorations. "And now, we see that these words simply mean nothing. A people is being destroyed in Europe," he said, noting that 108 children had been killed in his country since the start of the Russian offensive. Zelensky stressed that the future of the continent was at stake in the current war and argued that governments across the West were failing to meet the moment. "Help us stop this war," he said. It was always meaningless, given the immediate historical revisionism regarding Soviet atrocities following WW2 and 70+ years following that of marxists excusing genocides of the "right" people. |

A more pointed discussion about the DJI issues in Ukraine. Essentially it sounds like DJI is letting Russia track DJI pilots while that functionality is not allowing Russian operators to be tracked.
https://dronexl.co/2022/03/16/vice-prime-minister-dji-block-dji-drones/ Today, the Ukrainian Vice Prime Minister – Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, Mykhailo Fedoroy sent an open letter to DJI’s Frank Wang, urging the drone maker’s CEO to block the DJI drones that are used by the Russian army to help aim their missiles at Ukrainian military and civilians. The letter was accompanied by a message from the Vice Prime Minister on Twitter. “In 21 days of the war, russian troops has already killed 100 Ukrainian children. they are using DJI products in order to navigate their missile. @DJIGlobal are you sure you want to be a partner in these murders? Block your products that are helping Russia to kill the Ukrainians!” |

"Volatile" much?
New York (CNN Business)Oil prices surged Thursday back above $100 a barrel on renewed concerns about the war in Ukraine disrupting Russia's energy supplies. After sinking below $94 a barrel earlier this week, US crude soared 8% to $102.65 a barrel in afternoon trading. Brent crude spiked 9% to $107 a barrel. The swift rebound in oil prices will be watched closely by leaders in Washington and on Wall Street because high energy prices threaten to exacerbate inflation and slow the economy. Energy traders blamed Thursday's spike on growing pessimism about a resolution between Russia and Ukraine being reached in the near term. |

Hong Kong (CNN Business) China is quietly distancing itself from Russia's sanction-hit economy. The two states proclaimed last month that their friendship had "no limits." That was before Russia launched its war in Ukraine. Now, with Russia's economy being slammed with sanctions from all over the world, there is growing evidence that China's willingness and ability to aid its northern neighbor may be limited. Beijing has refused to condemn Russia's attack on Ukraine but wants to avoid being impacted by the sanctions it has repeatedly denounced as an ineffective way of resolving the crisis. "China is not a party to the [Ukraine] crisis, and doesn't want the sanctions to affect China," Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Tuesday during a phone call with his Spanish counterpart. Beijing also gave its full backing Wednesday to comments made earlier this week by China's ambassador to Ukraine. "China will never attack Ukraine. We will help, especially economically," Fan Xianrong was quoted as saying in a press release from the Lviv regional government. Fears that Chinese companies could face US sanctions over ties with Russia had contributed to an epic sell-off in Chinese stocks recent days. That slump was reversed Wednesday when Beijing promised it would pursue policies to boost its sputtering economy and keep financial markets stable. US officials told CNN on Monday that they have information suggesting China has expressed some openness to providing Russia with requested military and financial assistance. China dismissed that as "disinformation." Analysts say that China is attempting to strike "a delicate balance" between supporting Russia rhetorically but without further antagonizing the United States. Beijing and Moscow share a strategic interest in challenging the West. However, Chinese banks cannot afford to lose access to US dollars, and many Chinese industries cannot afford to be deprived of US technology. |

Meanwhile, some Syrian mercenaries see participation in the war on the side of Russia as a chance to eventually defect and illegally cross to the EU.That's according to the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense, Ukrinform reports. The command of Russia's Khmeimim military base in Syria was instructed to send 300 Syrian fighters to the Ukraine war on a daily basis. On March 15, some 150 mercenaries were transported to Russia through the Khmeimim military base to take part in combat operations against Ukraine. |

America has taken in only SEVEN Ukrainian refugees compared to western allies welcoming thousands as more than 3.1m flee Putin's bombs: Number of asylum seekers 'are in ICE jails' and hundreds are stuck at southern border
 The US has only accepted seven Ukrainian refugees since the war began, despite President Joe Biden saying he would welcome those fleeing Russia 's aggression 'with open arms'. At least five Ukrainian refugees fleeing to the U.S. have been detained in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) centers, with one person moved to a detention center in Louisiana, according to Newsweek. State Department data obtained by Reuters reveals the low number of accepted refugees in the U.S. while other western countries have taken in thousands – and even millions of such asylum-seekers.

WASHINGTON U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Thursday that he believes Russian forces have committed war crimes in Ukraine, citing numerous instances of attacks on civilians. "President Biden said that, in his opinion, war crimes have been committed in Ukraine. Personally, I agree. Intentionally targeting civilians is a war crime," Blinken said during a press conference at the State Department. "After all, the destruction of the past three weeks, I find it difficult to conclude that the Russians are doing otherwise," he added. On Wednesday, President Joe Biden called Russian President Vladimir Putin "a war criminal" for his unprovoked war on Ukraine. It was the first time Biden publicly branded Putin with that term. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on Wednesday that Biden was speaking from his heart about what he has seen on the news, which she described as "barbaric actions by a brutal dictator." She noted that there is a separate legal process underway at the State Department to determine whether Putin violated international law and committed war crimes. The nation's top diplomat described a laundry list of reports in which Russian forces targeted Ukrainian civilians. "Russian forces bombed a theatre in Mariupol where hundreds of people had taken shelter. The word children had been written in Russian in giant white letters on the pavement outside the building so that you could know from the air that there were children inside," Blinken explained. "Russian forces also opened fire on 10 civilians who were waiting in line for bread," he said, adding that the U.S. had so far observed a "long list of attacks on civilian and nonmilitary locations across Ukraine." |
