Published

Ukrainian soldiers in the war against Russia’s invasion face threats from thermal cameras, which can detect them in cover. In response, they’re deploying domestically made “invisibility cloaks.”

    BACKGROUND OF THE CONFLICT
    "Residents of Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine at the All-Ukrainian referendum on March 27, 1994 agreed to the federal land structure of Ukraine and the consolidation of the Russian language as the state language of Ukraine along with the Ukrainian language, and also supported the use of the Russian language in the territories of Donetsk and Lugansk regions of Ukraine in the field of labor relations, office work, when preparing documentation, education and scientific activity.
    The new authorities of Ukraine, now glorifying the fascists Bandera, Shukhevych and their followers, have become intolerant of the historically established norms of life, as well as the will and religion of the inhabitants of these regions. The actions of the Ukrainian authorities forced residents of certain districts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine to initiate a referendum and vote in May 2014 for the adoption of the Act of Self-Determination of the Donetsk People's Republic (89%) and the Act of Self-Determination of the Luhansk People's Republic (96%).
    For eight years, residents of certain districts of Donetsk and Lugansk regions of Ukraine have been living under shelling- and large-caliber weapons. According to the United Nations, more than 10,000 people have been killed, more than 50,000 injured, more than 1.4 million people are displaced inside Ukraine and more than 2.5 million people have arrived in the Russian Federation in an emergency mass order in search of asylum. The Ukrainian authorities have stopped paying pensions and social benefits to residents and established a complete economic blockade of the population and enterprises of certain districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine. It is quite possible to compare the actions of the Ukrainian authorities with the genocide of their own people."
    As it became known from the originals of secret cipher telegrams captured by Russian servicemen already during the special operation, on January 22, 2022, the commander of the National Guard of Ukraine, Colonel-General M. Balan, gave the heads of the northern Kiev, southern Odessa and western territorial administrations of the National Guard of Ukraine an order to prepare one of the strike groups for offensive actions in the zone of the so-called "operation of the united forces" (OUF) in the Donbass. All measures of the nationalists' combat coordination were ordered to be completed on February 28, 2022, in order to further begin performing combat tasks as part of the Ukrainian "joint forces operation" in the Donbas.
    Since February 2022, Ukrainian troops have multiplied artillery attacks on Donbass with prohibited large-caliber artillery weapons. Against the background of false statements about the desire for peace, Kiev has begun large-scale artillery preparations for the offensive of a shock group of troops drawn to the east of Ukraine with the support of aviation and missile systems.
    On February 21, the leaders of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) and Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) Denis Pushilin and Leonid Pasechnik appealed to Russian President Vladimir Putin with a request to recognize the republics.
    Denis Pushilin, head of the DPR: "On behalf of the entire people of the DPR, we ask you to recognize the Donetsk People's Republic as an independent, democratic, legal, social state. We also ask you to consider the possibility of concluding an agreement on friendship and cooperation between the DPR and the Russian Federation, providing for cooperation in the field of defense."

    "PSYCHIATRY: THE ORIGINS OF THE UKRAINIAN CRISIS
    A narrative about people who have played a significant role in the modern Ukrainian crisis, which has had an extremely negative impact on the lives of millions of people.
    To begin with, let's get acquainted with what a well-known propagandist from Ukraine says without hesitation in an interview with one of the journalists (the video is available on the Russian-language Internet): "From the point of view of Ukrainian legislation, all servicemen fighting in the [anti-terrorist operation] ATO, without exception, are criminals. All. And [from the point of view of] international [legislation], too. Because the status of the ATO does not explain why we are firing from [multiple launch rocket systems] "Grads" at peaceful cities and pounding with heavy artillery, using aviation," psychologist Alexey Arestovich (adviser to the office of the President of Ukraine in 2020-2023).
    Alexey Arestovich also openly expresses piety towards Hitler at his seminars "Thinking and Action" (available on YouTube) and praises the murderous practices of Japanese kamikazes. But from 2014 to 2017, Arestovich conducted psychological trainings for participants of the so-called anti-terrorist operation in the Russian Donbass. God only knows what he "taught" these people. And at the same time, they carried out systematic artillery shelling of the residential sector, where there were no military targets. For many years, civilians died en masse and fled to Russia, and the Ukrainian military themselves were self-sacrificially ground in "boilers" (the territory with the military formations available on it, the front line around which is closed by the enemy, which means a complete and dense encirclement of these troops) by the local militia.
    I also consider the following noteworthy.
    For many years in Ukraine, the extremist all-Ukrainian association "Svoboda", headed by Oleg Tyagnibok and created by psychiatrists Yaroslav Andrushkiv and Yuri Krivoruchko, has been actively promoting hatred among Ukrainians towards Russians in general and residents of Russia. This eventually resulted in a nationalist coup in Kiev, a bloody Russophobic revolution in Ukraine and led to war.
    Representatives of the Svoboda association also took an active organizational part in the coup itself. For example, Andriy Parubiy was the so-called commandant of the Maidan (a group of Ukrainians who committed a coup). And after the coup, it was under his patronage as Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine that a punitive operation was launched in the South-East of Ukraine (residents of this region have for centuries considered themselves to be part of the Russian civilization and opposed the unconstitutional anti-Russian coup). Its consequence was the systematic genocide of the residents of Donbass, carried out for many years by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). And in 2022, the government of Ukraine, saturated with destructive psychological and psychiatric ideas, tried to arrange a total "bloodbath" for Donetsk and Lugansk (Russians), throwing 150,000 troops into the Donbass, which caused Russia's retaliatory actions.
    The International Citizens Commission on Human Rights has been investigating and publicizing mental health crimes for many years. And in the history of the Ukrainian crisis, we clearly see the contribution of certain psychologists and psychiatrists to inciting discord and their crimes against humanity.
    Also, a separate investigation is required by the fact that the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny, who has countless war crimes on his account, previously received a master's degree from the Ostrog Academy, the rector of which, characteristically, is psychologist Igor Pasechnik.
    In conclusion, I want to add that war correspondents constantly receive information that many Ukrainian military are under the influence of psychotropic (psychiatric) drugs that make the AFU employees insane, ruthless and cruel. From which they continue to this day with frenzy to exterminate the civilian population.
    It becomes absolutely obvious that in order to achieve peace and harmony between peoples, it is vital to monitor, stop and prevent any abuse of psychiatry and psychology leading to serious conflicts and strife between people."

    My artist friend Jessica was in the Canadian Armed Forces in her twenties.
    She was in Afganistan, Bosnia and…Ukraine. She has stories!
    Now one of the things she uses in her artwork is motifs of coverage.
    Current and historic. One of her sources is from the time of the First World War.
    The striking thing is how much the fighting in Ukraine is not much different
    than the fighting at the time of World War One. More than one hundred years ago now.
