A Conscious Decision to Save Lives


Slowdown of Moscow Op in Ukraine's Pace a Conscious Decision to Minimize Civilian Casualties
On Tuesday, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu arrived on a working visit to Uzbekistan, where a meeting of the defense ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) member states takes place.
    Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that slowing down the pace of the offensive during a special military operation in Ukraine is a conscious decision, it is due to the desire to minimize civilian casualties.
    "Throughout the special operation, we have strictly observed the norms of humanitarian law. Strikes are carried out with high-precision weapons on objects of the military infrastructure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces - control points, airfields, warehouses, fortified areas, objects of the military-industrial complex.     At the same time, everything is being done to avoid civilian casualties. Of course, this slows down the pace of the offensive, but we are doing it consciously," Shoigu said.
    According to him, the Russian military "organized systematic work on establishing peaceful life in the liberated territories."
    "We are providing humanitarian assistance, restoring infrastructure and life support systems," the Russian Defense Minister said.
    The need for a special military operation in Ukraine was dictated by real threats from Kiev to the residents of Donbass, and subsequently to Russia, Sergei Shoigu said.
    According to the defense minister, the special military operation "is proceeding according to plan," and he added that "all tasks will be completed".
    Arms sent to Ukraine from the United States and its allies have greatly added to the number of human casualties, and prolonged the military conflict, Shoigu told a meeting of defense ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization's member states.
    "The United States and its allies continue pumping weapons into Ukraine, which increases the number of victims and drags on the conflict," Shoigu said.
    Noting that pressure continues on Russia's partners to isolate it, he expressed gratitude to his colleagues "for their principled position and support".
    A large number of Ukrainian servicemen have voluntarily surrendered as Kiev fears their they will reveal the truth and is cracking down on its own soldiers, Shoigu added.
    "Now a large number of Ukrainian servicemen, knowing how humanely the Russian side deals with prisoners of war, are voluntarily laying down their weapons. However, the Kiev regime, to intimidate and prevent the surrender of others, as well as fearing revealing testimony, is cracking down on its own soldiers," Shoigu said.
    Russia continues its special operation to demilitarize and de­-Nazify Ukraine, which was ordered by President Vladimir Putin on February 24 following a request from the republics of Donetsk and Lugansk to protect them from Kiev’s atrocities.
    Russia has repeatedly said that the special operation it launched in Ukraine, which is in its sixth month, seeks to solely destroy the country's military infrastructure and that civilians are not in danger.
    Western nations have imposed numerous sanctions on Russia and have been supplying weapons to Ukraine, which, in turn, resulted in skyrocketing energy and food prices around the world.

Zionists and Banderites find a common cause

 by Theo Russell An IUAFS member recently attended a meeting organised by the Jewish Vegetarian Society for Refugee Week. The topic was the 'Kindertransport', a British scheme to rescue nearly 10,000 predominantly Jewish children from Nazi occupied territories during the Second World War. However the meeting then turned to the question of "rescuing" children from Ukraine today. The meeting chair expressed in no uncertain terms his support for Ukraine in the current war with the forces of Russia and the former Donbas republics. The meeting was then addressed by a Ukrainian refugee who was given accommodation by an ex-Kindertransport survivor, who suggested that the Jewish community in Britain could "return" the favour by helping Ukrainian children and their families. A discussion then took place about the practicalities of Jewish people in Britain accommodating Ukrainian child "refugees". When the issues of the many historical pogroms against Jews i...

United States is abusing the UN Security Council

by Alex Miller The United States continues to abuse its powers as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, using them for its own interests and failing to fulfill its obligations as a guarantor of world stability.  Immediately after his inauguration, the US President-elect Donald Trump began implementing a set of measures proposed by his team. These measures led to a serious change in approaches to domestic and foreign policy. The White House has moved toward a more aggressive policy in the international arena, including through the United Nations. Trump is trying to solve the internal problems of the USA such as the increase in the number of immigrants, the inability to adequately respond to natural disasters, the economic collapse and the unprecedented growth of the national debt, the ineffective fight against the COVID-19 epidemic by meeting the demands of his supporters. He has also begun to implement the "America First" approach to foreign policy. Trump has long op...

The falsification of history

the address by the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation to the parliaments of foreign states and the peoples of the world on the inadmissibility of falsification of the history of the Second World War and rehabilitation of Nazism  The 9th May 2025 marked the 80th anniversary of the historic victory of the Soviet Union in the Great Patriotic War. The war unleashed by Hitler's Germany and its satellites claimed the lives of 27 million Soviet citizens. Millions were imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps, lost their homes, and were subjected to forced labour in Germany and the countries under its control.  The Great Victory is owed to the perseverance and bravery of the Soviet people, their resolute determination to defeat Nazism, which became a threat to humankind. The allies of the USSR in the anti-Hitler coalition made a significant contribution to the defeat of the Third Reich.  The International Military Tribunal ...
