CHINA MOVES FOR PEACE IN MOSCOW!

 

By our Eastern European Affairs correspondent

Vladimir Putin has endorsed the Chinese peace road-map for Ukraine. But it can be implemented only when West and Kiev are “ready” for it, the Russian president said after talks with his Chinese counterpart in the Kremlin this week.
    On Monday, Chinese president Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin held almost five hours of informal talks behind closed doors. President Xi’s visit is his first to Russia since the outbreak of the Ukraine war, and also his first foreign trip since securing an unprecedented third term as China’s head of state.
    Putin praised Beijing's 12-point peace plan during a summit with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping. The Chinese leader said Beijing continues to strictly adhere to the UN principles over the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, maintaining a balanced position calling on all parties to exercise restraint and a return to negotiations to seek a diplomatic solution to hostilities. “We’re always for peace and dialogue, and we firmly stand on the right side of history,” Xi said.
    This was welcomed by the Russian side. Putin however said the Western powers are still determined to prolong the conflict.“We believe that many of the provisions of the peace plan put forward by China are consonant with the Russian stance and can be taken as a foundation for a peaceful settlement when they are ready for it in the West and in Kiev. However, so far we have not observed such readiness on their part,” he said.
    The Americans want to kill the Chinese proposals stone-dead. On the eve of the Moscow summit US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told Fox News that any possible call by China for a ceasefire in Ukraine was "unacceptable". American imperialism does not want to see an end to the conflict it has done so much to foster and escalate all along.
    By prolonging the conflict the Americans seek to weaken Russia and force their NATO allies to further rely on the United States in security matters so that it can consolidate its grip over Europe. Enormous profits are being made from the 154 per cent surge in demand for US liquefied natural gas following the sanctions against Russian energy exports and the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines which many believe was carried out by American agents.
    But the times they are a changing and not in favour of the Americans. Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who praised Xi’s visit to Russia, is flying to Beijing for talks with the Chinese leaders next week and Ukraine is going to be top of the agenda.
    French President Emmanuel Macron plans to visit China in early April, in part to seek Chinese help to end the Ukraine crisis. "The fact that China engages in peace efforts is a good thing," Macron told the media.
    Meanwhile Russia has warned Britain against the planned delivery of depleted uranium (DU) armour-piercing tank rounds to Ukraine, saying the weapons will be treated by Moscow as containing “nuclear components.”
    Putin commented on UK plans to include DU munitions in a forthcoming delivery of Challenger 2 main battle tanks as he spoke alongside Chinese President Xi Jinping following talks in Moscow on Tuesday. Depleted uranium is used to make the hardened cores of armour-piercing rounds. The round’s core evaporates on impact, turning into aerosol and contaminating the environment with uranium.
    “I would like to note that if this happens, then Russia will be forced to react accordingly, bearing in mind that the collective West has already started to use weapons with a nuclear component,” Putin stated.
    A similar warning was issued by Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu on the sidelines of the Russia-China talks, who said the move would bring the world yet another step

Ukraine wants the Bomb!

By Alex Miller It didn’t take long. Just hours after Zelensky’s heated negotiations with Trump, Ukrainian banker Oleg Gorokovsky announced the start of a fundraising drive for a Ukrainian ‘Nuclear Bomb Project’. Gorokovsky is a well known Ukrainian businessman and the owner of  Monobank – the largest bank in the country. He explained to local media that Trump’s failure to provide Ukraine with a “nuclear armed security framework” is forcing Ukraine to act on its own, and called the Ukrainian Nuclear Bomb Project “Yaderka” (Nuke). He claimed he’d received "many requests to start collecting for Yaderka” and said that during the first 12 hours of the appeal a million dollars had been raised to finance the start of work on developing a Ukrainian nuclear bomb. Gorokovsky later tried to backtrack and began to explain that his nuke appeal was a “joke after a hard day”. But Monobank continues to support the appeal to raise funds for the nuclear campaign. The process of collecting money con...

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...
