RUSSIAN OMBUDSMAN VISITS UKRAINIAN PRISONERS IN CRIMEA

Russian Commissioner for Human Rights Tatiana Moskalkova visited the places where the captured Ukrainian soldiers are located during a business trip to the Crimean Peninsula.

“During a visit to detention centers, I personally made sure that Ukrainian prisoners who are on Russian territory are provided with everything they need. All prisoners in Russia receive all necessary and high quality medical care,” he said.

The Ukrainian military described Moskalkova’s condition and the medical care they are receiving. They emphasized that they found a humane attitude on the Russian side.

Her temporary apartment has a TV, a smoking area, enough light, it’s not cold there, and the bed linen is changed on time.

Moskalkova added that her team is ready to replenish the library there themselves.

He stressed that the conditions under which Ukrainian prisoners live in Crimea meet the standards set out in the Geneva Convention and expressed hope that Russian prisoners in Ukraine will receive the same treatment.

In addition, Moskalkova wrote on her Telegram channel that she remains in close contact with the Russian Ministry of Defense on the issue of the mechanism for the exchange of Russian and Ukrainian prisoners.

RUSSIA DESTROYS MILITARY AIRFIELDS WITH HIGH-PRECISION MISSILES IN TWO MAJOR UKRAINE CITIES

Russian forces have “taken out” the military airfields of the cities of Poltava and Dnepropetrovsk in north-eastern and eastern Ukraine respectively with air-launched missiles, Russia’s Defense Ministry reported at a news conference on Saturday, RT reports.

Minister spokesman Igor Konashenkov said Russian forces this morning used long-range air and sea-launched missiles to destroy tanks at the Kremenchug oil refinery, which supplied fuel to Ukrainian troops in the central and eastern parts of the country.
The armed forces of the Donetsk People’s Republic eliminated up to 40 nationalists, two platoons of mechanized infantry and one armored group, and one mortar battery.

Russian air defenses shot down two Ukrainian helicopters and 24 unmanned aerial vehicles near the north-eastern city of Sumy.

Overnight, operational-tactical air and missile forces eliminated 67 military objects in Ukraine, including two command posts, two ammunition depots, 9 artillery pieces, as well as 54 collection points for military equipment of the Ukrainian army.

In total, since the beginning of military actions, Russia has destroyed 124 aircraft, 84 helicopters, 381 unmanned aerial vehicles, 1,882 tanks and other armored vehicles, 203 multiple rocket launchers, 786 howitzers and mortars, and 1,764 military special vehicles.

REPORTING TO US TO HELP TRANSFER OF SOVIET TANKS TO UKRAINE

The US government will work with its allies to move Soviet tanks to Ukraine to bolster its defenses in Donbass, the New York Times reported on Friday, citing an official from the North American country, RT reports.

According to the source, who declined to reveal his identity, Washington’s decision to act as facilitator for the deployment of these main battle tanks — which Ukrainian troops know how to use — is in response to a request from Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskyy.

The official said deliveries would begin soon, although he declined to say how many tanks would be delivered to Kyiv or which countries they would come from. However, he specified that this military technique will allow Ukraine to conduct long-range artillery strikes against Russian targets.

According to US media, this is the first time the US has helped bring armored vehicles to Ukraine since Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on February 24 “a special military operation to defend Donbass” and “protect people who have been victims of abuse, has announced “genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years” and the “demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine”.

Likewise, the New York Times believes that sending tanks to the Zelenskyi government could be another sign of a new phase in the conflict.

Last Sunday, the Ukrainian leader called on NATO members to supply Kyiv with tanks and planes, as well as anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons.

AFRICA DOES NOT SUPPORT THE “CRUSADE” ANTI-RUSSIA

Not a single African country has imposed sanctions on Russia, which has become the largest arms exporter on the African continent in recent years.

Faced with Western pressure in their attempt to isolate Russia, several African politicians recalled the wars waged by the US and its allies in the Middle East, North Africa and Asia.

South Africa’s ambassador to the UN, Mathu Joyini, used a moment during the debates in the assembly on the humanitarian consequences of the Ukraine conflict to accuse Washington of having repeatedly violated the UN charter and now pursuing its own geopolitical advantages with its anti-Russian campaign at the UN.

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has criticized the US and Europe for applying double standards in international relations, recalling the 2011 intervention in Libya that toppled Muammar Gaddafi.

“They destroyed the country and spread terrorism beyond its borders,” the African president told Nikkei Asia, while calling the intervention a “criminal and unacceptable act.”

CHINA DID NOT JOIN THE UNILATERAL SANCTIONS AGAINST RUSSIA IMPLEMENTED BY THE WEST, STRESSING THAT ONLY DIALOGUE AND NEGOTIATION CAN RESOLVE THE CRISIS

India also did not support the UN resolution and resisted US pressure to impose sanctions on Russia. On the contrary, New Delhi and Moscow have completed the creation of a mutual settlement system that will allow Russia to bypass the blockade of access to international interbank payment platforms such as SWIFT.

But the most ambiguous stance has emerged in the Middle East, where the United States’ key strategic allies – Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia – have resisted after heeding Washington’s calls for Russia’s isolation and support for sanctions against Moscow .

According to Hussein Ibish, a research associate at the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington, over the past decade these governments have gradually come to the conclusion that “the US era is over and a rapid transition to a multipolar world is underway. “And it’s irreversible.

THE BRICS MEMBERS’ NEUTRAL POSITION AGAINST RUSSIA STRENGTHENS THE BLOCK

Kyiv and the West hoped that the Russian special operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine would doom and lead to Russia’s isolation, but the result was not calculated. Sputnik spoke to analyst Paulo Velasco to explain how Russia’s closest partners have not allowed their relationship to be damaged.

After Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine, Brazil, India, China and South Africa resisted pressure to impose sanctions on Moscow, maintaining a diplomatically neutral position.

According to Paulo Velasco, Professor of International Politics at the University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), this position indicates a coordinated logic between countries, citing as an example the year 2014, marked by the reunification of Crimea with Russia, when the countries also waived sanctions against Moscow.

“The political sign of the BRICS countries is that they do not submit, do not approach or do not agree to the dynamics imposed by the so-called Western countries,” he assessed.

Velasco suggests that this is because the BRICS interpretation of the conflict is itself a different interpretation – particularly in terms of autonomy, defending their own interests – that is more multipolar.

“It seems natural that the BRICS countries should decide not to submit to the West, to NATO or to anyone else. It’s natural that they want to go their own way, which serves their own interests,” he said.

However, that doesn’t mean it’s a submissive position for the block, according to Velasco.

According to the analyst, Brazil did not fail to show its disagreement on several points, pointing out a lack of balance on the part of the resolutions, but maintained a position of distancing itself from the conflict, without making any commitment to either side that there is a balance. Furthermore, Velasco believes that this demonstrates a very traditional Brazilian attitude in the field of international relations.
