  1. The UN Security Council is entitled to make its decisions despite the veto by Russia. According to the UN Charter, when discussing issues of peaceful settlement of disputes in the Security Council, the party involved in such a dispute мust abstain from voting when making a decision. Article 27 provides: "3. Decisions of the Security Council on all other matters shall be made by an affirmative vote of nine members including the concurring votes of the permanent members; provided that, in decisions under Chapter VI, and under paragraph 3 of Article 52, a party to a dispute shall abstain from voting."

  2. At the General Assembly in New York, where Lavrov again lied about the principle of self-determination of nations, none of the journalists at the press conference thought to ask him a question: since when did the Kherson, Zaporozhye or Donetsk nations appear in the world? Tomorrow every village, every lane around the corner will declare itself a nation. If states begin to collapse like this, the Russian will be the first victim.

  4.  @neutrino78x  Wrong. Veto may be imposed only by voting "veto" If the rule requires to abstain from voting, you are unable to vote "veto".

  5. Question to the ICC judges: After Hamas massacred one and a half thousand Israelis, women and children, and hid behind the backs of the “peaceful” Palestinians, what should Netanyahu have done?

  6. Tomorrow, on February 24, 2025, Trump will force the US allies to vote refusing the wording of the “Russian invasion of Ukraine” in the UN resolution. So Russia didn't invade? Did it enter some other country with weapons? Soon Trump, in order to suck up to Putin, will demand to deny that the Earth revolves around the Sun. Poor Ukraine, two bullies are now taking on its independence and even existence.

  7. Mr. President, if not NATO for Ukraine, then what? What other guarantees are there for her? There was already the Budapest Memorandum, which Russia did not care about. If there are no real guarantees, Putin will enter Khreshchatyk tomorrow.

  8. President Trump, speaking with Putin on equal terms, legalizes the outcast and his fascist regime. He doesn't understand what he's doing. This is exactly what Putin has been striving for all along. Now let Trump treat Kim in Pyongyang.

  9. Unfortunately, Trump does not want to understand what is really happening in Ukraine. Why did Putin start this war? Ukraine's accession to NATO would threaten Russia no more than the fact that all the countries of the former Warsaw Bloc and the Baltic states are in NATO. Why do all these countries deserve guarantees from Russian attack, but Ukraine does not? The problem is different, not at all in Ukraine’s accession to NATO. Тhe fact is that Russian nationalists cannot come to terms with the idea that Odessa, Kharkov and Kyiv are now in another country.

  10. Trump's idea is fruitful. New Gaza could become for the world consortium a new Switzerland on the seashore, the world's best resorts. Rich Arab countries could invest in this universal project in exchange for resettling the poor residents of Gaza.

  11. Donald Trump was asked twice: do you want Ukraine to win so that it remains an independent country? The refusal to answer speaks for itself.  Ergo, he does not consider the invasion of Russia into the neighboring country as an act of aggression.  No matter that the entire civilized world does so.   Such a position of Mr. Trump may not be justified by his preparation for the talks with the Russian president, his intention to enter such negotiations with the free hands.  There are such thing that may not sanctified for any good cause.   In such a situation, it is bordering on moral turpitude.

  12. TTrump is making a big mistake in his election campaign regarding Putin. When arguing with Biden, he must promise that his confrontation with Putin will be stronger than Biden's, not weaker. Look at Reagan, not Obama and Biden, who allowed the Russian empire to be revived.

  17. Vladimir Bogorad, California attorney; Ph.D. in Law, Russia Today, a special session of the UN General Assembly on the situation in Ukraine resumed its work at the headquarters in New York. It is noted that the main purpose of the special session is to consider a resolution condemning the referendums held in the Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics, as well as in the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions on the issue of joining Russia. Before the vote on the document, which is scheduled to be held before the end of this week, a debate will have to take place for several days. Please take my opinion into account. The treaties on the covered territories with Russia cannot be legal, because one of the parties is completely deprived of legal personality: 1. Article 73 of the Constitution of Ukraine states that the issues of changing the territory of the country shall be decided exclusively by an all-Ukrainian referendum. In the Constitution of any country, not only Ukraine and Russia, it is a hornbook provision that only the people of the whole country should decide whether to tear off part of the land. Without such a rule, no state could resist. 2. The reference to the right of nations to self-determination is ridiculous. There is no "Zaporozhye" nation, no "Kherson" nation, no "Donetsk" nation. If this is accepted, tomorrow every village, every alley around the corner would declare the right to self-determination. States would crumble like a house of cards. Russia would be the first victim. 3. Russia signed these treaties in flagrant violation of its international obligation. Under the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, Russia pledged to respect the territorial integrity of Ukraine in exchange for the renunciation of nuclear weapons. Contrary to a Russian excuse, this instrument is valid without ratification. Article 15 of the Federal Statute of the Russian Federation "On International Treaties" of July 15, 1995 states that ratification is required if it is provided for in the treaty itself. However, the Budapest Memorandum, according to its text, does not require ratification. On the contrary, it is clearly stated at the end of the document that it enters into force immediately upon signing the document. 4. Decisions in these referenda shall are taken in the absence of free expression of will. A war is raging in Ukraine. Referendums were held under the auspices of the invader - the one who was going to annex the "liberated" lands. Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of voters have fled their homes. For whatever reason, they did not vote. Bullets whistled over the heads of those who remained, shells exploded, they buried the dead, death threats were heard from both sides, fear hung over people everywhere, they were afraid to open their mouths. A man with a machine gun came for the voice. Is it a free vote?

  18. Trump is either a fool or a complete ignoramus. The more he admires Putin, the more he loses supporters who hate the dictatorship.

  19. 30 members of the lower house of the US Congress from the Democratic Party called on President Joe Biden to begin direct negotiations with Russia, which could lead to the end of the war. They don't understand. Putin will never give up what he has already captured. This crocodile will never regurgitate what it has swallowed. Therefore, negotiations are USELESS.

  20. Four reasons ас то why these Russian referendums in Ukraine are a fascist mockery of the laws of Ukraine and Russia, the traditions of civilized humanity. Read it: 1. Article 73 of the Constitution of Ukraine states that the issues of changing the territory of the country shall be decided exclusively by an all-Ukrainian referendum. In the Constitution of any country in the world, not only Ukraine and Russia, it is written that only the people of the whole country should decide whether to dig up a piece of land from themselves. Without such a rule, no state could resist. Ask Putin, if tomorrow people on Sakhalin island vote to surrender to Japan, will he let them go? Like he "let go" Chechnya. 2. They say that the UN documents record the right of nations to self-determination. Yes, NATIONS. But no one has ever heard of the "Zaporozhye" nation. About the "Kherson" nation. About the "Donetsk" nation. If this is accepted, tomorrow every village, every alley around the corner would declare the right to self-determination. All states would crumble like a house of cards. Russia would be the first victim. 3. A war is raging in Ukraine. Referendums are held under the auspices of the invader - the one who is going to annex the "liberated" lands. Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of voters have fled their homes. For whatever reason, they do not vote. Bullets whistle over the heads of those who remain, shells explode, the dead are buried, death threats are heard on both sides, widespread fear, people are afraid to open their mouths. A man with a gun comes for your voice. What kind of free voting is Putin talking about? 4. Finally, there is the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, which Russia signed and under which it pledged to respect the territorial integrity of Ukraine in exchange for abandoning nuclear weapons. In Russia, the idlers on all channels repeat that Russia should not comply with this document, because it has not been ratified by Russia. Lies. The lack of ratification does not absolve Russia from fulfilling its obligation. Article 15 of the Federal Law of the Russian Federation "On International Treaties" of 15 July 1995 states that ratification is required if it is provided for in the international treaty itself. However, the Budapest Memorandum, according to its text, does not require ratification. On the contrary, it is clearly stated at the end of the document that it enters into force immediately upon signature. So Russia brazenly refuses to do what it has signed.

  21. I repeat this for the hundredth time, is there anyone around Trump who can bring him out of the illusion: Putin doesn't need peace, Putin needs Ukraine.

  22. Donald Trump is deeply mistaken about "friendship with Russia." Putin is not Gorbachev, they have completely different views. The only thing that will happen is that fascist Putin will use Trump for his own purposes.

  23. Only the insane can demand that Zelensky enter into negotiations with the new Hitler to end the war. If Russia stops the war, there will be peace in Ukraine. And if Ukraine stops the war, there will be no Ukraine.

  24. There were the referendums one year ago on the Ukranian lands captured by Russia. It was a fascist mockery of the laws of Ukraine and Russia, the traditions of civilized humanity. Read it: 1. Article 73 of the Constitution of Ukraine states that the issues of changing the territory of the country shall be decided exclusively by an all-Ukrainian referendum. In the Constitution of any country in the world, not only Ukraine and Russia, it is written that only the people of the whole country should decide whether to dig up a piece of land from themselves.

  25. Those who said that history repeats itself in cycles are right. The end of the thirties of the last century returns. Europe is slowly raising its arms before Russia's brazening Nazism. New Chamberlains and Daladiers put in their pants and, as then, hold on to their pockets instead of clutching the rifle. Lenin warned about this path of Russian nationalism for a hundred years back in the article "On National Pride of Great Russians." As Germany after Versailles so Russia after Belovezhye are reborn from humiliation by the new fascism. The phantom pains of the lost ends did not subside and European capitals hope in vain for this. Look at the polls, how they are all united, how he has all carried them all away with a new war, even pensioners are ready to take under arms, and hysterical women are ready to give birth from the Führer. All unwanted media outlets have been shut down, opponents are in prison or have been driven out of the country. Have you forgotten how German fascism began? Meet the new Hitler.

  26. Ukraine does not need F-16 fighters, but Tornado IDS and Convair B-36 bombers. You just need to cover all this Mongol yoke in one fell swoop so that the spirit of it does not remain on Ukrainian soil.

  27. If Ukraine does not join NATO, all these negotiations are just idiotic wasting of time. Without Ukraine in NATO, Russia will inevitably capture the neighbour, sooner or later. People in the US and the whole world just can't imagine how the imperialists in Russia cry for the loss of Odessa, Kharkiv and Kiev.

  29. Big blame on the leaders of the West. Putin and Lukashenko, their henchmen, should be completely excluded. as international criminals, from world civilization. With them, as with lepers, no one in the world should communicate at all, in any form. Why did Blinken meet with Lavrov? Why are the UN talking to them? There are none, outcasts of mankind. These are political corpses, they stink.

  30. May 25, 2022. "President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on a simplified procedure for obtaining Russian citizenship for residents of Kherson and Zaporizhia regions." Well, who else has any doubts why Putin entered Ukraine? Denazification, demilitarization - ordinary fig leaves. In the twenty-first century, а brutal pirate occupation of a neighboring country is underway. Can you believe these Chamberlains and Daladiers in the West are still pondering whether they should quarrel with the fascist Russia.

  33. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that Washington is ready to resume contacts with Ukraine as soon as Kyiv demonstrates its readiness for peace. But why is this an allegory? Why fuss like a louse on a comb? Say it straight: Washington is ready to resume contacts with Ukraine as soon as Kyiv demonstrates its readiness to give Putin part of its territory. And it will be a clear position.

  36. There is a way out of the impasse in Crimea, if bias is discarded. Crimea should belong to both countries. Crimea has never been part of an independent Russian state as it exists today. Crimea belonged to the people inhabiting Russia and Ukraine, when these territories were part of the USSR, and when they were part of the Russian Empire. The current state border between Ukraine and Crimea is the same injustice as if such a border were between Russia and Crimea. In international law, there is the concept of condominium (condominium) - an entity over which two states exercise sovereignty and possession. For example, Pheasant Island, owned by France and Spain, under the Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659, after the Thirty Years' War. Russia cannot afford to be in international isolation for thirty years. It must move towards a compromise. The whole world sees that Crimea was not rightfully annexed, and this curse cannot hang over Russia forever.

  37. On February 21, 1848, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels published the "Manifesto of the Communist Party," which began with the words "A ghost haunts Europe - the specter of communism." On August 19, 2024, Democratic Party presidential candidate Kamala Harris spoke at her congress with a manifesto whose meaning boils down to the words: "A ghost haunts the United States - the specter of communism."

  38. Is there even one half-wit in the world who did not understand: The threat from NATO is a PRETEXT that INVENTED the Great-Russians, led by Putin, to bring back the corpse of Great Russia, starting with swallowing Ukraine.

  39. To Trump. Mr. President, do not flatter yourself with Putin. He will not retreat one iota.

  40. Palestinian special envoy Riyad Mansour of the Palestinian Authority told the UN: “We have no other country except Palestine.” There is no such country as Palestine. This is the same concept as Sibеria, the Middle East and Oceania. The Arab world gathered Arabs in this territory for an eternal war against the Jews. There is no other purpose for their presence in this “country”. They produce nothing but war.

  42. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that the reason why Ukraine cannot yet become a member of NATO has already been mentioned many times: there is a conflict on its territory. Herr Scholz, that's why NATO is needed to enter into a conflict and appease the international brigand. Otherwise you are fucking needed.

  45. Trump wants peace. Putin wants Ukraine. How will they agree?

  46. Trump says he understands why Russia is bombing Ukraine. He believes Putin is doing in Ukraine "what others would do." In the run-up to a ceasefire, Putin's brutal bombing of Ukrainian cities has no purpose other than revenge. Trump's words suggest he would do the same.

  50. The US vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance described today Trump's plan to end the conflict in Ukraine. Trump's Ukraine plan "includes a freeze along the front lines." What stupidity. Ukraine will never agree to freeze at the disposal of Russi its ancestral regions adjusting Zaporizhie and Kherson, which are like Boston and Philadelphia for Americans. It was my guess from the beginning that Trum was just bluffing in secreting his plan which turned to be a joke.
