Refuk’s Coburn, who was UKIP’s leader in Scotland, appeared in WhatsApp messages to traitor Nathan Gill. CPS evidence shows repeated references to a “David” and a payment of $6,500 to an MEP called “D”. In April 2019, Voloshyn wrote to Gill: “I’m seeing D in the morning. How much was for him?”

Putin will in der besetzten Ukraine eine Russifizierungsquote von 95 %. Das ist kultureller Genozid. Was russische Besatzung bedeutet, ist viel zu wenig Teil der deutschen und internationalen Debatte um "Frieden". Besatzung ist kein Frieden! Sie ermöglicht Gewalt ohne Gegenwehr.
Genocide just as Lemkin defined it.

Trump and Witkoff seem to believe that all Americans care about is making money. When it comes to Ukraine, however, polls show clearly that American care about right and wrong. Trump is out of step with American people on Ukraine/Russia.
Five-byline alert: 🚨
“.. the full scope of [Witkoff’s talks] went much further, according to people familiar .. They were privately charting a path to bring Russia’s $2 trillion economy in from the cold—with American businesses first in line .. to the dividends. 🇺🇦
