The Latest
Ukraine belongs in the European Union and the bloc would like to see the country join it in time, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told Euronews on Sunday.
“Indeed over time, they belong to us. They are one of us and we want them in,” she said.The Russian rouble DOWN nearly 30%,
CPAC for is usually a good way to gauge the mood of grass-roots activists within the Republican Party in the US. If the event is any indication, the conservative base of the party is much more interested in the upcoming congressional mid-term elections in November and defeating Democrats than they are about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Top Republicans in office like Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis, Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Florida Senator Rick Scott, didn’t mention Ukraine at all in their speeches.
More disinformation from US intelligence agencies, this time aimed at sabotaging the Ukraine/Russia talks?
“Amid reports of a referendum in Belarus approving a proposal to renounce its non-nuclear status, a US official believes Belarus is preparing to send soldiers into Ukraine in support of the Russian invasion.
The Washington Post spoke to an unnamed US administration official on Sunday evening who said the deployment could begin as soon as Monday.”If you are going to make up something like that, it might be an idea to give it some degree of plausibility.

It appears that Snake Island near Odessa may have to be renamed as Fake Island. The Ukrainian soldiers still deserve to be congratulated, for choosing not to die for nothing.
Similarly, the mayor and people of this Ukrainian town took the sensible decision not to follow the Ukrainian government’s stupid advice to throw Molotov cocktails at the tanks that rolled into their town. That way a pointless loss of life was avoided.
No war is worth the shedding of a single drop of working class blood.
And here is a statement — no, an article — from Mouvement Communiste released just today that they have not yet put into English. I advise non-readers of French to use deepl (www.deepl.com), *not* Google Translate. Deepl is usually somewhat~much better. Though it can depend on the language.

422,000 people have fled Ukraine to neighbouring countries.
And again another article highlighting the double-standards
That long document in French seems to be looking forward to a coming world war. In the meantime workers in Ukraine should use the free guns that are being handed out to use in a civil war against the bourgeoisie. Left Communist revolutionary romanticism.
I risked ZJW recommendation of a web translator and did this

Hopefully, it is accurate enough of ‘Another War to Condemn’ blog-post
I’m awaiting a WSPUS comrade to double-check the translation.
If so perhaps when uploaded to the internet it will attract the notice of a few Russians,
The expert verdict is that it is a mediocre translation but nevertheless comprehensible and understandable, so feel free to post.
