I trust the nuetrality in Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko and NATO should back off. It's antagonizing the situation.

President Lukashenko publicly supported Russia's invasion of Ukraine in late February [Markus Schreiber/AP] Published On 5 May 20225 May 2022 Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko says he did not expect Russia’s offensive in Ukraine to last so long and claimed he is doing “everything” to stop the more than two-month-long war. Lukashenko defended Russia’s self-described “special military operation” on Thursday and accused Kyiv of “provoking” Moscow but said he had not thought the former’s campaign would “drag on this way”. “But I am not immersed in this problem enough to say whether it goes according to plan, like the Russians say, or like I feel it. I want to stress one more time, I feel like this operation has dragged on,” Lukashenko told The Associated Press news agency. He insisted that Belarus, which shares a border with Ukraine and is a staunch ally of Moscow, is pushing for a peace agreement between the two sides. “We categorically do not accept any war. We have done and are doing everything now so that there isn’t a war. Thanks to yours truly, me that is, negotiations between Ukraine and Russia have begun,” Lukashenko said. “But why is Ukraine, on whose territory a war in effect is ongoing … why is Ukraine not interested in these negotiations?” Use of nuclear weapons ‘unacceptable’ Lukashenko also said it would be “unacceptable” to use nuclear weapons but added he could not say if Russia has such mobilisation by its neighbour’s military. Russia deployed forces to Belarusian territory under the pretext of military drills prior to launching its invasion and then funnelled troops into Ukraine when it began the offensive on February 24. Lukashenko publicly supported the move, alleging at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in early March that Ukraine planned to attack Belarus and Moscow’s offensive prevented that aid he brought a map to show Putin from where the alleged attack was supposed to take place but offered no other evidence to support the claim. ‘We do not threaten anyone’ Thursday’s interview came after Belarus’s military announced snap drills earlier this week that raised concerns in Ukraine. However, Lukashenko said the exercises posed no threat. “We do not threaten anyone and we are not going to threaten and will not do it,” he said.“Moreover, we can’t threaten. We know who opposes us so to unleash some kind of a conflict, some kind of war here … is absolutely not in the interests of the Belarusian state. So the West can sleep peacefully.” On Wednesday, a spokesperson for Ukraine’s state border service said Kyiv had not ruled out the possibility that Moscow could yet utilise Belarus’s military as part of its offensive. Andriy Demchenko said Ukraine was “ready” for any such mobilisation by its neighbour’s military. Source: Al Jazeera and news agencies

A badge is pictured on a uniform of a foreign fighter as they are ready to depart towards the front line in the east of Ukraine following the Russian invasion. [Kai Pfaffenbach/Reuters] Published On 5 May 20225 May 2022 This is the premiere episode of the Essential Middle East podcast. Keep reading list of 1 item list 1 of 1 Ukraine war: Why is Russia encouraging foreign fighters to join? end of list The war in Ukraine has attracted thousands of foreign fighters battling on both sides from around the world including the Middle East. Some call them mercenaries, while others call them volunteers. So why are they joining the fight?

What's even more confusing is again they are saying Areas are taken by Russian separates. And then they show occupied territories belonging to Russian federation. All this fighting isn't being done by Russia itself. If this is a civil war, what business does USA have in this?

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/5/4/russia-pounds-donetsk-luhansk-at-least-21-killed Russian attacks in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region have killed at least 21 civilians and injured 27, the highest daily death toll in a month, according to regional governor Pavlo Kyrylenko. Writing on Telegram, Kyrylenko said at least 10 people were killed after the Russians shelled the Avdiivka coke plant, one of Europe’s largest. Five more people were killed in the town of Lyman, four in the town of Vuhledar and one each in the villages of Velyka Novosilka and Shandrygolove, he said.

I am bitter every time mention of USA because it's none of their business and if they hadn't led Ukraine into being confrontational with Russia they could have fairly worked this out diplomatically Western influence is always confrontational with Russia and would cause as much problems as they could misusing the trust of Ukraine. Shows they were out to use Ukraine to bait in trouble. USA is likely wallowing in pride for the trouble they caused them both. It's my country but I hate their international politics and their national politics don't sit well with Americans. They need to bring back functional proconstitution and procapitalist politics and lose the draconian government citizen abuse that is widespread, expensive, and damning to the growth and civil respects of its people. We are all done with it and media allowed to keep citizens in the dark and keep playing them with false flags. USA keeps trying to use our soldiers to police the world using misinformation to goad our military into warfare. You don't know how close we are to splitting up. We are going to go through what Russia went through when Russia fell. That's why I think Ukraine kind of deserved this for bringing Western politics at their doorsteps. I'm for Russia in this war until they remove westerners out of their politics.

https://www.urbanthreads.com/products.aspx?ProductID=UT20590 The United States says it has “highly credible” intelligence reports that Russia is planning to annex two Ukrainian regions and declare a third “people’s republic” in the southeast. Moscow may annex the two existing proxy states – the self-described people’s republics in Luhansk and Donetsk “some time in mid-May”, the US ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), Michael Carpenter, said on Monday.

They are saying civilians have been killed, but I wonder if it's the ones out riding bikes in the wartorn streets? Talk about brave people! Someone should put them under marshal law and arrest ambulance chasers. Most people stay in the house during emergencies unless your in New York.

Vadim Astafyev said that Ukrainian forces and “militants” from the Azov battalion had emerged from the facility’s basements during a ceasefire which had been agreed to allow for civilian evacuations and taken up “firing positions on the territory and in the buildings of the plant”, Russia’s RIA Novosti news agency reported.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/5/1/russia-ukraine-war-civilians-evacuate-mariupols-azovstal-plant Mariupol The United Nations confirms ‘a safe passage operation’ is under way at the Azovstal steel plant to rescue civilians trapped by fighting. Evacuees in a bus in an area controlled by Russian-backed separatist forces in Bezimenne, about 20km (12 miles) east of Mariupol on Saturday, April 30, 2022 [AP] Published On 1 May 20221 May 2022 About 100 civilians have been evacuated from the besieged steel plant in the eastern Ukrainian city of Mariupol, after the United Nations and the International Red Cross brokered a deal to extract non-combatants from the site of the most destructive siege of the war in Ukraine. The evacuees will arrive in the Ukrainian-controlled city of Zaporizhzhia on Monday, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy tweeted on Sunday.

That is what I was asking because they are a proRussian separtist group that is claiming to have taken over east Ukraine areas. Their map shows the area space much larger than normal maps. I was asking who they were.

This site has me confused. I've never heard of The RSA. It reads like RSA is in civil war with Ukraine and reports say Russia is fighting the war. Someone needs to inform Western countries who they are fighting and sanctioning. They all including RSA need to clarify the land mass of the territories because the RSA shows it resides in 1/3 of Ukraine territory.

Ukraine War Map Russian Attack on Ukraine 2022 Below we have an image showing where the initial attack by the aggressive Russian forces on the Ukraine in march 2022. Experts were expecting Russia to only attack the disputed regions of Donetsk and Luhansk. this appears to be incorrect information as the Russian forces have fired artillery shells all over the Ukraine. Map of the Ukraine War Above is a map of the contested regions within Ukraine as of August 2014. This is the second in a series of maps about the war in the Ukraine. The first being about the downing of flight MH13 and where it happened. While we hope that all issues are worked and that the fighting stops, if it doesn’t we will continue to publish updated maps of where the war has spread to. If indeed it does spread. The Ukraine is subdivided into 24 Oblasts (provinces), most of which have not seen any fighting or unrest. The Oblasts that have seen unrest are as follows : The mauve province is the Crimea, which has already been annexed by Russia and is considered Russian territory, although this situation has not been recognized by most of the nations of the UN. The green provinces have seen pro-Russian protests but relatively little or no fighting. These provinces are Odessa, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhia. The blue province is Kharkiv and this is a special region that has been occupied by the Regional State Administration or RSA. Effectively this equates to governor of Texas taking complete control of the state and not being beholden in anyway to Washington. This is a matter that still needs to be resolved. The red provinces of Donetsk and Luhansk are the ones that have seen the most intensive fighting. Thousands of people have been killed in these regions and there looks like no end to the hostilities, at least not in the near future. Donetsk is also the province that the ill-fated flight MH17 flying over when it was shot down by surface to air missiles.

I think piece by piece Russia will take Ukraine. Don't know at what or when Ukraine touched or assured they gave Russia the straw that broke their camel's backs. The world knows they don't have their peoples faith, loyalties, or desire to fight a world war. The western world has lost its peoples undying love for their countries falsely bloated egos and likely it's because they crawled under the wings of America. America bluffed its way into losing their place in their imagined control of the world's wills by falling at their false flag and gullible stunts against the imagined enemy and their peoples' 'pretend war for freedom. America suck it up! You not only shamed your country's name, your country's' place in the worlds misguided faith in you, exposed your country for being the worlds weakest link, but the thorough disgust, hate, and your con into thinking our people were the worlds only hope and revealed yourselves as their biggest shame. You revealed to your people how little their value really was to you by trying to put the responsibility of a needless and destructive world war in their hands .

Fighting is still ongoing, Stratford reported, also in the towns of Popasna, Lysychansk and Hirske.
