Russia inks recognition of Donbass regions
The justification for the Donbass population to declare independence and ask for protection from Russia, is because Ukraine has continued its aggression against the two autonomous regions of Donetsk and Luhansk.
Published: February 22, 2022, 9:15 am
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed an agreement with the leaders of the two republics respectively on February 21, officially accepting the demise of the Minsk Agreement which Ukraine – a signatory – had failed to implement. By formally recognizing the two independent regions, Ukraine (like Yugoslovia) will be divided into three separate republics.

The Minsk 2 agreement had been reinforced by UN Resolution 2202(2015) calling for Donbass to be an autonomous area specified in a constitution, which Kiev simply refused to accept. There are currently 17 autonomous communities in Europe.
Instead, on November 2, 2021, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky appointed Nazi leader Dmitro Yarosh as adviser to the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armies, General Valerii Zaluzhnyi.
Yarosh is suspected of being part of NATO’s Eastern European clandestine networks. In 2007, he helped the CIA to coordinate Nazi and Islamist groups in Ternopol, western Ukraine, during the second Chechen war against Russia. He also played a key role during the 2014 EuroMaidan coup as one of the leaders of the “Right Sector”.
Nazi and Islamist factions were set up as an “anti-imperialist front” against Russia which Yarosh had overseen. In February 2014, he was appointed as Deputy Secretary of the National Security Council of Ukraine.
He ran in the presidential election that followed the coup d’état, but was seriously injured in 2015, and forced to retire for several years.
In his new capacity, Yarosh has led the Nazi Azov Battalion in their attacks on the Donbass border during the Munich Security Conference (18-20 February 2022). The Azov fighters were joined by foreign fighters, including several jihadists from Syria. They had attacked the water and energy supply to the two regions, prompting an exodus of at least 70 000 Donbass residents.
At least 700 000 of the 4,6 million Donbass inhabitants already have a Russian passport, while 500 000 more have applied to obtain Russian citizenship.
Russian Defense Minister Shoigu underscored the presence of 60 000 Ukrainian soldiers at the border of the DNR and LNR together with more than 500 tanks and artillery. The Ukrainian president Zelensky has announced that his country would leave the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances which had stopped them from rebuilding nuclear bombs. Because Ukraine has the knowledge and means to do so, Shoigu said that the latest developments were extremely dangerous.
Although the head of Russia’s foreign intelligence service, Sergey Naryshkin, said the two regions should be integrated into Russia, the Russian leader rejected the idea. The discussion was broadcast live on RT.
Last week the Russian parliament submitted a resolution to recognise the People’s Republic of Donetsk (DNR) and Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR) as independent states. The DNR and LNR made a formal official request to recognize their republics this week.
After Russian President Vladimir Putin officially recognised the two People’s Republics on Monday evening, there were spontaneous outbursts of joy on the streets of Donetsk. On Twitter, one commenter wrote about the cheerful residents: “It is quite obvious that Donetsk and Lugansk do NOT want to be part of Ukraine. Do peoples only have a right to self-determination if they fulfill US geopolitical ambitions?”
If Ukraine continues its war on the innocent civilians in Donbass, Russia has now laid the groundwork to respond with force.
American arms deliveries have meanwhile been flooding into Ukraine.

NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s
CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.
European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections
EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.

Swedish Weapon Takes Down Russia’s Best Attack Helicopter
The Russian attack helicopter Ka-52 is considered one of the world's best and has struck fear in Ukraine, where it has hunted down tanks and other armored vehicles, often beyond the range of many light anti-aircraft systems. However, it has met its match in the Swedish air defense missile system RBS 70, which has quickly led to significant losses for the Russian helicopter forces.
The Sun Drives Earth’s Climate, Not Carbon Dioxide
Top Researchers Push Back Against Climate Lies."The correlation is as clear as day," explained the Israeli astrophysicist Nir Shaviv, who was hailed by the establishment, before his interview with Forbes was hastily deleted. What he says contradicts the climate narrative, which points to humans as responsible for Earth's climate. Shaviv firmly asserts that it is the sun that controls the climate, something that can be scientifically proven in many ways. Contrary to the popular belief, the sun's influence on Earth has, in recent years, caused unusually cold and rainy weather, a trend that solar researchers warn will worsen significantly in the coming decades. The sun has exhibited an unusually low activity since 2016, during Solar Cycle 24, which was the weakest in a century.
Strong Confidence in German AfD
Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year. EU Parliament member Maximilian Krah, belonging to the party's more radical, ethnonationalist faction, was appointed as the top candidate. The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.
The Establishment Wants to Ban Germany’s Second Largest Party – for the Sake of Democracy
The rising popularity of AfD has raised strong concerns within the establishment. Despite lies and demonization in the media and isolation from the overall political establishment, the party continues to grow. Certain representatives of the party are accused of becoming increasingly "extreme," and in an unusual move, the influential weekly newspaper Der Spiegel demanded that AfD be "banned."
