Conflict in Donbass heats up as NATO troops allegedly killed
On 17 May, a group of NATO troops from the US and Canada suffered casualties and injuries in a landmine explosion near Avdeyevka, according to DPR reports.

Special mission chief monitor to Ukraine, for the Organisation for Security and Co-operation (OSCE), Alexander Hug left the conflict zone on Thursday due to a “serious deterioration of the security situation,” AFP reported.
The Canadian Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces meanwhile told CTV News that there were no Canadians injured or killed as part of a NATO deployment in Ukraine.
A Russian-language website reported that three NATO servicemen from Canada were killed by a landmine near Avdeyevka, a Ukrainian community near the Russian border and that two American soldiers were injured in the same blast.
Rossiiskaiia Gazeta, the official organ of the Government of the Russian Federation, shared the news. “The Ukrainian command intends passing off this accident as an attack committed by our reconnaissance unit,” the separatists said in a statement.
The DPR’s military intelligence reported at least two days before the minefield explosion that the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ command had been busy preparing a provocation involving NATO troops. It seems that the Canadians were deliberately sent into the minefield to blame Western troop deaths on DPR military sabotage, spokesman for the Donetsk People’s Republic’s army, Eduard Basurin told reporters.
NATO troops are not officially supposed to be in Donbass, but are undeniably, directly involved in the armed conflict, according to Basurin.
“According to our information, a team of foreign inspectors who arrived in the conflict zone in Donbass on April 15 is a key cause of the deterioration of the situation at the contact line,” the Donetsk News Agency reported.
According to Basurin, aggravation is observed exactly at those contact line sections where inspectors are deployed. He said that evidence was being collected to prove NATO’s involvement in military crimes committed by the Ukrainian army.
Ukrainian and separatist forces reported casualties over the last week as heavy weapons, once removed under the Minsk accords, were redeployed by Kiev. Separatists reported two dead and one wounded from Ukrainian army shelling in the village of Gorlivka, while Ukrainian forces reported being attacked with Grad rocket launchers, with at least seven casualties.
Civilians were also killed and wounded in the village of Troitsky in Luhansk.
The Trump administration has cleared large-caliber sniper rifles, and Javelin anti-tank missiles among other supplies to Kiev. Additional sanctions have also been applied on Russian citizens and entities over the bogus Skripal poisoning, and alleged Russian cyber efforts.
Ukraine recently declared the conflict had moved from an “anti-terrorist” operation, to a war for territorial integrity against another state. Kiev is also furious about the completion of the Kerch Strait bridge linking Russia to Crimea, repeating accusations against Russia of an “annexation” of Crimea.
But Crimea has been part of Russia before the USA even existed as a country and it has been a part of the Byzantine-Russian space half a millennium before Columbus set out on his discoveries.

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.

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."
