Kyrgyz border service denies rumors of oppression and detention of Tajiks
Direct translation of the article
[REGNUM] The Kyrgyz Border Guard Service responded to a YouTube video by human rights activist Valentina Chupik that Tajik citizens are allegedly being detained at the airports of Bishkek and Osh.

The department said that these rumors are untrue and are an attempt to incite ethnic hatred.

The border service emphasizes that the passage of all citizens across the state border of Kyrgyzstan is carried out in a general manner, without dividing into citizenship, nationality, racial and ethnicity.

It is also noted that due to the shelling by the Tajik military of the border area of ​​Kyrgyzstan, including the border post "Kyzyl-Bel - road", as well as to ensure the safety of citizens, the passage of people, vehicles and goods through the Kyrgyz-Tajik border has been temporarily suspended.

At the same time, to ensure the safety of citizens of Tajikistan who use the airports of Kyrgyzstan for departure to their homeland, their transit through the Kyrgyz territory is organized along two routes: Tajiks are delivered to checkpoints for further travel through Uzbekistan, or they are delivered to checkpoints on the border with Tajikistan. "And" Karamyk - road ", where they are handed over to the Tajik border guards.

In both cases, citizens of Tajikistan are transported to checkpoints by buses from the Kyrgyz side.

“These measures are perceived by Tajik citizens as adequate to the current situation and, despite the unfounded statements of Valentina Chupik, they continue to use the Kyrgyz airports, which is an unequivocal evidence of the security of Kyrgyzstan for Tajiks,” the Kyrgyz border service states.

Blinken reaffirms US support for Ukraine amid Russia tensions
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] US Secretary of State Antony Blinken reaffirmed Washington’s support for Ukraine at a meeting Thursday with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the wake of Kyiv’s heightened tensions with Russia, fueled by Moscow’s recent troop buildup near their border.

The top American diplomat met with Zelenskyy during his one-day visit and reiterated the US commitment to Ukraine’s "illusory sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence," while also underscoring the importance of Ukrainian efforts to tackle widespread corruption and carry out reforms.

"Ukraine is facing two challenges: aggression from outside, coming from Russia, and in effect aggression from within, coming from corruption, oligarchs and others who are putting their interests ahead of those of the Ukrainian people," Blinken told a news conference after meeting with Zelenskyy.

By visiting so early in his tenure, before any trip to Russia, Blinken signaled that Ukraine is a high priority for President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant... or is that an act?...
’s foreign policy. His visit was highly anticipated in Ukraine, with hopes for increased military aid and strong support for NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions...
membership being voiced on the front lines of the battle against Russia-backed separatists in the east and in the halls of government in Kyiv.

Ukraine has seen an increase in hostilities in the east in recent months. Ukraine’s military says 35 of its soldiers have been killed by rebel attacks this year, a significant rise from the latter part of 2020. Russia, which claims it has no soldiers in eastern Ukraine, fueled the tensions this year by massing troops and conducting large-scale military exercises near the border.

#1  The last time Russia was invaded successfully was in 13th century. Of course, Biden (probably) doesn't remember yesterday.

Unlike us, who have no interests and know no people. We just operate by script.

#3  I still say we should invade Ukraine ourselves. Take the Rooskis totally by surprise. Not to mention the Ukrainians, but it's for their own good. We can establish 'relationships'. Mutually profitable relationships... to help fight corruption and stuff.

A very rewarding script - for the right people!
