French senators left Ukraine in horror: an international scandal is coming
Direct translation of the article. Edited
by Nikita Frolov

[Rusvesna] In May, French senators visited Kiev. They probably wanted to see that Ukraine is making leaps and bounds towards holy democracy and tolerance, but everything turned out to be quite the opposite.

Now the French Senate is on its ears, because either the diplomatic relations of the countries will sink into oblivion, or the head of the country's Foreign Ministry admits that Nazism is normal. But first things first.

Senators Jean-Pierre Maug, Natalie Gulet and Joel Gerriot are members of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the French Senate. They arrived in Kiev, were stunned, went home and now "cut off the phone" to the French Foreign Minister, demanding his speech on the Ukrainian issue.

The French were shocked by the fact that in the center of the Ukrainian capital there are Azov tents, where you can buy documents of the dead Nazis, join a battalion and shoot from a Kalashnikov assault rifle.

All this takes place right on the Andreevsky Spusk.

At the same time, the Ukrainian authorities do nothing about it. Nazi propaganda is in full swing in the capital, but everyone doesn't care.

These actions are extremely alarming, and I would like to know what is the position of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on this issue and what measures it intends to take to avoid the spread of this deadly ideology," written in the request of the French senators.

According to French political scientist Omar Arfush, the senators were shocked by what they saw in Kiev. They filmed everything and sent a request to French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian. Now he is obliged to answer, and his answer will become the official position of the country.

And now let us remember that Roman Protasevich, who was detained in Minsk, served in "Azov" , and in fact he is so supported by the Western world. In addition, a meeting between the President of the United States and the French leader will soon take place. Later, a personal dialogue between Vladimir Putin
...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances...
and Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. The very model of propity....
is also planned.

"If the Foreign Minister refuses to recognize the activities of neo-Nazi
...adherents of a philosophy that was seen even at the time as pure evil, which makes them either consciously and purely evil, or attention-seeking ratbags. Pick one, or both....
groups in Ukraine at a Senate meeting, the authors of the request will oppose him. If he immediately expresses concern about the situation in Ukraine, then this can affect the entire policy towards Ukraine," Arfush said.

The French senators created a very delicate situation, but, importantly, they did not ignore what was happening. Especially considering that there are more and more Nazi scandals in Ukraine. For example, on May 9, a representative of the nationalist organization C14 "zigged" when a veteran passed by .

The authorities blamed not a young neo-Nazi for this, but the journalists of the Strana newspaper - they say, they all provoked it. And only after the story spread in the media, a protocol was drawn up for the guy.

So there is definitely a problem with the spread of neo-Nazi ideology in Ukraine. Let's see how this will affect the attitude of the "square" with La Belle France.

Not much of a scandal so far:
A group of French senators demanded that official Gay Paree respond appropriately to the spread of neo-Nazism in Ukraine and stop its spread. About this writes the newspaper "Strana.ua", which provided a copy of the statement.

Members of the French Senate Foreign Relations Committee Natalie Goulet, Jean-Pierre Mogue and Joelle Guerriot visited Kiev in late May and were angry that Nazi symbols were openly exchanged in the city center and enlisted in the Azov battalion. , known for encouraging neo-Nazi sentiments (the organization was banned in Russia — approx. "Lenta.ru").

Senators also point out that such associations are developing more and more active activities "with firearms, practices of assembling and disassembling Kalashnikov assault rifles and promotional services." French politicians are appalled by the growing number of white supremacist militias inciting attacks across Europe.

They have sent a request to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and, according to the source of the publication, intend to ensure that the condemnation of neo-Nazi groups in Ukraine becomes the official position of La Belle France. "I would like to know what measures the ministry intends to take to prevent the spread of this deadly ideology," the senators said in a statement.

The Azov battalion was formed as a volunteer in May 2014, immediately after the outbreak of the armed conflict in southeastern Ukraine. Initially secondary to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, now it is a special unit as part of the National Guard of Ukraine.

#1  The French were shocked by the fact that in the center of the Ukrainian capital there are Azov tents, where you can buy documents of the dead Nazis, join a battalion and shoot from a Kalashnikov assault rifle.

Yeah so, the Uke Circus was in town, your handlers didn't want you to miss it.

The French have turned into such "soft boys" since Lom & Sellars died, just no masculinity left in France... It's OK sweet boys, the islamist will be the majority in less than 17 years, you won't be in charge then, , go back to the Ukraine and enjoy the circus.

#2  ...Sadly, this reinforces something historians have said since 1945: Had the actual Nazis had even a clue, they would have presented and conducted themselves as liberators and allies in the Ukraine and not treated them as Untermenschen. Had they done so, Soviet survival - far from a sure thing - would have been an iffy proposition at best.

And even with the way things turned out historically, the Ukraine seems to have still embraced way too much of the NDSAP's policies than would be good for any civilized nation.

Whatever's going on there is bad. If it's not controlled quickly, it could be lots, lots worse.

"The French were shocked...."
Didn't the French leadership (Vichy France) during WWII help the NAZI's to save and enrich their own A$$'s?

Didn't they send 75,000 +/- JEWS to death camps ?

Having lost an brother there in the very WWII early weeks hedge war fighting and who is buried there. My Father was bitter towards the French to say the least and he often said "The French they fight with their Feet and F___ with their faces."

#5  Weird. Open allegiance to Hitler and his ideals never bothers the French when it's Arabs doing it.

#6  Ukraine is an odd country. Side by side with the neo-Nazi racist nonsense they elected a Jewish comedian/actor/producer/banker as president in 2019 with 73% of the vote. He followed this by holding a snap election for parliament, which gave his brand new, no-seat party a majority of the seats.

Russia needs the dollar, says Putin
Direct Translation of the article
[REGNUM] Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia does not intend to completely abandon the US dollar as the world's reserve currency or universal means of payment. The Russian leader said this in an interview with the heads of world news agencies at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

“If you heard something that I’m saying something about the dollar and understood that we want to get rid of it as a reserve currency or as a universal means of payment, this is not the case, ” Vladimir Putin said.

The Russian leader explained that he was talking about the use of the US dollar by the US authorities as various kinds of sanctions. For example, Russia cannot make dollar payments with its partners in the field of military-technical cooperation, since American sanctions have been imposed on this.

That is why Russia is forced to switch to settlements in other currencies, and not at all because it wants to.

“They are forcing us to do this, our American partners. We do not deliberately leave, we have to do it, ”Putin explained.

Russian financial relations with partners outside the dollar zone are forced to develop.

Putin stressed that by such actions, the US authorities harm themselves, since the whole world sees that settlements in dollars are unreliable. Therefore, the volume of settlements in dollars on a global scale is decreasing.
