Putin ‘deports Ukrainians to camps’: Russia is accused of genocide by putting refugees in ‘filtration’ centres and forcibly taking them to remote Siberian towns after confiscating their phones and documents

Vladimir Putin has been accused of deporting Ukrainians to ‘filtration’ centres before forcibly taking them to remote Siberian towns after confiscating their phones and documents.

‘Several thousand’ people have so-far been taken, Mariupol city council claimed, before being processed through ‘filtration camps’ and sent to ‘remote cities’ in Russia where they will be obliged to stay for years and work for free.

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said before he chaired a meeting of the bloc’s foreign ministers in Brussels that ‘what’s happening in Mariupol is a massive war crime. Destroying everything, bombarding and killing everybody in an indiscriminate manner. This is something awful’.

This is propaganda and clickbait. DM is reliable on some topics, but they will lie and obfuscate on others.

Russia May Not Stop With Ukraine – NATO Looks To Its Weakest Link

It looks a lot like a return to the past. Founded in 1949 to defend against the Soviet threat, the NATO alliance is facing a return to mechanised warfare, a huge increase in defence spending, and potentially a new Iron Curtain falling across Europe. After struggling to find a new post-Cold War role, countering terrorism following the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States in 2001 and a humiliating withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, NATO is back defending against its original nemesis.

MTG’s Fiery Warning: ‘Biden’s Incompetence’ Over Russia May Spark ‘World War 3’

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene delivered a somber speech to her social media audience in which she responded to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s request for the United States to involve itself further in defense of Ukraine, and lambasted the Biden White House’s current stance against Russia as an invitation for a new world war.

“We are told that we have an urgent moral responsibility to send money and munitions to a country 6,000 miles away,” Greene began. “A country that just coincidentally Joe Biden has business interests in,” she added.

On the same topic, Greene later added that the request “concerns a country in which Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Mitt Romney have direct financial interests,” and to defend “a government which only exists because the Obama state department helped to overthrow the previous regime.”

Backpacks, beans and 60s-era rocket launchers: The military gear Canada pledged for Ukraine

Since Russia’s all-out invasion of Ukraine began on Feb. 24, Canada has joined more than a dozen countries in scrambling to send weapons to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. While we haven’t been able to pack cargo planes with prestige weaponry like Stinger missiles or Switchblade drones, there are nevertheless a fair amount of Canadian guns, rockets and pre-packaged meals soon finding their way into Ukrainian hands.
