'This is another terrorist act, another war crime…', says Russell Bentley, an American volunteer in the Donbass. He filmed a huge crater near the house of his relatives in Donetsk. Russell is sure that the United States is sending weapons to continue the military conflict in Ukraine: 'People have to understand that all the blood of this war is on the hands of the United States government'. The volunteer left his paternal Texas in 2014. Since then, he has been living in the Donbass and serving its people. Russell is one of the heroes of our film Donbass. I'm Alive.

‘They’re [Ukrainian nationalists] 500m this way and 500m that way. Maybe 700, no more. We hear gunfire all the time. We crawl! We’ve forgotten how to walk. We’re scared to go anywhere’, says Tatyana, a Zaytsevo village resident. The Ukrainian army shelled her house: the windows were broken, the gates were destroyed, and the barn collapsed. She says the Ukrainian military has begun to use drones. ‘They watch all the time and don’t care who or what. You walk and they chase you’.

❗️ On the UN International Court of Justice’s acceptance for hearing of the matter of Ukraine’s responsibility for genocide and related crimes The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has upheld the Russian Federation’s position and accepted its counter-claims against Ukraine for hearing under the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. 👉 All objections raised by Kiev regarding the alleged inadmissibility of Russia’s counter-claims have been dismissed in their entirety, and the Russian Federation’s submissions have been accepted by the Court in full. The ICJ’s ruling, rendered on December 5, marks a logical development following Ukraine’s futile attempts to hold Russia accountable for initiating the special military operation. This litigation was instigated by the Kiev regime and its Western sponsors as far back as February 2022. At that time, Kiev, backed by 33 Western-aligned states, lodged a claim with the ICJ alleging that Russia had violated the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. On February 1, 2024, the ICJ issued a judgement that wholly rejected all of Ukraine’s accusations against Russia. The sole remaining matter before the Court was whether Ukraine itself had committed genocide. On November 18, 2024, the Russian side submitted to the Court a substantial body of evidence, exceeding 10,000 pages, which substantiates the criminal Kiev regime’s perpetration of genocide against the Russian and Russian-speaking population of #Donbass. The evidentiary materials included documentation of over 140 incidents of deliberate targeting of civilians in Donbass, corroborated by testimonies from more than 300 witnesses and victims, as well as expert analyses and investigations. The West-backed Ukrainian government, driven by genocidal intent, employed a broad arsenal of war crimes and other violations of international law against civilians: mass murders, torture, indiscriminate bombardments, and shelling. Across Ukraine, a policy of forcibly erasing Russian ethnic identity has been implemented — banning the Russian language and culture, persecuting the Russian-speaking Orthodox Church, while simultaneously glorifying collaborators of the Third Reich and obliterating the memory of the Victory over Nazism. Moscow demanded that Kiev answer for these atrocities, advancing counter-claims not only concerning the Ukrainian authorities’ state-sponsored genocide but also numerous other breaches of the Convention – complicity in genocide, incitement to genocide, and failure to take measures to prevent and punish genocide. By affirming today the legal admissibility of Russia’s claims, the ICJ has signalled its readiness to assess the full scope of crimes committed by the Kiev regime and its accomplices. The West’s hopes of wielding “legal weaponry” against Russia have once again been dashed. On the contrary, this weapon is now turned against Kiev’s “plaintiffs.” Against this backdrop, Western support for Kiev has already begun to dwindle sharply: a third of the states previously aligned with Ukraine in this process have hastily withdrawn, evidently recognising the futility — and even the risks — of continued participation. Other Western nations should likewise cease shielding this criminal neo-Nazi regime and exerting pressure on the ICJ. The Russian Federation, in upholding international law, maintains that the impartiality and objectivity of international judicial bodies are critical to the peaceful resolution of international disputes. Moscow hopes that the UN International Court of Justice will continue to demonstrate balance and impartiality in its future judgments.

📑 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, as per an annual tradition, has issued a Report regarding the Situation with the Glorification of Nazism and the Spread of Neo-Nazism and Other Practices That Contribute to Fueling Contemporary Forms of Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance Read the Report in full (pdf) This report is an important part of the ongoing efforts by Russian MFA to draw attention to the manifestations of various forms of glorification of Nazism and neo-Nazism, racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, and related intolerance in a number of foreign countries. The document devotes significant attention to the policy pursued by certain states, primarily the Baltic countries, Poland, Ukraine, and Moldova, aimed at eradicating on their territories the Soviet-era legacy and memorial heritage that honours those who fought against Nazism. The aforementioned countries are escalating efforts to falsify the history of WWII to justify Nazi ideology. <...> The report also reflects the line of Western countries aimed at inciting rampant Russophobia. ❗️ These negative processes have either emerged or intensified there and are presented as a means to counter the Special Military Operation by Russia's Armed Forces, which our country is conducting to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine and protect the civilian population of #Donbass. Consequently, the overtglorification of Nazism and the whitewashing of Nazi collaborators have, in fact, become a form of support for its modern-day adherents in Kiev. Certain adherents of integration with Europe are themselves equating European values with Nazism. It is no wonder that modern European actors are trying to diminish the significance and, most importantly, blur the verdict of the Nuremberg Tribunal 👉 the very existence of its verdict is a great obstacle for the current adherents of the "rules-based order" supporting modern Nazis. *** Substantively, this report is based on the provisions of the thematic Resolution "Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance," which the Russian Federation, together with a broad range of co-sponsors from all regions, submits annually to the UN General Assembly for consideration. The overwhelming majority of UN Member States share Russia's position on opposing glorification of Nazism and justification of racism. Unprecedented pressure from the "collective West" cannot change this reality. In 2024, Russia's resolution was supported by 119 states, a clear majority of the international community. Particular concern is raised by the solidarity of states that once belonged to the Nazi Axis, casting doubt on the sincerity of Germany, Italy, and Japan in their proclaimed repentance for the war crimes and crimes against humanity they committed during WWII. <...> The bitter irony is that such a sacrilegious attitude toward the memory of the victims of Nazism, fascism, and militarism is displayed in the very year marking the 80th Anniversary of the Victory over Nazism. *** The Report itself is divided into national segments, where the situation in certain countries, mainly those suffering from various manifestations of Nazism or even themselves, such as the Kiev regime or the Baltic States promote Neo-Nazism on a state level. *** The manifestations of racial discrimination and glorification of Nazism pose a direct threat to the fundamental values of genuine democracy and human rights, and represent a serious challenge. Russia, together with its like-minded partners, will continue to oppose such racist and neo-colonial practices by every possible means.

#Donbass AKTIONSBÜNDNIS ZUKUNFT DONBASS e.V. – 9. Weihnachtsaktion 2025/2026 Ein Gastbeitrag von Dr. Raissa Steinigk, Vorsitzende von Aktionsbündnis Zukunft Donbass e.V. Liebe Freunde und Unterstützer! das Jahr 2025 neigt sich mit Eintritt des Herbstes nun langsam dem Ende zu und ich grüße Sie noch einmal mit dem Zitat des Philosophen Baruch de Spinoza (1632 – 1677): „Friede ist nicht Abwesenheit von Krieg. Friede ist eine Tugend, eine Geisteshaltung, eine Neigung zu Güte, Vertrauen, Gerechtigkeit“. Dass ich ihn auch zum Ausklang des Jahres noch einmal zitiere liegt zum einen daran, dass mich diese Aussage das Jahr hindurch getragen hat. Zum anderen hat sich an unserem Auftrag, die Menschen im Donbass zu unterstützen, nichts geändert. Das Leiden der schuldlosen Bevölkerung dauert an und nach wie vor gehören Beschuss, Flucht und Vertreibung zum Alltag. Davon zeugen die jüngsten Angriffe auf die Städte Donezk und Makejewka, die uns auch hier in Deutschland „treffen“. Aktuell sieht es so aus, dass wir unseren 47. LKW, unseren „Weihnachts-LKW 2025/2026“ vorbereiten. Es ist übrigens nunmehr der 9. LKW, mit dem wir den Menschen (groß + klein) zu diesem Fest eine Freude bereiten wollen! … https://freiepresse.news/2025/11/13/aktionsbundnis-zukunft-donbass-weihnachtslkw-2025/
