Reporting from the Oscars, Democracy Now! profiled the Oscar-winning documentary “Mr Nobody Against Putin.” It's about, in DN's words, "how ordinary Russians are indoctrinated with pro-war messages." One of the questions DN asks of the main Russian character is: "Why do you see Lady Gaga singing the U.S. national... show more

🇷🇺 PUTIN SLAMS NATO CHIEF: “ARE YOU PREPARING FOR WAR THAT EVEN THE U.S. DIDN’T DECLARE?” Putin has launched a direct attack on incoming NATO chief Rutte, accusing him of stoking unnecessary conflict and preparing for a war that the U.S. itself hasn’t declared. Pointing to the latest U.S. National Security Strategy, Putin argued that Washington does not officially label Russia as an enemy, raising sharp questions about why NATO leaders continue escalating their rhetoric. "I really want to ask [to Rutte]. What are you talking about? A war with Russia? They want to prepare a war with Russia. Do you even know how to read? Read the new US national security strategy. What does it say? The USA is the creator of NATO, the main sponsor. In the new national security strategy, Russia is not indicated as an enemy, as a target, and the NATO chief is preparing a war with us. What is this?" Source: Visegrad24

Putin to Rutte: "What are you talking about when you talk about preparing for war with Russia. Can you read? Have you read the US National Security Strategy? It doesn't mention Russia as an adversary. US is the main backer of NATO. And yet the General Secretary of NATO is preparing it for war? It's just a lack of basic professional competence."

Putin to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte: What nonsense is he saying? I'd really like to ask him: Listen, what are you saying about a war with Russia? You can read, right? Then read the new US National Security strategy. The USA is the key player in NATO, the main sponsor of NATO. Russia is not mentioned as an enemy [in the new security strategy]. But NATO Secretary General is getting ready for a war with us. What is that? You can read, can't you? How are you targeting NATO for a war with Russia if the main NATO country does not see us as an adversary and an enemy?

President Zelenskyy: Ukraine did not choose this war and it's wrong to assume that this is a permanent arrangement that others can stay safe behind Ukraine forever. Ukrainians are people, not terminators. That is why we are doing everything to stop this war and to guarantee security. But the problem is this. Putin is no longer interested in anything else. Putin does not live like ordinary people. He doesn't walk the streets. You will not see him in a cafe. Putin consults more with Tsar Peter and Empress Catherine about territorial gains than with any living person about real, real life. Can you imagine Putin without war? Be honest. Right now his focus is on Ukraine and no one in Ukraine believes he will ever let our people go. But he will not let other European nations go either because he cannot let go of the very idea of war. He may see himself as a Tsar but in reality he is a slave to war.

KASPAROV: "Putin is war. He makes no secret about his plans. If you look at Russian propaganda, economy, social life, every element of Russia today, it’s all war. War became the oxygen that people breathe in Russia. The propaganda 24/7 is not just about winning against Ukraine - it’s ideological revenge against the free world for what Putin believes was the loss in the Cold War. Russia today is a continuation of the Russian Empire. We’re not dealing with a return of the Soviet Union. It’s a much more powerful virus that has been mutating over centuries - the crazy idea of a Russian Empire that is driving Putin into this endless war."

Vladimir Putin: “I want ordinary Western people to hear me: you are being told that your current issues are the result of Russia, and that you have to pay to counter the alleged Russian threat from your own pockets. All of that is a lie.“ Do you agree with Putin on this?

“putin started the war and is the only person who can end it.” - Vitali Klitschko, current Mayor of Kyiv. “One person in the world can stop this war. The same person who started this war. I'm talking about the President of Russia, putin. putin can easily stop this senseless war. And Russians accept just strong position. If you’re weak, they never ever pay attention to you. And that’s why we have to be strong on the frontline, we have to be strong inside the country, we have to be strong together with our partners. Why? Because with partners, we are times stronger. And that way it's very important, unity around Ukraine. Unity for the democratic world, for a European country, stability of one of the largest countries in Europe can bring stability in the whole region, and that way from peace in Ukraine depends the future of Europe. I hope everyone understands that. We are fighting and defending not just our homeland, we are defending every one of you. This will be the biggest mistake to see the war as far away. It doesn't touch me personally, it's the biggest mistake. This war actually touched everyone in Ukraine, millions of people. Already touched a lot of people in Europe. And also, it's not secret, the goal, goal of putin is to rebuild the Soviet Empire. They never accept Ukraine as an independent country. They told Ukraine was always part of the Russian Empire. Exactly the same about Baltic countries, about Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia.” (TVP World)

Congratulations to everyone involved in 'Mr. Nobody Against Putin' on winning the Oscar for Best Documentary. If you haven’t seen it yet, you should. It’s an extraordinarily insightful film that shows exactly how dictatorships sink their claws into institutions and use them to shape everyday life under their rule. It exposes the true depth and reach of Putin’s propaganda in Russian society. Countering propaganda is one of the most important parts of our work, and few films have done more in this fight than 'Mr. Nobody Against Putin.' Putin’s propaganda is a weapon, perhaps even more dangerous than nuclear arms. It is the fuel driving the war against Ukraine. This is a phenomenal achievement by Pavel Talankin, David Borenstein, and everyone else involved. I’m proud that one of my foundations supported the film's impact campaign and its awards and festival promotion, helping it reach the widest possible audience. Mr. Nobody Against Putin is one of the most important anti-war statements of our time. The Oscar and the BAFTA were both richly deserved.

Zurich Film Festival (Zurich Film Festival) plans to show a "documentary" filmed by Russian propaganda veteran Anastasia Trofimova. "Russians at War" contains interviews with Russian soldiers fighting against Ukraine. The movie was shot illegally in the occupied territories. It aims to whitewash Russian crimes and portray those who are conducting the biggest war in Europe since World War II as "ordinary people." But this is what "Russians at war" really means. They kill, rape, destroy. There should be no stage and no platform for Russian propaganda to have a voice.

Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry: When you go to war, you go to war hopefully with the support of your people. You have a defined threat. You have a clarity as to why you need to go to war. In this case, you have a war that is essentially fulfilling the long-held dream of Netanyahu to do as much damage to Iran as he is permitted to.

Deputy Prime Minister of Canada Chrystia Freeland today commenting about the documentary. “There is a film that is due to be screened at Tiff today in Toronto about Russian soldiers at War. Ukrainian diplomats and the Ukrainian Canadian Community have expressed really grave concerns about that film and I do want to say I share those concerns. We have to be really clear that this is a war where there is no moral equivalency this is a war of Russian aggression this is a war where Russia is breaking international law and committing war crimes. There is very clearly good and evil in this war. Ukrainians are fighting for their sovereignty and for democracy around the world and we as a country have to be very, very clear that there can be no moral equivalency in our understanding of this conflict. It's not right for Canadian public money to be supporting the screening and production of a film like this.”

🚨 The Russians are in the Process of Winning the War. Professor John Mearsheimer: The Russians are in the process of winning the war. First of all, if you look at what's happening on the battlefield, the Russians are moving forward, slowly for sure, but moving forward steadily. Surely by the end of the year they will control all of Donbas. I think more importantly at the moment, if you look at the Russian bombing campaign against Odesa, they have basically cut off Odesa from Ukraine. Ukraine no longer has a port on the Black Sea, and this is having devastating consequences, and it certainly will have devastating consequences over the long term inside of Ukraine. Ukraine needs Odesa. It needs it to sell its wheat and to import all sorts of goods and weaponry, but that's no longer possible. So I think that the Russians are in the driver's seat here, and all this talk in the West about how the Ukrainians have turned the tide campaign, much like the campaign that we hear vis-à-vis the war in Iran. You remember all the rosy stories that were told about how we were winning in, the war in Ukraine and how the Ukrainians are winning the war against Russia. These are just propaganda campaigns, and they bear little reality to what's happening on the actual battlefield.

As an American in Russia, I thought I would receive some negative reactions, but it has been the opposite. In fact, one of the main differences between Russians and Americans is how they treat foreigners from so called “unfriendly countries.” An Iranian in the USA won’t get the same treatment as an Italian. But in Russia, nobody cares. They care about who you are as a person, not where you come from. I have heard many Americans say how shocked they are with Russia’s friendliness, even with all the sanctions the U.S. has imposed. So Americans, Europeans, Africans, and whoever else, come visit Russia! You’ll be welcomed with open arms. #sashaganda
