The Nobel Prize Committee has decided to invite operatives of the genocidal Russian regime – under the guise of “diplomats” – to a banquet.
This act of moral stupidity is an outrage to Ukrainians, Crimean Tatars and millions of people who suffer immeasurably from Russia’s war.
I consider the invitation of ambassadors of Iran, Russia&Belarus to Nobel banquet a mistake. Nothing has changed since last year. RU didn’t abandon its imperial ambitions to seize UA. RU continues to kill people & commit war crimes. Shaking hands with evil will not bring any good
Instead of a thousand words.
Margo stands in front of her school, destroyed by Russia.
1st September is the start of the school year in Ukraine. For so many kids, learning is very different now.

I see, the fact that China officially releases a map that claims Russian and Indian territories tell me a lot about how great and awesome BRICS is as a global alternative to imperialist West.
On August 29th 2014 a humanitarian corridor was established for Ukrainian volunteers, medics and soldiers to surrender and leave besieged Ilovaisk (Donetsk region)
As they entered the first kilometre under this flag, russian artillery opened fire. 400 people were murdered
Russian missiles killed two people in Kyiv tonight. For most people around the world, it might not seem like such a big deal. Two people. But to me it seems absurd. Two people. Two lives. Two whole human universes snuffed out of existence tonight, and for what? For nothing more than Russia’s nihilistic madness. It’s easy to get adjusted to war as a way of life, to just accept the daily death toll as the new status quo. But when you step back from it and try to remember your mindset on Feb. 23, 2022, you remember just how insane it truly is that Russia goes on arbitrarily murdering Ukrainian citizens every day, and how that’s the way of things these days. And then you realize how little the world has changed from its darkest hours in world war 2, and that we let it happen again.

"Children’s shoes for sale. Never worn.”
Russian Telegram channel mocks the death of six-year-old Sophia Holynska who was killed in Russia's missile strike on Chernihiv yesterday.
The post has nearly 47,000 "laughing" reactions from Russian social media users.
The popular administrative and company register scam, is to de-register the brand name and holding company, “selling” their business to a local company - with a buy-back clause, another example being McDonalds. It’s called a feint, being a corporate whitewashing ruse and deceitful publicity scam.
What is key here though is that the brand remains, so too the servicing and parts, indicating a strong revenue stream right back to the holding company in Germany. Whether or not the cars will continue to be manufactured in Russia under licence or imported is irrelevant to the point that Skoda and Volkswagen are sold, serviced and parts supplied to a russian business - which will have a taxation component that will fund the murderous regime’s coffers.
Skoda and Volkswagen have tried to FOOL the world with a SHAM exit from Russia. Business resumes supporting #Genocide under a “new name” - with 2023/24 models now available for sale.
In March 2022, VW announced in March that production at its Kaluga and Nizhny Novgorod sites would be suspended until further notice amid Western sanctions, and vehicle exports to Russia would be stopped with immediate effect.
In May 2022, a Skoda Board member said “We will stop producing cars in Russia by the end of the year. We don’t know what will happen next. We have to wait and see what happens next,” Michael Oeljeklaus, Škoda Auto Board Member for Production and Logistics, told iDNES in May. “We decide together. Such a big decision cannot be made by the Škoda Auto brand alone,” he commented on the decision on the future of production in Russia.
In July 2022 they announced that “output to end” at their Russian plant, GAZ's factory in Nizhny Novgorod - citing it was not getting enough parts to continue assembling cars for the German automaker.
In March 2023, Skoda has announced that it is close to completing a deal that will see all of its assets in Russia sold. Parent company #Volkswagen Group suspended exports of cars to Russia and all operations in #Russia following the country’s invasion of Ukraine in March 2022. That included pausing production of the Skoda Rapid model at its Kaluga plant and ending operations at the Gaz automotive plant in Nizhny Novgorod, which had produced the Octavia, Karoq and Kodiaq models under contract since 2011.
In June 2023, Moscow, June 21, 2023 – It announced: “Volkswagen Group Rus LLC announces a change of name to AGR LLC / AGR Automotive Group. After the renaming, the company will continue its activities in the Russian market, and will also carry out a full-scale rebranding. The name change was the first step in the transformation and restart of the business after the transfer of assets to a new owner. In May, the Volkswagen concern transferred all its shares in Volkswagen Group Rus LLC and its local subsidiaries to Art-Finance LLC.
The rebranding will affect the corporate identity of the company, visual identification, as well as the company's dealer network, which currently includes more than 400 enterprises. AGR LLC will continue to sell cars and spare parts, and a professional team with many years of experience in the automotive business will continue to work to ensure that the company's customers have access to the widest possible range of models and quality service.”
In August 2023 it announced quietly to it’s customers via Telegram..
“Dear friends,
We are pleased to announce that Volkswagen Group Rus LLC continues its activities under the new name of AGR Automotive Group.
#ŠKODA dealerships continue to work for you!
We have a lot of interesting things ahead of us!
