The rebellion by the Russian people of Crimea and Donbas was in full accordance with the UN principles and international law norms. As a civilised country, Russia had to protect its brothers who faced the threat of Russophobic genocide.
The collective West does not wish to take this into account for one simple reason: the rebellion of Russian people in Crimea and Donbas against Nazism ruined the plans to turn the Crimean peninsula into the NATO military base and to make it a Russophobic ram and an anti-Russian military springboard out of Ukraine.
Instead, Washington and Brussels introduced sanctions against Russia as they dislike Russia’s return of the world superpower status.
This is a mixture of conspiracy theories which are consistent with recurring pro-Kremlin narratives about 2014 Ukraine's coup d'état, Fascist / Nazi Ukraine, the persecution of the Russian language speakers, and belligerent West planning to use Ukraine in its anti-Russian policies. It also seriously misrepresents the ongoing acts of aggression by the Russian armed forces in Ukraine referring to the alleged "rebellion of Russian people in Crimea and Donbas against Nazism."
The claim about Ukrainian authorities plan to organise a Russophobic genocide is absolutely groundless and is aimed to discredit Ukraine and legitimise aggressive Russian actions in Ukraine.
Russia's annexation of Crimea went contrary to Ukrainian and international law norms and Russia's aggressive actions in eastern Ukraine are well-established and thoroughly documented. When it comes to yet another conspiracy about NATO plans to set up a military base in Crimea, it was addressed by NATO's official website, which says that the idea to base ships and missiles in Crimea "has never been proposed, suggested or discussed within NATO."
The actual reason behind the EU and US sanctions are a blatant violation of international law by Russia. The first round of EU sanctions against Russia was introduced on 17 March 2014, against persons involved in actions against Ukraine's territorial integrity followed Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea. Later, in view of Russia's actions destabilising the situation in eastern Ukraine, the EU imposed economic sanctions in July 2014 and reinforced them in September 2014. In March 2015, the European Council linked the duration of those economic restrictions to the complete implementation of the Minsk agreements.

The liberal world order- financial globalism, is ending. Those who are ready to take responsibility for the transition to a new order are Trump, Putin and Xi Jinping.
G7 was conceived as a liberal club, aimed at “optimising” the world economy and politics within financial globalism. That is why Russia was ousted from G7. Not because of Ukraine and Crimea.
The World War II was ordered by the US in order to defeat Britain. Hitler was an Anglophile and London secretly supported the consolidation of German Army. One day Poland was doomed to become the subject of bargaining between Berlin and London. But London was full of contradictions; it supported Poland and the US used the geopolitical situation to provoke a clash between the European forces.
Conspiracy theory, no evidence given. This is one of the pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about the WWII.
It was Nazi Germany who attacked Poland on September 1, 1939, which marked the beginning of the WWII. A few weeks later Soviet troops entering Polish territory on September 17.
Negotiations in Beslan would have been futile. The terrorists never formulated their demands clearly, only mentioned the withdrawal of Russian troops from Chechnya and the independence of the region.
At 13h, 3rd of September 2004, an explosion was heard, and terrorists opened fire. The origin of the explosion remains obscure until today. It forced Spetsnaz to instantly make the decision to attack.
Among the terrorists were many Ingush trained in the separatist republic. There were also identified British nationals of Algerian origin, as well as funding from Saudi and Kuwaiti nationals, de facto internationalising the cell. In December 2006, the State Duma Commission noted that the terrorists were responsible for the initial explosion.
No evidence was given for the claim that there were British nationals of Algerian origin amongst terrorists or that any foreign funding was identified. There are no official investigations related to this topic in Russia.
According to the numerous testimonies of the surviving hostages, the terrorists repeatedly tried to initiate negotiations. One of them, Nurpashi Kulaev, promised to release 150 children in exchange for each person who would arrive as a negotiator at the school. One of the leaders of the Chechen separatists, Aslan Maskhadov was also ready to conduct negotiations with the terrorists. Andrei Illarionov, former Vladimir Putin's aide (2000-2005), revealed in 2016 that in 2004 Putin did not allow to save hostages and the storming began in reaction to Maskhadov's proposal. No comments from the Russian officials were made following this statement.
