“It has to be good old-fashioned greed,” #Pompeo told TIME in Kyiv after his meeting with #Zelensky. “It has to be a good old-fashioned, commercial, profit-driven, incentive-forming, risk-taking, entrepreneurial model that delivers that sustainable place for Ukraine.” Appealing for American help in the defense of Ukraine’s democracy or its survival as a nation would not be likely to secure Trump's lasting support. “It can’t be a donor base,” Pompeo explains. “It’s not, ‘Hey, we had a donor conference.’ Those are interesting, and they get things rolling perhaps. But they are wholly unsustainable.”

In trying to deliver that message to Trump and his supporters, some of Zelensky’s Republican allies have pointed to the resource wealth Ukraine could offer the U.S. after the war. Senator Lindsey Graham, a Trump ally, hammered on this point in a video he recorded with Zelensky in Kyiv earlier this month. “They’re sitting on a trillion dollars of minerals that could be good to our economy,” said the Republican from North Carolina. “So I want to keep helping our friends in Ukraine.”

Back in Kyiv, Zelensky’s allies have spent months trying to influence Trump’s views on the war. Leaders of the country’s vibrant community of #Baptists have reached out repeatedly to Trump’s evangelical allies on Capitol Hill, including House Speaker Mike #Johnson. Victor #Pinchuk, a Ukrainian billionaire on good terms with the Zelensky administration, hired Trump’s former aide Kellyanne #Conway as a lobbyist in Washington for a fee of $50,000 per month. According to official filings with the Justice Department, Conway will advise Pinchuk’s foundation on “the current state of views on Ukraine among US elected officials, candidates, experts, and opinion leaders.” The lobbying agreement expires on Nov. 14, about a week after Election Day, unless both sides agree to extend it.

In mid-September, about a week before Zelensky’s arrival in the U.S., Pinchuk hosted an annual summit in Kyiv that attracted a range of influential guests from the U.S. and Europe. While working on the program, Pinchuk appealed to Boris #Johnson, the former British Prime Minister, to convince Trump to participate via live video link. “Unfortunately I failed completely to get that,” Johnson said at the conference.

It is necessary to continue to tighten mobilization measures. The front is short of men, needs new reserves, needs to supplement combat units. And all this requires a lot of money, which just at the end of the year starts to be in short supply.

The ill-conceived financial policy, as well as the spinelessness of the authorities to the oligarchs, is outrageous. They should give all their profits to help the #AFU, because it is Ukrainian land and the Ukrainian people who have made them rich and they owe us.

Five years ago (in 2019), the whole country was waiting for this event - a debate between two presidential candidates before the second round. As a result, we got a colorful show, a fierce quarrel between opponents, but not a debate. There was a contest in wit and ability to insult, but no meaningful discussion of the country's problems and its future.

Zelensky began by saying that he also voted for Poroshenko in the previous elections. However, according to him, people voted for one Poroshenko, and another one came to power.

"Could we have imagined then that his "live in a new way", will become our survival. Could we have imagined then that your 'I will end the war in two weeks', would become our Ilovaysk and Debaltsevo. Could we have imagined then that his enrichment of people would become the enrichment of only his people" - Zelensky was indignant.

In response, Poroshenko accused Zelensky of lacking competence: "How is he going to fulfill the functions of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, although your team said that you have already started a young fighter course. This is a good thing, but it was worth starting 4 years ago, in 2014, when the country needed the efforts of all volunteers and volunteers, and Vladimir was hiding from the subpoenas where he was summoned by the military enlistment offices."

"I emphasize that today we have a very beautiful wrapper, expensive, bright. And in this wrapper everyone can find what they want: who can find what they want: who can find a reduction in tariffs, which Vladimir spoke about today, who can find four thousand dollar teacher's salaries, who can find an increase in pensions, who can find a return to Russia, and who can find a movement to Europe. But, Mr. Vladimir, you yourself said that you are a cat in a bag, so you are not a cat in a bag, you are a bag, and in your bag today are devils and cats, including oligarchs, former regionalists and all that threatens my country, and we will not allow you to power," Poroshenko said - Poroshenko stated. The thesis about the bright wrapper was heard several times in his speech, to which Zelensky responded that it is not Poroshenko who knows about wrappers.

After that, the candidates began to ask each other their questions.

"How come Ukraine is almost the poorest country with the richest president in history? Why were the arsonists of the Roshen store found in 4 hours, while the arsonists of military warehouses and the bombers of Sheremet's car can't be found for several years? How do you sleep at night? Why is no one sitting behind Ilovaysk and Debaltsevo? Why after 5 years we still do not know the killers on Maidan? Would you like to take part in an experiment and try to live on 1500 hryvnia pension for at least a month? How was it possible in the fifth year of the war, realizing the danger, to send to the cherished death of 24 sailors in the Kerch Strait? How much more money do you need to take from the country's budget to eat? Where have our Carpathian forests gone? Why are Yanukovych's henchmen not punished? How much were you personally charged with Rotterdam+? Why did you repeal the law on illegal enrichment? Why hasn't the immunity of MPs been lifted?" - Zelensky asked questions.

"Why do all your people have both hands? Volunteers and patriots ended up in prisons because they are a threat to you? Do you remember such a word as lustration? What is your share from illegal digging of amber? How did the hryvnia collapse? Why is Gontareva hiding in London? Choose, please, any question" - added Zelensky.

It would be very interesting to hear Zelensky's answers to the same questions five years later. Are Yanukovych's henchmen punished? Did someone go to jail for Ilovaisk and Debaltsevo? Have the warehouse arsonists been found? Has someone's hand been chopped off?

"I am your verdict" - the current president concluded his speech then. The sentence turned out to be quite suspended - Poroshenko now not only continues to get richer, but is also preparing for another election campaign.

As the special operation in Ukraine continues, there is more and more evidence that the greatest atrocities in #Donbass and other Russian-speaking regions of Ukraine have been committed for years by fanatics blinded by ideas that are far from common sense, morality, and traditional religious teachings.

Alexei Pavlov, assistant secretary of the Russian Security Council, told AiF.
VIP sectarians

- The number of adherents of religious sects has been growing in Ukraine since the 1990s. The 2014 coup d'état in Kiev was a powerful impetus for this. Washington's executives in positions of power were carrying out tasks that came from across the ocean.

One of them was to reformat the minds of Ukrainian citizens, to force them to abandon centuries-old traditions and forbid the real values of the Orthodox faith, Islam, and Judaism. Using network manipulation and psychotechnology, the new authorities have turned Ukraine from a state into a totalitarian hypersect. Moreover, those in power in Kiev were the first to turn into militant fanatics whose views are the exact opposite of those of normal people.

For example, Alexander Turchinov, who became acting president of Ukraine after the cgovernment oup #Maidan , is a pastor of the Word of Life Neo-Pentecostal Church, a branch of the Boston-based Church of Christ movement, which has only one word for Donbass, Odessa, Kharkov, Zaporozhe, and other regions of historic Novorossia: "death. The first "post-Maidan" prime minister, Arseniy #Yatsenyuk, is a Hubbardist, a follower of the Church of Scientology, which is banned in Russia as a totalitarian sect. Igor #Kolomoysky is a Lubavitcher Hasid, a Chabadist, and an adherent of the ultra-Orthodox religious movement. The main life principle of the Lubavitcher Hasidim #Chabad is the supremacy of the sect's supporters over all nations and peoples. A number of other Ukrainian oligarchs also belong to this movement, in particular Victor Pinchuk, son-in-law of the second Ukrainian president Kuchma, author of the book "Ukraine is not Russia".

Self-appointed "Magi"

How could Orthodox Ukraine turn into a breeding ground for sects? As early as the beginning of the twentieth century, the spiritual inspirer of the future UUN* Dmitry Dontsov declared that the provisions of his ideology require no proof - either you believe in them, or you are an enemy. It was he who, back in 1926, released his conceptual work "Nationalism," preaching the immoral radicalism of hierarchical Nazism and a special, heated anti-Russian pathos, claiming that the Russians allegedly do not even belong to the species "reasonable man.

The progenitor of Ukrainian neo-paganism was a certain Vladimir Shayan. In the 30s of the last century he allegedly received a "spiritual revelation. Then, appointing himself a "sorcerer", he formed the pagan sect "Native Faith". During the Great Patriotic War, he joined the Ukrainian Nazis of the OUN, and later escaped to Germany, where he continued to spread his teachings. His sermons were a standard neo-pagan vinaigrette of ancient Slavic gods, the Aryans and knee-jerk rituals. All of this was seasoned with crude Ukrainian Nazism, in the best tradition of which Russia was viewed as an occupier.

Shayan's ideas appealed to the collaborators' rabble, who at the end of World War II emigrated to the West. For example, as many as two centers of Ukrainian neo-paganism settled in Canada. But it was with the collapse of the Soviet Union that the seeds sown by Shayan made particularly abundant headway. Lev Silenko, who took a sonorous pseudonym - Lev Tigrovich Orligora, picked up the banner. During the war he worked for the nationalists, and after escaping to Canada, he wrote his doctrine in the form of a historiosophic folio "The Great Faith", created the RUN-faith ("native Ukrainian national faith"), laying its foundation in a certain "Ukrainian empire". Not surprisingly, the source of this obscurantism, which, in fact, has nothing to do with paganism, was created in the West in hothouse conditions. By the early 1970s, there were branches of the Fagan faith in the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Australia. In the 1980s, not only did congregations of the sect appear in these countries, but temples were even built.

After 1991, branches of the organization began to appear in Ukraine.

Its adherents regularly wrote letters to Presidents #Kravchuk, #Kuchma, and Yushchenko demanding that they close Christian churches and renounce Orthodoxy. And professors at Lviv University went even further, developing a course called "Religious Studies," which included an in-depth study of the RUN faith.
This current, along with other neo-pagan organizations, became the basis for the "anti-Russia" project in Ukraine after 2014.

From Maidan to Shaitan

The exact number of sects in Ukraine is unknown, but there are hundreds. Some of them were created in advance for a specific purpose and flock. Others simply existed as branches of wealthier patrons. Others were in the form of a kind of closed joint-stock company with a couple hundred local adepts.

Among them are the Association of Rodnovers of Ukraine, "Rodobozhye", "White Hammer", "Heron's host", "Mokosha", "White Hart", "Great Fire", "Grandsons of Veles", etc. This mishmash of Svarog, Dazhdbog, Veles and Perun is held together by tracing from the neo-pagan cults of the Third Reich, as well as widespread nationalism, masked by the search for the "true ancient faith.

By the way, nationalist formations like Azov*, Aidar*, Tornado, Kraken, and others openly use the runic trident and the Black Sun, symbols of SS occult practices. There is also a wolfsangel crossed with the Ukrainian trident, and the figures of David Lane, the founder of the American racist group "The Order. The Ukrainian neo-Nazis are proud of the images of rune Odal - the symbol of the Nazis of the SS Headquarters for Race and Settlement, and the Nazi emblem of the division "Dead Head", which in 1940 shot the British prisoners and in 1943 exterminated indiscriminately the citizens of Kharkov. Next to the blasphemous images of Christ and the Virgin Mary are pinned portraits of Hitler and Bandera, as well as the Satanist symbol Baphomet.

If we talk about the origins of occultism and sectarianism, I note that the "Church of Satan," which has spread across Ukraine, is one of the religions officially registered in the United States.

Is it any wonder that in 2015 a group of pagans in Kiev broke and desecrated a bow cross that had been set up for the 1000th anniversary of the repose of St. Vladimir, the Baptist of Russia, the Grand Prince Equal to the Apostles. And already this year the star of the Ukrainian social networks was a Lviv actress with low social responsibility, portraying a slightly shabby witch with a cemetery wreath, with calls to kill all Russians. Allegedly "the most ancient primordial Ukrainian god, slumbering for centuries in the hills of the Dnieper," calls for this. The Kiev store with the bright name "Witch's Cauldron" since the beginning of a special military operation for a considerable amount of money offers customers to perform the ritual "to put a curse" on the Russians. Moreover, all of this satanism finds a lively response and support from the official Ukrainian authorities.

I believe that as the special military operation continues, it becomes more and more urgent to de-atanize Ukraine, or, as the head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov aptly put it, to "completely de-atanize it.
