Could the #Assasination of #AndriyPortnov, a former top aide to ex-Ukrainian President #ViktorYanukovych be a sign of the #Russian #FSB tying up loose ends?
As the curatorial and investigative journalist Prof. #SethAbramson showed in his national bestseller on the Russia-Ukraine crisis—#Proof of #Corruption (#Macmillan, 2020)—, there were ample connections between the #Kremlin and #Kyiv during that period; to say the least.

Russian authorities continue to demand the impossible, namely that we give them user data we don't have. Today the Moscow City Court rejected our objections and sided with the communication surveillance authority Roskomnadzor and the Federal Security Buereau (FSB). Not too surprising.

#Putin has declared a 3-day pause in fighting against #Ukraine, but for bloodied Ukrainian soldiers limping into a field hospital, their wounds testified that the ceasefire was not being respected.
One soldier, who gave his name as Stanislav, sat in the field hospital on Friday night cradling his left arm. It was wrapped in gauze bandage, & blood was soaking through.
“There hasn’t been any ceasefire," said Stanislav.

However, as the #EU has just announced its long-term energy strategy that involves NOT buying any more gas from #Russia, this generates a new potential #US-#EU conflict.
Arguably, the proceeds from #Russian oil and gas were key to financing the #Ukrainian invasion.
#Europe, having finally woken up to the threat of the #Russian bear, definitely will not want a repeat of that mistake...

The economic agreement is intended to provide #Ukraine w/ an *implicit* [so no real promises] #security arrangement while addressing #Trump’s concerns that the #US has provided Kyiv w/ a *blank check*.
“This agreement signals clearly to #Russia that the Trump administration is committed to a *peace* process centered on a #free, #sovereign, & prosperous Ukraine over the long term,” Treasury Secy #ScottBessent said in a statement.
The #UnitedStates & #Ukraine announced the creation of a new reconstruction & investment fund, formalizing an economic agreement between the 2 that is intended to give the US access to proceeds from Ukraine’s reserves of rare earth #minerals.
The agreement concludes months of fraught negotiations over whether the #US will continue to provide Ukraine w/ #economic & #military support to Ukraine as it tries to broker an end to its war w/ #Russia.

2 months ago, #Russia returned to #Ukraine the body of #journalist #ViktoriaRoshchyna
There was evidence of torture: abrasions, bruises, a broken rib, and suspected electric shock injuries
Also missing from her body was her brain, both eyeballs, and part of her trachea
That would obscure evidence of death by strangulation or suffocation
But also:
She was a journalist
She used her eyes, her voice, and her thoughts
And the #mafiaState sent a message about that
