What happened in the Russia-Ukraine war this week? Catch up with the must-read news and analysis Every week we wrap up essential coverage of the war in Ukraine, from news and features to analysis, and more. [Excerpt]
‘Music is to me the light’ For this piece Charlotte Higgins sets the scene at the National Philharmonic Hall in Warsaw, where the stakes are very high for everyone on stage. Violinist Joshua Bell and conductor Dalia Stasevska are on an intensely focused mission to get the opening bars of a concerto just right – and not just any concerto, but one by the virtually forgotten Ukrainian-born composer Thomas de Hartmann. The musicians of the International Symphony Orchestra Lviv (INSO-Lviv) are giving it its first commercial recording since the work’s premiere in 1943. They will then perform it in a concert of Ukrainian and Polish music in Warsaw.
Ukraine shoots down two Russian warplanes Ukraine’s military shot down two of Russia’s command planes on Sunday, one of the most disastrous days for the Kremlin’s air power since the start of Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion, Luke Harding reported. Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Ukraine’s commander in chief, said his air force had destroyed an A-50 long-range radar detection aircraft and an Il-22 control centre plane. Both were flying above the Sea of Azov on Sunday when they were hit at 9.10pm local time.
‘Spend Russia’s money now for Ukraine’s good’ The rich G7 countries froze Russian central bank reserves after the invasion of February 2022, and there have been growing demands from Kyiv for the assets to be seized and spent on reconstruction. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development’s chief economist Beata Javorcik

>I’m angry, I’m shocked and saddened every pest hole around the world comes and America comes last!<
Yes, I agree.
I hope that if, and when, President Trump returns to the Oval Office, he can straighten out this mess.
Once again your comment#179 you create ‘note’ false accusations against others

He was providing aid and comfort (using the American terms), to Ukraines enemies, while Ukraine was at war. All that while residing in Ukraine.
He was imprisoned, and then was released on bail.
He could easily have shut up for the duration, and would then probably have been quietly deported.
But he kept on on badmouthing Ukraine, while in Ukraine, which is at war with G.Liras friends, so of course he was jailed again.
The Ukrainian government was very accomodating, seeing as it is a country at war. Ukraine behaved honorably given the circumstances. The US, Britain and France were no kinder in WW2 to that sort of person.
Wars are expensive.
Your complaints would have applied just as well to US policy in 1940-41, given the vast material and financial aid the US was providing the Allies (eventually), while maintaining neutrality.
The same types, just like you, resurfaced during the Cold War.
I dont know if these characters eventually changed their minds or just mutated.

"False accusations"?
No.
Nothing but the TRUTH.
Go stare at one of your grey rocks mommy. You need help.
Update on the conflict in Ukraine for January 21, 2024…
- As Ukraine and its Western sponsors continue losing the conflict strategically, Ukraine continues conducting military operations to win public relations victories;
- Ukrainian drone strikes on St. Petersburg and a Russian oil depot inflicted no tactically or strategically significant damage;
- Such strikes have demonstratably only galvanized the Russian population further behind Moscow and are admittedly aimed at encouraging the Ukrainian population to remain invested in the conflict;
- The US government has claimed that without further financial aid, Ukraine will decisively lose the conflict, omitting the fact that even with additional financial resources, the arms and ammunition Ukraine needs does not exist to be purchased and transferred to Ukraine in the first place;
- France has urged arms manufacturers to boost output, claiming to have switched to a “war economy mode,” despite the necessary prerequisites to do so not being met and France being unable to boost output without huge investments in both money measured in billions, and time measured in years;
- The fate of a Russian A-50 airborne early warning and control aircraft continues to remain at the center of Western commentary, specifically because of a lack of strategically significant developments in Ukraine’s favor on the battlefield. The fact that Western media admits the allegedly destroyed plane has already been replaced reveals how insignificant the incident is;
- The Western media continues promoting narratives of heavy Russian losses around Avdeevka, identical to narratives that preceded the fall of Bakhmut to Russian forces last year;
- While such narratives are meant to depict Russia as weak and failing, the relentless tidal wave of men and equipment would not be possible unless Russia possessed vastly superior means of raising manpower and military industrial output;
FALSE ACCUSATION
“Note: I will now be insulted, mocked, and called named such as Putinpoofer, Ruzzzzzzian Farm Bot Troll, muscovite, an “America-hating pro-Russian propagandist, whose purpose is to see America defeated anywhere and everywhere possible” (as zeeper BroJoek labeled me) and worse, only because I don’t worship at the altar of Zelensky as they do.”
Actually, Freepers were responding to your abusive insulting comments. I remember sharing just some of your rude comments to me in one post... it didn’t help you.
All anyone asks is to abide by Mr. Robinson’s protocol for posting.
>Your complaints would have applied just as well to US policy in 1940-41, given the vast material and financial aid the US was providing the Allies (eventually), while maintaining neutrality.<
The scale of the Ukraine-Russia war and what’s at stake for us isn’t at all comparable to the threat America faced during World War II.
“I just kept scrolling and went on with my day.”
If you think America-loving FReepers are going to scroll past your lies and propaganda without responding, you’re loonier than I thought.
>All anyone asks is to abide by Mr. Robinson’s protocol for posting.<
In the 25+ years I’ve been a member of FR, I’ve never had ONE thread pulled or been issued ONE warning by Jim or any of the mods...unlike you.
How many of your threads were pulled last week? At least 6. That’s gotta be a FR record.
Another FRiendly reminder:
Respectfully, this is America. Christian America. Our history does not include ‘GLory’ to anyone other than to God. All Glory to God.
Less propaganda would be appreciated.

None of Britains enemies posed a realistic threat to the US in 1940-41. The US could have remained unconcerned and neutral as the Allies, and China, burned.
It was aid to the Allies and China that put the US in the crosshairs. Pearl Harbor was the result of the desperate dilemma that Roosevelts economic pressure put Japan into.
But the current bad guys do pose serious threats.
I suggest that it is the unregulated hostility of the response she is getting that is causing these problems.
Peace will come if you guys just avoided these threads.
There is “America-loving” and ... those who put on that skin, let us say.
I dont think there is much love on display here.
“I’ve never had ONE thread pulled”
1. You do not post articles, only abusive comments
2. I posted a phrase Ukrainians state around the world since 1918. Similar to the U.S. statement “God Bless America.” I saw it as the glory of God be shown.”
Mr. Robinson doesn’t want it used on FR.
So, I don’t:
“Respectfully, this is America.”
3. The irrational abusive responses against freepers that stand against the invasion of Ukraine and Support Freedom of the people of Ukraine became intense and created chaos.
We con’t to share information, but post fewer articles.
BTW, I have received frustrated comments that miss creating chaos! LOL
4. Many Freepers, as well as students, appreciate my research although some hold a differing point of view.
And again, I fully support everyone to equally share freedom of thought and freedom of speech. You might notice I do not denigrate others for their viewpoint. I may offer an alternative comment with support from an article or video... or just ignore.
5. I truly am sorry there is friction between us.
I receive enough positive comments, even from those that hold alternative views that overrides the negative from a few that are prone to comment negatively.
Hopefully, this new year we will share be a more positive experience for us.
