00:00:00nations, this is our continent, the future
00:00:03is in our hands and
00:01:24Look at what symbols we are talking about,
00:01:28we see an icon of Achi.
00:02:03in 1991, a
00:02:30das reich division, so Ukrainian soldiers wore SS
00:02:34insignia, and all with the full support of European and
00:02:37American human rights activists, we know very
00:02:40well what these symbols
00:02:42signif.
00:02:45On September the 22nd, 2023, a Canadian
00:02:48Parliament special meeting, time to coincide with the visit of Ukrainian
00:02:52president Vladimir Zelinsky, the audience applauded
00:02:5598-year-old Yaroslav Gunkor for several
00:02:58minutes. have here in the chamber today Ukrainian Canadian
00:03:02World Veteran who fought the Ukrainian independence against the
00:03:06Russians and continues to support the troops today,
00:03:09even at his age of 98.
00:03:12Canada's top officials and President Zelinski gave a standing
00:03:15avation to the fascist, volunteer from the SS Galicia
00:03:19division, known for exceptional atrocities against
00:03:22Jews, poles, Belorussians and
00:03:24Slovaks
00:03:29during. War two, Ukrainian nationalists, part of
00:03:32SS units, killed hundreds of thousands of
00:03:35civilians. In 1943, the zonder
00:03:38Keith's streets, wearing the colors of commandos formed in western Ukraine were sent to Poland and
00:03:41Slovakia to fight the partisans and the locals who
00:03:45supported them.
00:03:55and make use of
00:04:33Our family was cruelly murdered
00:04:36by Ukrainians. 14 people
00:04:40were driven out at night. They told them to
00:04:43undress over the soldier's trenches.
00:04:46Everyone was given a shot to the back
00:04:49of the head.
00:04:56will happen, but most Polish blood.
00:05:02It was like this, when the Ukrainians came,
00:05:05they took this mixed breed,
00:05:08led him out of the house, tied his legs to...
00:05:43even the Germans conducted an interesting historical analysis, as a
00:05:46result of which it turned out that the number of
00:05:50widespread tortures that
00:05:53the Banderites used against their opponents, the number of
00:05:57these tortures exceeded 135. In fact,
00:06:00there were even more, but from 135 tortures,
00:06:03from skinning a living person, to
00:06:07gouging out eyes, cutting off noses, cutting off tongues,
00:06:10cutting off ears, quartering.
00:07:42to the west, to the US and British occupied zones, the
00:07:46cold war began, and in the confrontation with the Soviets, it was
00:07:50again decided to play the Ukrainian card. For about
00:07:5310 years after the end of the war, the United States rounded
00:07:56up thousands of Ukrainian dissidents who had fled the
00:08:00Ukraine and got them to come to Canada, creating
00:08:03a major foreign
00:08:06policy force in inside of Canada on behalf of the
00:08:09Ukraine, and it turned out. uh later
00:08:13on that of these thousands that were sent to Canada and
00:08:16an awful lot of them had papers filled out uh from the same
00:08:20postal address in Germany and when it was tracked down
00:08:24well uh it was a US military base in Germany that
00:08:27was funneling these people into
00:08:29Canada.
00:08:32Former Reagan administration official Michael Springman saw
00:08:36documents proving the CIA not only saved Hitler's former
00:08:39associates from trial but also
00:08:42used them for combat operations against the Soviet Union.
00:08:46The United States worked with Reinhard Galen who had been Adolf
00:08:49Hitler's chief of Eastern Front intelligence and
00:08:52he was named after the war as the first
00:08:56president of the German foreign intelligence service the bundes
00:08:59nachrichtendienst and he used his ties with the
00:09:03Ukrainians and with the Nazis to conceal
00:09:07the Ukrainian extremists for
00:09:11the uh the good of the American and British programs
00:09:14in trying to destabilize the Ukraine and the
00:09:18Soviet Union. The
00:09:20operation's objective was to destabilize Soviet
00:09:24Ukraine's western regions through high profile murders,
00:09:27sabotage and terrorism.
00:09:31Money, weapons and communications were sent to the Ukrainian
00:09:34nationalist underground cells by aircraft from
00:09:37US military bases in Europe, which is
00:09:41maybe why the CIA. codenamed the operation project
00:09:44aerodynamic. the end of the second world war,
00:09:48the US army counter intelligence core began to have
00:09:52contacts with Stepan Bandera and
00:09:55Michael Alibed and their organization, the
00:09:59Ukrainian nationalist
00:10:01army working against what was then the Soviet Union.
00:10:05from classified CIA documents, Springman learned
00:10:08about sadistic punitive operations carried out by Stepan
00:10:12B. associates, they used uh
00:10:15everything from major army
00:10:17units such as the 14th grenadeer of Vafen
00:10:21ss division, which was made up mostly of galitians, which are
00:10:25people in western Ukraine and Southern Poland. Uh, they
00:10:28also recruited about 250,000
00:10:31Ukrainians through uh Stepan Bandera.
00:10:34Uh, and, uh, is second in command, the
00:10:38uh, his chief of intelligence, Michael
00:10:41Lebad, to engage in something like
00:10:44250,000 people, uh, spread out through,
00:10:48nightingale, battalion, and uh, other
00:10:52Ukrainian nationalists such as police force and things like
00:10:55this that would be engaged in controlling Ukraine once the
00:10:59Nazi invasion of the Soviet
00:11:00Union.
00:11:07There, streams, not rivers, but streams of blood flowed in the streets because of what the Ukrainians
00:11:10were doing and creating, and the Germans themselves were amazed at what
00:11:14giving free rein to Ukrainian nationalists
00:11:18leads to.
00:11:20In the 1950s, the Soviets sent a huge force to western
00:11:24Ukraine to...
00:12:32Bandera's underground had run out of steam by
00:12:341953,
00:12:36the death penalty in the Soviet Union had been abolished and most surviving
00:12:40Ukrainian nationalists ended up in Soviet prisons, from
00:12:44which they were released almost immediately after Stalin's
00:12:47death by special decree of his successor
00:12:50Nikita.
00:12:55but now they have expanded, they have become completely different, they have already entered party
00:12:58and state power, that's the whole trick, you see, one of
00:13:02the cases is that my wife was already a
00:13:05schoolgirl, she was at a demonstration with
00:13:08her parents, she remembers one of the episodes,
00:13:12when her father saw a man
00:13:15carrying some banner or
00:13:18portrait, he says that was a policeman, he killed
00:13:21us, one of the soldiers just stands nearby...
00:13:25heard this and was indignant, how can
00:13:28this be, maybe he recognized him, identified him
00:13:31there, no, he says, I remember him, by these signs.
00:13:55news and confusion seems to reign
00:13:58supreme.
00:14:01Across America, from our biggest cities to our
00:14:05smallest towns, there is almost too much information,
00:14:09too many actors, too many lies. You don't
00:14:12need more content, you actually need
00:14:15context. We're not up in newsroom ivory
00:14:18towers. We're on the street. We care about what affects real
00:14:22Americans.
00:14:25Anyone can tell you what's happening in the news, but who's
00:14:29telling you why it's happening, how it's
00:14:31happening, how it affects you? Every
00:14:35night we cut through the noise, because the stories that
00:14:38will determine our future are happening in America now.
00:14:52After the arm banderist units's defeat,
00:17:40referendum on independence was held in Ukraine. Poland and the
00:17:44US supported the result
00:17:46immediately.
00:17:52centuries ago, your four bearers named this
00:17:56country Ukraine or Frontier,
00:18:00because your steps link Europe and
00:18:02Asia, but Ukrainians have become
00:18:06frontiersmen of another. Today you
00:18:09explore the frontiers in contours of liberty, and for those who
00:18:13love freedom, every experiment in building an
00:18:16open society offers new lessons and
00:18:20insights. A fully independent Ukraine emerged in
00:18:231991, within the borders Soviet leaders had given
00:18:27it, but the contradictions between the young
00:18:31states west and southeast were so obvious that it took
00:18:35decades and a special operation.
00:19:10In response, the pro-western opposition brought thousands of supporters onto
00:19:16the political leader Victor Yushanka, they demanded the
00:19:19election result be
00:19:21overturned.
00:19:26And so the Kouditar would be called the orange
00:19:28revolution.
00:20:37On the Midan stage was his wife, Katherine
00:20:40Chumochenka, a US citizen and prime example of
00:20:43how America had long been raising future
00:20:46elites for the former Soviet Republics.
00:21:20Well of course you can say that Catherine Claire had a very peculiar background and
00:21:24that she worked very closely with the United States government on
00:21:27behalf of its operations against the Ukraine, the Soviet
00:21:31Union and the success of the Russian
00:21:33federation.
00:21:39Grew up in a family of Ukrainian collaborators who were forced to flee to the U.S. after World War II, where
00:21:43Katherine made a brilliant political
00:21:45career.
00:23:08The US, having endured decades of
00:23:11the Cold War, succeeded in
00:23:152004.
00:23:16году.
00:23:20during Victor Yushenka's presidency led to new
00:23:23kudeta and the civil war in Donbas.
00:23:41A former official in ousted Yanukovych's
00:23:43administration, Rastislav Ishchenko recalls how after
00:23:47the 2014 coup people were fired.
00:24:51The United States, where we are now,
00:24:54and Russia are waging a geopolitical war.
00:25:24Throw it, throw it, brother, I'm
00:25:25yours.
00:25:31I'm done, brother, I'm
00:25:33done,
00:25:35that war is a punishment for us, for the fact that we engaged in cannibalism last century, we
00:25:39killed each other, we wrote millions of denunciations against each other
00:25:43and looked for enemies among ourselves.
00:25:46собою.
00:25:52What we have, we have, I say that we are the servants of those we choose, we
00:25:55chose a clown and must suffer, I
00:25:59suffer from what I lost, I lost everything, family, parents.
00:26:32on the territory of Ukraine at the cost of Ukrainian lives, the
00:26:36Russian Federation and NATO countries are fighting
00:26:39each other, where the main beneficiary is, of course,
00:26:42America, well, and Britain, which has its own
00:26:46interests regarding the European Union, you understand, the problem is
00:26:49that we will perish,
00:26:52Ukraine, God forbid, but it is heading towards
00:26:56disappearing as a state, or there will be several Ukraines, what does this mean,
00:26:59that not only is Ukraine being utilized as a state, but Ukraine as a country.
00:27:39"the deep state has its hands in everything. was in the
00:27:42middle of it for decades. when i blew the whistle on CIA
00:27:46torture, the deep state turned on me. they ruined my
00:27:50life, took away my rights, threw me in
00:27:53prison, but they didn't break
00:27:55me.
00:27:58fought back, and i still do. i'm John."
00:29:05everywhere I see some clues, some
00:29:09echoes, references in the entire movement of
00:29:12people, well, an artist must
00:29:15correspond to
00:29:17the times,
00:29:20how can one be indifferent to soldiers who die,
00:29:24self-awareness, I directly felt that this is what
00:29:27I want to depict
00:29:30in my work. War is not that far from
00:29:34us, right next to, next to our
00:29:37lives, if you want to do this, I can't say, but this
00:29:41is not mine, I am now seriously, carefully
00:29:44engaging with this topic,
00:29:47yes, the path is known, as a known
00:29:51artist, she is very talented, I
00:29:54love to live, so in general I
00:29:57believe that you become an artist if something doesn't hurt you, if you don't want to talk about it.
00:30:00There is no point in doing this at all.
00:30:35Bonjour bonjour my friend, how are you? I hope everything is fine. Today
00:30:39is the last day of the ceasefire
00:30:42agreement between the agreement that the Lebanese state made with the Israeli
00:30:46enemy.
00:30:53So I hope we see that everyone is waiting and we are waiting to see what the situation is, what
00:30:58likely, God willing.
