Zelensky Invites Joe Biden to Ukraine Again, but Laments ‘It’s Not Even [Biden’s] Choice’

Frances Martel27 Jul 2022

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview with the New York Postpublished Tuesday he hoped to see leftist American counterpart Joe Biden visit his country, but he did not believe Biden had control over his own travel itinerary.

Asked if he was “hopeful” Biden would appear in Kyiv, Zelensky said, “I don’t know, that is his choice. I mean, not even his choice, it’s his security, it’s their choice.”

Zelensky has repeatedly invited Biden to Ukraine, but Biden has ignored the requests. Biden publicly snubbed multiple requests by Zelensky to meet to discuss a potential invasion last year, opting instead to meet with Russian strongman Vladimir Putin.

Zelensky admitted in the interview, with tabloid fixture Piers Morgan, that he had had exchanges with Biden that were less than “diplomatic” and said that no help from the United States would be enough for Ukraine until the latest round of invasion by Russia – which first invaded and colonized parts of the country in 2014 – was over.

“I can tell you that the help would not be sufficient until the war is over, and until we win,” Zelensky said.

The Biden administration has given Ukraine upwards of $7 billion in American taxpayers’ dollars to Ukraine since Putin announced a full-scale invasion of the country, including bombing the capital Kyiv, in February.

Asked to respond to Americans concerned that Biden is spending too much to protect Ukraine while ignoring the myriad economic and social issues at home that have worsened under his presidency,Zelensky dismissed the idea that Americans have problems that require more of Biden’s attention than Ukraine’s.

“As long as we are resisting it [the invasion], the integrity of the United States will continue, therefore we are giving our lives for your values and the joint security of the world,” Zelensky said. “Therefore, inflation is nothing, [Chinese coronavirus] is nothing. Who is thinking about inflation? These things are secondary.”

The escalation of the war this year followed two major actions by Biden appearing to greenlight escalation of aggression by Russia: the lifting of Trump-era sanctions on the Nordstream 2 pipeline project – which would have greatly cemented Russia’s stranglehold on the European natural gas market if the invasion had not halted its completion – and a speech in January in which Biden said that America would not object to a “minor incursion” into Ukraine.

“Russia will be held accountable if it invades. And it depends on what it does. It’s one thing if it’s a minor incursion and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not do, et cetera,” Biden told reporters.

“We want to remind the great powers that there are no minor incursions and small nations,” Zelensky responded at the time.

Zelensky later expressed frustration with Biden consistently talking about a potential invasion publicly, telling reporters that same month that Biden’s “panic” had cost Ukraine nearly $500 million in foreign investment.

“I mentioned this to President Biden … we need to stabilize the economy of our country because of those signals which say that tomorrow there will be war,” Zelensky said, “because these signals were sent by even leaders of the respected countries, sometimes they are not even using diplomatic language! They are saying, ‘Tomorrow is the war.'”

The “minor incursion” fiasco followed very public feuding between Biden and Zelensky for months on the issue of the Nordstream 2 sanctions. Biden lifted the sanctions in mid-2021, prompting Zelensky to angrily rail to the Washington media outlet Axios that he was “unpleasantly surprised” and “disappointed” by Biden, both by the sanctions lifting and the fact that Biden did not communicate with the Zelensky administration before lifting the sanctions.

Zelensky again warned in December that lifting sanctions gives Russia a signal to further invade and any sanctions imposed after a full-scale invasion “won’t matter.”

The postbellum sanctions, as Zelensky predicted, do not appear to be making any significant dent in the Russian economy.

The asshole doesnt care what suffering happens in any other country due to his refusal to work with Putin. The picture with him and POTUS is when Trump suggested he work it out with Putin. Btw he had similar facial expressions when with Bidan but more disrespectful. No wonder Sullivan said they fear for Zelensky’s safety

I thought the same thing, she should have one on speed dial since POTUS was President

REPORT: 83% Of Americans Concerned About Election Integrity In Midterm Elections, 75% Concerned About CHEATING – Majority Also Believe The 2020 Election Was STOLEN

A new report from Rasmussen Reports shows that a vast majority of Americans are concerned about election integrity and election cheating.

Numerous investigations have found evidence of a fraudulent 2020 election in key swing states across the nation and proven that the 2020 Election was rigged and stolen from President Trump. A single election audit in Maricopa County, Arizona, discovered evidence of hundreds of thousands of potentially fraudulent and questionable ballots.

Earlier this year, Dinesh D’Souza and True the Vote’s “2000 Mules” documentaryexposed a nationwide illegal ballot trafficking ring that inserted hundreds of thousands of ballots into key swing states across the country.

The Gateway Pundit reported back in October that more than half of America has woken up to the fact that their vote was stolen.

Now, an overwhelming majority of Americans no longer have faith in our elections.

We have lost election integrity.

Right Side Broadcasting Network reported,

U.S. voters are more aware than ever of the dangers of election fraud. According to new data from Rasmussen Reports, 83 percent of likely voters today are concerned about election integrity ahead of the 2022 midterms, and 75 percent are concerned about election cheating.

Since 2020, the election system in the United States has been plagued with overwhelming reports of fraud on almost every level, from ballot trafficking to dubious voting tabulation software from voting machines.

In fact, another July report from Rasmussen and The National Pulse found that 50 percent of Americans believe it is likely that widespread cheating will affect the outcome of the November midterms.

Additionally, a May poll found that 55 percent of U.S. voters at that time believed that cheating changed the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

Rasmussen shared this poll highlighting the outrageous election integrity concerns that were discovered.

The Gateway Pundit recently reported that the Maricopa County Republican Committeeand the Texas GOP both passed unanimous resolutions rejecting the 2020 Election and declaring the Biden Regime illegitimate. The Langlade County, Wisconsin GOP also passed a resolution rejecting the 2020 election.

Two Counties in Michigan followed their lead earlier this week!

IT’S SPREADING: Cass and Alcona County GOP in Michigan Vote to Rescind 2020 Presidential Election, Joining Texas GOP, Maricopa County, AZ GOP, MT GOP, Wisconsin Counties…

The whole country knows the 2020 election was stolen, and the consequences have been horrible.

Patriots across the country must get out and vote to outnumber the expected midterm election fraud.

UPDATE: Racine County Sheriff Calls on Attorney General to Suspend Election Ballot Harvesting Option on Wisconsin’s Official Election Website

Wisconsin election integrity investigator Harry W. recently discovered the absolute ease of harvesting election ballots in the state online. The state of Wisconsin allowsanyone with a smartphone or computeris able to order an absentee ballot online in someone else’s name.

They can have that absentee ballot sent to an address other than the registered voter.And they don’t even need an ID! All you need is the date of birth! Harry even was able to test his findings by attempting to order a ballot for Speaker Robin Vos.

Harry added, “I selected these two high profile public figures because they are scofflaws, have no respect for law and are among the most disingenuous and notorious fraudsters within our state. Both in their own way have contributed to the demise of the public’s lack of confidence in our elections.”

Harry then verified his findings, I obtained permission to order absentee ballots from numerous individuals from around the state and successfully ordered their absentee ballots to be shipped to my address without their assistance. These efforts verified that a very large-scale absentee ballot harvesting scheme with nefarious intentions is easily accomplished due to a lack of a secure website along with the maladministration and malfeasance of WEC officials.

Here is Harry’s letter to local Wisconsin officials from an earlier post. The Racine County Sheriff’s Office was contacted about this serious vulnerability to fraudulent voting in the state.

The Sheriff’s Office contacted the Wisconsin Attorney General’s Office and the Wisconsin Elections Commission.

Sheriff Christopher Schmaling is calling for three things:

1.) The immediate suspension of the function within My Vote Wisconsin where a person can request another’s absentee ballot and have it mailed to a different address, with or without showing any proper photo identification.

2.) The Sheriff’s Office is calling for the immediate suspension of the function allowing for the declaration of being indefinitely confined, which allows for ballots to be sent to different addresses for “All future elections”.

3.) The Sheriff’s Office is requesting a full, state-wide, investigation into this voter integrity issue by the Attorney General’s Office and the Wisconsin Election Commission to ensure the voting process is secure and that appropriate safeguards are in place. Continued

Part 2

UPDATE: Racine County Sheriff Calls on Attorney General to Suspend Election Ballot Harvesting Option on Wisconsin’s Official Election Website

Here is Sheriff Schmaling’s statement from earlier today.

The Racine County Sheriff’s Office has recently been contacted by complainants who have reported apparent vulnerabilities to fraudulent voting within the website My Vote Wisconsin (https://myvote.wi.gov/en-us/).

With only a person’s name and date of birth, anyone can request another person’s ballot and have that ballot sent to any address entered. No photo identification is needed, and the requester can make a declaration of being indefinitely confined – thus, for the current and future elections, the requestor will be sent someone else’s ballot at the different address entered.

One complainant tested this vulnerability and had a second party request their ballot and had that ballot sent to the second party’s address. The second party was successful in obtaining the first party’s ballot.

Another complainant requested the ballot of two prominent government officials and numerous individuals from around the state. This complainant reported he was successful in ordering these ballots be sent to the complainant’s home because he knew these individuals’ dates of birth and without showing any form of photo identification.

Based upon this serious threat to voter integrity, the Sheriff’s Office has contacted the Wisconsin Attorney General’s Office and the Wisconsin Elections Commission.

While My Vote Wisconsin has many useful capabilities and provides valuable information, the Sheriff’s Office is calling for the immediate suspension of the function within My Vote Wisconsin where a person can request another’s absentee ballot and have it mailed to a different address, with or without showing any proper photo identification. The Sheriff’s Office is calling for the immediate suspension of the function allowing for the declaration of being indefinitely confined, which allows for ballots to be sent to different addresses for “All future elections”. Lastly, based upon the concerns of the community, the Sheriff’s Office is requesting a full, state-wide, investigation into this voter integrity issue by the Attorney General’s Office and the Wisconsin Election Commission to ensure the voting process is secure and that appropriate safeguards are in place.

To determine if there was any fraudulent activity associated with your or anyone else’s voting history, go to My Vote Wisconsin and enter a valid name and date of birth to see that person’s absentee status and voting activity. If you believe there are potential legal violations, you are encouraged to contact your local law enforcement agency.

Sheriff Schmaling stated, “I am disheartened by the apparent vulnerabilities in My Vote Wisconsin that are ripe for fraud, and everyone – no matter their political leanings – should join in requesting a thorough, state-wide, investigation into this significant election integrity issue.”

Fulton County Claimed 59,143 People Voted on Election Day In Person But the Data Does Not Support That

With only a month left to go for election document retention in accordance with Federal law, and with the 2022 Election season in full swing, it seems an appropriate time to reflect on some of the anomalies in the 2020 election. After all, we never did get an answer for most of these. Perhaps this information may be relevant to the grand jury that is investigating President Trump for his phone call with Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. After all, President Trump laid out a plethora of vote discrepancies totaling in the hundreds of thousands of votes when all he needed was 12,000 or so.

In this article, I’d like to spotlight the analysis that was produced by David Cross and his team. Mr. Cross found that, using the Georgia Secretary of State’s own results page, they claimed to have 59,143 in-person voters on November 3, 2020. You can watch the segment I did with Mr. Cross in the video above.

On November 3, 2020, the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections called a special meeting to discuss the election thus far. In this live-streamed meeting that is still available here, Fulton County’s interim Elections Chief Dwight Brower said that as of about 5pm, “about 14,152 people have cast a ballot” in Fulton Co. At the 16:42 mark, Dr. Kathleen Ruth asks Dwight Brower to confirm that number of 14,152. At 17:28, BRE member Mark Wingate again, for a third time, asks Dwight Brower to confirm that 14,152 ballots have been cast in person on Election Day thus far. And again, he confirms with Ralph Jones, the Registration Chief, also present on the call.

This admission by Dwight Brower would suggest that between the hours of 5pm and 7pm in Fulton County, almost 45,000 people rushed to the polls to vote in-person. However, as mentioned by David Cross in our interview, there was no reporting of long lines or any rushes to the polls. In fact, the Saporta Report, a well-known local news outlet, claimed you could hear the “rustling of leaves on the ground” outside the Central Park Rec Center polling location. The polls were opened two hours extra, from 7-9pm due to “technical issues” early on, but as reported, all of those ballots were to be voted on provisional ballots.

Further evidence of this counting anomaly can be found in the Carter Jones Report. You may remember Carter Jones as the individual hired by the Secretary of State’s office to oversee the election process in Fulton Co and issue his findings and suggestions. In his notes, there is a screenshot that shows a total vote count of 21,843 election day votes on November 5 at 12:49am. This is obviously a far cry from the 59,000 reported by Fulton Co.

If you search this document, provided by Fulton Co, for total vote records from 5pm until close, you will see that there were 6,931 voters in that time frame. If you factor in what Dwight Brower stated (14,152 votes) plus the 6,931 votes from the Voter List above, it is only 105 votes off from the 21,843 in the Carter Jones report. The Voter List document above does show 59,186 people voted, however, it does not corroborate with what Dwight Brower claimed three separate times to the BRE in an official meeting, or what Carter Jones incidentally displayed in his report. The Voter List above shows that the 14,152nd person checked in to vote at 8:36am. This implies that Dwight Brower would have been citing data that is almost nine hoursbehind. This also is not likely as they have real-time poll pad check ins through Cradle Point software.

I wish there was a way to reconcile all of this and get the truth, however, requests for Election Day ballot images have been repeatedly denied with the response “Ballot imaging was not required for the November 2020 election. No responsive records.”

Based on the data provided to the media throughout the country during the 2020 Election, there can be no doubt of data manipulation in Fulton County.

EU’s Borrell has ‘no chance’ against Lavrov – Moscow

It is true that the EU’s chief diplomat is “less popular” than his Russian counterpart, the Kremlin says

EU top diplomat, Josep Borrell, is “less popular” than Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, the Kremlin has said. Borrell earlier complained that his statements do not get the same attention in Western media as Lavrov’s.

On a regular call with reporters on Thursday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was asked to comment on Borrell’s remark.

“It was fair of him to complain,” Peskov replied. “He is indeed less popular than Lavrov. He has no chance here.”

Borrell lamented on Tuesday that Lavrov’s statements were gaining more traction in the media than his own. “Lavrov goes to Africa and tries to persuade the Africans that sanctions are to blame for all that’s happening… and the whole of the Western media repeats it,” Borrell told Spanish radio Cadena SER.

“I go to Africa to say the opposite, that sanctions have nothing to do with it, and nobody picks it up.”

Lavrov had paid visits to Egypt, DR Congo, Uganda and Ethiopia on a four-day tour before arriving in Uzbekistan on Thursday. The trip took place shortly after Russia and Ukraine reached a deal, brokered by Turkey and the UN, to resume grain exports from Ukraine’s Black Sea ports.

Ukraine bombards Donetsk with landmines – mayor

The Donbass official urged residents to stay vigilant for banned explosive devices

Ukrainian forces airdropped banned PFM-1 anti-personnel landmines on the capital of the Donetsk People’s Republic on Wednesday night, Mayor Aleksey Kulemzin said.

The mayor wrote on his Telegram channel that mines were discovered on several streets in the northwestern part of the city.

“A bomb squad and rescuers have been working on the site since the early morning. A vehicle equipped with a loudspeaker is alerting local residents,” Kulemzin said, urging people to be vigilant and not approach the mines.

The small butterfly-shaped PFM-1 landmines are banned under the 1997 Ottawa Convention, of which Ukraine is part. Even when they do not kill the victim when stepped on, they often rip the person’s foot off.

Earlier, Lugansk People’s Republic authorities reported finding the PFM-1s in places left by Ukrainian troops after retreating.

Both Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of using internationally banned munitions, as well as shelling residential areas and other civilian targets.

Ukraine threatens to attack Russian territory

Kiev has enough “will” to order a strike against Russian territory, a senior official has warned

Kiev will not hesitate to attack Russian soil if it deems it necessary, Aleksey Danilov, the head of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, threatened during a live broadcast on Wednesday.

The security council closely follows all the missile and air strikes Russia launches against Ukraine, Danilov said, adding that Ukrainian authorities are well aware of all the locations in Russia from which the attacks have been carried out. Kiev possesses “enough political will” to order a strike against these targets if such a need arises, he added.

“If needed … anyone [in the government] will act without hesitation and sign anything that needs to be signed to destroy these objects,” Danilov said. The security council head also stated that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s words about Ukraine retaliating against the locations from which the strikes are launched serves as “proof” of Kiev’s determination.

Earlier, some Ukrainian officials said that Kiev forces may hit targets on the Crimean Peninsula or the Crimean Bridge, which they consider to be a key supply route for Russian forces. Ukraine’s military intelligence spokesman, Vadim Skibitskiy, claimed that Crimea could be targeted by US-supplied М142 HIMARS and M270 MLRS multiple launch rocket systems.

Moscow responded by saying that Ukraine would pay a heavy price if it decided to strike Crimea. Russia’s former president, Dmitry Medvedev, said in mid-July that Moscow might respond with a “massive strike” targeting the Ukrainian leadership if that happened.

The US and its allies previously appeared to be reluctant to supply Ukraine with longer-range weapons capable of striking targets deep inside Russia as they were concerned about a potential escalation of the conflict. Washington has not yet agreed to send tactical ballistic missiles with a distance of up to 300 kilometers to Ukraine. Such missiles can be used by the US-made HIMARS multiple rocket launchers the US handed over to Kiev.

However, according to the spokesman for the army of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), Eduard Basurin, Ukrainian forces may have already received 300km-range HIMARS missiles. DPR troops have found pieces of munitions with a range of 110 kilometers to 120 kilometers, which meant that Kiev could have the 300km-missiles as well, Basurin told the Russian media last week.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Wednesday that the West’s persistence in pumping Ukraine with long-range weapons, including the HIMARS,was already making Moscow reconsider the goals of its military operation in the neighboring country. They now go beyond Donbass and include several other Ukrainian regions, he added.

Kremlin comments on military casualty claims

Even the most reputable newspapers do not shun fake news, the Kremlin spokesman said

Kremlin spokesmanDmitry Peskov has rejected a New York Times report on the scale of Russia’s losses in Ukraine, accusing the paper of unquestionably repeating government talking points.

“This is not a statement by the US administration, this is a newspaper report,” he said. “These days, even the most reputable newspapers do not shun spreading various fakes. Unfortunately, such practices have become increasingly common. This is the way we should treat it.”

On Thursday, The New York Times reported that the Biden administration believes that Russia had lost as many as 75,000 soldiers killed or wounded in action during the Ukraine conflict. As a source, the outlet cited an anonymous legislator that had allegedly seen a classified briefing from the State Department, Department of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

Meanwhile, The Times cautioned that casualty estimates for militaries on both sides are highly speculative, noting that figures may differ by tens of thousands.

The last time Russia officially updated its losses was on March 25, when the Defense Ministry reported that 1,351 military personnel had been killed and 3,825 wounded in combat since the beginning of the offensive in Ukraine. In June, the head of the Russian Duma’s Defense Committee, Andrey Kartapolov, claimed that, due to changes in military strategy, the Russian Army has “practically ceased to lose people.”

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has conceded that his nation’s armed forces are sustaining heavy losses. Last week, he said that Kiev loses around 30 personnel in combat a day, which is significantly less than in May and June, when the death toll amounted to 100-200 troops a day.

On July 4, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu announced that over the previous two weeks alone, Ukraine had lost almost 5,500 troops, including more than 2,000 killed.

US lawmakers want Russia labeled sponsor of terrorism

The nonbinding resolution has been unanimously approved by the Senate

A nonbinding resolution calling upon US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to designate Russia a sponsor of terrorism was unanimously approved by the Senate on Wednesday.

According to the bill, introduced bySenators Lindsey Graham(R-SC) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Moscow deserves this label for its actions in Russia’s Chechnya, as well as Georgia, Syria, and Ukraine, resulting “in the deaths of countless innocent men, women and children.”

The bill blamed Russian forces for committing war crimes during the ongoing military operation in Ukraine and attempting to cover them up, echoing talking points made by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky over the past few months. Moscow has been consistently denying these claims, accusing the US-backed Kiev forces and mercenaries of targeting civilians.

Graham and Blumenthal visited Kiev earlier in July to meet with Zelensky and promote their push to designate Russia as a sponsor of terrorism. The Ukrainian leader “thanked the senators for this important activity,” his office said….
