"We are the owners and administrators of several Russian non-political telegram channels. We don't do politics. But we consider it important to provide unbiased information about what is happening in Ukraine and on the territories of Donbass, because we see signs of an information war launched against Russia....We do not want ordinary people to feel anxious and panicked because of information wars."...Possibly funded by Russian Federation which means you won't hear anything good about it on US tv networks.

“U.S. weapons will help Ukraine liberate the Donbass, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said.

“First and foremost, American weapons will help us liberate the Donbass and return Ukrainian territories,” he said in his speech at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in New York early on Sept. 19 [2017].

Poroshenko expressed regret that the issue of providing Ukraine with lethal weapons still remained controversial and unresolved. [Trump approved at least two lethal weapons sales to Ukraine: In Dec. 2017 Trump approved $41.5 million sale of lethal weapons to Ukraine to kill Russians.….In Oct. 2019 Trump approved another $39 million in lethal weapons sales to Ukraine]

He refuted an argument by Russian representatives that “American weapons cannot help resolve the situation in Ukraine”

– “in fact, it can.”

“They [Russian representatives] also use the arguments that the provision by Americans of weapons to our country will further escalate the conflict, but this is absolutely untrue. Why not take this positive decision and save more Ukrainians lives?” Poroshenko said.

He recalled that the lives of many Ukrainian soldiers had been saved thanks to cooperation with the United States, including in the sphere of humanitarian assistance.”
