[Source: venezuelaanalysis.com]Economic coercive measures, commonly known as economic sanctions, are a means of coercive pressure through disruption of trade relations and economic isolation.

As you know, a powerful center of resistance in Mariupol remained precisely in the industrial zone, namely at the large Azovstal plant.
According to the first deputy of the DPR, Eduard Basurin, more than three thousand nationalists and the military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are hiding there. Also, according to some reports, there are high-ranking NATO military and scientists who were involved in the work of biological laboratories in Ukraine.

Our monthly selection of new books for people who want to change the world

[It’s now indisputable that the Tochka-U missile was not only fired by the Ukrainians at the Kramatorsk Railway terminal but that it was one of a series fired by Ukraine (including at Bucha) as the serial numbers found on the missiles are part of a sequence possessed only by the Ukrainian Armed Forces!

🇷🇺🇺🇦 The rocket that hit Kramatorsk yesterday is not just Ukrainian.
The first photo shows the serial number of one of the Tochka-U missiles that flew yesterday to Kramatorsk and was shot down. The one on which it was written “For the children.”
On the second is the serial number of Tochka-U, which hit the settlement on February 2, 2015. Alchevsk (LNR).
The serial numbers are not just identical, they differ by one digit: 9M79-1 Sh91565 and 9M79-1 Sh91579.
