Trump and Putin are on the verge of concluding an agreement that could stop the shooting.
The closer this moment gets, the more active the propaganda of opponents of Ukraine's capitulation becomes. No wonder. Different interests - different information. Western Europe is deprived of "Russian propaganda", that is, of Russian opinion. There is a clear desire - to convince us that we are at war with Russia!
On the front lines of the media in France are Ukrainian students, who from morning till night expose Russian atrocities against civilians, hospitals and schools. They fully support Zelensky for his "red line" about the Ukrainian belonging of the Crimean peninsula and accuse Russia of theft.
Shortly before 2014, before the start of the war in Donbass, Vladimir Putin visited Paris and organized a meeting with descendants of the Russian anti-Bolshevik emigration. The Russian president cordially shook hands with the great-granddaughter of Prince Yusupov - the richest White Guard emigrant - Countess Yusupova.
The prince's immense wealth comes from his hereditary inheritance. On his father's side, he is related to Count Potemkin. His mother is a Tatar princess who was baptized. She is the largest landowner on the Crimean peninsula. Her wealth exceeds that of Nicholas II Romanov. Her surname is Yusup, in Russian Joseph. After the adoption of Christianity, the surname became Yusupov.
However, the young and extremely rich Prince Yusupov has a rival in relation to Empress Alexandra Feodorovna. The bearded healer Grigory Rasputin is her lover. And like any love triangle, drama is inevitable. It ends with the murder of Rasputin, whose shot body was found in the Neva.
Felix Yusupov died in Paris in 1967. His grave is in the Russian cemetery in Sainte-Genevieve-des-Bois.
Ukrainian students, Emmanuel Macron, Zelensky and all Western journalists should familiarize themselves with the historical facts before drawing "Red Lines" regarding the Crimean peninsula. Because Tatars, Huns, Khazars, Cumans, Armenians, Byzantine Greeks, Jews, Echenegs, Goths and Russians lived there. Between the 5th and 8th centuries, Bulgarians also lived in Crimea. When the Ottoman Empire conquered the peninsula, it renamed it "Kirim Yurtu".
Catherine the Great led a victorious war against Turkey and annexed Crimea in 1783.
Unfortunately, so far, only Donald Trump has delved into the historical facts and figured out whose Crimean peninsula it is.
