TheVoiceOfJoyce Not since Hitler, has another country attempted to claim 15-18 % of another European nation by force. Putin prepares to annex 4 provinces in Ukraine today, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk and Luhansk. Russian Sam 300 missiles fired on a humanitarian corridor of cars, approaching a Russian checkpoint, murdering civilians outside Zaporizhzhia. This was a known established route for aide and relief, if Ukrainians were “willing” to become Russian citizens, why bomb this known convoy? Fierce fighting continues in the Luthansk region, in spite of the Referendums. Ukraine’s counteroffensive is not stopping, no matter what Putin declares. As predicted, Russia’s new recruits have been sent to the front lines and many are already in retreat and surrounded. The Ukrainians are not giving up territory and seek to turn Putin’s initial victory into defeat.

TheVoiceOfJoyce News is not coming fast enough on Zelensky’s counteroffensive. Are new Ukrainian plans and preparations, made to liberate Ukrainian citizens trapped in the 4 regions, awaiting annexation by Putin? What then? Will Putin continue to use Ukrainians as human shields? In Putin’s war, everyone but him, is expendable. Prior to the sham Referendums, the Nord Stream pipeline linking Russia to Europe, was bombed, leaving plumes of methane gas in the Baltic Sea, further deteriorating our climate’ s ability to mitigate Climate extremes . Sabotage by Russia is assumed and must be verified. Russian citizens are still leaving Russia for other Countries to avoid conscription. And so we wait, wondering how Zelensky can continue to out smart Putin. L’Shana Tova

TheVoiceOfJoyce The Ukrainian Russian War gets more complicated daily. On day 216, Putin is calling no up troops and they’re not going to be conscripted readily. Many young Russians have been jailed (2600), for avoiding War. The lines of Russians escaping to Georgia, Estonia & Zaporizhzhia are increasing. Once the Russians get to the towns holding referendums, will they fight for Ukraine? On Friday, Putin addresses Parliament, sealing the fate of his newly formed colonies & 15% of Ukrainian territory. Ukrainians are not giving up on their Counteroffensive and there’s intense fighting in 3 regions. The UN declares Russia has committed War Crimes and the Japanese ambassador was held in Russia for hours of interrogation before being released and making matters worse for Europe, the Nordstrom pipeline has sprung leaks between Sweden and Denmark, complicating their deteriorating energy supply. War’s end depends upon Zelensky and not Putin. Support for a free sovereign Ukraine continues to grow.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Day 213 and there’s activities on the Finnish border, as young Russians escape the Russian draft. Now that white collar job holders are exempt from the draft, Putin is targeting the poor and hopes to conscript young Ukrainian men, from the 4 regions holding sham Referendums. Ukraine has no choice, they must disrupt the balloting process and continue their counteroffensive as quickly as possible. In Putin’s mind, the Referendums, at gun point, make the 4 territories Russian territory, in need of defenses. That’s his delusion, the reality, Ukraine is winning the Counteroffensive. They must be prepared to push through all Russian territory and have a firm control of their Country, before pushing Russians back to Russia. Putin must be desperate for cash, if he’s asking to let Russian fertilizer sales resume. These sales should be conditional on leaving Ukraine, stopping the Referendums and agreeing to a Ceasefire. The War continues.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Will anyone think the Referendums taking place in Luthansk, Donetsk, Kherson & Zaporizhzhia are Legitimate? What about the 900,000-1.6 million deported to Russia? Sham Referendums to secure an increase in Russian military aid, can’t work? Will the people have a free choice? Not likely. Already, 6700 people have left Russia for the West. More are fleeing from Russia to escape the draft. Protesters are being rounded up to serve in the Russian army. The Ukrainian counteroffensive can’t stop and must push forward, even while Referendums are held. Retaking Russian controlled territory is a military imperative. Meanwhile, in a sign of goodwill, the Chinese representative to the UN is offering to help broker Peace with Russia. Prisoner exchanges by Saudi Arabia included Roman Abramovich , Chelsea United’s owner. What happens after day 212?

TheVoiceOfJoyce The Russian people no longer want War. Conscription for many, especially in Moscow and St Petersburg is being protested. Young people are trying to get one way passage out of Russia. The Ukrainian troops are on the offensive and won’t stop. Referendums? They were being called for Russia’s protection. Russian troops will not stop the Ukrainian Counteroffensive at this time. Between now and November, with the proper weapons, the War must favor the Ukrainians. The quicker all Nations understand this War effects them , too, the quicker we’ll see a ceasefire and Peace. It’s not Ukraine’ s plan to starve their people or the Asian and Global South. Nor do Ukrainians want their Nuclear Power Plant to be at risk. A demilitarized zone is being negotiated with Russia. Grains are leaving Ukrainian ports. Thanks to Turkey and Saudi Arabia prisoner exchanges are happening.

Bolsonaro openly plundered the Amazon Rain Forest for profit, ignoring the Rights of the Indigenous People and our Planet. Not only the Indigenous people are displaced by illegal gold mining, farming and deforestation. The entire Planet has lost a significant amount of Carbon Absorption. The Amazon trapped 25% of the World’s Carbon emissions. No more. The amount of devastation has forced the Indians from their lands, dried up their rivers and has made it impossible for them to survive. As an interconnected planet, if they die out and their fish die, we all lose. The Indians want to control their region. They want to reclaim their land. Who will help the? Who will push back the interlopers? Who will help them sue major Corporations to stop the their plunder ? So many marginalized in our World? Will the UN evolve to be a force for change?

TheVoiceOfJoyce It’s almost impossible to believe, Putin now considers Russia on a War footing and has mobilized an unwilling 300,000 reservists, desperate to leave Russia. Within minutes of Putin’s announcement, flights abroad were sold out and neighboring countries with Russia promised no sanctuary for Russian troops. The Russian puppet governments are holding referendums to annex their territories and receive Russian protection. The Referendum in Donbas, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia are supposed to occur next week. Threatened by the Ukrainian counteroffensive, Putin is again threatening nuclear War. Can the World’s people stop Putin’s aggression. Perhaps the next days at the UN will seek a Global conclusion to the massacre of innocent people.
