#Opinion by Maria Zakharova

What do a racist, a colonialist and a Western neoliberal have in common?

I'll tell you using examples from the Anglo-Saxon world.

Here's Joe Biden speaking from the podium about the importance of engaging with the indigenous peoples of the US, Native Americans.

Only Indians in the US still live on reservations, and some communities, about half of them, don't even have their own reservations: of 574 tribes, only 326 live on reservations. The rest continue to fight for their rights, but, of course, to no avail. Biden himself recognises this, “Indigenous communities still live in the shadows of the failed policies of the past.” He stated this at the recent Tribal Nations Summit. However, discrimination against Native Americans continues within the reservations as well and tribal people get lower wages, are not hired for government jobs, and crime is on the rise.

Now, with regard to Australia, the unthinkable is happening there in this department: the authorities continue to take children away from the Aborigines even in the 21st century. This absolutely genocidal practice – where children are taken away not only from their families, but also from their traditional culture – has become an everyday occurrence in Anglo-Saxon Australia. The issue is about targeted and purposeful destruction of the mechanism for passing along cultural heritage from generation to generation. Local residents are suing the authorities, because their children have been kidnapped, but most likely the lawsuit is a non-starter. The judges will not assume this kind of responsibility with the potential political implications. Both the International Criminal Court (ICC), which is only paying lip service to children's issues, and London, with whose consent all this is happening, remain silent and approve of such practices.

Let’s spend a moment discussing Canada, a country that is notorious for its closed boarding schools for indigenous children. There is a spike in ultra-violence against representatives of non-titular ethnicities. And it's not just Native Americans and Jews, the number of attacks against whom has increased significantly since the flare-up in the Middle East.

They had better address their own deep-running issues before telling others what to do.

Politico's "Number 1 Disruptor," the head of Russia's Central Bank, the Nightmare of the Official West, and Anti-Sanctions Queen, Elvira Nabiullina, gave an extended interview to RBK (her first in two years!), which RT translated. The biggest takeaway is that Russia has been preparing for the current sanctions scenario for years.

Kiev. Over 5 strikes reported.

Looks like one of the missiles (possibly Ukrainian AD) hit a shopping center in Dnepropetrovsk.

Out of the 10 strikes reported in the city, this is the only released footage.
