Footages by "Red" from DPA Open Mic
"Red" said that the Army head said that a new government will be formed.
DPA Note: I wonder if this would become some sort of inspiration/example for some of the other countries in the world to go through bloody protests (hundreds, some say thousands, died in the past month of anarchy) to overthrow their authoritarian regimes/dictators.

DPA OPEN MIC CHANNELS:
I'm answering here since the person's email failed to receive my email reply.
So here is the message to me:
"On YT u seem to be trying to give an honest picture of what is going on in Ukraine, which is rare. Most sites support one side or the other and pour on the propaganda, never giving a clear picture of what is going on there. I'm considering support in many ways but I do not support sites or people unless I can know which side they support? The West or Russia, freedom or dictatorship, aggressor or defender? Perhaps if u made this more clear u would gain more support from one side or the other?"
My answer:
Hi,
I live in the "western world", so I'm definitely have zero interest in the collapse of the west, BUT, I have do not like hypocrisy, woke nonsense, as well as all those self-destructive decision by the respective western countries.
I do not dislike Russia; but I'm not pro-Russia (whatever that supposed to mean), as there is no reason for me to pro them.
For Ukraine War, ...
