Dominica government concerned about situation along Russia- Ukraine border

The Dominican government has said that it is very concerned about the situation along the Russian Federation-Ukraine border.

“We believe the issues relating to tensions between Russia and Ukraine, need to be addressed through diplomatic efforts. A military solution will not redound to the benefit of any nation,” a release from the Office of the Prime Minister states.

According to the OPM statement, the matter poses a threat to international peace and security and will lead to unprecedented implications for the global community.

It goes on to state that the world can ill-afford armed conflict during this period of global uncertainty, which will result in adverse social and economic impacts and political strife.

“Dominica calls for de-escalation dialogue to ease tensions and secure a nonviolent resolution to the conflict; and the charting of a path to peace for the safety and security of all,” the statement concludes.

Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union until its 1991 collapse, and since then Russia has sought to keep the neighbour in its orbit. The separatist conflict in Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland, known as the Donbas, short for Donetsk Basin, erupted in April 2014. That came a few weeks after Russia annexed Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula following the ouster of a Moscow-friendly president by a popular uprising in the capital of Kyiv.

Armed rebels in the mostly Russian-speaking eastern region seized government buildings and proclaimed “people’s republics” in the Donetsk and the Luhansk regions, and the Ukrainian military and volunteer battalions moved to put down the unrest.

Ukraine and the West said Russia sent troops and weapons to the east to support the separatists. Moscow has denied those claims and insisted that Russians fighting alongside the rebels went there on their own.

    Hey world, the double doctorate dude has just spoken. What a waste of time and energy as if anyone or any country which has some skin in the game care about what this stuttering, bungling clown has to say on international matters between world super powers. There are issues in Guadeloupe and Martinique which are a stone’s throw from Dominica and how involved is this imposter? Considering that many Dominicans live in the French overseas territories. There is also turmoil in Haiti, and what has the joker done to help resolve the mess. Garcon keep your nose in things in which you can have a positive influence not in superpower posturing. What about the myriad of issues in Dominca like the disappearing competitive banking sector, the terrible state of the college, and the list goes on. Cockroach got no business in fowl fight. Compawayzon, this must be a distraction. Anny parwol sott.

    I guess you are concerned that Carbon will order Bannis and his trigger-happy and expired grenade recruits unto the Russian frontlines when China gets involved, and that will leave you and your empire unmanned. I think instead of being concerned about that issue you can turn your attention to the many issues in your back door. Your back door is impregnated with issues. Be concerned about them, and find a way to have most or all of them aborted before turning your attention to Russia/Ukraine. Let us know via what legal port of entry do all these Haitians and Chinese runaways enter Dominica, let us locate this $4.2 billion, tell the nation via what route (you) took to Dubai and how much was this extravagant journey cost, and the list goes on and on. And have no fear that your bank account in Belarus will vanish.

    Who cares about Roosevelt concern over the affairs, or situation between Ukraine And Russia!

    This little nobody; that little black wetback half of a ballad-head river rat little scavenger rat yearns to be recognized as some political leader of some place! Roosevelt you are a so called (prime minister) of a country, which is the poorest, the most backward place on planet earth!

    Your voice is heard only by the few red devils whom prays at your feet for a handout; of rice and salt fish, and whatever you give to them every five years, I only hope that expired Ham are not stored to be distributed the day prior to election eh!

    Roosevelt, how can you a small dictator over less than fifty thousand people be concerned, when the member nations of NATO are not worried? NATO is an international organization which consists of the the United States, Canada, Britain, and other European nations, with the fire power to help are calm, while you talking crap!

      “Up to 8,500 US forces have been placed on “heightened alert” for potential deployment to eastern Europe amid growing tensions between Washington and Moscow over Ukraine, the Pentagon announced Monday.
      Defense Department press secretary John Kirby stressed during his regular briefing that no final decision had been made about whether to send troops to the region as part of a 40,000-strong NATO Response Force (NRF) in the event Russia invades its western neighbor.
      “We’ll continue to provide updates in the coming days about these decisions,” Kirby said. “But specifically this will ensure that the United States and our commitment to the NRF has – is consistent with their readiness for rapid deployment again, if activated.”
      Kirby further clarified that the troops would likely be considered “ground forces,” as well as that the NRF can only be activated by NATO rather than President Biden.”
      Note: The United States has already delivered millions of dollars worth of arms and ammunition…

        Cont:

        I cannot resists saying that little worm Roosevelt Skerrit and the puppets who serve him as ministers, are desperately trying to wiggle their heads through one of earths hardest materiel which is granite rocks trying to gain recognition; from a world of big and important government which does not know where or if Dominica exists.

        All they might be asking is: “where is Dominica.”

        In Spanish they asks Donde esta’ Dominica
        In French they asks Ou’ est La Dominique
        In German they asks Wo ist Dominica

        Now in Ukrainian language they might be asking: day zankahoditsya Dominica. I am not sure if day znakhoditsya Dominica is correct, in any event, since Roosevelt have so much doctorates, you know, all dem Ph. D’s he may have one in Ukrainian so he can tell we oui!

        Hahahahahahahahahahahah!

    So when China was threatening to invade Honk Kong, was Dominica not concerned? Did the government of Dominica ever call for diplomacy or diplomatic efforts? Why is PM Skerrit so concerned this time? Does he have cocoa in sun somewhere in Russia or Ukraine and he fears for rain? PM you think if the US and their friends from the West get involved that could affect you in Dominica?

    February 2, 2022

    First, Let’s be clear people; Dominica government is one damn man.
    Money god should be and must be very concerned about tension in between the Russia / Ukrainian boarder for many reasons:
    1. Money god knows damn well that if Russia invaded Ukraine the US and it’s friends will get involved
    2. Since China is a close friend of Russia and Dominica that would send a very strong message to China if they ever try to invade their neighbors
    3. It’s been alleged that lots of Russians posses CBI passports of Dominica and money god would be exposed
    4. It’s been alleged that Dominica through money god played a significant role in the 2016 US presidential election on behalf of Russia and an invasion would open a can of worm
    5. Should Russia invade Ukrain, the US and its allies would put a lot of sanctions on Russia, which would expose Maltas corrupt business and there would be a lot of casualties especially with their corrupt CBI friends in here. So I understand why money god is very…

    Yours truly the almighty illustrious PM should send some of his “military advisors” to Ukraine so they can get some practice in crowd control. Russia is concerned about the opinion of the Dominican government and its vast resources and expertise in military matters.

Hey Elephant, are you tired now? No! Why? Because I see a Fly been sitting on your back for a long time. Elephant = 🇷🇺 Fly = Dominica 🇩🇲 Is Skerrit being converted? I thought this nut was communist! But now since the British were recently here Skerrit is crossing over to a more “Democratic” pasture. But his works (and not his words) proves to the World that SKERRIT IS A COMMUNIST.

    :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ……. well is either somebody in the Office of the Prime Minister is bored or is looking for attention on the world stage.

    Can the Office of the Prime Minister let us know whether it is also concerned about the borders of Dominica re: illegal migration into & out of Dominica via ‘the backdoor(s)’ and what tangible and serious steps are being taken to protect & better secure the Dominican borders.

    Can somebody also ask the Office of the Prime Minister to explain what has happened to the northern Coast Guard base for which grounds were broken for construction in 2012 & which was to be financed with a US $1.7 million grant. I’m sure the northern Coast Guard base would have helped with the ‘porous’ northern borders of Dominica.

    Reminder y’all – https://dominicanewsonline.com/news/homepage/news/economy-development/ground-breaking-for-northern-coast-guard-base-new-vessels-commissioned/

    So nothing was said about the Venezuela and Guyana conflict over the Esequibo but our government worrying about Russia and Ukraine? Those people have their system running for the longest while. The US just start making a big deal out of it becuase the current regime want something to distract from their absolute failure on the economy. And with he rona panic wearing off they need something new to keep people in a frenzy. We had 4 years with no major conflicts now all of a sudden we on the brink of world war III?

      Ever heard of the G20?
      The G20 or Group of Twenty is an intergovernmental forum comprising 19 countries and the European Union (EU). It works to address major issues related to the global economy, such as international financial stability, climate change mitigation, and sustainable development.[3]

      The G20 is composed of most of the world’s largest economies, including both industrialized and developing nations, and accounts for around 90% of gross world product (GWP), [4] 75–80% of international trade, [b] two-thirds of the global population, [2] and roughly half the world’s land area.

      Gary where does Roosevelt Crooked Roosevelt fit into that?
