This man is responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of people, for the kidnap of children, for torture, rape, cultural destruction and millions of refugees, and he talks about "conservative" values? His only values are those of a criminal thug and serial liar

Russia shared an image of dirty bomb material as “proof” of its false claims. Only -wait for it- the photo, taken in 2010, is apparently of a pile of Slovenian smoke detectors. Russian disinfo: ridiculous, unsurprising… made with horrifying intent & devastating repercussions.

“I will remind you,” she says, that bodies were found lying uncollected in the streets, or dumped in mass graves. “And what was Putin’s response? He provided medals to the army unit that was staying in Bucha.”

An @AP/@frontlinepbs investigation finds the trail of violence during the invasion of Ukraine was not random. It was perpetrated within the command structures of the Russian military, and in the Kyiv suburbs it led to one of Putin's top generals. apnews.com/article/russia

Meanwhile in Russia: genocidal denials of the Ukrainian identity from the host and his guest. They claim that Ukrainians are just mentally ill Russians, whom they will "cure" once Russia wins. They propose destroying all Holodomor memorials. They discuss killing Americans. Watch:

When someone tells you who they are, believe them. The subtle dig in the overt horror of advocating drowning children: the river Tysyna in the Ukrainian folk song “Plyve Kacha” has moving lyrics btw mother & son as he goes off to war, the song played at Maidan protester funerals

Forcibly transferring people out of an occupied territory can be a war crime, and experts say the practice is especially thorny when it involves children, who may not be able to consent. Ukrainian officials accuse Russia of perpetrating a genocide. nyti.ms/3VOAgaV

Important 🧵 about the #Holodomor ~ how the history of genocide in Ukraine was suppressed and how it relates to Russia’s war today.
Quote Tweet
As a genocide scholar, this is an important, fact-based stance. Stalin nearly got away w/ this terrible crime. Now, declassified Soviet records allow us to study & see clear pattern of genocide in the #Ukrainian Holodomor.🧵1/ #UkraineRussia #Ukraine digitalcommons.usf.edu/gsp/vol15/iss2

Gen Surovikin, commander of Russian military operation vs Ukraine, told TASS “we and Ukrainians are one people and want one thing, that #Ukraine is a friendly state to #Russia." Bombing Ukraine's cities, killing its citizens, occupying and trying to annex its land won't do that.
