In a new "can't make this shit up" . moment, Maria Zakharova gets a call during her live presser today, and you can hear a male voice tell her to not comment the ICBM launch. Is this another Moscow4 moment, or is it a staged poker bluff meant for the West?

@MenInBlazers Hazard 2.0? 🙏

"I wish I never made this film" - 20 Days in Mariupol just won the Oscar for Best Documentary, the first Oscar in Ukrainian history. Watch it, share it, and help build support right now while Ukraine needs it most.

@FrankKhalidUK They are closer to scoring than any of the Chelsea front 3 😂

If I were to comment on this russian brutality, I would be banned. So, I am just going to leave the text from one of my acquaintances: 1/n

This is a truly excellent article: salon.com/2023/07/29/how… The soviet union that invaded us, like the russian federation invading Ukraine right now, are just rebranded russian empires - as the article well explains. Yet the international discourse about russia has been shaped by russian imperial denialism, the erasure of its victims, and the marginalisation of Russia’s neighbours and their perspectives. Russia’s neighbours have patiently accommodated this, having to listen to lectures about how russia is modernising and we’re just too emotional or paranoid or russiaphobic to understand there’s no more threat from them. We’re done with that. We’re asserting our agency and our perspectives - and, fortunately, more people than ever before are listening. Many “russia experts” - who could previously saunter between the studios of RT and respectable western media outlets to spill their takes imbued with russian chauvinism - are still coming to terms with the fact that their game is up. They lash out at the “pro-Ukraine infowar industry” because they can’t understand that there are many millions of people whose very real experiences of russia don’t match the perspectives they learnt in Moscow. But they got russia totally wrong over decades - right up to the moment that russia’s full scale invasion force was poised for genocide against Ukraine. We got russia right. It is past time for the rest of the world to open its eyes to the reality of russian imperialism, which threatens the entire world’s anti-imperial system of sovereign nations. A minor quibble with the article is that it mentions the re-occupation of the Baltic states after WW2 without mentioning the start of the occupation as a result of the nazi-soviet pact, which also started WW2. It comes back to the world’s failure to understand russian imperialism that we can’t assume something as significant as that is already widely known. Nevertheless, it’s a good article so read it, share it, and help change the discussion of russia so we can all finally break its cycle of imperial aggression. #GoodTakes

Not Kakhovka Dam alone: Russia destroys dams in occupied Zaporizhzhia region to stop Ukraine’s counter offensive khpg.org/en/1608812358

I looked a bit into the construction of the Nova Kakhovka dam in the early 1950s... turns out the dam was specifically designed to withstand direct hits (!) by US Air Force strategic bombing. Ukraine doesn't have anything remotely capable to blow up this massive concrete 1/2

There is something especially sick about the fact that the same expert Alexey Anpilogov—who had been arguing since 2022 that Russia must destroy Ukraine's dams and bridges—appeared on the same program to blame Ukraine for destroying the Nova Kakhovka dam. youtube.com/watch?v=tEB1DG…

0/10 The Nova Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine, controlled by Russia, has been destroyed. This brings humanitarian, ecological, and economic disaster to Ukrainians. Here are some guidelines for writing about this catastrophe.

How is @mfa_russia still chairing the UN @security Council? How is Lavrov still making speeches in New York and shaking hands with everyone while Russia does this to Ukraine? Please share - this needs to be seen by as many people as possible.

Hello dear world. You probably have important things to do. And in Ukraine today, russia hit a residential high-rise building with a missile. If Ukraine had F-16s, they could shoot down this missile. But dear world, you don't give us F-16s so we can defend our homes.

I have posted this before but .. 26 years ago, a gunman entered Dunblane Primary School in Scotland, killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK govt responded by enacting tight gun control legislation. In the 9400+ days since, there have been a total of O school shootings in the UK.

For over a year, RF has been slaughtering Ukrainians in Europe using the tricolor & V/Z swastika. An elite fashion house focused on "Russian nouveau riche" chose to publicly toy with the symbols of aggression. Luxury smells better when it's drenched in blood, right @LouisVuitton?

This letter “Z” on the dog’s nose brought tears into my eyes today. The dog’s name is Zhulik; he licked my hand. He was scared after occupation, but he trusts people again. But why, Russians? Because you can? When Russian leaders will be in jail, it will be for Zhulik’s pain too.
