According to the International Criminal Court, over 100,000 Ukrainian children have been kidnapped by Putin's military, then deported by the Russian military and sent to reeducation camps inside Russia. Estimates of up to 700,000 kids have been forcibly removed or deported from their homes. Russia's plan is to erase Ukrainian identity by creating orphans and kidnapping the children. This is genocide.
This is Oleksandr from Mariupol. Russian soldiers separated boy and his mother in filtration camp in March, 2022. He has not seen his mother since then. Every year on June 4th, the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression acknowledges the pain that children around the world suffer. We must stop this terror now. World must hold Russia accountable for its actions.
OTD in 1996, Ukraine had transferred the last of the nuclear warheads on its territory to Russia.
In 2014, when Russia invaded Ukraine for the first time, the Budapest Memorandum was violated by terrorist russian state.
Russia violated its agreement to have peace and protection with neighbor Ukraine. The Russian aggressor also threatens nuclear war with Ukraine. Clearly, the wrong nation disarmed.
Russia violated its security agreement. Russia war of genocide must be stopped.
Journalists from the New York Times have conducted an investigation for many months and conducted over 110 interviews to trace a network of Russian politicians kidnapping Ukrainian children - a war crime.
This is very important for future criminal investigations of Russian war crimes.
A Deep Dive into Corruption. MOL oil money comes from Putin, Russia fbs criminals to finance disinformation and propaganda operations in Europe to target freedom and the rule of law. 🚨
What a bastard….article 7 time! Orbáns' Scandalous Propaganda Empire Exposed.
Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC), the right-wing aka fascist Hungarian educational institution funded by Viktor Orbán’s rightwing government, has been expanding internationally. It opened a centre in #Brussels, bought a university in #Vienna and has plans for new branches in other western European cities, including London.
Its' views are closely aligned with fascist Orbán, and it funds academics who disseminate Orbán’s positions to extend his influence across Europe and beyond.
MCC has tremendous financial backing, receiving more than £1.3bn in Hungarian state funding in 2020. MCC offers can be hard to turn down. It provides funding, scholarships, housing, invitations to lavish dinners, open-bar parties, trips abroad & more $$
"From what I have seen of them, I have no particular desire to understand them, except to ascertain how much lead or iron it takes to kill them." "In addition, the Russian has no regard for human life and is an all-out son of a bitch, barbarian, and chronic drunk."
⚡️ A Russian propaganda operation was meant to present pro-Kremlin oligarch Viktor Medvedchuk to the international public as a potential replacement for President Volodymyr Zelensky, the Washington Post (WP) reported on June 3. Medvedchuk deserted Ukraine for Russia after his arrest for Treason, this traitor is Vladimir Putin's right-hand man- the wanted war criminal.
These nazi monsters must be permanently neutralized.
@SocraticEthics
OK, NATO is insufficient. But have you seen Russia?! Taiwan is the next hotspot, provided the war in Ukraine is a return to square one for Russia.
Russian military personnel from Stavropol, who refused to serve due to health issues such as cancer, tuberculosis, and mental illness, were deceived and sent to the front lines in the "DPR" under the pretext of being taken for questioning. Their relatives reported the incident, expressing their concerns and demanding the return of their loved ones to Russia for treatment. This case is part of a growing trend in Russia, where "refuseniks" are being sent to the front lines. https://t.me/astrapress/56957
I think #russia is trying to "filter" out those who are incarcerated and/or a burden on government services (health/welfare) by sending them to the #meatgrinder
Russian propagandists on their 'discussion show' started threathening Poland again with nuclear strikes.
"In 10-15 minutes, and Poland as a state, and the Poles as a people, will dissapear from the face of the earth along with their language. The Europeans should understand this very well, and think about what they are doing."
Possibly not widely known fact. Putin owns 51% of the stock directly or indirectly of Gazprom. 5% of the stock personally, another 46% through his son-in-law..With respect to Rosneft oil he has Ru 2nd strongman Sechin (former KGB general) as the CEO.
News: Germany Bundeswehr General Christian Freuding indicated that Ukrainian forces able to target Russian aircraft over Russia with their German-supplied weapons. Thank you, Germany.
Waiting for the ever promised massive Russian escalation and nuclear apocalypse resulting from Ukraine now firing western weapons at targets inside Russia.
Archer-Daniels-Midland (ADM), an American agricultural giant, has a close partnership in Russia with Aston Foods, a major Russian agribusiness a new #hntrbrkmedia
investigation revealed may be complicit in the theft of grain from occupied Ukrainian territories.
Name another country where 508,000, over half-million people could die in a futile war and still, not only is the country not on the brink of revolt, people are pretty chill about the whole thing.
⚡️A poll released on May 30 by the Levada Center, a Russian independent polling organization, found that 71% of respondents believed Russia is "going in the right direction," and another 87% said they supported Russian President Vladimir Putin.
A lot of external and even emigre observers with a Moscowcentric view of Russia tend to underplay how hierarchically stratified Russian society is in class terms.
The bleeding out of the lower working class and rural poor often just evinces a shrug from other class groups.
Small steps. It's good that Ukraine now has the permssion to use HIMARS for counterbattery fire and to strike forces heading over border. But if they can't use ATACMS to strike depots, airfields and training grounds, or Patriot to drop russian bombers at max range from the border, the job isnt done yet.
Ukraine must be free to defend itself from invasion and terrorism.
130,000 war crimes. Millions of lives ruined. The world has seen so many horrible things done by Russian soldiers. Now, it's time for justice. The First Global Peace Summit, organized by Ukraine and Switzerland, will take place in Bürgenstock on June 15 and 16. This is where all democratic leaders will gather to restore world order and finally bring peace to the world. The aggressor must pay for all the damage caused! Putin must release and return the 4 million Ukrainians hostages held in Russia.
Not all #Kharkiv residents survived the night. Putin’s army murdered Ukrainians in their sleep.
Russian invaders hit a multi-storey residential building destroying several floors. It was home to hundreds of Ukrainians. As of now, 6 people died and 25 more were injured. Rescuers continue to clear the rubble and search for bodies. Many are missing.
Russian terrorists deliberately used a double-tap tactic during strike to increase the number of victims. #Ukraine

Russian BTR-82 hidden somewhere deep under anti-drone cages. As the commentator in the video says, there are no electronic warfare systems installed on it. Heavy camouflage.
Active measures is a term used to describe political #warfare conducted by the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation. The term, which dates back to the 1920s, includes operations such as espionage, propaganda, sabotage and assassination, based on foreign policy objectives of the Soviet and Russian governments against the United States and democratic western countries. Active measures have continued to be used by Vladimir Putin to control US politics through disinformation that enable controlling the Republican party.
Republican and russian disinformation warfare or active measures.
Disinformation, psychological warfare "PsyOp" will continue to increase for the next six months to influence the #2024election.
It's literally impossible to contend with all the stupid. These propagandists won't stop. It's about volume. Every second of every day it will be some new conspiracy theory.. Their goal is to shred the judiciary and elevate the unitary executive. They're fascists. Vote for democrats.
