He was mobilized in December 2022, in January he ended up in Ukraine as part of the 136th brigade, which is now located near #Vuhledar. The unit was sent there to replace the 155th brigade, which, according to him, "went like meat in columns through minefields."

Russian Community Intervenes for the Wounded Volunteers
Initially, we did not want to publicize our work. We were afraid of damaging the special operation and lowering morale. /1

But today, there are already stories in the press from wounded fighters who took part in the Special Military Operation (SMO) as contractors of the BARS system. /2
<When seeking to define #genocide, Lemkin highlighted the crimes committed by the Soviet regime in #Ukraine. He saw the #Kremlin’s systematic efforts to destroy the #Ukrainian nation as a “classic example of Soviet genocide”> atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainea…
"The central event of the #SovietUnion’s genocidal campaign in #Ukraine was the murder of + 4million #Ukrainians through artificial famine in the early 1930s. The Soviet authorities experienced almost no negative consequences as a result of this unparalleled slaughter" #Genocide
That's one of the weirdest videos I have seen from the Russian military (trimmed in two parts).
An armless and head-injured Russian soldier in Ukraine is given an order in a hospital room, but he cannot take it, and someone hangs it up on him.

Second part:
The armless man is poured with vodka, saying, "Dear comrades and officers. We've been to places that are scary to remember. Although this situation happened to me, I would like to say there is no point in being discouraged; everything will be fine.”

After the speech, the assembled disabled neighbors applaud. And the mother happily says, "Oh, you clever boy!"

"Where are you going? At least they don't shoot in here," I kept hearing from people around.
Like me, they felt uncomfortable under #RussianOccupation but fear of the unknown paralysed their desire to live free. Fear & uncertainty cost them freedom.

Before #UkraineRussiaWar, a 230-kilometre distance from Berdyansk, a port city west of #Mariupol, to #Zaporizhia in the Southeast of Ukraine could be easily done in 3 hours by minibus.
In May, this route took people fleeing Berdyansk three days.

Informants & traitors make up the backbone of "punitive bodies" in #Russia-occupied areas of #Ukraine: local councillors from pro-Russian parties, law enforcement officials of various ranks & #Kherson residents who have been opposing de-Sovietization in pre-war times.

Traitors have been long engaged in collecting information about the situation on the ground, leaking details of pro-Ukrainian activists & military. After #RussianOccupation their work became "legal".
Still, Russian collaborators remain scarce in numbers.

Increbidle at the first sight story of 10-year-old Ilia Matvienko is common for thousands of Ukrainian children. Right after #RussiaInvadedUkraine the little boy & his mom from #Mariupol found a protection from shellings in a basement until one day irreversibly changed everything
That time an attack caught them outside and a couple rushed to a neighbors' house but failed to get there safely. Despite receiving a severe head injury Ilya’s mother, Natalia, managed to carry her wounded son to the apartment of their acquaintances alone.
Right after reaching safety the mom died in Ilia embraces. The city was took by #RussianSoldiers the next day and kidnapped boy was deportated to the occupied part of #Donbas. Ilia, whose injuried leg almost got amputated there, was returned to #Ukraine by his grandma
In order to create an attractive picture of 'liberated' #Mariupol for media #Russia's launched damaged waterworks which cases flooding in all basements - the only home and safe shelter for over 150 000 people. Now they live on streets full of #RussianSoldiers

As Russia blocks evacuation and any humanitary efforts from Ukraine, blocked Mariupol residents receive food only from Russia that daily provides 3000 individual servings. The access to drinking water is limited due to little supplying and bad position of distribution centers
But grim realities of the humanitarian crisis in Mariupol is overshadowed by the upcoming health crisis: the metropolis wiped out by Russia within a month keeps ~20 000 of corpses under the rubble. As Russia can't quickly lift the overwhelming number of wreckages and bury remains
#Russia #NewsfromMordor Russian watchdog Roskomnadzor is preparing sanctions against Google, Telegram, Meta, Discord, Pinterest and Twitch. The Ministry of Education is ready to discuss Medinsky's proposal to introduce a prayer for the glory of Russia in schools.
#Russia #NewsfromMordor Medvedev: "No restrictions on the return of the death penalty in Russia, everything will depend on the situation. The moratorium may remain, if everything is calm, or be revised if necessary."
#Russia An Interior Ministry official arrested for spreading "fakes" about war, was charged for speaking on the phone, allegedly spreading "knowingly false information." He called his acquaintances in the Crimea and the Moscow region. No permission to tap his phone, says lawyer
The muzzling of independent #Russia media, incl. #NovayaGazeta, is a huge blow. In my forthcoming book about #HumanRights heroes, I profile NG cofounder Anna Politkovskaya. Her relentless #reporting on Chechnya shed light on a horrific conflict. THREAD laphamsquarterly.org/contributors/p…
#Politkovskaya kept her focus on the human toll. Unlike some who craved war reporting, Politkovskaya said she was “afraid of everything that shoots.” Yet she was determined. Even @Novaya_Gazeta “cut out the toughest parts” she wrote/2 newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/h…
“People call the newspaper & send letters with one and the same question,” she once wrote. “Why are you writing about this? Why are you scaring us? Why do we need to know this?"/3

#war #Kyiv #Ukraine #Russia Collecting all reports thread; Ukraine's operational command says "cruise and ballistic missile strikes are underway at the control centres in Kyiv" from @lukeharding1968 Friends report explosions in #Kyiv, #Odessa #Kharkiv #Mykolaev thread, add info
Targets include airfields and military headquarters, operational command says
"Distant crumps - soft explosions - reported from west Kyiv, towards the airport. Not Cruise missiles, i think, but sounds like an attack on the airport." @JohnSweeney
