Shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, @h_munzinger got in touch with a source. Over the span of several weeks, Hannes got hold of more than 5000 pages of documents. This secret trove forms the basis of the investigation we’re releasing today #VulkanFiles

This is a fascinating (and rare!) look into the ambitions of the Russian state. This rather small company of about 135 people was working for the #GRU, the #SVR and the #FSB.

I will highlight some of the takeaways in the coming hours and days but we have spent many months verifying the details contained within the documents, together with many partners, among others the @guardian

#BREAKING

#Finland's state deputy prosecutor has brought charges of gross misconduct against ethnic #Russia`n spy Georgij Alafuzoff. Alafuzoff has previously served as intelligence chief of @Puolustusvoimat & #EU military staff

#Turpo #Säkpol Image
@Puolustusvoimat Case have been open for years, but #Russia`n full scale operation in #Ukraine & #Finland`s desire to join #NATO has finally led to charges against #Russia`n spy.

He collected secret info & have given it to those who should not get them.

#Turpo #Säkpol
All should ask now how it is even legal & possible to point ethnic #Russia`n to command #Finland`s & #EU military intelligence. Western liberalism has go too far. Russian is Russian in every situation & Russians pursue Russian interests.

1/ Disinformation Alert 🚨! #NAFO #Ukraine #Russia #Odessa #USA #Russian You might have realized that since 7 days, there is an information ops targeting #Odessa in terms of „forced conscription“. Let’s take a look on this video. #nafofellas
2/ First of all I want to note one special detail which makes the story more funny. The soldiers in the video are really following their lists. The board is completely empty. That is simply bad acting #FSB. 😂 …
3/ when you delete videos because they were old and could point to a earlier use, don’t forget that evidence stays. 😂

In case you missed it, few weeks ago Russian Intelligence Service #SVR launched their own magazine called “Rasviedchik” (Intelligence officer). Let’s look into best gems of the first issue 1/🧵
The front page gives us a photo of Putin from December 2020 (a speech on the occasion of the 100th year of SVR) and a service slogan: “Our quest for knowledge is not for glory but to know the truth for the good of the State.” Catchy. 2/
Inside head of Service S. Narushkin greets us warmly. Remember, it is the same Sergey that was publicly humiliated by Putin last year. 3/

Russian cultural institutions raise eyebrows in Western counterintelligence. Not without reason. They are seen as a gateway for #SVR #GRU and #FSB. The A.S. Pouchkine Cultural Centre 32, rue Goethe in Luxembourg is also suspected of espionage. A few interesting details 1/10
In an undated interview, former Rossotrudnichestvo official Tatiana Poloskova criticises the cultural institution's involvement with intelligence services. Poloskova is a political analyst and state advisor of the Russian Federation. She knows Putin's power apparatus 2/10
Tatiana Poloskova: "Everyone knows that they are from the #FSB. Of course, no one wants to say that, but in the host countries this label is firmly attached to them. I think this is not so much the result of propaganda as a mistake in our personnel policy“ 3/10

Thread: 20 September 2022: Day 209 of #Russia's invasion of #Ukraine
#Russia "officially" preparing to "annex" the Donbas in eastern #Ukraine.

Should be noted, the Russians had such plans in Kherson and Kharkiv, which were derailed by the Ukrainian guerrillas before the Army liberated Kharkiv.
Imprisoned #Russian oppositionist Alexey Navalny comments on that video of Yevgeny Prigozhin recruiting prisoners for the war on #Ukraine. Sees it as a clear sign of the disintegration of the Army and notes such recruits can only make it worse.

Thread: 28 April 2022: Day 64 of #Russia's invasion of #Ukraine
#Britain is getting the messaging right on this: an acknowledgement of the reality that there is a task in front of us, but a refusal to even hint at recognising #Russia's annexation of Crimea or any other part of #Ukraine
#Russia managing to forge a nation in #Ukraine, revitalise a West that had seemed in terminal decline, and eliminate its own levers soft/economic influence in a war meant to do exactly the opposite is quite something to watch

Made a mess of these threads. Integrating them here
#Ukraine's President Zelensky said a few hours ago he is still going to Germany tomorrow for the Munich Security Conference. Whether this is supposed to promote calm or what is unclear; it's a hell of a time for him to leave his capital.
President #Biden just said in his White House address that the US believes the #Russians will invade #Ukraine in the next few days and "they will target Ukraine's capital, Kiev". Image

#Russia's government not being very subtle about how this is going to go with #Ukraine: a provocation will be staged and the Russians will claim to be acting in self-defence when they invade, while screaming about 'Western false-flag operations'.

I'm going to make a prediction that in a few weeks the @maristpoll will publish a correction regarding their @NBCNews amplified poll released today. It will go mostly unnoticed. @FiveThirtyEight
Do we know of #maristpoll requires that all their polling personnel use land lines to make the calls? If not, a state-level actor like the #SVR #GRU could intercept their cellphone calls and redirect to a Russian boiler room. You people have no clue who you are dealing with.
If you were able to hack five polling workers' phones and if they each did 100 calls, you could skew the poll. @maristpoll should look at their polling data to see if any workers who were using cell phones had an statistically significant skew towards Trump. Then call the NSA.

In light of recent discussions on the Simple View of Reading, oral lang, listening comp, and reading comp, this thread highlights recent research in these areas. Did you know @usedgov spent 100+ million to fund research on comprehension in children? ies.ed.gov/ncer/projects/… 1/20
Reading for Understanding teams focused on improving reading comprehension in many grades. All instruction included a mix of oral language stimulation and more traditional reading strategy work, linked to text. ies.ed.gov/pdf/RFU_Nov201… 2/20
RCT shows that teaching language skills impacts reading comp. Texts were uses in instruction. “…this study provides causally interpretable support for the language bases of reading comprehension.”
