1/1 Am 5. Februar 2000 drangen Einheiten der Bereitschaftspolizei in Novy Aldy ein. An der "Sonderoperation" waren junge Wehrpflichtige und bewaffnete Männer im reifen Alter, Auftragnehmer und Mitarbeiter des Innenministeriums beteiligt.
2/1 Sie begingen Raubüberfälle, töteten, folterten und vergewaltigten die Zivilbevölkerung. Ihre Grausamkeit kannte keine Grenzen.

This is my 129th daily thread on #PutinsWar

The killing continues: #Ukraine still under real pressure in the eastern #Donbas region, but signs that the US supplied weapons in particular are beginning to cause real problems for #Russia.

All the news, all day, right here⬇️
#Mykolaiv came under heavy attack in the early hours this morning. We are still awaiting full details.

At least 8 missiles were launched by #Russia's army. Some landed in #Nikolaev according to the mayor
Although it's Day 129 of this thread and the full invasion, please remember this war started over 8 years ago.
In two weeks it will be the 8th anniversary of the MH17 massacre when 300 were murdered by #Russia. Had we acted decisively then, we wouldn't need to spend billions now.

okay, let's talk about what Boris #Nemtsov said after the 08.08.08 aggression (#Tskhinval)
Boris Nemtsov is a well-known russian opposition politician who was killed in 2015. there will be tweets with his direct quotes🧵
#Немцов #AbkhaziaisnotGeorgia #SouthOssetiaisnotGeorgia
“Let's start with the most dramatic and bloody events about Ossetia and Abkhazia. the problems of South Ossetia and Abkhazia have been dragging on for a long time, they did not arise during the time of Putin or even during the reign of Yeltsin, they are much older… 🧵
…The conflict between Abkhazians and Georgians dates back hundreds of years. During the time of Stalin, who was a Georgian, there was a forced Georgification of Abkhazia. That is, Georgians moved to the territory of Abkhazia and had to assimilate there…🧵

Happening now: @CIA Director William Burns speaking at @GeorgiaTech to college students from across the #Atlanta metro area
.@CIA Dir Burns says he has come to @GeorgiaTech from Washington, DC which is "as self absorbed as ever..."

Notes he will not drone on in what is his 1st public speech since taking the reins at the US spy agency
"We usually operate in the shadows" per @CIA Dir Burns "But I am convinced that in our democracy, where trust in institutions is in such short supply, it's essential to explain our selves as best we can & be as open as possible"

🇷🇺🔥🇺🇦 #Rusia vs #Ucrania (día 38) – Un día más, comenzamos aquí nuestro #hilo diario sobre la #GuerraEnUcrania.

🟥Gracias por vuestro #RETWEEET 🙏
🇷🇺🔥🇺🇦 #Rusia vs #Ucrania (día 38) – El Mi-28 ruso derribado ayer habría sido abatido por un misil antiaéreo Starstreak británico.

🟥 Esto impidió, según algunas fuentes, que el helicóptero desplegase defensa alguna pues el proyectil sería imperceptible para las contramedidas.

🔴 Can #Ukraine defeat #Russia?

"We know that Russia cannot accomplish the objectives it set out to accomplish, which is to completely occupy and subjugate Ukraine", General H.R.McMaster @LTGHRMcMaster told @mperelman in an exclusive interview: f24.my/8Rn7.t
@LTGHRMcMaster @mperelman 🔴 #EXCLUSIVE - "#Putin invaded #Georgia in 2008, he invaded #Ukraine in 2014." He's been engaged in a sustained campaign of subversion against the former territories of the Soviet Union."

Watch the full interview with @LTGHRMcMaster: f24.my/8Rn7.t
@LTGHRMcMaster @mperelman 🔴 #EXCLUSIVE - "Remember #Grozny in 1999 (...) look at #Aleppo in #Syria (...) We can no longer have any delusions about Vladimir #Putin (...) He's going to destroy some of Europe's most beautiful cities."

Super, #Lanz hat genau 2 min gedauert und das #BullshitBingo ist mit "Vernichtungskrieg" und "Grozny" schon wieder erreicht.
Warum das völlig in die Irre führt und einfach nur #ConfirmationBias über unsere Vorstellungen der Russen ist - ein #Rant:
1) "Vernichtungskrieg" - damit disqualifiziert sich @n_roettgen leider völlig, denn - bei aller Verurteilung der Invasion - das hat nichts mit der Lage in der #Ukraine zu tun und relativiert vergangene Vernichtungskriege. (Bitte einfach mal nachschlagen)
Period. Fullstop.
2.) "#Grozny" - disclaimer: ja, ich glaube auch, dass die Lage zunehmend eskalieren wird. Aber nicht, weil das DIE russische Taktik ist. Jeder Krieg ist anders. Die Russen haben bis Tag 4 versucht, sich - vergleichsweise - zurückzuhalten und zivile Opfer zu vermeiden.

Weil hier plötzlich jeder "#Russland-Experte" in #Grozny-Schnappatmung verfällt, bitte eine Erinnerung: Das Vorgehen der Russen, so schlimm es ist, ist immer noch NICHT mit den Einsätzen in #Tschetschenien oder #Syrien zu vergleichen! Das darf man nicht relativieren!
In Aleppo oder Grozny war die Zivilbevölkerung den Russen völlig egal! Das sehen wir - Gott sei Dank - in diesem Ausmaß bisher noch nicht!
ABER: diese Aufforderung, #Kyiv zu verlassen, erinnert schon eher an das Vorgehen der Amerikaner in #Falludjah, Irak.
Ich habe ja an anderer Stelle bereits kritisch über das Verschwimmen der Grenze von #Kombattant und Zivilist geschrieben. Das ist jetzt auch vmtl eine Folge davon!
Im besten Fall wollen die Russen wirklich so sicherstellen, keine Zivilisten zu erschießen.

There've been numerous sightings of #Russian TOS-1A multiple rocket launchers in #Ukraine, albeit they've not been used yet.

Seeing TOS-1As in the #UkraineWar is significant as they cause immense damage when used in urban warfare - as we have seen in #Chechnya in 1999

A quick🧵
The TOS-1(A) fires 30 (24 A version) 220mm thermobaric rockets. One salvo can "annihilate" an estimated area of 200x400m.

Thermobaric rockets function by dispersing a fuel (powdered tetranite) into a cloud that is then ignited. The resulting shockwave destroys buildings & people
TOS-1s were used to great effect in the 2nd #Chechnya War; in the siege of #Grozny and Komsomolskoye.

To break the defence of Grozny, the TOS-1's area denial capability was used to cover mine-clearing operations, and to combat dug-in troops.

🇷🇺🔥🇺🇦 #Rusia Vs #Ucrania (día 2) - A partir de ahora recogeremos todas las informaciones sobre la guerra de Ucrania que se vayan produciendo durante el día en este #hilo.
🇷🇺🔥🇺🇦 #Rusia Vs #Ucrania (día 2) - Hay informaciones sin verificar sobre un ataque ucraniano con misiles Tochka sobre la base rusa de #Millerovo, cercana a #Rostov. Iremos informando.

🇷🇺🔥🇺🇦 #Rusia Vs #Ucrania (día 2) Las tropas rusas habrían llegado a #Dymer (ver mapa). Esto supondría que toda la zona al norte del aeropuerto #Antonov de #Kostomel estaría completamente en poder de las tropas rusas.

As #Putin maneuvers into position for serious hostilities in #Ukraine, let's bear in mind the recent record of the Russian military. As a baseline is one factoid:

- Russian 'actions' in #Syria since 2015 have killed 23,000+ civilians.

airwars.org/news-and-inves…
In private meetings & bilateral dialogues in which I've been present, influential #Russia figures (both military & diplomatic) have repeatedly described #Grozny as *the* archetypal example of military success.

That 5 week siege & urban assault killed 8,000 civilians.
As a military actor in #Syria, the UN provided #Russia with coordinates of "deconflicted" hospitals -- to keep them safe.

=> #Russia used them to launch a campaign of dozens of precision strikes **on hospitals.**

Once it was done, #Moscow pulled out of the UN arrangement.
