#usaid #ukrainewar #ukraine #russia #lnr
The materials reportedly include instructions to distort the real picture of events in Ukraine and intentionally portray Russia as an aggressor.

The discovered materials also allegedly reveal a systematic destructive activity of international organizations, with guidance from USAID representatives, to work with local governments and youth in promoting decentralization and values of the LGBT community.

1/ A quick 🧵on two seemingly innocuous things that are actually allowing 🇷🇺 occupation officials to strengthen social and administrative control of occupied areas of 🇺🇦: birth certificate registration and maternity capital.
2/🇷🇺-backed #Zaporizhia occupation head Balitsky announced that families in occupied Zaporizhia can register 🇺🇦 birth certificates- as long as they are translated into 🇷🇺 at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. How does this expand occupational control?
3/ In two ways- 1) it forces families to interact with 🇷🇺administrative organs (eg. registering at the Ministry of Internal Affairs) and 2) it means that children’s names and place names will be registered with the 🇷🇺 orthography instead of the 🇺🇦. This is crypto-Russification.

Since #Russia’s surprise decision to voluntarily withdraw from west bank #Kherson in the first week of November, there has been little in the way of dramatic changes to the frontlines in #Ukraine.

In part, this reflects the predictable late autumn weather in Eastern Europe, which leaves battlefields waterlogged and clogged with mud and greatly inhibits mobility.

Key points from @RUSI_org report regarding Russian invasion of Ukraine, period Feb - Jul 2022.
1/x. Russia planned to invade Ukraine over a 10-day period and thereafter occupy the country to enable annexation by August 2022.

3/x The plan was to murder #Ukraine executive branch (president Zelenskyi and the government) and imprison the parliament. Pro-#Russia parliamentarians would form a "Movement for #Peace".
4/x #Nuclear power plants were planned to function as secure bases, depots and command centres, to control #energy in #Ukraine and to threaten #Europe countries with pollution.

#Ukraine/#Russia 🇺🇦🇷🇺:

Since 2014, there have been many vehicle modifications on both sides on the #Ukrainian battlefield. One of the most frequently modified vehicles is the MT-LB, originally intended as an artillery tractor.

@oryxspioenkop @CalibreObscura

Thread🧵

Of course, many mass-produced vehicles were built on the MT-LB chassis, such as the 9k35 Strela-10, the 9P149 Shturm-S, or the 2S1 Gvozdika.

2/ Strela-10Shturm-S2S1 Gvozdika
Since the beginning of the war in #Donbas, soldiers have been forced to use the MT-LB for tasks other than those for which it was intended. They used it, and still do, for example as an APC. They immediately began to feel the weakness of the vehicle's firepower and armour.

Note on a predicted #Ukrainian strategy change. Early on the war, when the public was not accustomed to it, the media got great mileage out of every building that was fired on, assuming all are war crimes. As I discussed in more detail then, people are civilians (or not),
and not buildings. If a defender chooses to defend a city (& an attacker to try to capture it), there will be a fight in the city. Cities are not filled with "designated urban combat buildings", just buildings, and that is where the fighting will take place. Given this reporting
eager to call all events "war crimes" and their intention always "genocide", #Ukraine, whose strategy is always shaped & driven by Western perception, did everything it could to stop civilian evacuations from front line cities. They rationalized that it was the patriotic duty of

Just a reminder why #Crimea & #Donbass decided to separate from #Ukraine when in 2014,
after illegal overthrow of the gov in #Kiev, endorsed by the #US and #EU, the Nazis came to power. Same Nazis who burnt people alive in #Odessa, who oppressed Rus-speaking population of 🇺🇦
#CIA was helping #Ukraine nationalist groups such as Stepan Bandera’s OUN UPA before WWII to fight the leadership of the USSR. OUN UPA was involved in massive war crimes collaborating with SS-Divisions. Today US and allies reanimated fascists in Ukraine and using them against 🇷🇺
The West has not only been deliberately ignoring the rise of fascism in #Ukraine but helping them with lethal weapons and financial aid throughout these years.
