The @nytimes has corrected its earlier story on Manafort's efforts to pass polling data using his old associate & reported Russian intel agent Konstantin Kilimnik. The Times now says the data was given to Serhiy Lyovochkin and Rinat Akhmetov. <1 of 8>nyti.ms/2H0YLzj

THREAD: Russian propaganda outlet Sputnik just revealed that fugitive oligarch Oleksandr Onyshchenko is the source of the Derkach tapes. He claims his lawyer passed the tapes to Derkach & admits he's working with the Trump admin to leak additional tapes this September (!). <1/5>
"Sputnik: So your lawyers had the recordings all this time? Are there any more of them?

Oleksandr Onyshchenko: Yes, there are more. The Trump administration will make use of them again in September...closer to elections, they will begin to use them more." <2/5>
Al Jazeera reported in a bombshell documentary in 2018 that Onyshchenko conspired with Pavel Fuchs to purchase frozen assets from the Viktor Yanukovych clan, and to launder those same assets into Western financial institutions via Deutsche Bank. <3/5> aljazeera.com/investigations…

Wow. The mainstream media have totally neglected an explosive report from the Vietnam Veterans Association documenting a massive Russian online disinformation effort targeting US veterans with pro-Trump messages and attacking VP Biden and other Dems. 1/12 vva.org/trollreport/
From August 2017 - August 2019, VVA revealed a coordinated online campaign targeting American servicemembers, veterans, and their families that was run by "a number of different foreign entities seeking to disrupt American democracy." 2/12
VVA reports that Russian propaganda targeting servicemembers and veterans was (and still is) spread by account administrators from at least 30 different foreign countries, with concentrations in Eastern Europe and Vietnam. 3/12

A case study of Russia’s infiltration of the European far right in support of the Kremlin's geopolitical aims.👇<THREAD: 1/9>
In February 2018, right-wing militants bombed a Hungarian cultural center in the western Ukrainian town of Uzhgorod to incite Hungarians against Ukraine. uzhgorod.in/en/news/2018/m… <2/9>
Because Hungary is in NATO, stoking Hungarian animosity against Ukraine is a convenient way to sabotage Ukraine’s NATO aspirations. Keeping Ukraine out of NATO is in turn one of Putin's key foreign policy goals. uk.reuters.com/article/uk-rus… <3/9>

I've been asked what I expect from Russia in 2019.

Here's my top 10 list of events to watch out for (not in any particular order of probability) 👇
#1 A military incursion into Ukraine. The most likely target is the canal that feeds fresh water from the Dnieper river to Crimea. Without this water, Crimea's agricultural sector goes under. Also look for Russia to seek complete dominance over the Sea of Azov and Kerch Strait.
#2 A military flare-up in Nagorno-Karabakh if Prime Minister Pashinyan does not cater to corrupt Russian interests in Armenia.
