Thread: Biden threatens to end #NordStream2. Germany's chancellor dares not to object. The US has had objections since 2018. So did Ukraine's Ex-President (2014-2019) saying “lifting of sanctions against Russia's Nord Stream 2 is an alarming signal to the Ukrainian government”... Image
...👀 on Nord Stream 2 AG headquartered in Zug, 🇨🇭, plays now an integral role. For the German part of the pipeline, the company founded a new subsidiary, the "Gas for Europe GmbH", only after the German regulator demanded it. We see the entrance on Google images, in 2018... ImageImage
In 2021, Swiss political parties (all but one) said the country should distance itself from Nord Stream 2, meaning, no Gas to🇨🇭. Zug, a tax haven with its Nord Stream 2 AG, could mean (as seen before) reputational loss for the whole country & relationship issues with the US...
Matthias Warnig, Chief Executive Officer in Nord Stream 2s Management and also associated with GAZPROM Schweiz AG (Zug). An Ex-Stasi officier, Warnig is a regular at the Kremlin, an ally of Putin: "The two men see each other generally every three weeks" sources told The Guardian. ImageImage
Dmytro Kuleba, minister of foreign affairs Ukraine, said last July that NS2 "threatens Ukraine’s security, violates the diversification principle of the EU Energy Union".
Meanwhile, Gazprom Switzerland & Nord Stream 2 AG are 3 min away from each other Image
Risks: NS2 AG issued a report, trying to clear up env. criticism. US/DE opponents claim the pipeline"harms fragile marine ecosystems, jeopardize the bloc’s move to a low-carbon economy, up European reliance on Russia for energy to a dangerous level" cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/gas…
US sanctions played a role earlier, revealing early Swiss involvement: After new US sanctions hit 2019, Swiss company Allseas was forced to suspend work and pull out of NS2 AG contract, leading to a months-long delay. New sanctions hit Nov 2021... ImageImage
Question is: how much leverage does a Swiss based company has to evade war in Ukraine or push Russian interests? #NordStream2 is a subsidiary of Rus state owned Gazprom, and NS2 is a considerable lobbyist, Lobbyfact data reveal, spending no less than 400.000Euro on influencing Image

🚨NEW: Russia bleeds tanks. We wanted to know how long Russia can hold out with the current losses, using heaps of old tanks from military bases. And used #AI to count & analyze fading tanks stocks. Visual investigation as @SZ_Investigativ together with @Se_Gier & @SZ visual team
We looked at the biggest military bases on land, abt 87, to understand why experts say that out of 5 tanks Russia sends to the UKR font 4 are used/refurbished. "86% of 1530 tanks delivered were refurbished tanks from storage". Michael Gjerstad,
@IISS_org. Stocks aren't bottomless
We trained the AI model a few bases to recognize armored vehicles/tanks/IFV, which needed crisp satellite images. Helped by @Picterra, we trained & improved the model, so we can run it on many bases to understand the shrinking stock of vehicle types

Howdy, fellow #OSINT #Journalist. I want to share with you my latest checklist for #OSINT #company investigations.

This way, you'll ensure you check all boxes when investigating... Links contain my go-to sources.... let's dive in (Version 1.0) - PDF at the end of 🧵 Image
We start with a company name... First up, 1. Gain a general overview of what you are dealing with. Google dork the firm, use a corporate wiki, understand jurisdiction & company form -> then check with business registries, that might be responsible... Image
4. Check for leaked data on the company and owner/managers: If you are suspecting a shell company, check OCCRP and @ICIJ Offshore leaks. If personal company data, search for ransomware leaks or country specific DBs (e.g for Russia). A list of my favs ...

#WagnerGroup PMC is still active in #Mali.

Wagner's operation in UA may have distracted the reporting, but the story continues, with it the expansion, possible atrocities, the hunt for minerals and the looting... funding the war in Ukraine

An update: #OISNT thread Image
In mid-September 2022, 14 civilians of the Tuareg, a Berber ethnic minority, are allegedly killed by Wagner soldiers. Some 6km from a place called Nani, central Mali. Wagner was building a presence there, for months. Bodies are being shoved into a crater.. Image
...the crater was created earlier when a soldier allegedly ran over it with his motorcycle, which then exploded. As a response, civilians were killed and stuffed in this crater...
The violent & disgraceful behavior by Wagner mirrors to details of the massacre analyzed by the UN Image

Reiche in Privatjets wollen vermeiden, dass man ihnen auf die Finger schaut. Bei einer monatelangen Datenrecherche zusammen mit dem NDR zu #Privatjet Flügen kam das auch heraus -

Ein🧵 dazu wie Reiche im wortwörtlichen Sinne unter dem Radar fliegen
Lang ist es nicht her, im Dezember erst, dass Elon Msk den Twitter Account von Jack Sweeney, die Person hinter einer Jet-Tracking-App von Msk Flugzeug, "geshadowbanned" hat.

Was wir in DE finden, spiegelt das Problem etwas. Vollständige PJ Flüge Datensätze bleiben rar...
000de€ kosten diese granularen Daten, wenn vollständig. Sie werden von Firmen gehortet. Hinzukommt: Daten werden nicht als klar "Privatjets" ausgewiesen. Dazu brauchten wir viel Zeit. Mit dem Chaos der schwammigen Klassifizierung kommen Fehler in der Berechnung der Emissionen

On August 26, 2022, a bomb hits the colorful playground of RES kids Paradise in Mekelle, Ethiopia. Frames of the climbing area, painted walls, iron stilts, it's all that remains. The attack showed what the warring parties, that fought a bloody war in Tigray, were capable of
A🧵
A woman, let's call her Ayana, worked 5km away, heard the sound of the explosions & saw a fighter jet fly away after the impact. She found the charred bodies of two dead children on site. One of the first videos showed more bodies

"Yes, I heard bombs & the sound of the jet & me as an aid worker & some of my co-workers gathered with their families at that place, at ResKidsParadise, where I saw that it was totally devastated & mothers were crying, looking for their children who were playing there", told me Image
