Peskov once said: "I don't believe someone would create fake news around the death of a child". Yet Russia has created fake news about the deaths of numerous children. Seeing the videos of Ukrainian orphans being used for Russian false flag operation against Ukraine angers me⬇️
Ukrainians have not made any attempts to seize Donetsk by force just because we already know that filthy Russian soldiers and their proxies hide behind the backs of Ukrainians trapped on uncontrolled territories.
Those are our people. We want them to be in Ukraine. We lost so many lives of Ukrainians to Russia. As a journalist, I observe this shitshow and report. As a Ukrainian, I understand what are they trying to achieve.⬇️
the fact that Russian citizens massively kidnapping Ukrainians from the occupied territories burns me, angers me. I cannot imagine how hard it is for Ukrainian soldiers not to respond to provocations. they are taking our children, our people!
Look at how Sloviansk looked like when it was occupied by the Russian gangster Strelkov and his gang. and look how it looks now, 8 years after it was liberated. ⬇️
and then know that Minsk agreements force us to provide amnesty to all those bastards, like Russian lawmaker Pushilin and others, who lead the madness in Donetsk and Luhansk.
Ukraine creates modern checkpoints, provides easier access to Universities for those living in the occupied territories. Yes, the refugees' politics is still bad, but they are trying. Those guys close the path to those checkpoints not to let people see real life in Ukraine.

Today it's been 8 ys Ukraine got rid of pro-Russian puppet dictator Yanukovych. I witnessed EuroMaidan, and I remember that after the first deaths of activists, after a fire in Trade Union House, it was not a peaceful protest anymore. Thread⬇️
I remember the EuroMaidan self-defense forces, who were coordinated by some retired officers of the Soviet army, by UNA UNSO. I remember the smell. I remember that I was scared for them as most had only some sticks from shovels, shields they stole from Berkut, and Molotovs⬇️
They were very different. Some of them brought guns and Medieval weapons from some cosplay, others had chains. Right Sector seemed scary and suspicious until you offer them a tangerine. ⬇️

My 76 yo granny said today: "If Russians start bombing Kyiv, do not rush to evacuate me, save yourself and your dog. I am a cat, I won't leave my apartment. I love it. I decorated it and I would rather die in my wonderful home than in some nasty neglected basement"
I wish you would never hear the same from your granny, born in 1945. right after WWII. It is 21 century. Russians do nothing to stop their government, most of them support this.
Now that the US is reporting that Putin made a desicion to invade Ukraine, I can't take it anymore. I understand that this can be the deterring tactics. But it is already impossible to live like that. All we have now is work, covid outbreak, and Russian invasion.

Russian failed politician and TV host Ksenia Sobchak has said "What we see today is Russia fighting against the US and Ukraine is a hostage".This claim from Sobchak triggered me. Only 5 percent of Russians blame their own government for fueling the war in Ukraine. So. Thread⬇️
Sobchak calls Ukraine and Russia "brotherly nations", at the same time says "Not a single Russian politician would return Crimea to Ukraine, as it would be a political suicide". Hints America fuels and provokes. ⬇️
This is a common position among many Russians, even those, calling themselves liberal. "If you don't want war, why does the West keep supplying weapons to Ukraine?" - this phrase makes me vicious. Why?⬇️

Here are some basic facts that might help in Ukraine coverage. Thread:
1. Russia's war against Ukraine. Not Ukraine conflict, or Ukraine crisis. Why? Because Russia occupied Crimea in 2014 and has been supporting its proxies in the Donbas-Russian passports holders⬇️
2. Russia claims it is not part of the conflict. Russia lies. Even the Russian court in Rostov recently accidentally revealed Russia's military presence in Donbas. Before that Russian soldiers were "guarding" illegal referendum in Crimea.⬇️
3. Russian-controlled areas of Donbas, not Rebel-held or separatist-held areas. Because those people do not fight for independence, they want to become a part of Russia.⬇️

My debut in Finish media. You can translate it into English via google. I will also post my opinion piece in English below: is.fi/ulkomaat/art-2…
Fear, denial, courage: How a looming threat of Russian invasion changed the lives of Ukrainians
Every morning first thing I do is grab my phone to read the latest news. And every morning I read about yet another threat coming from Russia. ⬇️
It’s either Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov saying Ukraine joining NATO would be death to Russia as we know it, or it is Vladimir Putin saying he would protect what he sees as Russian historical lands, but in reality, he would just occupy more of my country’s lands.

When I was a student I wanted to practise my English and make some money. And I found an interesting job - translator in an international matchmaking agency. That is why, sorry, but I don't feel sorry for these men, scammed in Ukraine...Thread
On my first day at a matchmaking agency Cinderella( duh), I got two clients - Victoria, a short brunette 34, and Olga, a tall 20 yo blonde with a super short skirt and super long legs. I have never met both of them. What I got, was their profiles on a dating website.⬇️
My office was located at a rented classroom of a school in a residential district of Kyiv. My supervisor told me that both Victoria and Olga wanted to find husbands to move to America (spell the last phrase with our accent). YET both of them did not speak English!
