a powerful statement by prominent Ukrainian human rights defenders, the "1st December Group". Share widely! #StandWithUkraine. -- Thread below with key messages ukraineworld.org/articles/russi…
Ukraine has been living with war for eight years in Donbas. The war has left scars which are impossible to erase. Ukrainians spent eight years watching the news every day and hearing the dead called by name.
But now this war is everywhere. It is in Sumy, Kherson, Chornobyl, Mariupol, and in Kyiv. It is in Kyiv courtyards, on children’s playgrounds. Orphanages and residential buildings have become targets for the Russian invasion army.

Thread: we have seen a phrase in some international media reports like: "Ukraine and pro-Russian separatists are preparing for war". This is misleading. Ukraine was never preparing an offensive on occupied Donbas and Crimea. It's crazy to attack proxies of a nuclear power. 1/4
all these 8 years there was no noticeable discussion in Ukrainian society / media about "military solution" of Donbas / Crimea problem. There can be emotions about this but not real arguments. Defense yes, offensive no. 2/4
Even now, having 200,000 Russian troops on Ukraine's border, we don't see any comparable concentration on Ukraine's side. It would be insane to think that Ukraine is preparing an offensive under these circumstances 3/4

logic of the events now: 1. Russian media has been telling its citizens for years that Ukraine is aggressive state 2. Intensified this narrative in past months 3. Says Ukraine makes military buildup, not Russia 4. Moscow taken by surprise by West's reaction, evacuations etc.
5. Russia responds by pushing proxies in occupied Donbas to announce massive evacuation, 6. Continues narrative of "genocidal" Ukraine, makes parallels with "Nazi" crimes, with no evidence 7. Keeps saying that Ukraine will attack these days, incld with chemical WMD
8. Pushes proxies to announce general mobilization (this morning). 9. Shells heavily Ukrainian positions along the contact line to provoke response to get a pretext for attack. 10. Does false flag operations (explosions in Donetsk, Luhansk) to get another pretext.

🇺🇦 ex-Minister of Defence: large-scale operation, massive bombing, capturing Kyiv are the least probable scenarios. Moscow’s attempt to organise trigger event, aggravation in eastern Ukraine, sabotage operations, cyber attack - highly likely. 1/5 @ukrpravda_news @KyivIndependent
Russia’s forces are well-equipped with weapons (including Iskander ballistic systems) and logistical/medical units, but they are not ready for a large-scale offensive. Massive bombing is also unrealistic as it will bury Russia’s plans to win “hearts and minds” of Ukrainians. 2/5
Kyiv is not a “more budget-friendly” target given the quality of troops defending it - 100 km of multi-level-defence around 3-Mio people metropolis with complex topography. It is so "autocratic" to suggest that having captured 🇺🇦 capital, Russia will control all of Ukraine. 3/5
