🤭@amanpour got Kremlin spox Peskov to admit Putin is very angry. Including abt “Russian speakers not able to speak Russian in Ukraine.” This is a lie & more demonstrably false now. We hear victims of Russian bombs in Mariupol & Kharkiv tell their horror stories in Russian daily!
@amanpour I haven't seen the whole @amanpour interview. But it sounds like Peskov is just admitting that anger is Putin's motive for launching a criminal war, for war crimes and crimes against humanity. 🤷🏻‍♀️
@amanpour 😅Peskov not only admitted Putin's motive is revenge. He even made a Freudian slip, saying "Putin's crazy"

Here's Peskov's list of "Putin's angry w/ Ukrainians who"
-want to be part of NATO
-want to deploy American missiles in Ukr
-forbid speaking Russian
-wear Nazi symbols
@amanpour 😂Closed-captioning picked up Peskov's Freudian slip, calling Putin "crazy" - screen grab ⤵️

I don't know what these Kremlin guys think they're doing, admitting on TV their crimes & demonstrably false pretexts for a criminal war. Maybe just drunk w/ power & impunity for so long Image
@amanpour 🤨Peskov claimed Putin isn't angry with Ukrainians—"no one in Russia is angry w/ Ukrainians"—then listed all the Ukrainians Putin's angry with. Here's the quote on the Russian language/"Russian World" lie:

Putin's "angry with those in Ukraine who forbid people to speak Russian" Image
@amanpour Ukraine is a bilingual country. People are not forbidden to speak Russian. Independent Ukraine elevated Ukrainian as a national language. What's wrong with that? Putin can't understand it; that's his problem.

As Adin notes, it's Russia that bans non-Russian languages, in Crimea.
@amanpour 🤯❗️Peskov's already renamed Ukraine🇺🇦! He says Russia's special military op is "to get rid of Anti-Russia that was created next to our border… Ukraine was formed by Western countries"

This is nuts. Putin invents fake history to destroy a country. Of course he'll keep doing it.
@amanpour There are so many levels of insanity & incoherence in Peskov's interview with @amanpour. Putin made up some BS about Lenin creating Ukraine. Now Peskov claims Western countries created Ukraine—to be "Anti-Russia." These Kremlin criminals can't even pick a Big Lie & stick with it.
@amanpour Peskov admits Russians lied about no invasion, and adds another absurd lie: "Yes, we said that. But it was clear to our military that Ukraine was going to launch an offensive on Donbas."

Now it's back to Donbas?? The Kremlin's just drowning in incoherent lies. Just staggering.

I don't know what to do. So I will share some beautiful photos of my mom's beloved #Mariupol, before the fascist from Germany invaded. This is my mom's middle school. She loved to sing. Even won a song contest on the local radio. This is her music club. Image
A school class photo, a few years later, in #Mariupol. Image
This is Mom’s brother Misha’s 10th grade history class in #Mariupol. He was a history prof. at Kyiv University when Nazis invaded. He joined the fight; wrote a letter home warning not to be taken prisoner b/c he saw Germans kill Jews. We don’t know where or when he was killed. Image

This is sick. Day 23 of Russia killing Ukrainians & Moscow is celebrating the annexation of Crimea, theft made official on this day 8 years ago. Luzhniki stadium is full of happy Russians awaiting the "Crimea Spring" concert wave Russian & "Z" flags. Z is definitely for zombies.
Russia apparently bused in people to pack Luzhniki Stadium for Putin's fascist propaganda show today, per @SotaVision. More on today's more grotesque than usual "Crimea Spring" celebration in Moscow in this @maxseddon 🧵
@SotaVision @maxseddon "This really was genocide." Putin again justifies war w/ utter Orwellian nonsense. He's gotten Russians to believe his lies for 22 years, so imagines he can even pull off a genocidal war in the cradle of Slavic civilization. Belief in your own manipulative powers is a fatal flaw.

🔥@vkaramurza: The only way to end the crimes & atrocities is to get Putin out of power. Only Russians can do that. But the free world must help by providing them with the truth—IN the Russian language, to counter the brainwashing propaganda. The West found a way in Soviet times. Image
@vkaramurza @AnaCabrera 🔥@vkaramurza: If sanctions on Russia's oligarchs had been imposed a decade ago—when Boris Nemtsov asked for them—we wouldn't be facing a large-scale war in Europe & human catastrophe. The West, esp UK, enabled Putin's kleptocracy & oiled its wheels. But better late than never.
@vkaramurza @AnaCabrera CNN: How far will Putin go?

Kara-Murza: Nothing will stop Putin. We know who this man is. He has murdered, imprisoned, attacked Russia's civil society, other countries, indep. media & now human catastrophe in Europe. If West gives in, we'll face the same situation in 2 years, Image

#Russia’s begun its reign of terror on #Ukraine’s #democracy—abducting activists, leaders & journalists. Putin aims not only to kill a free Ukraine. He aims to strangle🇺🇦 as a place where Russians & Ukrainians unite to work for democracy, exposing 🇷🇺lies, aggression & corruption.
If you think Putin will stop in Ukraine, look at his targets & kill lists. Russia's genocidal war is to kill off democracy by terrorizing journalists, rights & anti-corruption activists exposing propaganda & kleptocracy. He can't rest with such freedom & democracy in the Baltics.
It's important to see the big picture in this horror. Putin's genocide is vengeful & self-preservation. Ukraine became a haven & refuge for Russian dissidents working for democracy. Potent independent Russian journalistic outlets fled Russia to nearby Russian-speaking countries.

🚨Russian airstrikes may have struck an area some 10 miles from Polish border, west of Lviv.
If Russia struck Yavoriv, then Putin really wants to start WW3. Because it's not only right on the Polish border. It's where "NATO allies and partners, mentor and advise Armed Forces of Ukraine Observer Controller / Trainers at the Combat Training Center located near Yavoriv."

🚨Abduction of #Melitopol Mayor "chillingly reminiscent of the lawlessness, the abductions & forced disappearances, especially of Crimean Tatars, that Russia brought to Crimea with its invasion in 2014."—@halyapuff of Kharkiv Human Rights group, tracking Russian crimes in Ukraine
@halyapuff "Fedorov Is Our Mayor!"—2000 Ukrainians protested today demanding Russian invaders release #Melitopol Mayor, abducted y'day by Russian soldiers—who took him away with a bag over his head. Olha Haisumova, coordinator of daily Melitopol protests since invasion began, also abducted.
@halyapuff Ukraine: Detention of Melitopol Mayor By Armed Men A "War Crime"

"This is different from a military offensive. This is an elected official grabbed in broad daylight…arrested for terrorism—'an absolute lie'—Zelensky says," @salmaCNN reports on Russia threat to Ukraine democracy.
