We're starting a campaign #MariupolGenocide. The world should known about atrocities happening in this wonderful city. Russians are wiping it off the face of the earth
A week ago. Bomb shelter of Azovstal in Mariupol. Children, elderly. A man says there is little to eat. Asked why they didn't evacuate. "A long road, difficult to make with children, elderly will not cope". Look at their faces, strong and concentrated. #MariupolGenocide
Russian tank deliberately hits a residential building to kill as many civillians as possible in Mariupol. #MariupolGenocide
Mariupol is totally destroyed. Russia has truly erased this Ukrainian city from existence.
Source: Arrow Intel #MariupolGenocide
some insides from Mariupol tell us that the number of victims can be 30,000-40,000 people in this city alone. #MariupolGenocide
our sources say Russians are deporting people from Mariupol to Rostov and Taganrog in Russia; some are sent further. Men are deprived of their passports and are kept in Mariupol or Russians camps near it. #MariupolGenocide
our sources say that people started losing information connection from Mariupol around 3 March. Initial Russian strikes hit electricity substations and key utilities / communication. People are withiut electricity / heating / water for almost one month already. 1/2
People died not only from shelling but also from hunger, cold weather (-10 celcius at times), heart attacks and exhaustion 2/2 #MariupolGenocide
Why Russians decided to annihilate Mariupol, mostly Russian-speaking city with a Greek name? One of the interpretations: to put the blame on "Ukrainian Nazis" from Azov and prove to Russian citizens that this cruel war against Ukrainian "non-humans" is justified 1/3
Nobody will explain to Russians that Ukrainian army doesn't have any capacity to shell Mariupol with missiles and air strikes, to hit Drama Theater with 500-kg bomb and kill 300 people in a second 2/3
So the Russian tactics is: 1) do the atrocity 2) blame you enemy for the atrocity 3) by this, justify yet another atrocity 3/3 #MariupolGenocide
#Mariupol is still closed.
The occupiers don't allow neither buses nor cars to evacuate citizens, adviser to the Mayor of Mariupol.

Initially international estimations were was that Ukraine will be conquered by Russia in 48 hours. Maybe 72 hours. This didn't happen 2/9
Ukrainians showed their remarkable spirit, brave resistance and skillful use of weapons (incl. supplied by the West). Ukrainian farmers with tractors taking over Russian tanks became an international meme 3/9
Russians call the coat of arms of Ukraine “a Nazi-Bandera symbol”. The photograph below is taken after the Russian missile strike on the Mykolaiv regional administration building (screenshot from a Russian Viber chat) — @TextyOrgUa#GreyZone#AgainstRussianLies
An example of doublethink by RU propaganda: «Ukrainian nationalists long for the Russian army to destroy Kharkiv and Mariupol […] Their wretched leadership in Kyiv and local scoundrels did everything for that» — @TextyOrgUa#GreyZone#AgainstRussianLies
Russians also say that «Ukrainian nationalists hold over 4.5 million Ukrainians and 6.5 thousand foreigners as human shields». Apparently, RU propaganda counts everyone who refused to leave their homes due to RU invasion of Ukraine — @TextyOrgUa#GreyZone#AgainstRussianLies
Ukraine expresses an idea of legally binding international treaty guaranteeing Ukraine's security. Points by Davyd Arakhamia, head of presidential faction in the pariament (thread) 1/5
Europe's security system is not functioning. Ukraine suggests a new approach. Form: an international treaty signed and ratified by all guarantors 2/5
activation mechanism:
- 3-day consultations in the case of aggression, military operation, hybrid war disguised as any other action;
- The guarantors are legally bound to provide Ukraine military assistance in the form of military forces, weapons, and/or closing the sky. 3/5
Horrors of Russia's invasion. Testimony of a witness. From a Facebook post by Irina Sushkova. Thread 1/9 #UkraineWorldTestimony
"Now I will write the scariest words of my life. I can’t not write, I want the whole world to scream what you were like. And without you, I can only do one thing - write." 2/9
I'm sitting next to a dead husband. My life lies next to me in a closed coffin. My life, which wiped my tears and said that it would never leave. Who stroked me all night when I was sick. It's like I don't exist anymore. 3/9
