I said in Turkey @trtworld TV interview that my research & survey commissioned before war show marginal support for joining #Russia in regions of Eastern & Southern #Ukraine, such as #Kherson, Odesa & #Kharkiv, with exceptions of #Donbas & #Crimea. 1/
@trtworld My TRT World TV interview: #Mariupol is now main battleground of #RussianUkrainianWar. Advances by #Russian & separatist forces in this besieged city & recent mass surrender of #Ukrainian troops suggest that it is likely to fall soon. 2/
#Mariupol is important to #Russia because it plans to include it into separatist republics in #Donbas. Russia intends to do so also with other parts of Donetsk & Luhansk regions that were controlled by #Ukraine before war & apparently plans to encircle #Ukrainian forces there. 3/
Security Service of #Ukraine has captured leader of largest opposition party. He was previously charged with state treason & fled from house arrest shortly before #Russian invasion. #Zelensky banned this & 10 other opposition parties for "links" to #Russiapravda.com.ua/news/2022/04/1…
Comparative politics: Denial & justification of mass killings in #Bucha, #maidan & #Odesa in #Ukraine & opposite reaction to these crimes by many politicians, media & self-proclaimed experts reveal that partisan politics trumps concerns about human rights, justice & #Ukrainians
There is evidence from various sources, such as videos, satellite photos & testimonies of eyewitnesses, suggesting that #Russian forces committed #WarCrimes by killing dozens civilians during #RussianUkraineWar in #Bucha in #Ukraine
"The evening news programs of the three dominant U.S. television networks devoted more coverage to the war in Ukraine last month than in any other month during all wars, including those in which the U.S. military was directly engaged, since the 1991..." 1/ responsiblestatecraft.org/2022/04/08/net…
"... Gulf War against Iraq, according to the authoritative Tyndall Report. The only exception was the last war in which U.S. forces participated in Europe, the 1999 Kosovo campaign." 2/
"Combined, the three networks — ABC, CBS, and NBC — devoted 562 minutes to the first full month of the war in Ukraine. That was more time than in the first month of its invasion of Afghanistan in November 2001 (306 minutes)." #UkraineWar#Ukraine#Russia 3/
NYT reports that video appears to show killings of captured #Russian soldiers during their retreat from #Kyiv Region & that #Ukrainian news agency reported that they were ambushed by Georgian Legion. Such killing of POWs is classified as war crime. But 1/ businessinsider.com/video-appears-…
NYT omits admissions by several Georgian members of Maidan sniper groups in Italian, Israeli & US TV documentaries, Macedonian TV interviews & testimonies for #maidan massacre trial & investigation that Georgian Legion included snipers who massacred Maidan protesters & police. 2/
Other evidence that Maidan snipers massacred Maidan protesters & police in #Ukraine include testimonies of absolute majority of wounded protesters & several hundred witnesses, videos & audio of such snipers & forensic examinations by government experts. 3/ researchgate.net/publication/35…
My analysis of evidence shows that claims by #Putin & #Zelensky & various self-proclaimed experts & info warriors about #Genocide in #Ukraine are false. But there is undeniable evidence of war crimes during #RussiaUkraineWar. I research #UkraineRussianWar & genocides in Ukraine.
From 24 February 2022, when #Russian invasion of #Ukraine started, to 5 April 2022 Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights recorded 3,776 civilian casualties in Ukraine: 1,563 killed and 2,213 injured. 2/ ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
