How Russians dehumanize Ukrainians. A thread. -- This is a merch advertised by one of pro-Russian telegram channels. The inscription reads: "Bucha massacre. We can repeat". The inscription contains Latin characters Z and V which are symbols of Russia's invasion now 1/7
The slogan "We can repeat" is a typical Russian slogan of recent years suggesting that Russia can "repeat" its "victory" in the World War II but also crimes of the Red Army and brutal occupation of other countries 2/7
A pig in the picture "symbolizes" Ukrainians - a typical and pejorative sterotype about Ukrainians 3/7
The following pictures are present in comments to this telegram post 4/7
This one includes inscription "Bucha" painted with blood 5/7
This one says "Pig cutter / pig killer" implying that "pigs" are Ukrainians 6/7
Enjoying the massacre, but at the same time denying it ("Ukrainians did it themselves") are leitmotivs of this "discussion" under the telegram post, and a typical act of dehumanizing Ukrainians regularly used by Russian propaganda. 7/7 #GreyZone, #AgainstRussianLies

This is a testimony of Marianna, a teacher from Mariupol who managed to evacuate the city. A must read thread: 1/10 #UkraineWorldTestimony
Until March 2nd, the fighting continued in the suburbs; we still had water, electricity, etc... The situation in the city had worsened significantly since March 2nd, when key infrastructure was damaged by shelling. 2/10
It was cold and dark most of the day. We slept in the corridor on mattresses. We couldn't take a shower or wash our hair – we only used wet wipes and dry shampoo. 3/10

What is Russian information warfare? Is it responsible for this war? We will try to explain in this thread. #UkraineWorldAnalysis 0/7
Russian information warfare is often called "disinformation". In our view, this concept is somewhat misleading. The goal of information warfare is not to deceive, but to dehumanize. Deception, lies, fake news are just a tool 1/7
Years and decades before this war Russian state TV was dehumanizing Ukrainians, Europeans, Americans etc, preparing Russian society to an idea that a) war is inevitable, b) it is a defensive war c) it is a morally justified war 2/7
