precisely when Russian "legislators" officially order to "expropriate" harvests from Ukrainian farmers, copying Stalin's policies that led to Holodomor, RU propagandists say it the West which causes another famine! 1/3
As Britain removed remaining tariffs and quotas for Ukrainian goods, trying to help Ukrainian trade blocked by Russia in the Black Sea, and as EU is thinking to do the same, Russians are saying these moves are aimed to deprive Ukraine of its food. 2/3
One Russian propagandist, Sergei Koliasnikov, writes that "it seems that collective Europe will repeat the Ukrainian famine organized by Poland in the 1930s". He adds that "the world is plunging into an unprecedented food crisis due to anti-Russian sanctions by the West." 3/3
All these people live in #Kharkiv underground for more than 2 months already. On Apr 29, the Russian occupiers fired on Kharkiv 16 times, 2 of which were from "Hrad" and "Smerch" multiple rocket launchers, Oleg Sinegubov, head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration said.
People are afraid to go upstairs at all, children refuse to get out of the underground because Russia is bombing the city.
Just imagine, an own separate world has already arisen there.

Lviv. Horrors of Russian shelling. Testimony of a witness. From an Instagram post by Olena Matviyas. 1/7
Air raid siren!
I was not afraid of that until today, because our air defense usually shot down enemy missiles. I only felt the shockwave once when it hit the repair plant. But now… 2/7
During that night I dreamed of horrors. I got up at 6 am, went to the kitchen, drank tea, played with my cat and went to bed again at 7:30. 3/7

On the morning of March 4, the hospital was bombed. They were told that those who were able must leave. 3/12

some foreign media continue to call Azov batallion "neo-Nazi". Azov was stationed for 8 years in Mariupol and surroundings but nobody heard about "Nazi" actions (mass killings, torture, mass graves). Ukraine is under constant scrutiny of international organizations 1/4
then Russians came and you have it all: mass killings, tortures, mass graves. And Azov is heroically (the world forgot this word) defending Mariupol against it. Against the real new Nazism 2/4
"Nazism" is an ideology which requires the infernal work of the immense state mechanism of violence. "Neo-Nazi" is a word used by some people to describe far-right nationalism which never ever had a tiny chance to have access to these resources 3/4
