russians made a propaganda video that guaranteed life to Ukrainian defenders if they surrender. The video featured a captured warriror from #Azov Battalion. Then they murdered him and sent his mother photos of his body. #MARIUOPOL#Azovstal
There are doubts in the comments whether this warrior is actually dead. His mother received enough photos to be sure, unfortunately. I cannot post them here for ethical reasons.
I hope it is clear why they can't "just surrender".

Let's get interactive! Look through this 🧵 - each comment is a question. Like the one you're the most interested in, and tomorrow I will answer top-3 liked questions.
1. How many russians must die for them to retreat? When will the war end?
2. Is there a chance that putin will use nuclear weapons?
Since 2014 UA was saying: "NordStream 2 is a mistake and russia will use its gas as a weapon".
We knew it too well - russia used it to manipulate UA politics for 30 years. 1/4🧵 #UkraineUnderAttack
The permission to build Nord Stream 2 has sped up putin's decision to attack Ukraine. 2/4
Yesterday russia used gas blackmail against Poland and Bulgaria. 3/4
There was reporting on @a_schallenberg questioning Ukraine’s EU accession. Such messaging is highly worrying just days after @vonderleyen and @JosephBorrellF hit the ground in Kyiv, pledging unprecedented support. Morally & strategically wrong on the scale of Nordstream2!🧵:
1/According to @a_schallenberg, UA does not “deserve” the EU candidate status “so early”. According to him, it would be “unfair” to the states in the Western Balkans for whom the road to the EU candidacy took longer. Well,I’ll just leave this here for you (pls claim the credits)
2/ While the EU’s decision to grant or not a candidate status to Ukraine in June will be political, it should be based on objective criteria and assessment by the @EU_Commission providing the EU members with a clear recommendation
Through indecision of the Chancellor @OlafScholz and his government to transfer weapons to #Ukraine people of Germany are doing everything for putin to kill as many Ukrainians as possible and to seize as many of territories as possible. #UkraineUnderAttack 🧵1/6
2/6 @OlafScholz is constantly blocking the transfer or arms sales to Ukraine by arguing that it'll escalate the conflict and more civilians will be killed (didn’t stop USA&UK). Tell this to people in Odessa, Borodyanka, Mariupol, Kharkiv, Sumy, or those killed in #BuchaMassacre
3/6 The only way to end the war as soon as possible is to give #Ukraine as many weapons as we need to inflict a military defeat on putin and his armies of marauders and murderers. There is the only way the peace is possible - Ukraine wins and so the entire civilized world
1. 🧵Despite Russia’s claims that it protects Russian speaking people we see that main victims are, in fact, Russian speaking Mariupol, Kharkiv etc. Putin cares not for people but for territory. He believes Ukrainian lands are historically Russian and wants to take them by force.
2. It has now become crystal clear that Russia’s political goal is not Ukraine's neutrality or not entering NATO. 🇷🇺 simply wants to conquer Ukraine, they are ready to destroy or deport the population (no matter what language they speak) if they defend themselves. It's genocide
3. Russian soldiers acted with extreme cruelty in Bucha and other Ukrainian cities because Russia never valued human life. Oppressive machine in Russia acts the same over there - they rape and kill, despising the law. #UkraineUnderAttack#GenocideOfUkraine
2. He promised to "liberate" the whole Donbas. It's not only Mariupol, but Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, Severodonetsk and other cities. Putin's fate will be defined on Donbas.
3. What can stop him completely and bring victory to Ukraine? Immediate supplies of heavy weapons: howitzers, tanks, multiple launch rocket systems, armored personnel carriers.
