another westerner dehumanizing and devaluing critical opinion of ukrainians amid genocide. if ukrainians say you do shitty job covering ukraine than you do shitty job covering ukraine. listen, learn, do better next time or change topic and stop profiting off our stories
no matter how unfair the criticism might feel, screenshoting prominent ukrainians like @cryptodrftng and @MelaniePodolyak next to explicit comments is manipulative and devalues, dehumanizes ukrainian voices + will fuel more online abuse their way amid already ongoing genocide
moreover, ukrainians living through genocide can be as rude as they want and no one from safe-and-west has any moral business policing it. even i as a ukrainian won’t ever allow myself to do that. if your fragile ego can’t handle it then maybe you are on the wrong beat

1) foreign weapons come, russia starts losing
2) amnesty sidelines own ukraine team, sends investigators with 0 regional background
3) on top of far-fetched report, same investigators feed the public other narratives against arming ukraine
4) russia picks them all up instantly
as a journalist i detest conspiracy theories. but i also don’t believe in accidents that involve several complicated actions unfolding in a self-reinforcing sequence with perfect timing.
i demand from @amnesty a public investigation. also clarification what has happened with the data they collected about ukrianian army positions.

there’s a legitimate concern we’ve just witness an act of aiding terrorism by a major international organization.

head of ukraine chapter @amnesty quits. losing ukrainian team amid genocide in ukraine — unfortunately it won’t kill this juggernaut of western colonial arrogance but hopefully it will injure it for years to come
“i believe that any public service should be done within the local context and with consideration of consequences”
@OPokalchuk posts damning resignation letter full of anti-colonial defiance ImageImageImageImage
.@OPokalchuk is a towering human rights figure for ukraine and the region beyond. out historic progress with queer equality wouldn’t happen without her. ukraine’s historic signature under istanbul convention wouldn’t happen without her
