humanizing, normalizing genocide criminals is not ok. what’s next? a memoir “how i mass murdered ukrainians. it wasn’t what i expected”? revolting how some western journalists are rabidly enthusiastic to amplify a russian terrorist while his buddies keep mass murdering my people Image
what do you know. he fucking did wrote a memoir and this is his publicity campaign in the west 🤢
imagine a ukrainian genocide refugee walking past news stands today somewhere in europe, seeing this face of a russian mass murderer glaring at them and knowing that man walks free somewhere near. @guardian team has fucking lost their western, privileged minds Image

look. there's another warrior of white western entitlement from somewhere west-and-safe westsplaining a ukrainian from genocide frontlines why ukraine is too barbaric to understand all the value of that botched @amnesty report. anyone cares to ukrainesplain back?
sorry друзі usually i don’t waste time on westsplaining garbage, but this time is different
@OPokalchuk has a lifetime of experience of fighting the most brutal human rights battles, documenting genocide of her own people, risking everything to call out a western rich institution — she embodies the moral clarity of human rights and the reason i still believe in int law

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
