In my @readpassage interview, I noted that striking turnabout of #media coverage of neo-Nazi-led #Azov regiment during #UkraineRussiaWar is due to politics & that this can lead to blowback in #Ukraine & the West. #UkraineWar 1/ readpassage.com/media-once-cal…
@readpassage "...They claim that calling the Azov Regiment a neo-Nazi group is no longer accurate. But Ivan Katchanovski, a political science professor at the University of Ottawa specializing in Russia, Ukraine and armed conflicts, told Passage that these sorts of claims are inaccurate." 2/
"While the Kremlin’s framing of Ukraine as a Nazi state is false, Katchanovski said, Western governments and media have gone in the opposite direction: “They’ve started to deny any presence of neo-Nazis.” #UkraineRussianWar #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraineWar #Russia #FarRight 3/

"British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who arrived in Kyiv, said that holding peace talks between Ukraine and Russia now would be a disaster for the whole world." #Ukraine #UkraineRussiaWar #Russia 1/ strana.news/news/404783-dz…
Boris Johnson: “There is a certain logic in the position in which we find ourselves, because now there are no negotiations, there are no proposals. And even if there were such a proposal, I don’t see under what circumstances the Ukrainians would agree to these negotiations." 2/
""Considering aggression, tyranny that is happening in Ukraine, such negotiations would be a disaster for the whole world," Johnson said."

"From 24 February 2022, when the Russian Federation’s armed attack against Ukraine started, to 21 August 2022, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights recorded 13,477 civilian casualties in the country: 5,587 killed and 7,890 injured." 1/ ohchr.org/en/news/2022/0…
"OHCHR believes that the actual figures are considerably higher, as the receipt of information from some locations where intense hostilities have been going on has been delayed and many reports are still pending corroboration. This concerns, for example, Mariupol..." #Ukraine 2/
My research-based estimate is about 8-10 thousand civilians killed in #Ukraine during #UkraineRussia war, about 70-80% in #Donbas. Estimate is based on UN confirmed 5,587 casualties plus unaccounted casualties in Mariupol & other Donbas based on 3 thousand graves in #Mariupol. 3/

My @LeDevoir interview: "Ivan Katchanovski, ... a long-time specialist in Ukraine's conflicts, says the current situation is very dangerous for the future of the country. "This is the most dangerous situation for Ukraine since its independence..." 1/ ledevoir.com/monde/europe/7…
@LeDevoir My @LeDevoir interview: "and even before," he said, recalling that it was done peacefully. The expert does not believe that Ukraine will lose its independence, but he believes that the impacts of the war are devastating and he is pessimistic about the future of the country." 2/
“Large parts of Ukraine will be occupied and annexed. And the chances that Ukraine will be able to dislodge the Russian forces are very small,” thinks Ivan Katchanovski... “There is rallying around the Ukrainian flag and resistance against the invader." #UkraineRussiaWar 3/

Ukrainian intelligence corroborates my research findings that initial goal of #Russian invasion of #Ukraine was regime change, in particular, installing Yanukovych as leader. He was removed from power in 2014 as result of Western-backed violent overthrow. washingtonpost.com/world/interact…
"As part of that plan, Ukrainian officials said, the FSB had lined up at least two pro-Russian governments-in-waiting— not just one as the British government had warned. One, positioned in Belarus, centered on Yanukovych."
