#Otd 80 years ago, Soviets deported entire Crimean Tatar population to Central Asia

The hushed-up Soviet crime is one that Russia continues spinning in its ongoing occupation of Crimea & one Ukraine insists is genocide. Here are 10 things you should know euromaidanpress.com/2024/05/18/ten…
Image

Ukraine's battle against Russia holds the key to dismantling a global "axis of evil," warns 🇺🇦 defense expert Mykhailo Samus.

A covert war unfolds, with China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran supporting each other to challenge US influence worldwide (1/4)

euromaidanpress.com/2024/05/06/ukr…
North Korea, acting as China's proxy, aids Russia against Ukraine to undermine US influence in Europe. "In exchange, Russia provides North Korea with technologies, evident from their missile developments and recent tests, which are obviously linked to Russia," says Samus. (2/4)
Iran, aligned with China and Russia, challenges US Mideast dominance. Samus believes Russia aids Iran's missile and nuclear programs, saying, "Progressing Iran's capabilities from the 1950s to modern levels is difficult and costly without external support." (3/4)

Russia used its new Kh-69 cruise missiles, deemed "worse than Kinzhal," to destroy the Trypilska power plant on 11 April, Defense Express writes

Why are they so dangerous? 🧵
euromaidanpress.com/2024/04/12/rus…
Despite being subsonic and carrying a smaller warhead than the "hypersonic" Kh-47M2 "Kinzhal," the Kh-69, first of all, was able to penetrate Ukraine's weakened air defense.

Second, it can be launched from small tactical-class aircraft such as the Su-34 👇 Image
While hitherto, the takeoff of long-range strategic bombers such as the pictured Tu-95MS was a telltale sign of large-scale, long-range missile attacks with Kinzhal or Kh-101 missiles, the Kh-69 can be launched from the more numerous, smaller jets from closer to the frontline 👇 Image

Want to know how Ukraine can resist Russia in 2024? Look to Bilohorivka

@tatarigami_UA analyzed satellite images, videos & testimonies from a city heroically resisting the Russian onslaught to show the tactics Ukraine should use 2 gain the advantage 🧵
euromaidanpress.com/2024/03/20/wan…
@Tatarigami_UA 1/ Bilohorivka, a town in the Siversk direction, has been holding out against daily Russian attacks for over a year. Despite ammunition shortages and a lack of air defense, Ukrainian units have heroically resisted Russian advances in this strategically important area. 👇 Image
@Tatarigami_UA 2/ Russian assaults typically involve company-sized forces supported by BMPs, tanks, guided air-dropped bombs (KABs), and FPV drones. They aim to swiftly seize positions and fortify themselves, making it difficult for Ukraine to compel them to evacuate due to limited artillery 👇 Image

Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev again reiterates Russia’s genocidal goal to destroy Ukraine: EXPLAINER

In front of a map with Ukraine partitioned by its neighbors, he stated that the concept of an independent Ukrainian identity must “disappear for good”: “Ukraine is Russia."

Medvedev shared this map in his Telegram in July 2022, claiming that this is how "foreign analysts" see the future of Ukraine; today, he presented it again at a festival in Sochi.

❓ Here, Medvedev is reiterating the Russian imperial narrative that Ukraine is an "artificial nation" consisting of "Russian, Polish, Romanian and Hungarian lands."

After invading Ukraine, Russian officials have claimed that Ukraine's neighbors plan to partition Ukraine, particularly - that Poland is "planning an invasion."

Russian President Putin regularly brings up this genocidal idea, which aims to destroy Ukrainian nationhood (, ).

The last time he did it was in December 2023 at a board meeting of Russia's "Defense" Ministry. Then Putin said that "many residents of western Ukraine want their territories to return to Poland, Romania or Hungary, and only Russia can be the guarantor of the territorial integrity of the Ukrainian state":

The head of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergey Naryshkin, also spoke about an alleged plan by the USA and Poland "to establish Warsaw's control over its 'historical possessions' in Ukraine": tinyurl.com/ym726y4v

tinyurl.com/yv2xaah3
But overall, the narrative that Ukraine does not "deserve" to exist as an independent nation is a staple of Russia's genocidal propaganda

It is also an open constatation of Russia's goal to destroy Ukraine as a state, nation, and identity.

The latest such notable constatation occurred when @TuckerCarlson aired the unchallenged genocidal speech of Putin:

Other notable examples of the Kremlin's genocidal plans laid bare:

- 26 Feb 2022: An article published on RIA Novosti on 2nd day of Russia's invasion claims that Putin started solving the "Ukrainian question": "After all, the need to solve it would always remain the main problem for Russia” euromaidanpress.com/2022/03/05/put…

This year's Dusseldorf carnival, known for its political floats, featured an abundance of criticism of Russia, Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump, and German pro-Putin politicians 👇

🔹Patriarch Kirill, leader of the Russian Orthodox Church, goes down on Russian President Vladimir Putin. Kirill, a staunch proponent of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, is considered to have contributed to authoring the ideology of the "Russian world," according to which "Holy Russia" is fighting against the "Godless West" in Ukraine
