Blackmail is Kremlin’s favourite tool in the war against 🇺🇦 and the whole democratic world. But this time, Russia's starvation blackmail failed, so Moscow was forced to abandon threats and return to the status quo. A THREAD 1/
Kremlin is lying about receiving supposedly additional “written security guarantees” from 🇺🇦. This is just an attempt to “save Putin's face.”
🇺🇦 is in strict compliance with its obligations under the agreement and has never used the grain corridor for military purposes. 2/
🇷🇺 did not dare to block the grain corridor forcibly, given that its diplomatic position has deteriorated compared to spring-summer. The short absence of 🇷🇺 among the participants in the “grain deal” has shown that the mechanism can work effectively without it. 3/
🇷🇺's future provocations against the grain corridor have not been ruled out. In particular, on November 3, a 🇷🇺 aircraft launched cruise missiles near Snake Island, which flew through the routes of the grain corridor. 4/
🇺🇦 relies on the partners of the agreement (the UN and Turkey) and at the same time develops alternative food export routes, in particular, the Danube shipping. #RussiaIsaTerroriststate 5/

Peace is war, and war is an operation. “Orwellian” newspeak remains a serious tool to control the consciousness of people in 🇷🇺 info field. How the Kremlin uses euphemisms in its communication, what is newspeak, and its examples — read in our thread. spravdi.gov.ua/en/booms-and-g… 1/
The roots of Putin’s newspeak lie in the language of Soviet official narrative, full of ideological and bureaucratic clichés. When commenting on events, officials began to use only permitted terms and avoid taboo words (“explosion”, “fire”, “catastrophe”). 2/
Newspeak ideologically colours the speech, justifies repression and wars of aggression. Any protests in 🇷🇺are considered “unrest,” the annexation of Crimea turns into “reunion,” and the occupation of Ukrainian lands during a full-scale invasion into “liberation.” 3/
Information about the smuggling of Ukrainian weapons from the West to Finland is another Russian fake. 1/
On October 30, an article was published on the website of the Finnish national broadcasting company Yle claiming that weapons supplied to Ukraine by various countries were found in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands, as if it ended up in the hands of criminal gangs. 2/
🇺🇦 embassy in Helsinki turned to the Finnish police for details. In response, the Finnish side reported the absence of confirmed information or any specific facts of the supply of contraband weapons from 🇺🇦, said the speaker of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Oleh Nikolenko. 3/
Russia announcing it intends to withdraw from the "grain deal" is a direct continuation of Russian missile, energy and nuclear blackmail directed against Ukraine and the world. Blackmail with hunger, provoking humanitarian crises is the Kremlin's tried-and-tested strategy. 1/4
The naval blockade of Ukrainian ports before was also aimed at economic strangulation of Ukraine. The "grain deal" was a forced step for Moscow, carried out under strong pressure from the international community. Immediately, Russia looked for excuses to violate the agreement.2/4
The attack on the Sevastopol Bay, which Russia blames on Ukraine, was only a pretext. In Sevastopol, only legitimate military targets were attacked — ships carrying Kalibr missiles, which Russia regularly fires at critical infrastructure and the Ukrainian civilian population. 3/4
The terror of famine is a weapon common to the Kremlin. 🇷🇺continues to provoke world food crisis and block the grain export.
Hundreds of carriages with grain collected by 🇺🇦 farmers are stuck in line to the ports of Odesa — they stand without unloading for several days. 1/
🇷🇺 blocks export: its representatives in the group as part of the “grain deals” under the auspices of the UN delay inspections in Bosporus and create artificial obstacles.🇷🇺uses its bureaucratic capabilities as a weapon and blackmails the world with food crisis and famine. 2/
The blackmail of the world community and the creation of conditions for the death of people in third countries from hunger testify to the terrorist nature of 🇷🇺 regime. 3/
• he kept trying to stir the pot among countries of the world, claiming to be a fighter against "US hegemony," "neocolonialism," urging the EU to "get rid of American influence." 1/5
He kept denying Ukrainians the right to their own country and national identity. To no one's surprise, he once again claimed Ukraine was an "artificial country," which was given Polish, Hungarian and Romanian lands by Stalin and "historically Russian" lands by Lenin. 2/5
He also called Ukrainians and Russians "one nation," which the West was dividing. There was no more talk of "denazification" and "demilitarization": Putin claimed that the grounds for the war were "NATO expansion" and alleged Ukraine's failure to comply with Minsk Agreements. 3/5
How does 🇷🇺motivate the mobilized, which it sends to the war in Ukraine? By saying that they are fighting “the West and global satanism,” and “Ukrainians shouldn`t exist”. These are quotes from a brochure for mobilized 🇷🇺 published on the website of 🇷🇺 MoD

"All the power there (in Ukraine) is concentrated in the hands of citizens of Israel, the US, the UK, who organized the genocide of indigenous people, by “downsizing” 20 mln people. To survive, people, like slaves once in the USA, work for peanuts on the European plantations" 3/
