We are grateful to @aprilsparkles1 for highlighting this important point.
Ukrainian people were outraged by Christopher Miller's appointment as Ukraine correspondent for @FT after he spent years spreading disinformation about us.
✨ Ukraine deserves better coverage.

A few words on the work of Christopher Miller from the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance:
"Nowadays, Ukraine is returning to the study of its real history and all media publications about its past should do the same."

"Spreading scary stories about Azov and turning them into a huge boogeyman for the entire world has helped 🇷🇺 propaganda AND put the defenders of Azovstal into huge danger and robbed them of the support they deserved"
❗️No apology was ever issued by @ChristopherJM

"Right up to when russia launched its large scale offensive of Feb 24, 2022, Miller was known for pushing the Kremlin propaganda lie about "Nazi extremists" in 🇺🇦, particular re the Azov regiment.
Recall Putin claimed 🇷🇺 was "fighting Nazis" in Ukraine."

- some countries declared Azov terroristic organisation
- Azov was unable to take part in #NATO trainings"

There were some other consequences to Christopher Miller's "reporting"
When Ukrainians were crying for help to #SaveAzovstalDefenders, the cries fell on deaf ears.
Precisely because of that image of Azov he helped construct.
❗️Defenders of the free world - labelled "Nazis"

The portraits of the defenders of Azovstal, made by Azov's Orest, circled the globe.
20 May: "We’re holding our breath in anticipation of the good news. Dmytro and other defenders of Azovstal, we are proud of you and are waiting for you at home."

After years (!) of efforts to discredit Azov, you'd think @ChristopherJM would be embarrassed by the "mistake" and apologise.
No apology followed.
Instead, the "scary" Azov suddenly became "inspiring" so he could continue to misrepresent himself as a credible journalist.

As to @NeilPHauer who replied to @aprilsparkles1 with an angry comment:
We found this photo of Christopher Miller leaving the base for coffee and walking past a kebab shop with some interesting graffiti.
We wonder what the #InterestingGraffiti means 🧐

To the best of our knowledge, @NeilPHauer is yet to apologise to a Ukrainian activist @GicAriana for calling her "severely mentally ill" - in response to calling our the lies of @ChristopherJM
This is gaslighting and an unfortunate lack of journalistic accountability.

Finally, @NeilPHauer
If after a trip to Donbas, you're still struggling to establish wherher there is an ongoing #GenocideOfUkrainians, may be worth considering a new career for both you & @ChristopherJM
❗️Journalism requires integrity
✨Ukraine deserves better coverage

❗️Genocide is a process that develops in ten stages that are predictable but not inexorable.
❗️At each stage, preventive measures can stop it.
❓@ChristopherJM and @NeilPHauer - what are you both doing during #GenocideOfUkrainians? And why?

According to @TimothyDSnyder,
#GenocideOfUkrainians is very unusual.
❗️It's unusual because it was announced by the russians in advance.
They openly told everyone what they were going to do - we translated it on request of @BackAndAlive.

❗️All of this has happened to us before, multiple times
Ukraine will win no matter what.
❗️But making sure that justice is served after #GenocideOfUkrainians is stopped, is everyone's responsibility.
