Putin and Xi proclaimed a "limitless partnership," but a leaked FSB memo reveals the truth: Russian intelligence calls China "the enemy" and warns of Beijing's espionage, military theft, territorial ambitions in Siberia.

The alliance is a trap and Putin knows it.

🧵Read on
The FSB believes China is trying to recruit disaffected Russian scientists and officials, steal military secrets (especially from the Ukraine front) and lay the groundwork for future territorial claims in the Far East. All while publicly calling Russia its ‘partner’
Behind the fanfare of geopolitical unity, Putin has walked the country into a trap. The same regime that loves to shout about sovereignty has reduced Russia to a dependent supplier of raw materials to a more powerful nation

Putin ordered his officials to "strangle" foreign internet services. "I say that without any hesitation," he declared.

In January, they accidentally strangled the entire Russian internet. Banking apps died. Government sites crashed.

🧵Here's the list of apps they blocked
— Signal (August 2024)
— Discord (October 2024)
— Viber (December 2024)
— 150+ VPN services
— 700+ materials about VPNs
WhatsApp seems to be next. 80% of Russians use it. The gaming platform Steam faces the same fate.

The Russian Anti-War Committee demands an immediate, unconditional ceasefire in Ukraine to stop the senseless bloodshed.

But let's be clear: stopping the fighting doesn't end the war. The war comes from the very nature of Putin's regime.

🧵Russian opposition's warning to the world (1/9)Image
2/ Stopping the fighting in Ukraine will end the senseless deaths on both sides of the frontline. But a ceasefire does not mean the war is over. The war stems from the very nature of Putin's regime and will continue as long as that regime exists.
3/ Putin's regime was designed from the start to crush civil liberties, destroy democratic institutions, and concentrate power in the hands of one man. Internal violence against civil society and external aggression against neighbors are two sides of the same totalitarian coin.

A Moscow court sentenced Anastasia Burakova to 7.5 years in prison in absentia.

@KovchegLive (The Ark) — the organization she runs — housed 4,000+ Russians fleeing mobilization and helped 160,000 navigate emigration since 2022.

Russia wanted her on Interpol's list. Interpol said no. (Read on)Image
Burakova was convicted for a speech at an anti-war rally in Tbilisi where she said Russian forces were "destroying Ukrainian cities, torturing people in occupied territories, killing civilians."
During Putin's mobilization in September 2022, Ark's capacity surged from 28 to 220 beds. They opened emergency shelters in Kazakhstan as hundreds of thousands fled conscription to the neighboring visa-free country. koerber-stiftung.de/en/projects/uk…

The world has fallen back 50 years

Europe's military budgets are set to reach 5% of GDP. Smart leaders know — Putin will start new wars within 3 years.

🧵Yet, they lose sight of another threat: Russia's irreversible drift into China's orbit (Read on)

From today's session of the Russian Anti-War Committee on European Security and PeacemakingImage
We've returned to the 1970s, and this is exemplified by the escalation already built into Western military budgets: Europe finally awakens to this uncomfortable reality of a Cold War-style military threat at its doorstep and increases military spending.
This is a logical, slightly belated but necessary step because Putin operates on a predictable cycle. He starts conflicts whenever his domestic position weakens — this is his modus operandi, war serves as a political tool rather than a last resort.

Soviet Union lost 27 million people fighting Nazis in WWII. Now Putin exploits their sacrifice to justify bombing Ukrainian children.

He tries to equate the Great Patriotic War and his fascist aggression. But the comparison fails on every level — here are the facts: Image
The Great Patriotic War began when Germany invaded the Soviet Union without warning. Hitler's goal was clear: destroy the Soviet state and its people.

In 2022, at 4 AM on February 24th, Kyiv was bombed - but Russia was doing the bombing. No one attacked Russia. Putin ordered his troops to invade a neighboring country without provocation.Image
Image
In 1941, Soviet people knew exactly why they fought: "We were treacherously attacked, we will fight because our cause is just."

The Ukraine invasion began with incoherent objectives. "Denazification" as a goal was quickly abandoned. Now the Kremlin avoids specifics but keeps saying that "all objectives will be achieved."Image
