Russia's secret fleet: How "floating scrap" tankers are evading sanctions and creating an environmental time bomb.

🧵@dossier_center investigation exposes the dangerous shell game playing out in international waters
Dossier tracked one such vessel, the Morpheus, which is anchored off Cyprus. It never leaves the area. Instead, it receives Russian oil from inbound tankers and offloads it to others, masking its Russian origin through a series of transfers
On Feb 19, Dossier filmed the Voula, a tanker from Novorossiysk, transferring 30,000 tons of oil products to the Morpheus off Limassol. The operation took place in neutral waters —beyond the legal reach of Cyprus or the EU

The Soviet regime couldn't break him with forced psychiatry. Now Putin's Russia has sentenced 67-year-old Alexander Skobkov to 16 years. Image
Skobov was twice sentenced to three years of punitive psychiatry in 1978 and 1985 because of his activism against the Soviet dictatorship. Now, his continued resistance to tyranny has landed him in prison
He was convicted by a St Petersburg court of ‘justifying terrorism’ over his prior participation in the democratic Free Russia Forum, as well as a Telegram post he made about the explosion on the bridge linking Russia to occupied Crimea

In 2022, Putin bombed Mariupol theater where women and children sheltered.

Russian journalist Maria Ponomarenko wrote about it on Telegram, got 6 years.

🧵 But even that wasn't enough. Now she's on the verge of killing herself because of mistreatment when in prison Image
Maria was imprisoned over Telegram posts about the air strike on the Mariupol Drama Theater in 2022 – you will have seen images of the building with the word “children” spelled out on the ground outside in a desperate bid to deter attacks

During her most recent court hearing, Maria showed her lawyers a cut on her arm, where she had cut herself out of desperation after being mistreated by prison staff. She is also on a dry hunger strike

Putin thinks he's winning in Ukraine.

And his response to the proposed ceasefire proves it.

🧵Read on to understand his real strategy and goals Image
Trump and Putin’s private talks have ended in an agreement on a 30-day pause on strikes against energy infrastructure. A dirty peace, but better than no peace at all.
It is a far cry from a full ceasefire, which Ukraine had already agreed to, under Trump’s pressure. Meanwhile, Putin keeps adding conditions

Putin has ruled Russia for 25+ years. One group has remained unshakably loyal: his bodyguards.

They protect him, secure his homes test his food for poison. FSB officers cook him food

@dossier_center reveals the extraordinary measures taken to protect Putin Image

The Presidential Security Service (SBP), part of the Federal Protective Service (FSO), is an elite, autonomous unit. It protects Putin, secures his residences, prepares his food, and even maintains his properties
SBP officers are expected to lay down their lives for Putin. They remained by his side even during the pandemic, when he isolated himself. They also guard his children and closest associates

22 years ago – how time flies – I wrote a report on Russian corruption. I told Putin about corruption in his circle, gave examples.

I asked him directly: does Putin want 25% of his compatriots to consider the Russian President a bribe-taker?

🧵What happened after showed I thought better of him than he deserved. 1/9
It was the first anti-corruption investigation before it became mainstream! Social media wasn't really a thing back then, so I had to present it personally at the Kremlin, where he met with the business community. 2/9
Soon after, I was arrested on made-up charges. The accusation was ridiculous: stealing oil from my own company, Yukos. That speech would cost me 10 years of my life. 3/9
