EU excels at denying bank accounts to Russians with humanitarian visas but fails to control exports of dual-use goods that fuel Putin's killing machine.

🧵How the discriminatory interpretation of the 19th sanctions package hands the Kremlin a new mobilization tool — [1/10] Image
On November 1, 2025, thousands of Russian citizens who fled dictatorship and Putin's criminal war, legally residing in the EU, discovered their bank accounts had been unexpectedly closed. These are people who chose Europe over complicity in Putin's war crimes.

[2/10]
One of the major banks justified its decision by citing compliance with the 19th sanctions package imposed on Russia's economy on October 24. The company claims the new sanctions policy prohibits servicing any bank accounts of Russian and Belarusian citizens without valid temporary or permanent EU residence permits.

Putin's biggest fear has been exposed.

As a Russian dissident who spent 10 years in his prisons, I can tell you it's not sanctions or missiles. It's the rising legitimacy of the Russian opposition.

🧵 And that legitimacy just got a major boost.

[1/12] Image
In an unprecedented decision, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) recently voted to establish a "Russian Democratic Forces Platform". For the first time since the Ukraine invasion, Russia will be represented at PACE — not by Putin, but by a relatively united democratic opposition.

[2/12]
This is a diplomatic breakthrough for those of us in the opposition and it has Putin terrified. His entire regime rests on his personal power — without him, it has zero legitimacy in the eyes of Russians and the world. The opposition's growing international stature directly threatens that.

In Putin's army, soldiers are being tortured, executed, and buried by their own commanders.

It's a practice so widespread that it's got a name - 'obnuleniye', or 'zeroing out'

(🧵Read on) Image
'Zeroing out' means killing one's own soldiers, sometimes by gunfire, sometimes through torture, and sometimes by sending them into suicidal wave assaults without weapons

[2/17]
The practice began with summary executions as a punishment for disobedience. By now, it's taken root and become systematic. Soldiers are being murdered as a means of discipline, extortion, and control

Trump's new sanctions won't work, but Tomahawk missiles to Kyiv might. Putin isn't a politician, he's a mob boss who only understands force.

🧵Here's why the recent talk of long-range weapons has rattled him, and what needs to happen next: [1/12] Image
Image
It is a positive step that President Trump seems to have abandoned the 'good cop' role in dealing with Putin. But no amount of sanctions are going to be damaging enough to get results

[2/12]
The important thing to remember with Putin is that he isn't a politician, but a mob boss. He is used to living in a world where only force is important, and rule of law doesn't exist

In 2019, Putin pompously opened a gas pipeline to China.

6 years later, having lost its EU market, Gazprom finds itself drowning in a staggering $72.7b of debt

(🧵Read on — 1/11)
This month, Forbes Russia released its list of the 10 Russian companies with the largest amount of debt.

And Gazprom was at the very top of that list

[2/11]
According to Forbes, as of June 30 of this year, Gazprom’s net financial debt was 5.79 trillion roubles, or $72.7 billion

This is Sergey, a 19-year-old Russian conscript. He refuses to fight in Ukraine, and warns that any contract 'signed' by him would be coerced.

🧵 Sergey is far from alone — [1/8]
In Moscow—a city Putin has long sought to shield from the impact of the war—the military is rounding up so-called draft dodgers at Metro stations, using facial recognition technology.

[2/8]
They refuse to serve because they know they could be coerced into signing a contract—potentially facing torture if they refuse—which is a tactic to make their deployment to the frontlines seem voluntary.
