There are thousands of Russians in U.S. immigration detention

Several hundred anti-war activists among them face grave danger if deported to Russia.

🧵 We're ready to help identify those most at risk
Among the approximately 100,000 Russians seeking asylum or humanitarian visas in the U.S., around 5,000 are being held in immigration detention facilities. Within this group, several hundred individuals face genuine political persecution in Russia due to their anti-war and pro-democracy stances.
There are hundreds of dissidents who, if deported back to Russia, will face immediate imprisonment and even torture. There are already examples of individuals being deported and imprisoned for acts such as protesting against Putin and the war, or for being deserters.

The diplomatic chaos around Ukraine is what happens when all sides realize their positions have become unsustainable.

Every major actor has hit their limit.

🧵Here’s why I believe a path to Peace in Ukraine is real: Image

Let me be blunt about Trump's position as I see it: He doesn't care about Ukrainian sovereignty or Russian security concerns.

He cares about one thing only – reporting back to his voters and getting his Nobel Prize.
His entire strategy revolves around forcing both sides into a room and making them cut a deal, any deal. He wants to pivot to China, and Ukraine and Russia are just obstacles along the way—a fact China understands well and, on the contrary, wants this situation to drag on.

So does Europe, but for a different reason: As long as Russia is bogged down in Ukraine, Europe is in relative safety.

7 years after Putin unveiled 5 'invincible' superweapons, only 1 has seen combat.

Now he's betting the Burevestnik missile—which killed 5 people in testing—will end the war on favorable terms.

🧵 The Update on all of Putin’s 2018 WeaponsImage
At the end of August, in a highly symbolic act, Putin visited Sarov, the birthplace of the Soviet nuclear program. Alongside him was his Chief of the General Staff, Gerasimov. Image
The official purpose of the visit was to review the status of the nuclear-powered and nuclear-armed Burevestnik cruise missile. It coincided with a logistical build-up at the Pankovo nuclear test site in the Arctic. reuters.com/world/europe/p…

When Russian model Guzel Ganieva threatened Epstein's network in 2015, he turned to an unusual source: Sergei Belyakov, the FSB-trained official running Putin's St. Petersburg Economic Forum.

🧵Here's how Epstein worked with Putin's regime: Image
Belyakov wasn't some rank and file official. He graduated from the FSB Academy in 1998 and embedded himself in Russia's economic elite.
By 35, he was Deputy Minister. His real job, however, didn't change - he was FSB, placed to run influence operations from inside the government.

Putin's "Christianity" at full display: a 63-year-old pastor sentenced for preaching peace.

Nikolai Romanyuk called war a sin and urged believers to refuse the draft.

🧵For this, a Russian court sentenced him to 4 years under laws against "threats to state security." Image
The court convicted Romanyuk under Article 280.4 of Russia’s Criminal Code for public calls against state security. The conviction rested on a sermon he delivered in September 2022 and was published on the church's YouTube channel.
Romanyuk is a senior pastor of the Evangelical Church of the Holy Trinity.

Officers, carrying automatic rifles, detained him during a raid on October 18, 2024, at his home.

The United States is now Putin's deportation partner.

Russian political refugees who sought safety in the U.S. are being returned on charter flights. Upon return, they face hours-long interrogations by security services.

🧵Here's what is known about the latest flight: Image
On August 27, at least 30 Russian citizens were deported from the United States back to Russia. According to Dmitry Valuyev, president of Russian America for Democracy in Russia, most were asylum seekers who had fled political persecution. theins.ru/en/news/284453
The actual number may be higher—Anna Shumova from Russian Seattle for Freedom reports 60-65 people on that charter flight alone.
