Sedanka has no running water, no indoor toilets.

What it does have: a brand-new monument to the "heroes of the special military operation."

A village of 258 people has lost 12 men, 7 more are missing (🧵Read on) Image
Winter temperatures here, 7,000km from Ukraine, fall to -10C and below. Firewood is how people survive. But with all the men gone, local women say there is nobody to gather and chop it.

[2/12]
One in five houses in the village has been declared unsafe. The only school is in a state of emergency, with walls at risk of collapse. Roofs were repaired on a handful of soldiers’ homes, but only after media attention.

My friend Boris Nemtsov was murdered 11 years ago today. He was one of the few who openly challenged Putin, and it cost him his life.

🧵The case was solved just enough to bury it. [1/10] Image
We met in the 1990s. Over two decades, different paths, different fates. While I was in prison, Boris stood at pickets holding my portrait, supported my family, and never stopped fighting for my freedom. You don't forget thinks like that.

[2/10]
When I was released, we sat down and talked for hours about Russia, about how to stop autocracy before it swallows everything, about how to avoid the worst. Boris was completely in the picture: sharp, alive, angry in the best sense of the word.

Dialog with Putin isn't just possible — it's unavoidable.

But the Europeans pushing for it are focused on the wrong thing entirely.

↓ Here's what they should focus on instead 🧵
At the @MunSecConf, many European politicians asked me whether dialog with Putin is still possible, or even desirable.

My position has not changed in four years: yes, there must be dialog. He is an enemy, but you must always talk to your enemy.

[2/21]
If there is nothing else to discuss, then you discuss the rules of war. Prisoner exchanges. The conditions in which prisoners of war are held.

These matters must be addressed regardless of politics. Every war ends in an agreement. Even when one side capitulates, the capitulation is formalized through a treaty.

Putin sold Russia's partnership with China as a triumph of multipolarity.

In reality, he's turned Russia into Beijing's discount gas station — and a new report lays out exactly how deep the dependency goes.

(🧵Read on — 1/12)
The @nestcentreorg report "Marriage Without Love" makes a simple argument: this is not the strategic alliance they swear it is. Instead, it is a transactional arrangement built on necessity, opportunism, and shared hostility toward the West.

[2/12]
The imbalance in what each side gets is stark: Russia exports oil, gas, and raw materials. China sends back electronics, machinery, and manufactured goods. Russia here is a commodity supplier, not an equal partner by any means.

Georgy Avaliani didn't want to kill Ukrainians. For that, he was thrown in a basement and tortured. He escaped on his 3rd attempt.

🧵Now Germany says he can go back safely. Germany is wrong — [1/10] Image
Georgy Avaliani was mobilised in September 2022 and sent to the front weeks later. After trying to flee the war, he was captured and tortured in a makeshift detention cell known as 'the basement'

[2/10]
He was then forced back to the front. After ending up in hospital, he tried to escape again, but failed. Only on a third attempt did he manage to flee Russia altogether

We were taught that truth is the best weapon.

That if people have access to facts, they'll figure it out.

This turned out to be completely, dangerously wrong

(🧵Read on)
Information is no longer scarce: everyone has access to it. The Kremlin understood this sooner than most. Unlike Pravda in Soviet times, they don't see hiding facts as the biggest priority — instead, they flood you with versions of events until you start drowning in them.

[2/15]
This is not to say censorship in Russia isn't brutal — it absolutely is, and people spend years in prison for speaking out. It's just not the regime's most important tool. They do silence dissent, but what makes the real difference is what they amplify and how they frame it.
