#Genocide
@nedprice @StateDept @NPR @deborahamos 🚨#Russia's large-scale invasion includes the large-scale removal of #Ukraine's most vulnerable children. Children w/ prewar guardianship status were primarily targeted for re-education camps. Orphans & disabled in institutions were targeted for deportation & adoption. #WarCrimes
@nedprice @StateDept @NPR @deborahamos Russia began to systematically transport children from Ukraine days BEFORE Feb. invasion. The first transports included 500 purported orphans ‘evacuated’ from Donetsk by Russia. By March, children were leaving Ukraine for camps in Russia under auspices of free recreational trips.
@nedprice @StateDept @NPR @deborahamos The camps & facilities holding children from #Ukraine are part of a system coordinated by #Russia's federal govt. Regional & local officials manage & give logistical support. Putin personally appointed many of the program officials & publicly supports their efforts. #WarCriminals
@nedprice @StateDept @NPR @deborahamos After Russia's Feb.2022 invasion, children's "summer camps" expanded & expressly state their purpose: to “integrate” children from newly occupied Ukraine territories into Russian life by forcing pro-Russia history & culture. Some kids got military training❗️
#WarCrimes #Genocide
@nedprice @StateDept @NPR @deborahamos Rushed adoption, transferring children across borders, holding them incommunicado from families, prolonged custody w/o express parental consent, political indoctrination, mil.
training—are all potential violations of int'l law.

"At present, Russia should be considered in breach"
💥ISW concludes #Russia’s reeducation camps for Ukrainian children, as documented in Yale HRL report, is part of a wider campaign of #EthnicCleansing in #Ukraine.

‼️Now THIS warrants a special counsel, AG Garland >> Trump was under **criminal investigation** while running for re-election in 2020 and Barr & Durham kept it secret nytimes.com/2023/01/26/us/…
Truly staggering abuse of power (& hypocrisy!) by AG Barr & Durham. Not only did they shield criminal Trump, but the witchhunts against Dems! Durham was so duped by Russian disinformation on Dems that he bypassed a judge's order that it wasn't credible & demanded private emails.
4 years & Durham found no deep state plot—but not for lack of trying unethically hard. His inquiry also suffered the very same flaws GOP claimed characterized the Russia investigation: strained justification for opening it & partisan conspiracy theories—pushed by AG Barr himself!

💥A Russian asset INSIDE the FBI NY Field Office, the office also suspected of helping Russia pull off its attack on the 2016 election.
😨"officials who know and have worked with McGonigal said they were shocked by the indictments. As a senior FBI counterintelligence official, McGonigal had access to an extraordinary amount of sensitive information…One former official said that McGonigal had worked with the CIA" Image
"The charges against McGonigal alarmed his former colleagues in part because of his depth of knowledge of so many elements of U.S. espionage. McGonigal was an expert on Russian intelligence activities targeting the United States, as well as U.S. efforts to recruit Russian spies" Image

🇺🇦@lukeharding1968 to @FareedZakaria on the war:

"Ukrainians (fighting for their country & democracy) keep on surprising us… We've come such a long way in 10 months… #Ukraine has evicted #Russia from 1/2 the territory it seized… They're determined to liberate everything."
@lukeharding1968 @FareedZakaria Good @CNN segment on Russia-Ukraine war. Frustrating though that Luke had to correct Zakaria, who repeated 🇷🇺 propaganda on both Donbas & language issues.

Ukraine is bilingual. Russian is NOT banned. Ukrainian is the official language.
@PolitiFact debunk: politifact.com/factchecks/202…
@lukeharding1968 @FareedZakaria @CNN @PolitiFact Donbas had plenty of pro-Ukraine supporters, as 2014 protests showed. They were silenced & fled. Russia fans were mostly older, susceptible to Russian propaganda, which flooded Donbas w/ lies about a "US-Nazi coup" in Kyiv, before flooding Donbas with Russian weapons & military.

At least 25,000 killed in #Russia's siege of #Mariupol🇺🇦. Many are still buried in collapsed buildings. 90% of the apartments & 60% private homes are damaged or destroyed. Nonetheless ~100,000 people still live in the occupied city, trying to survive under unspeakable conditions.
