The first act of Russia's hybrid aggression against Ukraine happened 9 years ago. On February 27, 2014, Russian special forces without insignia seized the Verkhovna Rada and the Council of Ministers of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea 🧵
Russia lied that its military didn't seize government buildings in Simferopol. Russia is always trying to avoid its responsibility for the aggression, either hiding behind fake “self-defence” and “militias” or blaming Ukraine and its partners.
The Russians coined the term “polite people” to refer to their anonymous soldiers, but the occupation of Crimea was neither peaceful nor bloodless. Hundreds of Ukrainian servicemen and civilians were wounded and injured, a large number were kidnapped and tortured.
By returning Crimea, we will restore peace. #CrimeaisUkraine #Crimea2023

Nuclear blackmail of the whole world is a style of “diplomacy” of Russia today 🧵
The former President of Russia Medvedev wrote: “If the question of the existence of Russia seriously arises, it will be resolved not on the Ukrainian front, but along with the question of the further existence of human civilization… We do not need a world without Russia.”
Medvedev's inadequacy is not a personal issue. He is a high-level official of Russia, so nuclear blackmail is the responsibility of the Russian authorities. Russian current leadership is the most irresponsible one in its history which has led to the question of its existence.

The hardest year in the 9-year war. A year that has demonstrated the strength of the Ukrainian state and society. A year of our invincibility 🧵 Image
Russia's aggression against Ukraine is unprovoked and illegal. Ukraine has tried for years to end the war and restore security peacefully, but Russia bets on escalation.
Russia's invasion has rallied the world around Ukraine. Ukraine is fighting for democratic values. And by helping us, our partners are protecting not only Ukraine from aggression but also themselves.

Today is one year of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia wages war not just through military combat, but also in the information field. Check out the main narratives of Russian propaganda 🧵 Image
Russia shared different propaganda for each region or country. For example, the main lies spread in Latin America were about the nuclear threat. For Africa, Russian narratives were shifting responsibility for “all troubles” to Ukraine — food crisis, shelling of the civilians.
Russian propaganda intimidated and blackmailed the West. Russia threatened European countries with “the use of nuclear weapons,” Sarmat missile launchers, and the “inevitability of World War III.”
