#Russian wishful thinking presents its stance on the global arena as invulnerable. Russian leaders tend to underestimate the negative effects of sanctions or ignore the fact that Russia is becoming a pariah. #UW_InfoWatch#AgainstRussianLies 1/4
They are trying to show an alternative geostrategic power structure, where the West doesn't play any role, but #Russia is in the center of new pole attracting Asian and African states. Is it really so? 2/4
๐Is it possible to create an alternative order in the global world where connections between all the players are too tight?

The story of Tetiana Korchahina, who left Kharkiv with her children. #UkraineWorldTestimony
๐ On 24 February 2022, Tetiana woke up to the sound of explosions and immediately thought, "Oh my God, has it really started?" 1/11
For the previous few days, all she could talk to her friends and family about was the possibility of Russia attacking Ukraine. But it was still hard for Tetiana to believe such savagery could happen in the 21st century. 2/11
She went into her living room to find her husband awake. Soon, the whole street had woken up. There were nonstop๐ฑcalls and ๐ฌ. Everyone was in shock. Tetiana didn't know what to do, even though she had been packing her go bag for over a week. Her husband insisted on it. 3/11
On Feb. 24, 2022, the village was occupied, so they evacuated and settled in an abandoned house in a khutir (a small rural settlement).
Natalie is now restoring this house and showing the process of its renovation on her Instagram - instagram.com/khutoraesthetic 2/14
However, Natalie, her husband, and their 5-year-old daughter still had to live the first week of the war under occupation. The fact that they were able to leave was a miracle. 3/14
#Russia is hysterical about the UK's statement about providing #Ukraine with munitions with depleted uranium. Russian leadership keeps shouting about including nuclear component into the war from the NATO side. #UW_InfoWatch#AgainstRussianLies 1/4
They also say about "considerable damage to people and environment because of the radiation". But that's only propaganda. What the munitions with depleted uranium are in fact? They don't have anything to do with nuclear or chemical weapons. 2/4
Such munitions aren't prohibited by the UN and can be found in service with number of countries including #Russia itself (using them on the battlefield). 3/4

"We took care of a 7-year-old girl whose legs were blown off by an explosion. We raised money for her prostheses and treatment. Now she is in Poland for rehabilitation," Marharyta explains. 3/12
How Russia held its pseudo-referendum in Kherson: a local woman's story. #UkraineWorldTestimony 1/11
From September 23 to 27, 2022, Russian occupation authorities held so-called "referenda" on joining the Russian Federation in the territories they controlled in Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, and Luhansk Oblasts. 2/11
Even before the results were announced, Russian propagandists claimed high voter turnout, significant public support, and a generally fair and transparent expression of the โpeopleโs will.โ 3/11
