The Azovstal in Mariupol was one of them. The factory was shelled by the #Russian, causing damage to the equipment, buildings, and production lines. Last year, the Russian authorities claimed that they were willing to participate in rebuilding, including the industrial plants.
However, this rhetoric has not translated into action. The reconstruction of the Azovstal factory and other damaged industrial plants is crucial for the region's economic recovery, but it seems that Russia is not willing to contribute to this effort. #RussiaUkraineWar️
Russia is not going to rebuild what it destroyed. Acting with blackmail and threats, #Russia intends to impose negotiations on Ukraine and its allies on its own terms, which naturally do not include the payment of reparations. #StopRussia
However, the longer the Russian Federation delays negotiations on reparations, the worse it will be for it. Ukraine will definitely present an account to Russia after the victory, and #RussiaIsATerroristState will be forced to pay it one way or another.

A group of Ukrainian academics wrote an open letter to Noam Chomsky, whose opinion on the Russian war against Ukraine reminds main narratives of Russian propaganda. The key points 👇1/5
Ukraine has aimed to detach from the Russian sphere of influence due to the history of oppression, genocide, and denial of Ukrainian identity. Ukraine is fighting for its freedom. It doesn't have anything in common with the US influence. 2/5
🇺🇦 and 🇬🇪 aspired to join NATO not to threaten 🇷🇺, but to protect themselves from its imperialism.
There can't be any rationalization of so-called "demilitarization" and "denazification". These are false concepts invented by 🇷🇺 to justify extermination of Ukrainians. 3/5
Prohibilitons to sleep, sit and bathe, beatings and constant moral pressure, tortures, absence of normal food and medical help, threats of rape, sexual violence - these are the realities that Ukrainian women have to face in #Russian captivity. #UW_InfoWatch#AgainstRussianLies
There cases of humiliation when women were forcefully shaved or were threatened to cut off or burn their hands because of pro-#Ukrainian tattoos.
Declaring respect for "traditional values" and "care for women", Russian troops rape Ukrainian women in occupied territories and torture those who go to defend their country or just have a pro-Ukrainian position. #RussiaIsATerroristState
The news on Russian television again accused that "the Ukrainian side attacked Donbas". For so many years, we have become accustomed to lies and manipulations in the media space of the aggressor country. But that's a higher level of cynicism... #AgainstRussianLies#UW_InfoWatch
However, a recent news broadcast on one of the propaganda channels Russia 1 once again exposed the true nature of this country. The video footage showed another "attack by Ukraine on peaceful civilians".
However, to create this story, propagandists used video footage of the aftermath of a missile strike by Russia on #Uman.

How Russians searched the homes of Kherson residents during the occupation of the city. #UkraineWorldTestimony
Viktoriia Kirilova, who survived the 8-month occupation of Kherson, described how Russians searched the homes of locals and took people for interrogation. 1/12
She said that home searches could be divided into two types:
1️⃣ From 9 to 12 armed officers would enter a home. Sometimes they would say they were from the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) because they were driving cars with 🇺🇦 license plates stolen from local residents. 2/12
Of course, they couldn't have been from the SBU, because the occupiers would have imprisoned or shot any SBU personnel.
If you were lucky, the hours-long interrogation would take place at your home, says Kirilova. The occupiers would pressure people to collaborate with them. 3/12
If there is no significant success, "imagine it and threaten the world with nuclear weapons" - this could have been a central idea of today`s Russia politics. 1/4 #UW_InfoWatch#AgainstRussianLies
As long as Russia begins to lose its blackmail influence, it begins to appeal to nuclear weapons. This happened after the increasing of amount of military help for Ukraine and decision to supply it with tanks. 2/4 #RussiaIsATerroristState
This happened when Ukraine began to de-occupy its territories in Kharkiv and Kherson regions. This is happening now when Ukraine and the West don`t agree with ""peaceful plans"" according to Russia`s interest. 3/4 #RussiaIsCollapsing
The story of Zakhar Biryukov, who was seriously injured in the war and is now undergoing treatment abroad. #UkraineWorldTestimony 1/12
Zakhar Biryukov joined the defense of Ukraine in 2015 because he didn't want his country to be taken over by the Russians. Zakhar couldn’t accept that some bastards had started killing his countrymen and seizing towns and villages, so he chose to fight them. 2/12
As a soldier, Zakhar realized that a full-scale war was inevitable. He and his comrades did not know when exactly Russia would attempt a full invasion of Ukraine, but he was ready for it. 3/12
