Every step of the operation, its operational goals, directions, and dates of beginning and ending are up to the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and depend on the current situation on the ground. #RussiaUkraineWar
There are lots of insinuations about when why, and how it's going or not going to happen. It's very important to remember that #Russian propaganda is active in creating many of such insinuations. #Ukrainecounteroffensive
That's why only messages from official channels can be a reliable source of information. The #Ukrainian counter-offensive is a deliberate decision of the AFU and Ukraine's leadership motivated to liberate Ukraine and its supported and encouraged by Ukrainians. #StandWithUkraine

❗️ How many Ukrainians have been deported to Russia since February 24th, 2022? What are Russia’s pretexts, methods, and goals for these deportations?
UkraineWorld spoke to Vladyslav Havrylov, researcher at the Where are my people? project, to find out. 1/14
Dmytro Lubinets, Ukraine’s human rights ombudsman, says that 2,8 million Ukrainians have been deported to Russia since the start of the full-scale invasion. Non- and semi-official Russian sources report as many as 4,5 million deported Ukrainians, whom 🇷🇺 calls “refugees”. 2/14
To put things into perspective, during the 69 years of the Soviet Union’s existence, the total number of people in ALL Soviet republics subjected to deportations by the Kremlin was 6 million. 3/14
The statement "Russia is a victim of the West" is a common propaganda tactic used by the #Russian officials to justify its aggressive actions and deflect criticism from its own actions. #UW_InfoWatch#AgainstRussianLies
While it is true that Russia has faced significant challenges and hardships over the years, including economic sanctions and political isolation, it is important to recognise that Russia's own actions have contributed to these difficulties.
#Russia has been involved in numerous conflicts and military interventions, including annexing Crimea, support for separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine, military operations in Syria, the war in Georgia and a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. #RussiaisATerroistState
As of the beginning of April 2023, the number of registered individual entrepreneurs is almost 2 million, and there are more than 1.2 million companies. It is worth noting that new open cases fully compensated closed individual entrepreneurs this year.
And the number of newly registered companies is 5.6 times greater than that of businesses that have stopped working. #UkraineWillWin
Zaporizhya Nuclear Power Plant, located in southeastern Ukraine, is one of Europe's largest nuclear power plants and is critical to Ukraine's energy security. #UW_InfoWatch#AgainstRussianLies
However, almost since the #Russian full-scale invasion, the plant has been under illegal occupation by Russian-backed forces. This occupation poses a significant threat to the safety of the plant's workers and the region's security and stability. #RussiaIsATerroristState
The potential for an accident or sabotage at the plant could lead to catastrophic consequences not only for Ukraine and the world. 🇷🇺 propaganda media in advance, write about the attempts of 🇺🇦 troops to seize the ZNPP, forgetting that the plant is located on Ukrainian territory.
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
