The topic of the right-wing views of Ukrainian battalions has been the most used in Russian propaganda since Euromaidan. Unfortunately, some people, even professionals, accept 🇷🇺 distorted interpretation about "Nazis in Ukraine" without diving into the context. Image
During the 2014 elections, 🇺🇦parliamentary only 2% voted for ultra-nationalist parties. Today, there is not a single far-right party in the parliament. This shows that right radical ideology is declined by 🇺🇦society. @ZelenskyyUa is Jewish. In 2018, @pewresearch said that 🇺🇦had… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Every army is a cross-section of society, with its own minorities, even those as marginal as the far right. Don't base your idea of a nation or army on a few context-free photos of skull and crossbones patches. Firstly, many of them are simply made up by Russians, and secondly,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image

🇷🇺 army is in such great condition it hires combats worldwide to die in the Russian holy war in Ukraine. Wagner PMC recruits for combat, IT, PSYOP, medical positions, and more on Twitter and FB. Research by @politico and @LogicallyAI exposes 60 job ads with 120,000 views. Image
The direct connection between the aids to Wagner can't be attributed. Still, the researchers find similarities between these posts and the Wagner ones on 🇷🇺 platforms like Telegram and VK. The language used strongly resembles the paramilitary group and its supporters. Image
An analysis from a Western gov official, shared with @politico, confirmed that at least 2 phone numbers in these aid posts are linked to Wagner Group or Russia's intelligence service. The researchers mentioned that Twitter didn’t give a meaningful commentary on the situation. Image

Ukraine isn’t the only country that has territorial disputes with Russia. Moreover, our resistance and striving to return our lands is a signal for other countries — don’t hesitate to restore justice🧵 Image
Japan was the first to take action as on March 8, 2022 PM Fumio Kishida addressed Russia regarding the Southern Kuriles islands, referring to them as an "integral part" of Japan. The dispute dates back to 1945 when the Kuriles were occupied by the then USSR, now Russia. Image
For the past thirty years, Moldova has had territorial claims on the self-proclaimed Transnistrian Moldovan Republic, an enclave established in the East of the country. The authority within this region relies entirely on the presence of 🇷🇺 military forces, deployed there in 1991. Image

“Every day, 82 million Russians tune into a vast web of state-controlled channels that feeds them a uniform vision of the world: a hostile, scary place, in which Russia wages a righteous battle against the forces of evil.” @AEdelWriter spent a day watching 🇷🇺 TV & described the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
The Kremlin has mastered the USSR's power of propaganda, using it to co-opt the 🇷🇺 into supporting the war. TV remains the primary news source, broadcasting the Kremlin's narrative 24/7. Channel One dominates where the news of battles with "🇺🇦 Nazis" takes precedence,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
News program Vremya (Time), once a symbol of Soviet solemnity, now presents biased views with a smirk. Hosts mock foreign leaders & portray 🇺🇦 as "tamed murderers." Talk shows dehumanize Ukrainians and glorify the war as a "blessed deed." 🇷🇺 soldiers are "heroes," 🇺🇦 are… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image

“The war in Ukraine is not here to entertain you.” I read the story about @JeffreyGoldberg and @anneapplebaum recent travel to Ukraine, and it was one of the best pieces I read lately. Why the war in Ukraine is globally important, and why Americans have a reason to root for… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
The speakers clearly state why any American should support Ukraine. Investing in Ukraine is a proactive measure to safeguard US soldiers in the future. By preventing the occupation of Ukraine and Russian presence near Poland and the Baltic states, NATO prevents its soldiers from… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Members of a group of U.S. ...
I love how accurately @anneapplebaum explained the long-awaited counteroffensive: “It’s not gonna be like, there’s a moment when, you know, someone puts up a big banner and says, right, “Spring offensive has now begun.” The war is not an entertainment show, and the public can’t… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image

On May 21, the Russian MoD stated that they "completely" occupied Bakhmut, which were trying to seize for more than 10 months. Prigozhin promised the Wagner PMC's turnover with the Russian troops, while the Western South suburbs are controlled by Ukraine, waiting to encirclement… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
The question of the goal Russia was fighting and destroying Bakhmut remains unanswered. The capture of Bakhmut was intended to pave the way for further advances, but larger cities like Kramatorsk and Sloviansk remain elusive. Russian troops have suffered heavy losses, and their… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
“If Ukraine does manage to retake territory, that could give Russia’s far larger air force an upper hand as Ukrainian troops push forward, outside the range of their air defenses.” About 20 Ukrainian pilots are beginning the training on F-16 jets in the UK, so hope this obstacle… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image

While criticizing the West, Russians desperately seek its validation. Scott Ritter is an example of those who discredited themselves at home and now want to be perceived as a source of “honest analysis” in Russia as a means to achieve renewed glory. “They see a financial and… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Ritter diligently spread disinfo and fakes about the Russo-Ukrainian war on YouTube channels and articles, like echoing 🇷🇺 propaganda narratives on the culturally divided Ukraine or "the long-awaited and much-touted Ukrainian spring offensive," which won't happen. Image
"Everybody panic, except Russia. Why? Because Russia is not losing. Russia is winning." - concludes Ritter from the statements that 🇷🇺 victory in 🇺🇦 would be a strategic loss for NATO. He managed to turn the biggest symbolic defeat of 🇷🇺 - the Crimean Bridge hit - into a sign of… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
