The needs in #Kherson are obviously massive rn. We spoke to the Deputy Mayor this morning and asked her to outline their specific needs. We are raising $$ that will be spent to pay invoices on those items on the ground in 🇺🇦 such as Kherson-wide solar grids, sump pumps & more🧵👇🏻
If you are based in the US your donation is fully tax deductible as MR is a registered 501(c)3. Many employers have donation match programs for 501s. Please see if your place of employment participates & encourage others to do so as well. @MriyaReport 👇🏻
We will also coordinate with charities on the ground in #Kherson to fund & deliver many other much needed items.
1 week before the Nova #Kakhovka Dam was blown by 🇷🇺 they passed a law that any damage to hydrolic structures as a result of sabotage or hostilities on the occupied territories will NOT be allowed to be investigated until 2028.
So latest bit of #russiandisinformation#fakegnus I’ve seen floating around is a Ukrainian soldier is a former member of ISIS as evidenced by his “arm badge” clearly visible in multiple frames caught by recent TV reporting. 1/2 🧵
TBC, it isn’t that he isn’t wearing a patch that isn’t associated w/ISIS— it’s that 1) he’s Christian/always has been. 2) says he, like many soldiers, collects patches off 🇷🇺& this was a recent 🇷🇺 trophy. 3) has been interviewed a few times before this no sign of the patch. 👇🏻

During WWII, Stalin became suspicious of the Chechen population because the Germans got within a close margin of the Western mountainous region of the North Caucasus and suspected the Chechens of colluding with the Nazis— even though many were fighting on behalf of the Red Army.
