Meet a New York Times reporter, Ivan Nechepurenko, a russian national who still lives in russia.
1/n Image
2/ Ivan denies russia invaded Ukraine in 2014, promotes Kremlin narratives about a Ukrainian civil war, blames the West for what russia is doing in Ukraine, advocates for the West to accept Crimea as russia.
3/ ‘expertly’ explained in 2015 that russia had no interest in Ukraine beyond Crimea, ‘expertly’ dismissed the build up to the full scale war in early 2022 as a “reality show”, and very frequently retweets other prominent russian chauvinists and propagandists.
4/ How in the world this morally bankrupt individual works at NYT? I think we know the answer.

Russia killed them.

This morning, while you were having breakfast and coffee, russians murdered three Ukrainian children.

Don’t worry — not yours. Yours are safe.

2/ They will never sit at their desks again.
Never see their friends.
Never walk into school again.

8-year-old Stanislav.
12-year-old Tamara.
17-year-old Roman.

They will never hug their parents.
Never celebrate another birthday.
Never dream about their future.
3/ For a long time, I blamed only russia and its imperial regime for these atrocities. But not anymore. Now I also blame those who remain silently complicit — or worse, support this genocide.

Impatience is growing in the U.S. Senate over sanctions against russia.

A bipartisan bill from Senators Lindsey Graham (R) and Richard Blumenthal (D) already has 81 backers out of 100. In today’s Washington, that’s a supermajority miracle.

1/n Image
2/ The bill includes:
— Direct sanctions
— Secondary sanctions
— A 500% tariff on imports from countries buying russian oil, gas, uranium, etc.

It’s aimed primarily at China. “Without China’s support, Putin’s war machine would grind to a halt,” they say.
3/ But there’s a catch.

Republicans are waiting for a green light from Donald Trump. Senate GOP Leader John Thune says they won’t move without him. Some Republicans agree. Others are done waiting.

“If I’m president, I will have that war settled in one day — 24 hours. Before I even arrive at the Oval Office.”

Trump repeated this line at least 53 times (documented) during his campaign.

It’s now been six months since Election Day.

2/ Russia has doubled its missile and drone attacks. Ukrainian cities are burning.

And what has Trump done? He sided with Putin.
3/ I’m not disappointed in Trump. I knew he was lying.

I am disappointed with people who voted for him, and even after his lies were exposed, they still continue to support him.

“Join us, and we’ll march on Europe together.”

That’s the offer russians are making to Ukrainian prisoners of war.

Last week, Ukraine and russia conducted a 1,000-for-1,000 POW exchange. Upon returning home, Ukrainian defenders began sharing their harrowing experiences.

1/n Image
2/ 9 out of 10 were tortured — physically, psychologically, and sexually. Many faced mock executions, beatings, illegal sentencing. Some were civilians, including children — people who had nothing to do with the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
3/ Russia still holds thousands more, using them as bargaining chips — despite international law.

“All wars end with negotiations. We have to start a dialogue with russia.”

Anyone who says this hasn’t studied history.

1/n Image
2/ A negotiated peace with russia won’t be worth the paper it’s written on. russia cannot be trusted. They have lied in the past, they are lying today, and they will lie in the future.
3/ Appeasement doesn’t work either. We tried it with Hitler — and it led to World War II.
