In tonight's segment of 'Understanding Genocide in Ukraine', we will discuss the Holodomor and examine a new report by international human rights law firm Global Rights Compliance about russia's latest actions to weaponize Ukrainian agriculture: globalrightscompliance.com/2023/11/16/new…x.com/MriyaReport/st…
This can be an emotional topic; here are resources we share every week to assist if you experience distress.
I realized the link to the Global Rights Compliance Report is a bit hard to see on their web site page, so here's the direct link to the PDF there: globalrightscompliance.com/wp-content/upl…
After the fall of the Soviet Union, researchers had access to USSR records that made the anti-Ukrainian bias during Holodomor more evident, contrary to what they had expected to find. insight.kellogg.northwestern.edu/article/ukrain…

Tonight we are delighted to speak with Zarina Zabrisky, @ZarinaZabrisky , Director of "Kherson Human Safari", documenting russian war crimes in Kherson.
We discussed this topic earlier this month after the UN and Human Rights Watch reports were published. Zarina's been there since shortly after Kherson was liberated. Here's our thread from a few weeks ago on the topic:
And embedded in that thread is an extensive thread from @KanariFella which includes much of Zarina's work, which first quoted an inhabitant of Kherson, Tatiana, using the expression "human safari" in July 2024.
The additional information under the number of deported and or forcibly displaced children notes open source data obtained from the russian federation states it's 744 thousand children. childrenofwar.gov.ua/en/
In May, 183 civilians were killed in Ukraine due to full-scale Russian aggression. In May, civilian casualties were recorded in 17 oblasts of Ukraine and the city of Kyiv, including in areas far from the front line.
Tonight on Genocide in Ukraine, we will discuss the May 28, 2025 UN report on the russian systematic drone attacks targeting Ukrainian civilians in Kherson. 🧵
This has been reported for almost a year, but in the last week both the UN report and a Human Rights Watch report have been published on the topic. Here's the May 28 UN press release:
I and a dear friend just got our English-language copies of Victoria Amelina's @vamelina unfinished book this week. Her life was cut short in 2023 by a russian missile striking a city center in Kramatorsk, Ukraine on June 27, 2022. 🧵
I have been staring at the finished book in my hands for days now, so thankful for the strong women who have completed Vika's project, yet frozen when I tried to open it to read.
I read the forward last night but could not bring myself to read further to Vika's actual words. It's almost as if reading them is a final acceptance of her death, despite all of her words clearly telling me otherwise.
Tonight on Genocide in Ukraine we will continue our discussion about the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Genocide Convention, and the Yale Humanitarian Research Lab report on Russia’s Systematic Program of Coerced Adoption and Fostering of Ukraine’s Children.
Tonight on Genocide in Ukraine we'll discuss the Holodomor and commemoration events this weekend. 91 years ago, russia tried to starve Ukraine into submission. They've tried it again in this war, too.
We discussed the Holodomor last year during its 90th commemoration. Extensive thread with great information shared by many participants: threadreaderapp.com/thread/1728215…
