THREAD Sorry, I cannot stop posting this. Russia commits horrific crimes on both occupied territories AND along the front line, deliberately bombing civilian population. Russia's goal is genocide of Ukrainians. Let me elaborate on this in the following thread: /1
2) Beyond attacks on Ukrainian civilians, Russia systematically violates Geneva conventions, torturing and executing Ukrainian POWs (more in the linked thread): /2
3) Russia deliberately targets civilian infrastructure, using indiscriminating weapons: /3
4) Russia kidnaps Ukrainian children, and this is not a new invention of Russia, but a system developed already in 2014: /4

5) Russia loots Ukrainian museums systematically stealing Ukrainian culture objects (and this is also not a new invention by the Russians): /5 european-resilience.org/analytics/loot…
6) Russia systematically commits ecocide in Ukraine, destroying Ukrainian nature: /6

THREAD Russian soldiers executed three Ukrainian POWs in Krynky, Kherson region, recorded the execution and published it. This is by far not the first execution of Ukrainian POWs, and clearly a part of Russia's strategy. Let me address it in this thread. /1 Image
In March 2023, Russians have forced a Ukrainian POW Oleksandr Matsiyevsky to dig his own grave, and videorecordered it. As he exclaimed "Slava Ukraini" (Glory to Ukraine), he was executed by several bullets from an assault gun. /2 Image
In July 2022, Russian soldiers published a video of how they castrated and after that executed a Ukrainian POW. Once again - they film what they do, and they publish it on social networks. /3 Image

I've been to Kharkiv, hit by Russian missiles, this week, bringing power stations and construction materials. This was a campaign supported by @EuroResilience, @BrennpunktUA, @frontlinekit, @newuseenergy and @Ernest_UA. It was clear, the next strike comes soon. It came tonight /1

Not only in Kharkiv - in Zaporizhzhya, Dnipro, and other Ukrainian cities, Russians escalate constantly, deliberately hitting civilians, rescue workers, schools, kindergartens. This is Russia's strategy they developed in Syria, and use in Ukraine. Why they do this? It's simple /2
Russia has never got punished for its crimes. In June 2023, Russia deliberately destroyed Nova Kakhovka dam. Here is a video of Russia's soldiers giggling while filming the result of their actions. Was the West's reaction? Zero. Even worse: some tried to blame Ukraine. /3

THREAD Some thoughts on Ukraine-US tension amid Ukraine's Russia strikes:
1) US administration's first interest is to preserve Russia from defeat and collapse, not to ensure Ukraine's victory
2) Ukraine's interest to win is much stronger then the US Interest to keep status quo /1
3) Ukraine will continue striking Russia, as Ukraine has a lot to win and everything to lose if Ukraine stops, while the US has not that much either win or lose;
3.1) That is why the US will continue criticise Ukraine, but will have to accept Ukraine's strikes vs. Russia; /2
4) Important is, that Ukraine seems to have understood: in a case they follow terrible advice from Biden's incapable administration, there will be no reward for that (but a lot of harm from Russia), and if they do not, and continue striking RU, there will be no bad consequence /3

Ok, what makes the whole "ISIS attack" story different? The Russian reaction.
1) After the US warning on terrorist attacks, Putin openly called it "blackmailing" and accused the West and Ukraine of preparation of the attacks.
2) Now, Moscow pushes Ukraine version at all cost. /1

Five days after Putins "election" and two days after he announced mobilisation, Putin desperately needs not only an event for Russia's consolidation. He needs an event which sparks sympathy to his nation in the West. And he got it. Even the most critical voices hug him now /2Image
Image
So why should Putin stopped the attack (if he was not directly behind it)? It was in his interest. Nobody talk about his missile terror anymore. Look at the Head of the Greens in Germany (who is actually a very good guy). He was not triggered by Odesa, but is triggered by Moscow.

Ok, one sees what you knows. I know Russian FSB false flags. Björn knows ISIS.
My arguments: 1) Russia has a long history of false flag attacks; 2) 5 days after elections when Putin needs consolidation amid mobilisation; 3) Medvedev's threats today; 4) Peskov's statement today /1
Besides: Putin publicly addressed the warnings by the Western embassies and called them "a pressure attempt". So they checked the warnings (we do not know what exactly the US intercepted) and preferred to ignore them. Even it was not Moscow, Moscow decided to let it happen.
And again: Ukraine's GUR says it was Russians. In cases of Moscow-related events (and following threats by Medvedev to execute the family of Zelensky) I prefer to believe Ukraine's GUR if I do not have strong reasons not to believe it (and I do not have them).

Russia deliberately hit a water reservoir dam in Zaporizhzhya, holding 3,3 billion tons of water. In tonight's attack, the second in the row, 37 missiles and 55 drones hit Ukraine. Some bulletpoints:
1) These two attacks demonstrate that Putin feels encouraged by the West. /1Image
Image
Image
Image
2) Putin announced mass strikes on Ukraine three days ago. Of course, he did't come to this decision after Ukraine's attacks on Belgorod (as he claimed) - for such attacks one needs weeks of planning. The truth is different: Putin waited for his marionettes in the West to act. /2
2.1.) Putin's spokespersons in Germany within Scholz's social-democratic pro-Russian circles call for "freezing the conflict" since weeks, attacking everyone who stays on the side of Ukraine and the West. Putin attacks Ukraine to strengthen positions of Scholz and Mützenich. /3
