That "spy dossier" supposedly from Ukraine that Mriya Aid used to attack a journalist, David Pugliese, who called them out early? It never existed.

MA faked "evidence" he was a russian agent, and went after other critics with threats of SA+violence.

Sound familiar?!? 🇺🇦🧵👇Image
Disclaimer: years of sifting through this, and you'll find selfish actors, suspicious ones, and genuine supporters of Ukraine caught in the middle.

I admire Canada, and volunteers who've proven true allies of Ukraine despite this chaos. Let those who caused this own it.
"After [David's] damning article, Mriya+bots spread rumors that he was a ru/Soviet spy.

The jist: 'Don't read that report about deliveries of Chinese knock-off night-vision goggles instead of ones they fundraised for - the author's a ru spy!'"
"David was threatened with death" - others too.

There's a certain sort of Western grift that influences circles of "support" into mobbing 🇺🇦s who call out shadiness.

OKhudetska's journalism, activism, and tacmed training are widely respected in 🇺🇦. This was a disgrace.Image

"Ukrainian archives, indicated as the source of the documents, have stated that they don't have such documents.

The “photocopies” have been examined by experts in typography, graphology, etc., and found to be forgeries."
Image
"The lawsuit filed by Mriya against the journalist - or rather not Mriya - but 'a businessman who supported a charitable foundation,' also contains this fake spy dossier (an incredible coincidence)."
Image
"He was quickly added to the Myrotvorets database, and articles about his 'exposure' appeared on @ukrpravda_news

I hope they will be quick to write a retraction as well.

A report on the phony dossier is posted here."
Image
@ukrpravda_news An archive.org link to the above article is here:
web.archive.org/web/2025100312…
@ukrpravda_news She links, as well, to this academia.edu article:

academia.edu/143077842/Repo… Image
@ukrpravda_news @OKhudetska continues:

"I think that the connection between the plaintiff from Mriya and the former minister who waved the dossier from the parliamentary rostrum will be very easy to find, and most likely it will be monetary🤭" Image
She continues: "I hate to do this, but @ServiceSsu, please note that these crooks have infiltrated the Ministry of Defense and drone production in Ukraine."

Ed.: This is why you don't just dismiss such operations as "drama"!Image
Yes, pundits who chased Twitter clout rather than verified Ukrainian sources faceplant when the archives cited as sources say, "We have no such documents, actually".

But in whose attention span does hard proof revise the damage that rumors did?? This is a recurring problem.Image
Because this playbook gets repeated, I repeat:

Nobody is more serious about saving Ukrainian lives than Ukrainians. Voices and orgs in Ukraine that hold widespread respect have earned it.

When Western grifters can't match them, they slander them. russia exploits that.

What do you call it when someone, to this day, actively spreads lies A, B, and C, and each of those lies would call BS on the other ones if true? Image
Image
Image
Image
I must admit, I have a lot of incredulous moments of "How can you actually think that?", and, "Why did you think that was proof?"

It's funny being accused of being an AI for almost four years now, by the same crew that has GrantGPT writing for them.

But wait, there's more. Image
As someone who touched-typed at 80+ WPM before some of these bozos passed a pregancy test: why be mad that literacy existed before AI or the internet?

I asked Grok about this post I just typed. Buckle up, I'm going to show you how "AI" 🤬s up! 😂👇

About Georgian Legion's calling Mamuka a unit commander, and changing stories about the chain of command:

👉 Did HUR stutter? When GL was claiming to be under HUR's command, HUR denied they exist and said Mamuka hadn't been contracted since April 2023.

But there's more! 🇺🇦🧵👇 Image
Image
Image
Image
Take note what defenders had to say about Mamuka's behavior before his contract ended in April 2023.

I'll translate this step-by-step as well. You're going to see a lot of bitter sarcasm. Verify it yourself if you need to. Thread's tail is at:
Image
"Guys, is there really a unit called the Georgian Legion? Did that Mamuka guy ever actually fight anywhere? What the hell is this—millions of dollars from Westerners going to some cunning jerk again?"

Tearing down the "divine right of kings" - a team effort!

While French thinkers were 🤯 over free 🌎 indigenous societies, they also talked with Cossacks who had elected leaders - in 1648. Ukraine's Orlyk devised a constitution with separation of powers in 1710. Fascinating 🧵👇
This means that the US Constitution came from a rebellion against "divine right" and monarchic power, and Ukraine's Orlyk was absolutely part of this conversation.

Through Montesquieu, Ukraine was no further than one degree of separation from the US's founding inspirations.
There's an overlap between Ukrainians and the First Nations of the Americas:

They're deep-rooted and indigenous.
They had societies founded on freedom, persuasion, and responsibility to the whole.
Their attitudes towards kings blew Europe's minds.

I've seen some stupid lies before, but damn.

You can never keep too many receipts with GL. They change their stories completely, and their cult doesn't notice or doesn't care.

Reality on the ground for the locals?
(video link below) Image
The video in question. You can clearly see there's a huge logo visible from the street. See, I found this video memorable because GL was falsely claiming authority to arrest its critics in Ukraine.
Units can't arrest critics under Ukrainian martial law, much less an NGO.

A unit, GL is not. HUR made that clear.

Pay attention to dates. GL doesn't get to retcon times they claimed to be in Budanov's chain of command during the very timeframe HUR said Mamuka had no contract. Image

Again? Again.

Same cluster, same behavior. They attack legit orgs and volunteers to keep their LARP $ going.

They threaten critics with death/SA, then impersonate them (the three yyy account was fake) to sow chaos.

There's no bottom.

I've seen their behavior since 2022, when they attacked @UK4UA's efforts which saved a defender's leg. "NurseAnna" lied about her involvement, patient consent, deleted/rebooted her threads with moved goalposts.

BBC/Suspilne sank that ship. Grudges much?
@Uk4Ua I. See. You. Image

New initiative from @BackAndAlive just dropped!

"If you still don't know how 'Let's ground the enemy' works - it's okay! The dog's down to explain it to you.

This project is a shield for those who hold the sky. It's air defense, for air defense. The dog can confirm."
@BackAndAlive @BackAndAlive is cool like this. Their thinking is big-picture and end to end, because they were founded by Ukraine's veterans and have been at this for 11 years.

Just look at the success they've had with "Dronefall"...
@BackAndAlive For the equivalent of $6 million USD, they've shot down 1,546 russian drones. That's 676 Zalas, 511 Supercams, 182 Orlans, 177 others (you saw that Lancet some weeks ago, right??)

That's less than $4K per drone on average! Image
