1: “Putin go & takes Crimea, the heart & soul, where all the money is. I was surprised. Most of the wealth is there. That means the rest of Ukraine will fall, predictably fairly quickly. without the money, it’ll fall.- Trump March 2014

11 years, 267 days later, Ukraine still
Stands. Trump was wrong the. And he is wrong now. 2: I’m working on a bigger project but found this clip in the archive and felt it would be a great reminder now after hearing him get speak of Crimea, the current situation and Ukrainian territory, with talking points so colored by russian propaganda that it’s simply ridiculous.

1: russia’s kidnapping of Ukrainian children is systematic, deliberate, genocidal.

Nearly 700 Ukrainian children killed, over 2000 injured, 19546 deported, 2245 missing, over 1million held under russian control with no legal pathway home.
The world needs to understand this 🧵👇🏼 2: UN held a special hearing on this war crime.
The revelations are not new, there need to be consequences;

➡️ russia must return every abducted Ukrainian child — immediately & unconditionally.

Because stealing children is not “evacuation.” It is not “care.” It is genocide.

1: The “Peace plan” was never about peace, it’s about greed.

U.S billionaires Witkoff & Kushner, met with Putins lapdog Kirill Dmitriev in Miami to create a business plan on how to become wealthier together & Make America russias Partner in Crime.

👇🏼

wsj.com/world/russia/r… 2: Not about peace. Not about justice, accountability, or security.

It was about making U.S billionaires & russian blood money “friends with benefits”.

Not for the sake of “peace”
Not for Ukraine.
Not for Europe.
Not for America.

For the bank accounts of the 0.00034%

1: Let’s talk about Steve Witkoff, because I think the narrative of him being a “useful idiot” is a dangerous trap to walk in.

It’s darker than that.

Witkoff has spent three decades swimming in russian money, russian mob circles, and russian real-estate pipeline.

A thread 🧵 2: He isn’t just “a MAGA dude” advising Trump on Russia–Ukraine.
Witkoff is of russian descent, built his fortune through NYC networks flooded with post-Soviet criminal money, and is now pushing the kremlin wishlist so called “peace plan”
It’s not a coincidence.
It’s continuity.

🕯️1: As russia again spread darkness across Ukraine, candles in windows carry two meanings.
Today, present meets past.
Today a candle in remembrance for victims of another genocide by russia.

Holodomor, a manmade famine that from 1932-33 killed 25000 Ukrainians every single day. 2: The Holodomor (1932-1933) is one of the largest genocides in history. It began when Stalin forced Ukraine into collectivization. Ukrainian farmers were forced to give up their land, livestock & harvest.

Stalin’s response?
“Starve them to submission”

An orchestrated famine.

🧵1: How many reports of russias war crimes does it take before the world acts?

A new UN report, confirming what Ukrainians have been saying for YEARS:

russia is committing crimes against humanity in Ukraine by systematically murdering, torturing, and deporting civilians!
👇🏼📄 2: The report by the UN Human Rights Council’s Commission of Inquiry highlights especially two categories of war crimes, which it is well documented that russia is committing in Ukraine:

1️⃣Forcible mass deliberations & transfer of population

2️⃣Torture & murder of civilians

🚨1: The stats of 4 EU countries having paid more to russia for gas than on aid to Ukraine is sickening.

From 2022 - mid-2025 France, Spain, Belgium & the Netherlands h
paid €34.3 billion to russia.

That’s €13 billion MORE than they’ve spent on aid to Ukraine!

A thread🧵👇🏼 2: If it’s one thing the US has been very rightfully addressing, it’s the embarrassment of EU countries STILL massively buying oil & gas from russia, which literally goes to funding the war machine killing Ukrainians.

And the U.S is absolutely right:
It has to stop!

🇵🇱 “Ukraine is not a project. Ukraine is a country with a longer history than russia. Ukraine is a member of this body for far longer than the rF. Ukraine has a history, language, identity & aspirations all of its own, with borders confirmed several times in treaties by the rF”👏🏼 Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs Radosław Sikorski keeps beautifully serving facts at the UN conference:

“You just heard another performance by the russian ambassador consisting of lies, propaganda & hypocrisy. He referred to Ukraine as a project. Ukraine is not a project.”

🧵1: Google updated maps of Mariupol, the images are horrifying.

For over 3 years russian occupiers have closed off the city. war crimes covered up, evidence erased.

In the outskirts; terrifying amounts of rapidly growing unmarked mass graves!

A 🧵👇🏼


2: I “walked” through street by street on the maps. Village by village. It’s disastrous, I wish the whole world see this as it gives you a visual of the insane amount of destruction russia has brought to Ukraine.

Entirely villages, cities leveled and burned to the ground

🧵“Zelenskyy is responsible for all the successes and failures of Ukraine. Full stop.”

I got time today! Let’s break this. dangerously sketchy comment down.

A textbook example of propaganda that blends surface-level truth with deep disinfo, wrapped in a “pro-Ukraine” disguise.
2: This comment comes from someone who has spent weeks claiming to support Ukraine, while consistently echoing Kremlin-aligned and MAGA talking points like:
▪️Calling Zelenskyy a dictator
▪️Saying Ukrainian leadership is to blame for the war
▪️Pushing narratives of incompetence

1/24 May 18th is Remembrance Day of what is said in history to be one of the least know, yet most traumatic genocides of the 20th century.

The mass deportation of the Crimean Tatars: The Sürgünlik.

A history it’s more important than ever for people to know about & share.

🧵 2/24
In the early hours of May 18, 1944, on Stalin’s orders, the entire Crimean Tatar population, at the time over 200 000 people, was deported by the red army.

Families were given just 15 minutes to pack. They were ripped from their homes and forced into exile.

1: 🧵 BIG NEWS! Ukraine’s legendary Azov Brigade now has an International Battalion!

Volunteers from the US, UK, Germany, Norway, and beyond are joining and now fighting shoulder to shoulder in Ukraine’s most elite fighting force.

Everything you should know & how to support 👇🏼 2: If some still don’t know; Who is Azov?

• The 12th Special Forces Brigade Azov is one of the most elite fighting units in Ukraine.

• They’ve been battling Russia since 2014.

• They held Mariupol against all odds.

And now they’re opening their ranks to internationals.

Starvation. Electro shocks. Sexual abuse. Torture. Death

What happens to Ukrainians under russian control.

It’s not isolated cases, it’s systematic & institutionalized abuse.

This is who russia is. Until we all see it & put an end to it, they will continue.

A 🧵 collection.


🔺russian evil truly has no limit, Ukrainian children have been kidnapped and tells horrific tales of the same type of torment and abuse as the adult prisoners of war. old or young, life under russian captivity is hell, Russia makes sure of that.

💔1: Impossible to read the news about Victoriia Roshchyna without feeling tremendous pain & anger. Her body returned from russian captivity in such horrific condition, damaged from starvation & torture, that several DNA tests had to be performed to confirm her identity. 2: Originally little was known about russias illegal imprisonment of Roshchyna, she went missing summer 2023, russia shared zero information about her abduction for 9 months. Investigations have found that she was initially detained in occupied Enerhodar. ineukraine.com/2024/10/14/vic…

🧵1: The Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people has issued a powerful statement—and it deserves the world’s attention.

They categorically reject any attempt to recognize Russian control over Crimea.

Because Crimea is Ukraine. 2. Let’s be clear:
Any recognition of russian occupation in Crimea is not just wrong, it’s a violation of international law, of Ukraine’s sovereignty and of the rights of the indigenous Crimean Tatar people.

🧵1: “Ukraine didn’t fight for Crimea”A narrative only spread by someone who got zero knowledge about what happened in 2014 during russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea, or someone with russian talking point.

Ukrainians resisted in 2014 & keep fighting for all their land today!


2: First, lets start with the fact that russias invasion & occupation of Crimea in 2014 wasn’t an overnight coup, without planning, russia had already tried to occupy Crimea many times before and infiltrated the peninsula with pro-russian assets long before 2014.

This video of four little children being evacuaded from the Red Zone in Kherson, broke me!

I wrote an article about it, but most importantly is that others see this video. Of the reality many are now numb or blind to.

So I’ll post short🧵& link the full story in the last post I want us to realize, that when we & our representatives do things that hurts the way Ukrainians are defending their nation & people, we take away the only protection these children have. And they deserve better. They deserve our help.

🧵1: It’s peculiar, isn’t it, looking at the big picture.

Very timely to try to turn Ukraine into the bad guys now & scream “let’s pull out of NATO”

Because the majority of American military aid to Ukraine IS STILL JUST A PAPER PROMISE tied in contracts & production IN THE U.S

2: Of course Elon the greedy works overtime now, the American market is already pumped with aid money BECAUSE ITS PAID TO AMERICAN COMPANIES.

Convincing their base now that “Ukraine & NATO is Bad” is their hallpass to not deliver. Like a; not so subtle way of war profiteering.

1/15 Okay, please read through this tiny little thread going through the timeline of historic events of russian violations of Ukraine and then please help me answer the question in the last tweet.

I’ll be quick, I promise 👇🏼🧵


2/15:
💥First Russian Encroachments 17th Century:
• In the mid-1600s, the Tsardom of russia interfered in Ukrainian affairs, exploiting (as they always do) the Cossack uprising against Poland (Khmelnytsky Uprising, 1648).

1/20 Amongst the many types of russian terror in Ukraine, there is one in particular that’s both extremely dangerous & that will be a threat for many years to come.

russia has made Ukraine the most heavily mined country in the world.

Let’s deep dive into these grim details 🧵


2/20: Approximately 23% of Ukrainian land, meaning 174000 square kilometers, has now been contaminated by landmines and unexploded ordnance, something russia has been known to spread across many countries they trample on, including Syria and Libya.

💙💛David Lynch has for years demonstrated consistent support for Ukraine through various initiatives, mostly with his foundation that works for mental rehabilitation of both soldiers & civilians.

Let’s do a quick summary 🧵

https://twitter.com/inebackiversen/status/1879973688990396877

In 2009 Lynch visited Ukraine to promote Transcendental Meditation (TM). During this visit, he planted trees as a symbol of growth and peace.
