Grateful for the opportunity to speak about a year of war in #Ukraine, #Leopard tanks to #Wagner Nazi origin to #Zelensky's presidency.

articles that I quote in🧵 Still feel this way. When people ask me about #Russia. I drew it in 2014, I think, and at that time nobody got it. Now pretty much everyone does but it is too late.

Massive air raid all over #Ukraine + No power, heat, only mobile internet 2nd day in #Odesa, most areas.
My gadgets are about to die. You can’t go into a store (air raid.) Explosions reported in Odesa Oblast, #Kyiv, #Lviv and other cities. World, still sending thoughts & prayers?

⏳ Time to RT my #Trump #Russia #TrumpPutin research. As #Prigozhin just confirmed #Kremlin interference into the #USA #elections, sharing his profile, too. 🧵 #MidtermElections2022 #Midterms2022 How does the mafia empire work and who is #Prigozhin (a convicted criminal and a bandit from my birth town, just as many other bandits, including #Putin).

☢️ #Putin did not just speak of #DirtyBomb now. From day one, seizing #Chornobyl, and March 3, seizing #Zaporizhzia #nuclear #PowerPlant, the #Kremlin keeps threatening. Usually, they follow up on what they say. 🧵⬇️ #NuclearWar (1/?) "on 6 March, RIA Novosti quoted a representative of the Russian Federation who declared: 'Kyiv used the Chornobyl nuclear power plant zone for work on the manufacture of a ‘dirty’ bomb and the separation of plutonium.' bylinetimes.com/2022/03/28/cho…

⚠️☢️ Power unit No. 6 of the #Zaporizhzhia #NPP disconnected from the power grid on 9/11, 2022, at 3.41 am. The station is completely stopped.- #Energoatom NAEC. Preparations are underway for its cooling and transfer to the "cold stop" state. #ZNPP 1/4 Shutting down the power unit was possible after restoring one of the power lines for #ZNPP's own needs. The line connects the station to the Ukraine's energy system. Authorities emphasize the need to stop shelling the power grids connecting the ZNPP to the power system. 2/4

@nytimes has been amplifying the Kremlin narratives for a while. Last time: "Russian bombing of Odesa port is technically not a violation of the Istambul agreement, an unnamed source from the US said"!) And now the Kyiv bureau chief comes from... Moscow?! informnapalm.org/en/kramer/ bywire.news/articles/kreml…

#Odesa #Opera opened tonight for the first time since the Russian full-scale invasion on 24 February. It was the most moving performance I have ever been to. Got lucky, no air raid. #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦 Verdi, Puccini, Bizet, Ukrainian opera. I will write about the Gala concert for the Ukrainian Army and the theater with bombshells but really want to share a few snippets now.
