"The first inside account of the Russian invasion of Ukraine." Dude, not your place, especially with your track record.

I'm so tired of you goddamn grifters.

I am seriously at my fucking limit. Are you kidding me? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? COMPARING THE DUDE WHO WAS PARTICIPATING IN [ETHNIC] RUSSIAN MARCHES TO THE PERSON WHO FOUGHT APARTHEID??? ARE YOU INSANE Image I get why such ridiculous comparisons are made. Because people completely misunderstand the structure of oppression in Russia and how ethnic Russians have historically been a dominant group. Navalny is imprisoned due to a power struggle *within the dominant group.*

I honestly hate to see Russians winning prestigious prizes, grants, giving talks, writing books, all this BS, while so many bright Ukrainians are risking and sacrificing their lives fighting RU aggression

All these awarding bodies and research institutions are so full of shit. None of them are innovative anymore. None of them are challenging the existing status quo.

This is the thread with the examples of Russians cheering on the deaths of Ukrainians. Mind you, RU started dehumanising us long before 2022 or even 2014, but that's a separate topic.
In no particular order, let's begin

RU attack on Vinnytsia, Jul 14 2022
Some more comments on the Vinnytsia attack. On that day, Russia killed 28 people and injured at least 200:

Wall painting, although differing in style across Ukraine, was a traditional way to decorate houses in most regions; here are some photos of such traditional UA wall paintings collected in Dnipropetrovsk oblast in the 1920s. Source:[] libr.dp.ua/fullkr/index.p…
Image Traditionally, the paint for the walls consisted of clays of various shades mixed with natural dyes and pigments from berries, fruits, herbs or soot. With the discovery of aniline dyes, they were brought into use, too, although not everyone could afford those at the time.

In 2022, I had an opportunity to prepare a series of interviews with UA chemists for @ChemistryWorld and a follow-up later. Now, I’ll refer to those (and some more) articles to illustrate how one can support UA science. This applies not only to chemists
1/
 chemistryworld.com/opinion/living… Most of the suggestions are relevant to any field. Also, please consider sharing this thread because I feel like it is something often overlooked, all while scientific development is absolutely crucial, including for improving our defence capabilities in the future

Russians attack Ukraine because they don't want Ukraine to exist. Not only that, they want everyone to submit to their terror. They want to intimidate the world to let it destroy Ukraine. Do you want to live in the world like that? Is this the world you want to leave to your kids Do you want your kids and grandkids to live in a world where the most brutal one wins? Do you want them to shut up and do whatever the guy with the gun will tell them, even if it humiliates them to the point they lose all their dignity? Do you want them to be crushed?

It's about time to introduce the term "Moscow correspondent bias".
No matter how much these people appear to be impartial and how long ago they left Moscow, their reporting is constantly leaning towards downplaying Russian war crimes. Let's *assume* that this distorted reporting isn't intentional; then it's likely a result of a set of cognitive biases, such as the halo effect RU created by promoting the myth of great RU culture and impressing the Moscow visitors with lavish treatment

At one protest I talked to a Georgian girl, who was in 🇬🇪 in 2008 when Russia invaded, she and her family managed to evacuate. What I found striking when she told her story was this cold solidified spite in her eyes and the way she speaks about Russia. I felt it. When you've seen so much injustice. When nobody ever even attempted to apologise. When the perpetrator doesn't feel any remorse. When you are tired to be angry because being so angry just makes you physically sick, all you have left is spite. You have no idea how much we despise Russia.

The question many Ukrainians ask themselves ever so often since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion is how different our lives would be if Russians didn't ruin the lives of each and every Ukrainian generation for at least the past 100 years. We don't inherit much because Russia ruins or takes away whatever our ancestors managed to build; we struggle to trace our heritage because Russia burns archives. Honestly, provided all the conditions, Ukraine is doing pretty well.

By supporting the Ukrainian army you also support humanitarian efforts. Not only coz UA soldiers tackle the root cause of the humanitarian crisis: RU invasion. They often provide humanitarian help itself in the areas where many others are afraid to go Any organisations that insist they exclusively support humanitarian efforts are missing the point. Our army IS a humanitarian effort. They will go to the places where the Red Cross and other "impartial" organisations won't.
We appreciate all help; at the same time,

Russians joined Dzharlyhach island, a territory of the natural reserve in the occupied part of Kherson Oblast, to the mainland and are using the territory for military training
Around 20 UA nature parks and reserves are/were under RU occupation. Many suffered huge damage⬇️ ImageImageImage Kamianska Sich is a steppe national park and archaeological site in the now liberated part of Kherson Oblast. You can see the aftermath of the 9 months of RU occupation in the bottom right pic. Taken from NP FB page [facebook.com/NPPKamyanskaSi…]. The de-mining is still not finished. ImageImageImage

Here are the photos of Crimean Tatars in Crimea in 1943. A year later, they will be deported. Many of these people probably didn't survive. ImageImageImageImage 90s: the exiled and their kids return to Crimea. The banner behind the family in the photo reads, "May the violence committed against the Crimean Tatars on May 18, 1944, never repeat against any other people."
Don't even know how to express the kind of sad it makes me feel Image

We used to have RU relatives. Not anymore, as they didn't bother to check on us since 2022. But I'd like to tell you one last story about them.
In a way, it's reminiscent of relationships between our countries

When I was a kid, they almost never visited my gran in Donetsk Oblast Meanwhile I was spending most of my summer holidays there, and I always felt bad seeing how my gran daily checks her letterbox hoping to see the letter from them.
But all she got was an occasional short telegram a couple of times a year

One day, I decided to cheer my grandma up:

I think people already understand there won’t be a popular uprising in Russia to stop its unjust war. The majority either support it or don’t care. And the depressingly small minority opposing the war just isn’t enough. So, what would awaken Russian society? One word: humiliation And before anybody squeamish jumps in here to accuse me of being a bad person, I’m actually not talking about anything that’d offend human dignity. In fact, I think humiliation is the only chance for Russian society to gain some dignity.

I'm so done with @UN, honestly. Just look at this useless profile. Wow, The Knotted Gun, wow, that's deep. "For peace, dignity&equality on a healthy planet." Wow, big brain energy. You literally just fixed all problems with those shit platitude, thank you so much Image No shit Image

The situation with agribusiness in the South of UA is bleak, to put it mildly. The fields are still contaminated with explosive objects, RU destroyed farms and equipment, no seed reserves are left. Big and small producers are equally affected. Also, RU stole loads of UA grain Your daily reminder that Russia = waste

As a kid, I asked my parents to enrol me in all sorts of schools, including Sunday school at this "Ukrainian" church (yes, we had exams on catechism and liturgics, and I got a diploma). And I can tell you, there's nothing Ukrainian about this church except its location🧵 One of the priests in the Dnipro church we attended openly said in the sermon that the Ukrainian language should never be used for liturgy, and if it ever happens, well, that's the sign of the end times. There were constant talks about how salvation only can be found in Russia

February 15, is the birthday of Dzhokhar Dudayev. The person who knew exactly what Russia is capable of.
Every time I watch this interview, I feel this dull pain in the middle of my chest, the sinking heart, if you will. It gets me overwhelmed with how unfair the world is. It will remain so if we do nothing.

Before 2014, I had some RU friends and acquaintances. Most of them turned out rubbish; a small minority were alright, condemning the RU aggression and stuff. But one day, maybe ~5 years into the RU invasion, I realised I wanna stay away from all of them regardless of their views In all fairness, I didn't keep in touch much with the alright RU after 2014, and the rare contacts were getting ever so rare, but we still had each other on social media. So, the time passes, and I bump into this photo of my old alright RU friend where they are in the garden

Seeing people praise RU opposition and downplay the concerns of the victims of RU imperialism is alarming. Often RU opposition criticism of the govt highlights not its deeds, but 'corruption' or 'lack of gratitude' to people who served the regime. Please read the thread attached Reading such accounts makes me so angry at the lack of accountability. It makes me imagine how, if such an approach towards RU continues, 30 years from now, RU will have a new dictator that'll grow out of some "promising energetic new RU political figure"
