A condensate of how @TSNUA and did *not* do its homework prior to promoting the lies of the so-called Georgian Legion's so-called "commander", Mamuka Mamulashvili.
As per the statements by @DI_Ukraine and @DefenceU, he is actually a civilian and there is no such unit the AFU. 🧵

Source 1. Since this was published, Mamuka and the GL trolls army have repeatedly alleged that Hromadske and/or the article's authors work for russian propaganda and made up the comments from GUR and Ground Forces. Except... 👇

Таку заяву ГУР @DI_Ukraine про так званий Грузинський легіон оприлюднили на сайті та в соцмережах. Це не важко відтворити, не спотворюючи значення... правда, Anakin? 🚬
Давайте подивимося, як справи у пресі. 🧵 #1 @pravda_eng ❌

Highly recommended read for anyone who is still wondering whether McFaul's infamous tweet was right. (mini 🧵 but I recommend you read the PDF yourself!)

The next @POTUS has work cut out for her. Maybe now is the time to start working on correcting this shame, by tightening export controls AND supplying a meaningful number of 🇺🇸 F-16s.

Remember how sad #NAFOfellas were when @edwardmurrow666 left Twitter? The @georgian_legion "head adjutant" who escorted @apmassaro3 into Ukraine, worked with him and @AdamKinzinger to request aid to GL from the @DeptofDefense?
Remember when he was exposed as a complete fraud? 🌚

In case you don't, and I can't blame you with how quickly everyone swept it under the rug, here's a catch-up. This thread posted by @HunterofGrift a few months after "Ed" vanished (deleted, but saved by yours truly 🤓) sums up the character quite well.
Why was this kept silent?

🧵 A "free speech platform"... for @elonmusk's favorite people: 🇷🇺🇨🇳🇮🇷🇰🇵-loving 5th columnists.
For the rest, particularly 🇺🇦 and supporters:
- 🤖 spam, scam, manipulation
- insane de-boosting
- arbitrary suspensions
- ineffective hate reports
- targeted divisive content

The main reason why @Twitter grew into the giant it was (until shamelessly sold to @elonmusk) is that it filled an important gap in public discourse. No other platform allowed small individual voices to have such a measurable effect, from culture to key state policy.

@cryptodrftng That one is also "extremely concerning" @cryptodrftng Casually advertising Joe Rogan as well.

Yesterday at the Free russia Forum, everyone's eyes were on Arestovych who showered goodrussians with compliments, calling them heroes and Ukrainians "другий россияне" (other russians).
However, few paid attention to the man sitting next to him, smiling at his every word. 🧵

That would be Ilya Ponomarev, an ex russian MP. Poroshenko, by decree, granted him Ukrainian citizenship in 2019 despite his awful positions about Crimea, Maidan and Ukrainian identity. See what he wrote in 2014 on his LiveJournal.

⚠️ Still necessary reminder, apparently: every time someone retweets Anton Gerashchenko, a puppy dies somewhere. 🐶🔫
How about listening to what Ukrainians have been saying about him for years? (mini-🧵) 1/ He contributed to the harassment and eventual arrest of activist Roman Ratushnyi, and still tried to score points when he died at the front.

I took a dive through @INechepurenko's likes, the rabbit hole goes even deeper amd ticks all the boxes. 🧵

Popular pro-Ukraine accounts going into spaces held by paid russian assets to "debate" them on their terms are part of the problem. All this achieves is to amplify them, validate their methods and expose allies to their sophisticated manipulation. 🤦‍♂️ Themes heard in about half an hour listening: freezing the "conflict", questioning aid to Ukraine, WW3, proxy war and of course nuuuuuuuukes. 🫠
