The fall season in Kherson. Leaves hang suspended on nets stretched across the roads to protect against Russian drones. The streets are nearly deserted. The sounds of counter-battery fire between the left and right banks echo constantly.

Budapest? Not everyone may remember this, but in 1994 Ukraine already got assurances of territorial integrity from the US, Russia and the UK. In Budapest. Maybe I’m superstitious, but this time I would try to find another place.

WHY HAVE I HAD TO REPEAT THIS IN EVERY. SINGLE. MEDIA. INTERVIEW. TODAY.
Note to world media: Just because something is said by the President of the United States it doesn't mean it's relevant, true, sane or even worth reporting about.
Second note: Critical thinking is a good thing.

40-year-old #Ukrainian veteran Mykola Shot lost all of his limbs in a mortar attack in Chasiv Yar, Donetsk region. At the UNBROKEN center, he not only mastered the use of prosthetics but also learned to feed himself, take care of his own daily needs, and even drive an adapted car.

Today is the anniversary of the downing of passenger jet MH17 by Russian forces in the occupied Donetsk Oblast of Ukraine. All 298 people on board were killed, and the Russian Federation managed to kill something else that day as well: its last chance for any credibility🧵

Brilliant and more timely than ever.
Folks ,worth reading again! Sarah Kendzior wrote this in Nov 2016! A stark warning of what was to come. What especially resonated was her suggestion, I summarize, to write down your values, your life story, things you would NOT do when asked by an authoritarian regime.

As a thoroughly russified Qazaq kid growing up in the 1980s Almaty, I had deeply internalized the Russo-centric view of Qazaq-speaking Qazaqs as being rural and backwards. Embarrassingly, for many years, I failed to understand what now seems so painfully obvious. 1/10

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce the main themes of Russian disinformation on TikTok. Each day, there are thousands of new videos promoting pro-Kremlin narratives and propaganda.
It’s worth noting that Russians can only access European TikTok via VPN.
