Putin's appeasers promise that Russia will stop as soon as Ukraine surrenders cities like Kherson and Zaporizhzia and disarms itself. One may wonder why Russia's Ministry of Internal Affairs would introduce a new license plate area code – 188 RUS – for the entire Kharkiv region.

Short 🧵1/5 A couple of days ago Aleksei Navalny died in a prison inside the Arctic Circle known as "Polar Wolf". It's in a small settlement called Kharp in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Region, where I worked for nearly 4 years, running a gold mining and exploration company.

2/5 In fact, our maintenance garage for machinery was right next to the prison where Navalny was held, and we even used to employ inmates from Polar Wolf, and its sister camp, Polar Owl (for lifers, mainly murderers) on 3-week stints in the garage.

3/5 They were often more enthusiastic workers than our own, as being out of the prison gave them the opportunity for something that felt almost like freedom. Having spent time in Kharp and seen the prison from outside, I can only imagine how horrendous being an inmate might be.

4/5 One indication of conditions is that in order to work in the region, I had to take regular tuberculosis scans, as released inmates often infect the local population. Navalny's death, whatever you might think of his politics, is just a small demonstration of much larger and...

5/5 sadder issues within Russian politics and society, and his death is a tragedy heaped on top of many others, that makes hope for Russia's future harder than ever. May he rest in peace, and his supporters continue to fight for a free and just Russia for future generations.

Some people say NATO is no longer necessary while the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia stands in front of a huge map of the planned imperial conquest of Eastern Europe 🤷🏼‍♂️

Here's my question for tonight: If Russia is winning so unstoppably and brilliantly now (still fighting for ruined small towns in Ukraine's east in the third year of its 10-day blitzkrieg) and entire Ukraine is so hopelessly doomed, why are literally all Russian shills ripping

A Permanent Member of the United Nations Security Council just bombed a children’s’ hospital in Kyiv. If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. History will remember.

If you can, please donate to the charity affiliated with the hospital, so that it could be rebuilt as soon as possible and Ukrainian kids from all over the country could have access to treatment which saves their lives ohmatdytfund.org/en/donate

Twin horrors: 1) Russia bombing a major children's hospital as part of its daily terror and murder campaign against Ukraine. 2) The free world having the power to stop it and refusing to.

This is probably the best explanation for why every Russian is guilty of Russia’s crimes, even if they simply don’t care.
