For all the Kremlin fans who are oh-so-sure the SMO is only about helping poor old #Donbas:

Russian general Andrei Mordvichev says Ukraine is only the beginning:

#Finland detains #Russia citizen at request of #Ukraine

Jan Petrovsky commanded far-right paramilitary #Rusich group fighting in #Donbas in east Ukraine in 2015 --- Suspected of participating in acts of terrorism

Also reportedly fought as volunteer for #Assad regime in #Syria

There is a reason why Ukrainians insist the world refers to russia’s assault against Ukraine in 2022 as a “full-scale” invasion.

russia’s war against #Ukraine did not begin on Feb. 24, 2022, but in 2014, with both the annexation of #Crimea and the invasion of Ukraine’s eastern #Donbas region.

While the kremlin openly boasted of its annexation of the Crimean peninsula, it tried to conceal its involvement in the war in Donbas for years

"It hurts me very much... When people read articles, they look at pictures. They will consciously remember them. If there is no #Crimea, #Donbas, or half of #Ukraine in their minds, what will it be for them? A part of #Russia or a disputed territory?"

To focus attention on this problem, Mykola Golubei launched the #Mapaganda project.

Here, you can report maps that inappropriately lay out Ukraine's borders and send a photo to prove it.

Ukraine moves Christmas date to 25 December in snub to Russia

- Moscow's patriarchy gave its blessing to Putin’s invasion and claimed that Russian soldiers will be cleansed of sin.

- The date change is part of a national process of dismantling the symbols of Russia, the Soviet Union and communism.

Rysslands krig i Ukraina
Kriget i Ukraina har kastat ett skarpt ljus över den radikala vänstern i Europa och visat såväl dess bästa som dess sämsta sidor. Å ena sidan, en internationalistisk reaktion av solidaritet med Ukrai

Wow, this is big: Igor #Strelkov / #Girkin detained and charged with extremism in Russia
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-66265892
He has a lot to answer for in how the #Ukraine war started in 2014 - a former officer (likely of #GRU background) occupied #Sloviansk in the #Donbas with a couple of dozen men and started the armed conflict, with #Russia 's covert then overt support
And mainly he was behind the shooting down of #MH17 - convicted by a Durch court

Militia units commanded by russia named in #Izium abuse investigation

4 units from #Donbas ‘people’s republics’ allegedly abused civilians in Ukrainian city where mass grave was found

In April 2022 russian forces seized Izium, after a month-long battle. Six months later Ukrainian troops liberated the city. They discovered a mass grave, containing 447 bodies including the remains of 22 Ukrainian soldiers, as well as several torture chambers.

#Ukraine 🇺🇦

Nine years ago, Russia shot down #MH17 killing all 298 passengers and crew aboard. The investigation revealed a direct chain of command from Moscow to their assets posing as "separatists" responsible for the war in #Donbas. It also proved their supply with weaponry directly from Russian military bases even before Russian forces openly crossed the border in August 2014. #Ukraine

Noch immer hält #Russland das Narrativ des von der #Ukraine initiierten Genozid am russischen Teil der Bevölkerung im #Donbas aufrecht. Viele "Interviews" und Geschichten wurden bereits debunked. Nun behauptet auch ein Ex-Mitarbeiter von RIA-FAN, einer Nachrichtenseite aus #Prigoschins #Patriot-#Trollfabrik, die Videos mit den "Opfern" seien gestellt, die angeblichen Opfer nur bezahlte Darsteller, die auswendig gelernte Texte aufsagten und dabei „eine Träne verdückten“.

@Taci7 🤔 There could not be a ‘worse situation’ than being blamed for both starting the war AND losing it.

In his drafted (?) ‘angry’ diatribes, #Prigozhin placed blame for the poorly executed war squarely on the #Russian military leaders.

And the lies that started the war (Nazis were running #Ukraine ) were blamed on greedy oligarchs in the #Donbas.

But we in the West know who is responsible for ALL of it.

The so-called #RussianRebellion was too clean to be an actual rebellion.

Looks like #Putin knows he’s going to lose the #WarInUkraine and needed a scapegoat, or two. He asked his favorite chef to blame the problems in #Ukraine on poor military leadership and false pretenses cooked-up by Russia-aligned oligarchs in #Donbas , and make a lot of noise during a half-executed ‘show rebellion’.

But he’s still a ‘loose end’, so should stay away from open windows and not eat any #Californium ☢️ sushi!

Lmao Russia stopped bus routes from #Donbas into Russia (in the direction of #Rostov and #Moscow)

Interesting that when #Ukraine was mercilessly attacked by #Putin, Pres #Zelensky refused to take a ride out of the country and has stayed with his ppl ever since, despite Russian death threats.

Yet when Putin and #moscow is threatened by #wagnergroup there's suddenly a mystery plane that takes off and is untrackable.

Couldn't possibly be vile little Putin running away? Letting his Russian compatriots and Moscovite buddies sweat it out all alone?

And what exactly is Putin telling his ppl now about his so called "special operation" in #Donbas?

#Prigozhin saying that the #Russian "help" in the #Donbas was nothing but looting and correctly describing the hostilities between 2014 and 2022.
