@zana_alexandra @petrkuzmin @RG_Horvath @EdeleMark SBS did record it, but they decided not to broadcast the recording in the end -- sorry about that!

The guy was raped with a dumbbell in Moscow police. For poetry. During the interrogation. Later his friend, a young woman was forced to watch the video.

Fleeing Kharkiv

Today we passed a long, long line of cars heading out of Ukraine’s second city, as families emerged from a week in underground bomb shelters, their nerves in shreds, hoping to find safety in another city

Many had taped the word ‘children’ to their windows

As Putin commits atrocities in the name of 'denazifying' a free, democratic society, his propagandists employ fascist aesthetics. If the Third Reich was alive today, it might offer us these regimented black shirted crowds https://t.co/ps2CEm2B7n #StandWithUkraine

#Ukraine Russian forces lay siege to the Ukrainian port city of Mariupol and don't agree to a humanitarian corridor. People there say that they are cut off electricity, food, water, heating & transport. This is absolutely cruel - we are on the edge of a humanitarian catastrophe

[Dr. Ian Garner @irgarner]

Meanwhile in Russian social media land, the "Youth Army" (think cub scouts with guns) has launched a new "Write a Letter to a Soldier" campaign through VK.

Top comment: "How can we write to soldiers when there's no war on?" Taken down after 10 minutes.

[Joel Gunter @joelmgunter]

Horrible conversation with the deputy mayor of Mariupol. Says residential areas heavily bombed, including his father's neighbourhood.
"The situation is awful, we are near to a humanitarian catastrophe. We have been under more than 15 hours of continuous shelling without pause."

[Leonid Ragozin @leonidragozin]

One of the buildings of Kharkiv university on fire, hit by Russian missile. One of the first universities in Russian empire, officially founded in 1805. I interviewed a pro-Russian academic here in 2014. Putin is now destroying “Russian world” he is claiming to protect.

[Robert Horvath @RG_Horvath]

Even as he bombards Ukraine, Putin is behaving like an occupying power in his own country. He has just barred the radio station @EchoMskRu, an oasis of free expression, from the airwaves. The last time it was banned was during 1991 anti-Gorbachev coup. #StandWithUkraine

The Australian branch of the Night Wolves biker gang, a Kremlin-backed far-right paramilitary group, is posting war propaganda from the group's Moscow leader, Aleksandr Zaldostanov ('The Surgeon').

[Christo Grozev @christogrozev]

In having to verify hundreds of videos, am seeing so many dead bodies of Russian soldiers that the statement by Russian's General Staff of "no casualties" begins to sound like a major ticking time-bomb.

[Varvara Pakhomenko @Pakhomenko_V]

Kyiv expects to be stormed tonight. Several bridges are blown. Some friends are hiding in basements, some spending hours in traffic jam heading to the country's west and sleeping in a store by the road side, some took arms and joined army. Baby was born in Kyiv metro tonight.

[Uilleam Blacker 🇺🇦 @BlackerUilleam]

Me sticking it to the man over dirty Russian money in our parliament.

[Oxana Shevel 🇺🇦 @OxanaShevel]

Putin underestimates many things about Ukraine. One is the force of grass rood public mobilization. Before you dismiss its importance read how my friends are now living in Kyiv - without panic and with resolve. 1/
