Rape as a form of ethnic cleansing. This is Holocaust II.

[Anastasiia Lapatina @lapatina_]

At least 25 women and girls, as young as 14, were raped by Russians in one basement in Bucha. Nine of them are pregnant. Russian soldiers said “they would rape them to the point where they wouldn't want sexual contact with any man, to prevent them from having Ukrainian children."

Russians are bringing their kids to take pictures with Z-sign while Ukrainian kids need to bury their parents in the backyard of their destroyed homes.

According to the council, Russia’s special brigades collect and burn the bodies of murdered residents. Tens of thousands of civilians may have been killed in Mariupol, it added.

My goodness, this must be the mother of all Freudian slips - by the Russian ambassador to the UN just now 👇

"The corpses in Boutcha that didn't exist before the Russian troops arrived ... er, er, left, sorry - before they left ..."

Let’s make the Don’t say gay bill cost DeSantis his career. Homophobia belongs in our history books, not power.

As a genocide scholar I am an empiricist, I usually dismiss rhetoric. I also take genocide claims with a truckload of salt because activists apply it almost everywhere now.

Not now. There are actions, there is intent. It's as genocide as it gets. Pure, simple and for all to see

@juliaioffe I actually believe that Russia has excelled in art and literature BECAUSE of the horror of its history and not despite it. There was a lot of terrible shit to process.

@oivshina Thank you for your research.

As a former Russian, and a son of a medic, I can smell these pictures, so much they are authentic. It is a mixture of urine, chlorine, cold air, and cheap drugs. A terrible smell I need to say. A one cannot be erased from memory.

[Anders Åslund @anders_aslund]

Let me stick out my neck:
1. I think Ukraine will win this war.
2. I don't think it will be a long war of months, but perhaps one more month.
3. I think the demoralized Russians will start running home, or abroad.
4. I don't think Putin can survive this madness politically.

@ZTPetrizzo But is it Russian soldiers running over their own commander’s feet with a tank because of frustration over a pointless war with huge losses low?

⚡️Russia claims to have 'evacuated' 402,000 Ukrainians to Russia, including 84,000 children.
