Prudent to bring this article under attention again.
This morning I retweeted an article by @ashtoncirillo about the effects of the 'wrong', or 'excessive' use of words and terms.

I'm confused.
Biography alleges Musk turned Starlink off midway through a Ukrainian operation, basically scuttling their drones.
Musk has now said that Starlink never worked near Crimea and he just refused to turn it on for that region...
... so why would they launch drones?
Russian media report that a delegation of journalists, bloggers and public figures from China has arrived in the so-called "DPR".
Opera singer Wang Fang even performed a Soviet "Katyusha" song in Mariupol drama theater (where hundreds of people were killed by a Russian missile in March 2022).
"Very touching," "head" of so-called "DPR" Denis Pushilin commented on the performance.
When you deliberately thwart a strike on the Russian fleet which fired Kalibr missiles at Ukrainian cities & civilians, you are impeding Ukraine's LEGAL right to SELF-DEFENCE against ILLEGAL WAR, TERROR, and GENOCIDE. You engaged in armed hostilities to protect the aggressor.
Depleted uranium has been in the U.S. arsenal for a long time. This isn’t a controversy just because some people haven’t heard the term before.

The "peace now" crowd, the "Ukraine can't win" crowd, they are fixated on past & hypothetical aggression & imperialism by the West, not by the current and actual genocidal acts of dictatorships Russia and China. They define escalation only in opposing them. Their agenda is clear.
Amplifying the voices of Crimean Tatars now is crucial – they deserve to live at home in peace.
Russia deserves to finally fuck off for good and pay some damn reparations for genocide, ethnic cleansing, and the 2014 occupation.
To achieve it all, Ukraine must win.
The video below of Putin speaking of Zelensky as an “ethnic Jew” placed by his “Western curators” is repulsive and infuriating. The most virulent kind of antisemitism is at the very heart of modern Russian ultranationalism (National Bolshevism or simply Nazism). ⬇️
Ukrainians who lived through Russian occupation or escaped from Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine tell us some repetitive stories. Some clear patterns.
1. Often people are not allowed to leave their villages. Supplies (incl. food supplies) are often cut 1/6
These moves aren’t about Russia trying to win *this* war. This is RU grooming their next 2 generations of children & youth to fight & die in *future* wars. Not just in #Ukraine.
Take it from a German: this is the bare face of fascism. If you fear a forever war, stop Russia now.
🚨Serious escalation in #Iran's hostage taking: the regime has imprisoned an @eu_eeas diplomat from Sweden. This is not the first time Tehran has kidnapped or held a diplomat hostage, but the lack of a decisive response from EU is extraordinary. 1/3

Who is @rustem_umerov you might be asking & how should his replacing @oleksiireznikov be interpreted?
“The Ministry needs new approaches &…formats of interaction with both army & society… Fall is a time to strengthen.” Said @ZelenskyyUa in his address.

Russian propagandist Roman Saponkov openly writes that the main achievement of the "SMO" is the capture of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian children and turning them into russians.

This is what “voting” in #Russia|n-occupied part of #Zaporizhzhia region, south #Ukraine, looks like. “Election commission officials” go to homes of residents to ask them to vote, accompanied by masked armed men in uniform:
The origins of 'Slava Ukraini' -
it’s been a patriotic rallying cry for generations, akin to “God save the King” or “Vive la France.”
The phrase is tied to Ukrainians’ efforts to build an independent state notably in the face of enduring Russian aggression https://t.co/G8jgb3rMSM
1/ Wounded Wagner fighters have reportedly been thrown out of hospitals with their treatments unfinished, their payments for medical care have been terminated, and payments and benefits to their families have also stopped. "A total scam!", says one outraged Wagnerite. ⬇️
