I AM A UKRAINIAN
and I am urging the world to
❗❗stop russians from genociding my nation!!!
❗❗stop russia from terrorising and blackmailing the world!!!
Roman is 8. He was injured in the Russian missile attack on Vinnytsia in July 2022. 45 % of the body surface is burned. Now he returned to Ukraine after treatment in Germany. His recovery will continue at the UNBROKEN KIDS Children's Rehabilitation Center (Lviv)#StandWithUkraine
This is unbelievable. The Berlin Opera has renewed its contract with Anna Netrebko, a russian opera singer who supporters putin’s genocidal ambitions. On the photo, she is at one of the rallies wearing a T-shirt that calls russian troops to march on Berlin.
A truly intriguing question was asked - why russians are so bad at studying foreign languages?
Let’s find a deeper reason behind it than just laziness and “wrong type of jaw”.
Since the first massive wave of Russification in Tsar russia in XIX until nowdays, all minority languages were under constant threat of extinction and some of them are in fact became dead languages. Russian was replacing them as a part of cultural genocide. Full list of endangered languages on russian territory is here - https://t.co/TXGiL9VDWj
What this has to do with russians themselves not studying new languages?
If a person was living his whole life thinking “Borders of russia never end”, other languages will go extinct (jokes about “not studying this near-dead Estonian” are still common among russians), and russian is spoken in every part of the world, he is not very likely to learn any other language.
In other words, it is another side of russian imperialism.
Just negotiate with russia to end the war, they said.
In the 1990s, the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria made multiple ‘peace’ deals with russia.
Each time, russia used the lull to prepare its next more devastating military offensive, while still waging war though other means to destabilise the fledgling nation.
In reality, russia’s war against the Chechens never stopped until the territory and its people - who were striving again for independence after centuries of russian attempts erase them - were consumed and then weaponised for russia’s next war against others.
This is Dzhokkar Dudayev, the first President of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, eventually murdered by a russian missile.
If Ukrainians stopped resisting, the fate of the Chechens today would be theirs tomorrow. It could be your nation after that, using the children of Ukrainians being attacked and stolen today.
“But Chechnya is part of russia,” the world tried to reason when looking away in the 90s.
Now the goalposts have shifted to “But Ukraine was part of the russian empire”.
Imperial logic can lead anywhere. And russia will always find a pretext to advance. Sacrificing one more nation to russian aggression will never make it stop.
But, for Chechens, another future was possible without russia.
If you’ve never heard of Dudayev then that’s understandable. The russian empire throughout its various rebrandings has continuously erased people, physically but also from memory. Sometimes the problem isn’t bad takes, but no takes at all.
But Dudayev is still a legend to us here in the Baltics.
Dudayev was born into russian genocide. As a new born baby, he was deported along with the rest of his nation. Let that sentence sink in.
In that purge of Chechens and the related Ingush, Soviet records show half a million were snatched and locked into wagons, although the real number is likely much higher. At least a quarter of the nation died through the brutality of the deportation process.
The goal was to erase their nation, exploit their labour in remote parts of russia, and let russian settlers move into their land. Their books and records were destroyed, their cultural heritage torn down, even their graves removed.
It’s a familiar story everywhere people have come into contact with russia over centuries.
In an attempt to detoxify and consolidate itself after Stalin, russia did its periodic display of mysterious soul searching and unlocked the survivors. A large scale return of Chechens began, including a 13 year old Dudayev.
Fast forward.
Dudayev became Major-General in the Soviet Air Force and was stationed in occupied Estonia with 4,000 occupiers under his command.
Yet Dudayev displayed a genuine fondness for Baltic peoples, even learning Estonian.
At the height of the Signing Revolution, Moscow ordered Dudayev to crush the re-independence movement. He refused. “I will not throw a bomb on a people fighting for the independence of their homeland,” he said.
He even went on radio to reassure Estonians that he’d prevent soviet forces entering Estonian airspace to replicate the deadly January Events seen in Lithuania.
Moscow pulled his whole division out of Estonia and forced his resignation - which meant he could dedicate himself to Chechen independence, ironically inspired by the Baltic movements he was ordered to crush.
Following a referendum, Dudayev was elected President of the newly proclaimed Chechen Republic of Ichkeria in autumn 1991.
But in Ichkeria, the empire strikes back, desperate to halt the continued break up of the russian empire.
Today, Dudayev is remembered across the free part of the former empire, including with a plaque in Estonia, a street in Latvia, and a square in Lithuania.
Dudayev admired Ukrainians too. He once wrote that the biggest mistake is to consider the Ukrainians weak. “Ukrainians always come back,” he said.
As of 2022, Ukraine recognises the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria as temporarily russian-occupied.
The russian fleet is constantly killing people in Ukraine:
On July 6th, Kalibr missiles killed 6 people in Lviv.
On July 14, 2022, russians killed 27 people, including 3 children, in Vinnytsia.
202 people were injured.
@elonmusk is defending the russian fleet.
Musk is protecting murderers.
He did not tell the whole truth about how he deliberately disrupted the @ServiceSsu special operation to destroy russian ships and missile-carrying submarines. Knowing how these special forces work, something tells me that the operation could not begin without the confirmation of the correct operation of Starlinks on OUR peninsula.
Musk shares responsibility for the war crimes of the russians because he helped them.
The complete truth with the chronology of his actions is going to destroy him.
Russian man says what he thinks Russia should do to Ukrainians and people from the Baltic States.
We have been saying this from the start… This isn’t just
Putin’s war. https://t.co/O5pkX9E6jM
The more the Kremlin Looney talks about the "failure of the counter-offensive", the more you know that it is creating major worries for the occupier army. Hard to judge where this man gets his numbers, but the reality is that the self-proclaimed "second army in the world", after surprise attacking a much smaller country 1,5 years ago, is now holding on to dear life throwing all resources at villages it keeps saying "are not important".

UN 🇺🇳 IS NOT SURE IF THERE IS GENOCIDE IN 🇺🇦
Translation from Ukrainian:
“IRPIN 🇺🇦: A Family: a man, a woman, three daughters 5, 8, 17 years old.
🇷🇺 settled in their house.
The man was shot dead on the same day.
They raped the woman, & then raped the children in front of her.
Girls aged 5 and 8 died of rape & injuries.
The woman and her daughter, 17 years old, survived, but are in serious condition in the hospital.
—-
GOSTOMEL 🇺🇦: A Family: a woman and a son of 16 years old.
The son was shot dead.
The woman was raped & beaten for more than three weeks.
She died from her injuries.
There is no family.”
The list goes on & on…
The UN 🇺🇳 is useless.
@guyverhofstadt all common russians' war, not just putin's. all russians are ok with the genocide. If they were against it, they would have overthrown the tsar by now. But no, russians adore invading countries, mass killing natiins. All russians are ok with their tyrants. It's a nazi nation.
@sternenko It was a deliberate attack to test Romania and NATO's guts. And you @KlausIohannis@MApNRomania@jensstoltenberg@NATO, by being idle, are giving nazi russians all the green light to keep massmurdering Ukrainians, terrorising Europe and the world, and, oh yes, #Romania itself.
So nazi russians are testing #Romania for decisive measures against their deliberate, disguised as 'non-deliberate' attacks Rimania's territory, but Romanian goverment keeps giving to always-at-war russia?
@KlausIohannis@MApNRomania@jensstoltenberg@NATO
Video of the attack of the russian Shahed-136 drone on the territory of Romania on September 4th.
The sound of this drone can be heard in the video. It reduced the engine speed before the strike, which is typical for the Shahed-136 at the moment of hitting the target.
At the time of the attack, there was no air defense work in progress, which means that the drone actually hit the territory of Romania as it was programmed to do by the russians.
@jensstoltenberg are you still don’t see this?
Три варіанти:
1) він взяв курс на самознищення
2) він безповоротно йобнувся кукухою
3) він просто дебіл
І три висновки:
1) з такою риторикою ніхто грошей на вибори не дасть - безперспективно
2) це відштовхує масову аудиторію - лишаються 3 маргінала
3) якісний звук - база
@pjasinski@Inna26854612@mx_kolesnikov Не Зеленський відбив атаку йобаних росіян за 3 дні, за 7 днів, за півтора року. Не Зеленський на фронті, в окопах, із зброєю в руках. Не Зеленський врятував і рятує нашу країну зараз після їхніх залицянь з пуйлом та розслабоном ще до повномасштабки, а укр НАРОД.
Day 555 of my 3 day war. I asked my generals how we will deal with Ukrainian F-16s if we can’t even stop cheap drones. They looked nervously at the window.
I remain a master strategist.
