Hot take: it’s morally wrong for rights of minorities to be democratically voted on, bc we shouldn’t be giving the electorate the right to prevent or remove other people’s rights. We shouldn’t have to ‘win hearts & minds’ to prove we’re worthy of basic dignity

[Olga Tokariuk @olgatokariuk]

I must admit I was very naive a year ago, when everyone was talking about an imminent Russian invasion. While I was sure Ukrainians would resist and I did believe Russians were capable of such atrocities, I didn't think the world would allow this to happen for so long

Are we masking yet?

on this #nationalcomingoutday here’s to more of this in fiction and in real life

[Gitanas Nausėda @GitanasNauseda]

Dear @elonmusk, when someone tries to steal the wheels of your Tesla, it doesn't make them legal owner of the car or of the wheels. Even though they claim both voted in favor of it. Just saying.

Lithuania will not be granting asylum to those who are simply running from responsibility. Russians should stay and fight. Against Putin.

[Simona @crazyvoveriukas]

@NastazjaDom I moved back to Lithuania just a couple of weeks ago, had no time to check news for like a week, and then looked at what's happening in UK and was like "yep, I think it was the right choice, I wish I could've taken my friends with me, too"

[Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦 @IAPonomarenko]

Right now, the Russian military is openly using Europe’s biggest nuclear power plant as a shield, and it also delivers artillery strikes upon Ukrainian cities from inside the plant’s territory.
And I don’t see any furious reports strongly condemning this dangerous war crime.

[Dmytro Kuleba @DmytroKuleba]

Apparently @amnesty SG calls me a ‘mob’ and a ‘troll’, but this won’t stop me from saying that its report distorts reality, draws false moral equivalence between the aggressor and the victim, and boosts Russia’s disinformation efforts. This is fake “neutrality”, not truthfulness.

I read this article so you don't have to!
I'm an expert on UK counterterrorism so let's deconstruct it together to see how appalling and dangerous this is.

(It was on the Telegraph and no I'm not linking to it.)

Back when I was a sociology student at Kyiv-Mohyla, I was stupidly, shamelessly enamoured with the collective western Left. I dreamed of a day when Ukrainian academia would have widespread and popular discussions about colonialism, privilege, and all of the -isms. I read essays

[Mariia Zolkina @Mariia_Zolkina]

#RussiaTerroristState has denied @ICRC access to the penal facility in Olenivka, where at least 53 UA POWs were murdered. RU propaganda tried to blame UA for shelling at the facility. RU’s denial to allow Red Cross enter and investigate just prove that it was RU terrorist act.

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

One large Russian bank, Gazprombank, has not been sanctioned. That's the bank European countries use to pay for gas and oil. @radiosvoboda reports that Russian soldiers are being paid *directly* from that bank.

@TriaElf9 Yes and yes. I can't even count how many times I've watched it, it's a comfort movie for me.

[Oksana Markarova @OMarkarova]

Horrible evidence of #RussianWarCrimes today demands more than outrage. It cries for action. Russia must answer for its brutal lawless killings and torture of Ukrainian POWs. #StopRussiaNOW #russiaisaterrorisstate

[Jack Lewis Evans @jacklewisevans]

people keep saying British houses are designed to “keep the heat in” but my experience is that they also suck at this. Its more accurate to say: British houses are designed to have damp.

Putin's next (and final) battle.
(This thread went viral in Russian so I decided to publish an English version as well)

A long thread about what, in my opinion, is Putin's strategy right now, and the last gamble he is making to break Ukraine's resistance.
