A court in Moscow today upheld the extension of WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich's arrest. Evan will soon have spent one year in the notorious Lefortovo jail. Days after Alexei Navalny's death, I worry more than ever about our friend Evan

Take a look at how Russian police behaves with people who just want to pay their respect to Navalny. Even after they killed him they are afraid of him. And they beat those who still believe in him.
The horrific death of #Navalny in Russian prison, the brutal arrests of anti-war activists with almost life sentences, and two years of large-scale, bloody and demonstrably genocidal war in #Ukraine clearly show that the current #Russia will not end its existence with "agreements", a return to the rules and without more bloodshed. So stop thinking that you can make some kind of agreement with Death itself or with a bloody dictator. The entity #Putin and his vertical are definitely not interested in any treaties, guarantees, or stability. But they are absolutely interested in mass deaths and murders. Everywhere. Within their own country and especially in other countries. It is time to bury the history of existence of "Putin's Russia" through military defeats...
I really want as many people as possible to watch these video. Try to imagine yourself in the place of these people. Their cities were occupied by a foreign army and now people with guns come to their apartments and demand to vote for joining Russia. Fake “referendums”.
Реакция россиян на мобилизацию оказалась совсем не такой, какой ожидали в Кремле. Нет счастья на лицах от перспективы умереть за интересы путинской мафии. А дальше желание будут стимулировать спецслужбы старыми методами - взрывы домов, думаю, ещё все помнят
Принудительно мобилизованные граждане 🇷🇺, не желающие бесславно погибнуть в чужой стране! При первой же возможности — сдавайтесь в плен. Украина гарантирует вам сохранение жизни и достойное обращение. По Женевской конвенции, вы не будете выданы РФ, если сами этого не захотите.
Эксгумация тел погибших, поиски пропавших родных – это то, что происходит сейчас в Балаклее, которую несколько дней назад освободили украинские войска. Свидетели российской оккупации рассказывают о шести месяцах, когда город контролировали войска РФ

⚡️В Екатеринбурге проходит «молчаливая акция» солидарности с задержанным Евгением Ройзманом.
Силовики угрожают горожанам статьёй, заверяя, что всех засняли на камеру и требуют разойтись.
Here is something that makes me very upset and angry. Below is the response from the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs with regards to Valery Gergiev. A close friend of Putin, a war supporter, and a corrupt government official. Who also happens to be a Dutch citizen.
On Father’s Fay, the father of my children is in a Russian prison for standing up to the Putin regime of murderers. And I’m going to fight for my soulmate as fiercely as he has been fighting for years on behalf of Russian civil society, because these kids need their daddy back.
Borodyanka. A cozy town 50 km from Kyiv. April 2022. View from above. Right after the expulsion of the "Russian world" & "Russian butchers on tanks". Ruins, blood, tears. Hundreds of missing people under the rubble. And the price of the world's continued patience (to avoid "WW3")
1/14 How an ordinary Russian TV viewer (one of whom I currently am) sees it.
I learned about the monstrous events in Bucha yesterday morning from the news that Russia was convening the UN Security Council in connection with the massacre by Ukrainian Nazis in Bucha.
Mass graves.
City bombings.
Civilian executions by death squads.
Widespread marauding by combatants.
Millions of refugees of war.
Cities ceasing to exist as human settlements.
It’s Europe and the year is 2022, ladies and gentlemen, I keep saying that.
