Led out of his flat for questioning, @roizmangbn says he’s being prosecuted ‘basically for one phrase - the invasion of Ukraine. I say it everywhere, I’ll say it now,’ he tells press at his door

He’s facing up to 5 years in prison, joining @vkaramurza, @IlyaYashin & others

Russia is now a country where you see someone criticising the war & govt & you wonder why they're still free & when they'll be arrested

Evgeny Roizman was pretty much the last prominent, vocal Kremlin-critic standing

He's just been charged with 'discrediting the Russian army'

@JenkinsBrevard @VoteRandyFine @Florida_Today @EricRogersFT @baileygallion In my previous post, the word ‘explain’ gave wrong connotation. That point bothered me. To clarify: when we asked you about payments, you denied and answered questions. We have no further evidence any payments were made. We saw no story.

@JenkinsBrevard @VoteRandyFine @Florida_Today @EricRogersFT @baileygallion Dear Ms. Jenkins: there seems to be a misunderstanding. Our reporter asked you about venmo payments we saw when your account was public. You explained and we saw no story. No documents or screenshots were provided by anyone.

Horrific attack by Russia on an Ukrainian train station where hundreds were waiting to evacuate.

This is example of how evacuation from Mariupol looks like, from civilian perspective..

Powerful message from Kyiv’s mayor.

Month of shame. Ukraine is not a battlefield. It is a crime scene.

One Ukrainian woman’s story.
'How dare you?' was her response to Russia’s invasion. #Ukraine

I’ve worked out of our KSC building countless times over the last 10 years. Had never seen anything of note through the left window — until today.

@JCUAlumni Thank you!

This is heartbreaking.

Before Russia vs after Russia.
