I want to try to encapsulate the magnitude of big picture problems Russia is having. So here is a list:
1. In the wake of a terrorist attack Putin is blaming Ukraine instead of ISIS. This means that they might not be taking steps to address the actual problem
🚨 IMPORTANT: Please share far & wide.
Summary of claims made by Russian defector, GRU Military Intelligence Colonel Igor Salikov, in his affidavit to the International Criminal Court. You can access the entire English translation at the link below.
• Igor Salikov wishes to surrender to the ICC and face justice, as it appears he committed war crimes in Ukraine.
2014 Russian invasion of Ukraine
• Worked with Dmitry ‘Wagner’ Utkin even before the formation of Wagner PMC, including at Redut PMC.
• Participated in Russia's military coup of government in eastern Ukraine in 2014, ordered by Putin’s Presidential Administration.
• Witnessed the mechanisms of the fraudulent ‘referendum’ in occupied Donetsk in 2014, leading to the formation of ‘Donetsk People’s Republic.’
• Commanded an FSB special forces unit in occupied Donbas under the guise of ‘Ukrainian separatists.’
• In 2015, witnessed false-flag operations of Russian forces shelling Ukrainian civilians in Donbas which were blamed on the Ukrainian Armed Forces, with the specific purpose of disrupting the ‘Minsk-2’ peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia.
• Witnessed the Russian forces mining the streets and paths in occupied Donbas in the spring of 2015 with the specific intent to murder Ukrainian civilians and blame the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Many Ukrainian civilians died including children.
• Witnessed torture and executions of civilians in Ukraine & Syria.
• Witnessed a mass purge of field commanders by Wagner PMC in 2014-2015 in occupied Donbas.
2022 Russian Invasion of Ukraine
• Was head of Russian military intelligence detachment tasked with capturing the SBU headquarters in Kyiv and assassinating key SBU employees at the onset of the Feb 2022 invasion. Entered Ukraine through Chernobyl. Three Ukrainian security service traitors from the Yanukovich era were attached to his unit.
• Witnessed torture and executions of Ukrainian prisoners of war.
• At the end of March 2022, was tasked with the execution of 5 Ukrainian civilians in Bucha. However, Salikov disobeyed the order and instead released the hostages. Russian military opened a criminal case against him for this act, but Salikov was able to flee and has been in hiding ever since, until arriving in the Netherlands to turn himself in to the ICC on December 18th 2023.
• Already provided extensive testimony of Russian war crimes to Ukraine's Prosecutor General [confirmed]
• Worked with Human rights defender Vladimir Osechkin for over 1 year after fleeing Russia to prepare & organize testimony to the ICC [confirmed]

Stephen Fry and I had a cordial and friendly meeting.
We talked about a variety of aspects of Ukrainian life: culture, resilience, and our people's bravery.
I thanked him for supporting Ukraine. We all hope for a just peace to be restored.
@reshetz He's always been insane. Heard him saying batshit crazy stuff all through my life. Just ignore him, he's not relevant. Ukraine is though! Slava Ukraine
Targeting a BLOOD TRANSFUSION CENTER! What more can be said about Russian genocide in Ukraine? Please retweet widely. Let's see if all of Twitter can see this.
🚨 🚨 #NAFOfellas, don't allow the Kremlin narrative to spread that Moscow drone attack was committed by Ukrainians. It was not. Most of the puny tiny ineffective drones were shot down (or self-destructed) and some killed civilians only. It's a Russian false-flag to blame Ukraine
@MassachusettsXY@darland_sean@FPWellman@xbxccdw2qj "We need to protect the unborn children!" But as soon aa they're out, we don't give a shit if they die in a shooting since we need our guns! People are the problem, yeah? Well then don't give guns to the fucking problem! This is heartbreaking and they're too dense to see it.
@SmartdollLand From Denmark. Back in 2022 we bought a doll and a shirt, and for that we paid $260 in import fees.. 🤯Luckily we were prepared, but the Danish import fees are insane 😄
