Just a human being

[Shaun Pinner @ShaunPinnerUA]

The irony isn’t lost on me.

I’m standing on a platform in Ukraine, with ballistic missiles and jet-powered drones hitting major cities. I’ve just had to evacuate a train while reading that NATO apparently needs to strengthen military communication with Russia to prevent World War III. 🙃

You really couldn’t make it up.

Russia is burning Ukrainian books, again.
They are not just attacking “storage facilities” - they are attacking publishing houses themselves.

Cultural genocide is the aim, have no doubt

12 people dead after tonight’s ballistic attack on Kyiv

As usual, residential buildings destroyed by Russia

[Pepel Klaasa @pepel_klaasa]

Standard daily news:

Russian Armed Forces: struck residential areas / a market / a hospital / firefighters who arrived to help, killing children.

Ukraine: struck an oil refinery / a military research facility / warehouses.

Russia has destroyed more than 1.1 million Ukrainian school textbooks, Ukraine’s Ministry of Education and Science reported.

This year, 13.5 million books are planned to be printed for schoolchildren. Of those, 2.3 million have already been delivered to schools, while another 3.7 million are being shipped.

Strikes on printing facilities could slow production, meaning some textbooks may not be reprinted before September 1. In the meantime, students will be offered digital versions.

@SashaFrantseva Є добровольці які воюють аж з 2014 року та досі не мають ВНЖ окрім воєнніка. Знаю про декількох росіян та чеченців.

Russia’s occupation authorities in Kherson Oblast are preparing to “nationalize” 1172 Ukrainian homes, according to Ukraine’s Ombudsman.

The properties belong to owners who refused to or could not re-register them under Russian law. This is another large-scale illegal seizure of civilian property in occupied Ukraine and constitutes a war crime.

Last night, russia killed Olena Arkhipova in Odesa.

She was a mother of three, a volunteer, and a first aid instructor with the Ukrainian Red Cross.

She was running with her children to a shelter when a russian missile struck.

Her children survived.

Olena did not.

She taught first aid to emergency responders, police officers, adults, and children. She was supposed to begin a new course for people with disabilities today.

Rest in peace, Olena.

russia killed her.

Shocking footage: Russians drop a 3-ton bomb (KAB/FAB) on Orikhiv in the Zaporizhzhia sector.

If Europe were governed by real leaders rather than bureaucrats afraid of their own shadows, the skies over Ukraine would be closed, and these Russian attacks would not be possible.

[Pepel Klaasa @pepel_klaasa]

This is what freaking populists ALWAYS lead to. When you allow your opinion leaders to insult a particular nation, the lowest of the low start raising their heads.
A healthy society must react on such situations. If the whole bus is silent, your society is in deep trouble. I cannot imagine standing such a situation silent.

An engineer designed a missile
Several factory workers assembled it
A driver brought it to the air field
A loader loaded it
An officer gave the order
A pilot shot it

All to murder a beautiful family

@GrandKhryu Какого нового скатывания? Они еще из старого не выкатились.

Many people who died or lost their homes in Kyiv had to escape from the Russian invaders not once, but sometimes twice or three times. And even that did not help.
Because it is a plague. Simply a plague.

[Darth Putin @DarthPutinKGB]

For some reason @AgnesCallamard hasn't mentioned our deliberate killing of civilians with ballistic missiles over the past few days.

Wonder why. Other crimes against humanity seem to get their due attention...

[Pepel Klaasa @pepel_klaasa]

Well, guys, if you don’t get what “Masha and the Bear” fuss is about, let me explain.
It is not simply about it being a Russian cartoon. Hundreds of Russian cartoons are available on Western platforms.
I won’t be going into the pedagogical quality of this cartoon, though my son is not allowed to watch it. At this point, he would be so pissed off with the girl’s behavior that he’d refuse to watch it himself. Anyway.

This cartoon features the girl Masha wearing an NKVD cap. NKVD - a predecessor of KGB.
According to archival research, NKVD is responsible for:

- Executed for political reasons by the NKVD (1930s–1953): about 800,000–1 million people. During the Great Purge alone, approximately 681,692 people were executed under NKVD Order No. 00447 (1937–1938).

- Political arrests: around 4–5 million people were arrested on political charges during the Stalin era.

- Sent to Gulag labor camps for political reasons: about 2.5–3 million people over time, although many more passed through the Gulag system for both political and criminal offenses.

- Victims of mass deportations: about 6 million people from various ethnic groups and social categories were forcibly deported during the Stalin period. Many died during transport or in exile.

- Deaths in Gulag camps and special settlements: estimates range from 1.5 to over 2 million, depending on the period included and the methodology used.

So, we are talking about a little girl wearing a Gestapo-on-steroids cap.
Should it be allowed? Probably not. Especially in the times when the country that produced the film is busy with a genocidal war. And does not recognize the crimes of NKVD anymore, because its president is literally a fan of that organization. I’m pretty sure that this cute detail - the cap - was added as a dark joke to please him and the colleagues.
