Really hope the folks in DC are paying attention to reports that Russia is using Elon Musk's Starlink in occupied Ukraine with registered accounts, as this would be not only majorly violative of sanctions but a clear national security risk.

Donetsk - eight years ago. Eight years is enough time for people to forget that separatism in E. Ukraine was a myth, not organic, foisted on the region by outsiders and curated by RU intel services. Russian occupation followed this and went unpunished. And here we are today.

@Flash_news_ua this is a strange poll (exit polls don't exist yet by definition, people are still voting) that is almost exclusively getting shared today by pro-Kremlin sources.

It's important to say that the NATO-Ukraine Council is not just a tool for participation, it is a tool for integration. And it gives us the feeling that we will be part of the Alliance. I am confident that after the war Ukraine will be in @NATO . We will do everything for this.

Wrote an opinion piece for @KyivPost debunking some of the Ukraine narratives that have gotten too much play in recent months. By repeating them uncritically, this admin & its backers are standing in conflict with US interests in the region.

Russia is literally seven years into a war that has nothing to do with the Atlantic Council. The fear is real, because 13,000+ have died already. Grow up with this shit.

Why would Atlantic council want to think Putin would want a war in Ukraine 1. To continue to hype russian fear to keep money coming in 2. ensure Washington keeps listening 2 AC 3. keep seen leading ukr advocate in US so those indie director post on ukr SOE boards

the dude's whole shtick is not believing a single word of U.S. intel agencies yet he projects hostile country's intel -- an FSB "x-ray image" -- as truth. ALSO, x-ray image has a truck with a different number of axles than the one the FSB showed in videos. It's laughably fake.

Tucker's increasingly inhuman way of referencing Ukraine is just a reminder of what mainstream media is like across Russia. I don't know if the rest of the world is aware of how casually Ukrainians are called Nazis and Fascists on nightly national news of the *invading* country.

Beyond that, i think it's important for people to realize that a lot of Ukrainians have, in some cases long before this debate, realized the nuclear event is inevitable, and there is nothing they can do to stop it. It has not changed Ukrainians' calculus in the slightest.

This. For all Russia's talk of having a multiethnic state, and all their criticism of the nationalism of their neighbors, they have crushed what was left of the Ukrainian language out of Russia with little to no complaint from human rights groups.

Whenever I hear Putin talk about protecting Russian speakers in Ukraine I’m reminded of a stark fact. There are several million Ukrainians in the Russian Federation. They do not have a single Ukrainian newspaper, journal, library, radio or TV station.

Please though, check in on the rights of Ukrainian & Tatar speakers in Crimea. Or "Izolatsiya" in Donbas. "Trampling on the rights of ppl who prefer to speak a different language" is truly hyperbole which doesn't reflect day to day reality in Ukraine

It's not just that this is bullshit, that it is him stirring up extremely old Kremlin-pushed talking points, it's that it's one of the world's most powerful people assenting to the world casting the clear victims of attempted national eradication as themselves the villains.

Good news, but that of course only refers to the teeth, as there were other accounts of torture occurring there, including use of dildos, inhaling fumes from burning rags through gas masks, and burying people alive.

Woke up to this tragic news from my cousin, a life-long friend of Artem's. Together they'd been fighting for over a hundred days. To see Ukraine's brightest generation take these losses leaves an irreparable hole. Their entire lives have been defined by this prolonged fight.
