Heute gedenkt Ukraine dem Genozid an den Krym Tataren (Qirimli) 1944. Von Stalin der Nazi-Kollaboration beschuldigt, wurden über 200,000 Krym Tataren gewaltsam deportiert und ~46% starben an den unmenschlichen Bedingungen während und in den 3 Jahren nach der Vertreibung.
Unter anderem auch deswegen ist das Mythos der “historisch russischen Krym” eine Lüge. Nachdem man quasi die gesamte heimische Bevölkerung vertrieben hat, siedelte man dort russen an, um die strategisch wichtige Insel zu sichern.

Bis 1989 gab es ein offizielles Verbot, das den Qirimli (Krym Tatar*innen) verbot, zurückzukehren. Aber erst nach dem Zusammenbruch der UdSSR wurde es für die Mehrheit realistisch wirklich heimzukehren.
Today, we remember the victims of the 1944 deportation of Qirimli from Crimea. Around 200000 people were forcibly removed from their homes. Soviet propaganda created a huge disinfo campaign about "Crimean Tatars as traitors" to justify their genocide & Russification of Crimea:
1/ "Crimean Tatars deserted en masse at the beginning of WW2."
In reality, over 17,000 Qirimli were already serving in the Red Army & fought throughout the war, presenting the country with several Heroes of the Soviet Union and one twice Hero, Amet Khan Sultan.

2/ "Crimean Tatars are a traitorous nation."
As with other peoples, there were a few collaborators among Qirimli during the WW2 occupation. Most were killed or arrested by the NKVD. Blaming an entire nation for the actions of some is a crime that has hallmarks of genocide.

It's the 9th multi-missile assault on #Ukraine's capital this month but local officials reort all objects were shot down.
#Darnytskyi, #Dnipro and #Desnyan districts saw falling debris (such as these photos) but no injuries reported:

The Intel update from London today talks about defences and optics. For me the last sentence is very important.
Because it happens seldom in free countries, many "Russia experts" forget the lengths and expense Putin will go to just to fool the people.

Quite a good 'haul' for #Ukraine in the lat 24 hours on the battlefield.
Four anti-aircraft systems and three "special equipment" items could be crucial ahead of the counter-attack.
In addition, #Russia lost another 680* soldiers.

#Russia's daily losses continue to creep up.
670 more soldiers losing their lives needlessly and at some point today the 185,000th troop will be killed in #Ukraine fighting a non-existent cause for a regime in Moscow as sick as Hitler's Nazis.
Fuel tanks destroyed high again.

Overnight #Russia launched another drone attack, this time in the #Dnipropetrovsk region.
All six attack UAVs were shot down.
So far at least relatively few reports of attacks on population centres today.

However his sister has identified him and asks not to name him yet - the least we can do is respect that.

The first act of Russia's hybrid aggression against Ukraine happened 9 years ago. On February 27, 2014, Russian special forces without insignia seized the Verkhovna Rada and the Council of Ministers of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea 🧵
Russia lied that its military didn't seize government buildings in Simferopol. Russia is always trying to avoid its responsibility for the aggression, either hiding behind fake “self-defence” and “militias” or blaming Ukraine and its partners.
The Russians coined the term “polite people” to refer to their anonymous soldiers, but the occupation of Crimea was neither peaceful nor bloodless. Hundreds of Ukrainian servicemen and civilians were wounded and injured, a large number were kidnapped and tortured.
Day 365 of #Russia's illegal war. A momentous day.
#Putin chose to invade #Ukraine after promising the world he would do no such thing.
As we reach the end of a year of fighting, don't forget this event I'll be on at 18:30 GMT this evening:

But many of the problems the free world face now is because of inaction almost a decade ago.
A bigger anniversary is today it's exactly 9 years since #Russia invaded #Crimea. Putin even gave medals showing the date

In case you were wondering about that tweet which couldn't be loaded, I found it quite amusing as Chancellor Scholz went straight past his flag and to the #Ukraine lectern before being corrected by Zelenskyy!
President @ZelenskyyUa is now arriving in #Brussels to meet EU officials as he continues his mission to get fighter aircraft for #Ukraine.
We've had almost a year now and it really angers me that no-one foresaw this. We never truly protected Ukraine as Russia controls the skies.

However, neither Miss Terrorussia nor Miss #Ukraine made the last 16. But the US audience gave a much warmer reception to the Ukrainian!
