The statement "Russia is a victim of the West" is a common propaganda tactic used by the #Russian officials to justify its aggressive actions and deflect criticism from its own actions. #UW_InfoWatch #AgainstRussianLies
While it is true that Russia has faced significant challenges and hardships over the years, including economic sanctions and political isolation, it is important to recognise that Russia's own actions have contributed to these difficulties.
#Russia has been involved in numerous conflicts and military interventions, including annexing Crimea, support for separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine, military operations in Syria, the war in Georgia and a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. #RussiaisATerroistState
After #Russia's annexation of Crimea and its subsequent aggression in #Ukraine, numerous industrial plants, factories, and infrastructure were destroyed. #AgainstRussianLies #UW_InfoWatch
The Azovstal in Mariupol was one of them. The factory was shelled by the #Russian, causing damage to the equipment, buildings, and production lines. Last year, the Russian authorities claimed that they were willing to participate in rebuilding, including the industrial plants.
However, this rhetoric has not translated into action. The reconstruction of the Azovstal factory and other damaged industrial plants is crucial for the region's economic recovery, but it seems that Russia is not willing to contribute to this effort. #RussiaUkraineWar️

Straight to the news from #Mykolaiv (RU: #Nikolaev) which has been attacked by cruise missiles this morning.
One person's known to be dead and 23 injured after one of #Russia's Black Sea fleet fired on the peaceful city in southern #Ukraine, hitting an apartment block.

#Russia's losses a little higher in terms of equipment today but a little lower in terms of body bags.

This is how I ended yesterday's thread.
There is a lot of speculation as to who the man is, it seems he may originally be from #Donetsk.
However his sister has identified him and asks not to name him yet - the least we can do is respect that.

Seeing #UKTwitter claiming that building a few hulls for new Challenger 2s is not a big deal. The issue is never if something can be built, but the following.
1. Cost per unit to restart building something out of production for decades/decade.

2. Is the Government ready to accept that cost and place those much needed orders.
3. Time taken to actually build something from when order is placed (lead time)

Key is, the UK has pleged more vehicles without any plans or funding for new tanks. There are rumblings for a new SPH (K-9 vs Archer, maybe RCH-155) but nothing for a tank.
Ukraine receives supplies of military aid from allies and counterparts. Meanwhile, Russia shows signs of something like 'bipolar disorder' on the scale of the state. Isn't it a sign of fear? 1/4 #UW_InfoWatch #AgainstRussianLies
Firstly, as Russians claim, new weapons for Ukraine "won't change" the course of the #RussiaUkraineWar️. Why were the propagandists so hysterical about that? 2/4 #ArmUkraine #StandWithUkraine
Later, Peskov assured that NATO arms deliveries would "add problems" for the Ukrainian people but wouldn't prevent Russia from achieving the "special military operation" goals.

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:

A bumper crop for #Ukraine's army in the last 24 hours, according to #Kyiv's figures.
Almost 800 more dead Russian troops, plus 16 tanks destroyed. All the first four categories today are above average.

Russia attacks Ukraine using various ways and equipment like aviation, offensive on the battlefield attacks, and constant missile and drone strikes. #AgainstRussianLies #UW_InfoWatch 1/4
Nevertheless, Ukraine is currently at the best level from the point of view of air defense system.
In particular, that Ukrainian air defense systems already shoot down at least 50-60% of air targets and up to 85%. 2/4 #RussiaUkraineWar️

In the September 8, 1919 New York Times, the president of the Ukrainian Association of Jews warned US President Woodrow Wilson of the coming genocide that had already begun in #Ukraine.
He correctly predicted the exact number — 6 million — who would die in the #Nazi #Holocaust.
He correctly predicted the exact number — 6 million — who would die in the #Nazi #Holocaust.
These crimes of 1918-19 were not committed against Ukrainian Jews by Germans.
They were committed BY Ukrainian nationalists who over the next 2 decades would join forces with Nazi Germany.
This was the forgotten Holocaust before the Holocaust.

This was the forgotten Holocaust before the Holocaust.
200,000 Jews were slaughtered between 1917-21 in #Ukraine — by any metric, a genocide.
Yet these pogroms are not even talked about by the #Holocaust Museums in the United States and Jerusalem.
It is vitally relevant to what happened in #WWII, and in today’s #UkraineRussiaWar.
