Some more beauties. I have never lived in a house with a garden and I'm enjoying this experience of forced resettlement as much as I can. Being close to nature and growing own food really helps me to maintain psychological stability amid the horrors of war

Exactly. People from Moscow and St Petersburg are not sent to fight in Ukraine. Russian wealthy city dwellers do not feel the impact of war and do not feel any responsibility for it. They must be taken out of their comfort zone. Banning tourist visas is one way to do it.

Travelling to Europe is popular among the Russian elites and Moscow & St Peresburg middle class. These are the people Putin tries to convince he has everyting under control. And some of them Russia uses for corrupting the Westerners, projecting Russian "soft power".2/3

I see more Russians blogging about why they are not guilty for war in the resent days. Itโ€™s due to discussion about EU visa ban. Do it. Itโ€™s already working. They finally start wondering maybe they are not just passive onlookers but have some responsibility.

I just met someone who escaped from occupied Kherson 6 weeks ago. Prior to leaving her father removed one of her tattoos from her finger because the patriotic symbol that was there would've meant she couldn't get past the Russian checkpoint. He burnt it off with a heated spoon.

Zelenskyi in his address: occupiers try to intimidate ppl using Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. They shielded w it when shelled Nikopol & Marganets. They do constant provocations by hitting the ZNPP territory...But russian blackmail only mobilizes global effort to resist terror

People. once and for all. Someone can provoke a war if he openly attacks another country. The theory that Ukraine provoked war would work if Ukraine bombed Moscow in January 2022. Otherwise, it is fucking victim blaming. period.

A senior US official about the ability of the Ukrainians to execute an offensive: If you're going to rate them from 0 to 10, how good you thought the Ukrainians were... I think I'd probably put them in about 12, just based on how impressive they've been to us in so many ways.

My thoughts exactly. Not collective guilt, but collective responsibility
Quote Tweet
I don't believe in collective guilt. I believe in individual guilt, which is a consequence of what one does or says. I do believe in collective responsibility for state actions. Even those actions one opposes. Because as a citizen you could have always done more and chose not to.

It's getting better: 'Amnesty international is being harassed now for the report they produced', says Russian rep at the UN. Is this the type of defenders you want, ? I don't know what else needs to happen for you to admit how badly you screwed up and resign

Poll: In new IRI polling from #Ukraine, 98% of respondents said โ€˜yesโ€™, they believe Ukraine will win the war. The resolve of the Ukrainian people to win the war against #Russia is only growing. Our support for their democracy and human rights should reflect that confidence

Russia turned Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant into a military base and a firing position. Ru army shells the Dnipropetrovsk region from there. Their activities led to the damage to the infrastructure of the plant. If this is not terrorism then what is it? #Ukraine

Putin didn't fire a gun. Putin didn't kill a Ukrainian. Putin didn't steal iPods from Ukrainian children. Putin didn't brag about raping Ukrainian women. Putin didn't tattoo a Z on his chest. Putin didn't humiliate and attack Ukrainian refugees throughout Europe. Russians did.
