#Eksplozja w #Chmielnickim. Brak dowodów na obecność #amunicji ze zubożonym #uranem

#Rosyjska #propaganda po raz kolejny aktywnie próbuje siać #panikę w #Polsce i krajach #Europy. Narracje te są bardzo chętnie powielane przez liczne konta w mediach społecznościowych. [1/3]
Na ten moment nie ma żadnych dowodów na to, by w #Chmielnickim znajdowały się magazyny, w których składowano #amunicję ze #zubożonym #uranem. Nie zaobserwowano wzrostu #promieniowania ani w #ukraińskim mieście, ani w #Polsce. [2/3]

#Ukraine #murdered the people of #Donbass and #Lugansk? Falsehood” Image
‘It was not #Ukraine that #murdered the people of #Donbass and #Lugansk

Sometimes anti-#Ukrainian #propaganda uses falsehoods – e.g. #fabricated documents or photos, through which it gives a completely new, #untrue context – or simply untruth.
This is the case here. In the post we read that the current Ukrainian authorities "#murdered the #people of #Donbass and #Luhansk due to their #ethnic origin."

#FakeNews aside, what is the current state of #Russia's war in #Ukraine?

RU, UKR, and Western maps roughly agree with respect to the position of the front line.
However, when estimating losses, there are incredible differences... and this is what I'd like to discuss in this 🧵.
Total #Ukrainian & #Russian #Troops

Public estimates of troop numbers vary, with most sources agreeing that both sides have committed ~150k-250k men to the conflict.

Forces committed ≇ total army size.
cf. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armed_For…
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_A…
armedforces.eu/compare/countr…
#Russian & #Ukrainian #Casualties

Reznikov said he "hopes" the figure is below 100k.
Most US sources est. UKR & RU losses to be ~16k.
Most UKR & RU est. opponent's losses as double.

Surveys from #Russia are rare. Together with @mowebresearch, we asked 1500 Russians what they think about the war in #Ukraine in a representative online survey. Despite #propaganda & penalties for voicing critical opinions, 27% oppose the #InvasionOfUkraine. 🧵 (1/11)
Particularly younger respondents (aged 18-39) oppose Russia’s military intervention in #Ukraine (36%). (2/11)
11% of respondents consider #Russia to be responsible for the conflict escalation. The same number attribute this to the #NATO (11%), almost half place blame on the #US (46%). (3/11)

This is sickening. Waiting for #trump supporters who claim to support #USMilitary to explain how they can continue to support a man who hates our #troops. @JoeBiden’s son #Beau served in #Iraq. @DrBiden has supported #militaryfamilies for years. #USMC #USN #USAF #BidenHarris2020
#Trump referred to former President #GeorgeHWBush as a “loser” for being shot down by the Japanese as a Navy pilot in #WorldWarII. #Bush flew 58 combat missions in the Pacific. He enlisted at 18. Trump enlisted never. history.com/news/george-hw… #SupportOurTroops #VoteBidenHarris
When #JohnMcCain died in 2018, #Trump became furious when he saw flags lowered to half-staff. “What the fuck are we doing that for? Guy was a fucking loser.” McCain was taken prisoner after flying his 23rd bombing mission over N.Vietnam. #Trump has flown a mission never.

My father would be LIVID if he found out that Fort Gordon, where he did basic, is named after a #traitor & a #racist.

If Trump served, instead of faking #BoneSpurs, he'd know it's obscene to veto funding for our #troops in defense of dead generals who bore arms against the US.
12 US bases named after traitors that Trump cares about more than current troops: Beauregard (LA), Benning (GA), Bragg (NC), Gordon (GA), AP Hill (VA), Hood (TX), Lee (VA), Maxey (TX), Pendleton (VA), Pickett (VA), Polk (LA), Rucker (AL). #Inhofe en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U….
Gen David Petraeus (ret): It's "strange ... that the leaders of the fight against the Union were more widely honored—with their names on federal forts, roads, barracks, gates, housing areas, etc.—than were those who fought for the country." #treason #Trump slate.com/news-and-polit…

The conflict is the 1st deadly encounter between Indian & Chinese forces in 45 years & marks a severe escalation in tensions betw/ the 2 nuclear-armed neighbors."
"The deaths occurred in the mountainous region of #Ladakh where #India & #China share a disputed...#border. No Indian soldiers have been killed in clashes on the frontier between the 2 countries since 1975, experts say, & no casualties of this magnitude have occurred since 1967."
"#India at first said that 3 #soldiers had died in a 'violent faceoff' that caused '#casualties on both sides.'

Later Tuesday, the #Indian #Army said in a statement that 17 more Indian #troops who were 'critically injured in the line of duty' had “succumbed to their injuries.'"
