Anton Krasovsky claimed that Ukraine doesn't exist and the US is still the British empire (because we speak English). He also says that "he suffered for being like Putin." Perhaps he believes that burning and drowning Ukrainian kids means being like Putin.

When Russian military correspondents were stomping for the regime, I bet they never imagined it would turn on them. Head of RT Margarita Simonyan was swearing up and down that "according to her sources" this wasn't happening. Apparently, it is. ⤵️ I wonder why nobody told her.

Perhaps now people will understand why they shouldn't have shared clips where someone took my translated videos and added their own fake translations "for fun." This was the real purpose of doing that: now stupid @Facebook is marking my authentic translations with this notice. @Meta, what's wrong with you?

Putin came, bearing flowers, to give his respects to the late nationalist extremist Vladimir Zhirinovsky, who predicted the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine to take place at 4 AM on February 22, 2022. That might have been part of the original plan. Thread:

Remarkably, the author ADMITS there is no Nazism in the Ukrainian gov't & therefore claims that phantom Nazism is "disguised as a desire for independence" and a Western path of development. Russia simply sees Ukraine's desire for independence as "Nazism."
This state media article argues that even the name of "Ukraine" should not be allowed to remain, and any surviving "republics" should be forced to rely solely on Russia for its survival.

Human Rights Watch:

“The cases we documented amount to unspeakable, deliberate cruelty and violence against Ukrainian civilians. Rape, murder, and other violent acts against people in the Russian forces’ custody should be investigated as war crimes.”

hrw.org/news/2022/04/0… "These include a case of repeated rape; two cases of summary execution, one of six men, the other of one man; and other cases of unlawful violence and threats against civilians between February 27 and March 14, 2022. Soldiers were also implicated in looting civilian property."

Putin has been misinformed by his advisers about the Russian military’s struggles in Ukraine, according to declassified U.S. intelligence. It shows growing tension between Putin & the Ministry of Defense, including Russian defense minister, Sergei Shoigu.
nytimes.com/2022/03/30/wor… "Putin’s rigid isolation during the pandemic and willingness to publicly rebuke advisers who do not share his views have created a degree of wariness, or even fear, in senior ranks of the Russian military."

Marina recorded this video before interrupting Channel One's live broadcast. I translated it for you (thread):

“What is currently happening in Ukraine is a crime. Russia is a country-aggressor.” /1

"All responsibility for this aggression lies on the conscience of one person: Vladimir Putin. My father is Ukrainian, my mother is Russian. They were never enemies." /2
