In the wake of Iran and Lebanon and Gaza, and this administration being a series of fast-paced disasters, it’s important to also remember Ukraine and the people living under Russian occupation and constant attack. youtu.be/w5nPWvwPcvQ?...

Join us for a discussion on a new report uncovering how thousands of fake Telegram accounts were used in a covert Russian influence campaign targeting Ukrainians in occupied territories. Accounts post a mix of pro-Russian propaganda, anti-Ukrainian narratives, and abstract calls for peace.

An influence operation that didn’t go viral...but didn’t have to. Join us July 16 as we launch a new report w/ OpenMinds & AC Eurasia Center on how 3,600+ fake Telegram accounts quietly shaped narratives in occupied Ukraine. Live at 10 a.m. ET: bit.ly/4lWqnEw

Remember Kherson human safari? Well, since Russia wasn't punished, it spread. KHARKIV on the video. Russian drone strikes a civilian car. On purpose.

In the heart of a European capital, firefighters pull bodies from the rubble of a building that collapsed after being bombed by a member of the UN Security Council.

It is a day of mourning in Kyiv following the horrific June 17 Russian attack. Russia intensifies its attacks against civilians. In just one night, an entire apartment block was destroyed, amongst other homes. 28 people confirmed dead, including a US citizen. 134 injured.

Last night,Russia launched a very deliberate&demonstrative massive strike on Odesa: that's the ceasefire you get. This is very usual for prison culture:to beat up& kill demonstratively. I will repeat the facts once more: Russia is a terrorist state. Putin is a war criminal

I am going to be so pissed if--after everything--I do, in fact, die of dysentery.

If Russia succeeds in Ukraine, then we won't have the international world order we used to have. It means that you can change the borders of an independent country through war. @marekkohv.bsky.social @tsahkna.bsky.social 🎬 "Putin’s endgame: The stakes beyond Ukraine" @atlanticcouncil.bsky.social

At the Terezin concentration camp outside Prague I asked the Czech guide if the Ukrainian flag went up in 2022. She said, “Yes, we are friends of Ukraine. We don’t like PUTLER. He’s just like Hitler, that guy.” Visit with @joshstein.bsky.social

Trump has finally announced his pick for a special envoy for Ukraine and Russia. General Kellogg is a strong pick.

If you are "tough on China," then listen to Taiwan

The Kyiv Independent@kyivindependent.com · 2y ago

⚡️Taiwan’s former president urges US to prioritize aiding Ukraine over Taiwan, Politico reports. "A Ukrainian victory will serve as the most effective deterrent to future aggression," former Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen said during the Halifax International Security Forum.

Klitschko is right, of course. Rogan has long been a major source of Russian propo (both the general disinfo/division campaigns and the actual anti-Ukraine varieties). Is it because Rogan is a mouthpiece who will say anything? Is he being directly influenced? I'm not sure of that yet.

POLITICO Europe@politico.eu · 2y ago

Ukrainian boxing icon Wladimir Klitschko accused American podcaster Joe Rogan of spreading Russian propaganda on his show — and dared Rogan to invite him on for a chat.

Yes they are 💪🏼♀️

“of course i’m scared. only dumb won’t be. but i must overcome it. people here need help. who else will do it” Nadiya Shandruk heads a postal office 5km away from the frontline in a village Preobrazhenka in my home region Zaporizhzhia. Ukrainian women are made of steel 😭

1000 days of full-scale invasion, over 10 years of war. 1000 days of Russian terror, destruction, and stolen childhoods. 1000 days of Ukrainian heroism, resilience, and unwavering resistance. Ukraine fights on. #StandWithUkraine— for their victory, justice, and lasting peace.

But why only in Kursk? Still a lot of weird red lines.

“Allowing the Ukrainians to use the long-range missiles, known as the Army Tactical Missile Systems, or ATACMS, came in response to Russia’s surprise decision to bring North Korean troops into the fight, officials said.” www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/u...

Are we going to have to keep doing a whole #LetUkraineStrikeBack campaign for every Russian oblast? Ukraine must be allowed to strike any legitimate military target. Everything should be on the table.

This is a bittersweet victory. While very welcomed and necessary, it’s incredibly overdue. Kudos to all Ukrainians and their supporters who have been pushing for this.

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2y ago

Breaking News: President Biden authorized the first use of U.S.-supplied long-range missiles by Ukraine for strikes inside Russia, U.S. officials said. His decision is a major change in U.S. policy.

Boris Johnson is a polarising politician, but he has been consistently right about Ukraine. His latest warnings should be taken seriously

Have you ever been told breaking news mid a professional call and accidentally screamed OH SHIT!? No, me either. Certainly not today.
