Food for thought: if they treat their fellow citizens like this how do you think Russian soldiers are treating Ukrainians on the occupied territories?

That is to say, Ukrainian territory occupied by Russians.
RT @charliekreuz: 🧵Just finished reading a horrific report on torture and confinement in the Ukrainian occupied territories, compiled by Danish rights group Dignity, and several Ukrainian NGOs.
-The report finds that in c. 100 police stations Russia took over, torture chambers were “ubiquitous” https://t.co/LHoDODs8it

Easy. Suppressing a commissioned report they didn't like.
This is why supporting @amnesty is supporting shills for war criminals.

.@amnesty, the ethically challenged human rights organization suppressed a report critical of its coverage.
They've lost all moral standing, 1. with their own biased and ill-informed reporting, 2. by attacking critics and 3. now suppressing this report.

This, from @LukeDCoffey, needs to be repeated over and over.
In the 1990s the bulk of US aid money went directly to US contractors and advisors, not the Central and East European governments that were the nominal recipients.
Nothing happened changed. But myths die hard.
