Talk about a hostile takeover. Russian troops take over Finland’s largest energy company’s operations in Russia.
And yet when Estonians said it was a gangster state we were told we were psychologically damaged.

When it comes to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, I get that talking about democracy to the “global South” doesn’t get the kind of traction people want. Talk of democracy doesn’t move autocratic strongmen. Look at Orban.

RT @NatalkaKyiv: Warning: graphic content.
I’d be afraid to take a train in Moscovia if I lived there.
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.

Imagine the hue and cry and EU demarches if any country of the so-called “former Soviet Union” did this to naturalized Russians.
