In a week already (novi) chock full of news stories, this is one to add to the must read list. And it’s delicious to boot.

A sickening report of mass kidnapping of Ukrainian children from The Institute of @TheStudyofWar. A thread

Between the torture chambers and stealing of children it is difficult not to view the entire Russian nation with complete contempt and disgust.
I hear the language and can think only of the crimes they are so proud of. Not glad but the response is entirely Pavlovian
RT @TheStudyofWar: 3/ The documentary series claims that Russian officials have evacuated over 150,000 children from Donbas in 2022 alone. It is unclear exactly how R…

Clarification: Your "culture" consists of murder, rape, torture and constant mendacity, @mfa_russia.
Pretty good reasons to keep you out.
RT @mfa_russia: 💬#Nechaev: We are surprised that Moldovan authorities banned entry for a Russian cultural delegation that arrived in Moldova to organise cultural events.
☝️ We do not understand this decision, to put it mildly, and expect that Moldova will clarify its reasons.

Yeah, @mfa_russia, they don't rape, kill and torture like you know how to do so well.
RT @mfa_russia: 💬 #Nechaev: The minute the Russian forces pulled out from Kherson and parts of the Kherson Region, the Ukrainian neo-Nazis resumed what they do best, harassing civilians.
❗️ We strongly condemn their shameful and inhumane methods.

This, on the MH17 trial.⬇️
Western dithering and the need to sign a contract for Nordstream 2 meant justice was not served.
Which resulted in the food and energy crisis we now face.
Great going.
RT @EliotHiggins: It was easy for Western policymakers and governments to accept this was an internal conflict to avoid confronting Russian aggression, but we're seeing the cost of that inaction now, not just to Ukraine, but to the who…

Thread:
RT @ulrichspeck: Der Grund dafür, weshalb Deutschland bei Waffenlieferungen an die Ukraine in der Vergangenheit so sehr gezögert hat, war die Angst des Kanzlers davor, dass Russland Atomwaffen einsetzen würde.
Dieser Weg aber ist jetzt, so Scholz, durch die Erklärung der G20 "verbaut".

So go on strike. You’ve got guns fcs. Sheep.
RT @wartranslated: A serviceman of the 9th Marines Regiment of the "DPR" complains to his girlfriend and mum about the discrepancy between the promised financial support and actual pay. He was meant to receive 800k rubles (£11k) in 8 months, but only gets £450 per month.

Perfect encapsulation of China's Russia policy.
I wonder how Russians feel about being China's b*tch?
RT @ulrichspeck: China needs Russia as an "useful idiot": to open up aggressively the space that China can use to advance its own anti-liberal agenda. Russia bears the costs and China gets the benefits.
