Putin lied about the 1999 apartment building bombings, 2000 Kursk submarine disaster, 2004 Beslan school siege, murders of Politkovskaya in 2006, Magnitsky in 2009, Nemtsov in 2015, and many other critics, Russian soldiers occupying #Crimea, the downing of MH17, and plans to invade Ukraine, to name a few lies on a very, very long list.
Putin is a pathological liar. Including now that he is desperately attempting to link Ukraine or other Western nations to the mass shooting near Moscow, despite the fact that there is no evidence to support such claims.
Do not let Putin and his henchmen dupe you. Their only goal is to motivate more Russians to die in their senseless and criminal war against #Ukraine, as well as to instill even more hatred for other nations, not just #Ukrainians, but the entire West.
Rather than just giving Ukraine the tools to deal with these monsters, European politicians continue to ignore Russia's terror attacks across the continent, and it's only getting worse.
Just in the past 2 months
Derailing trains in Sweden
Burned warehouse in UK
2 arrested in Bavaria before attacking German logistics centers
Destroyed signalling systems on Czech railways
Attack on car of Estonian minister
Jamming GPS across several sections of Nothern Europe from Kaliningrad
Ukraine is willing to do all the work on this if merely provided the tools. Two years from now, Europeans will be praying to go back in time and arm Ukraine.
Putin's terrorist engage in "disinformation, sabotage, acts of violence, cyber and electronic interference.. and other hybrid operations."
Was this an act of war? Prelude to war Russian state-directed propagandists announced is coming?
NATO sounds alarm over 'hostile' Russian activity across Europe, US
Name another country where 508,000, over half-million people could die in a futile war and still, not only is the country not on the brink of revolt, people are pretty chill about the whole thing.
⚡️A poll released on May 30 by the Levada Center, a Russian independent polling organization, found that 71% of respondents believed Russia is "going in the right direction," and another 87% said they supported Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The way MAGAs worship Vladimir Putin turns my stomach as an American. Putin is wanted for war crimes and #genocide on #Ukrainian children. The Hague issued the arrest warrant.
Putin is a creepy little dead-eyed mass murderer, who hires psychopaths to throw people from windows and has been murdering children with missiles—that’s it, that's the story of Vladimir Putin.
It feels like republicans are just repeating what Putin tells them to say. Maddow’s “Prequel” reminds us that there was a time when Nazi Germany was paying our legislators and writing their speeches.

Yesterday's Russian attack on the #Kharkiv region, which killed and injured people, destroyed a printing press and burned 50,000 books, shows that Russia is at war with humanity and all aspects of normal life.
Russian terrorists kill adults and children, destroy cities and villages, leaving scorched spots where normal life once was. Another day of Putin's genocide... 8 killed and dozens wounded in this atrack. Please, speak up for Ukrainians. They need our help. 🙏

Hungary 🇭🇺 has descended into authoritarianism, supports russian #fascism politically, financially and legally, it continuously blocks EU and NATO decisions which would otherwise be unanimous, and its actions lead to security risks in #Europe and deaths in #Ukraine.
It is time to say it as it is: there is no place for fascist governments in #EU and #NATO
"International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) experts have observed directional anti-personnel #mines on the periphery of the site of Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya #Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said today.
During a walkdown on 23 July, the #IAEA team saw some mines located in a buffer zone between the site’s internal and external perimeter barriers."
Russians are throwing everything they have at Kyiv right now. Invader Russian strategy is to make #Ukrainians dying a norm so that the world gets used to it and starts ignoring. And unfortunately it is working
Massive explosions, rockets from 3 directions, another 2 waves still incoming, hypersonic missiles launched.
9 Russian Tu-95 strategic bombers launched cruise missile firing positions. Launches of X-101/555/55 type missiles from the Tu-95 are recorded.
Missile launches reported from Russian Tu-95Ms strategic bombers over the Caspian sea. These are expected to reach Ukraine within minutes.
5 Explosions in Kyiv now, live on the call with Kyiv as it happened.
Separately, Russia's Shahed drone swarm attacks are already ongoing in #Ukraine
6-8 Tu95s delivering Cruise missiles every night for some time. Some are tactical but most are just terroristic to keep the citizens in terror. Much like Germany did in WW2 to England.
⚡️Borrell: EU foreign ministers agree on plan to transfer profits from frozen Russian assets to Ukraine.
European Union foreign ministers have reached a political agreement to finalize the work on transferring revenues from frozen Russian assets to #Ukraine based on the proposal suggested in December, EU's top diplomat Josep Borrell said on Jan. 22.
UPDATE: Wanted war criminal Putin appears to delay his flight to Turkey.
Where are the bounty hunters? Putin is wanted for genocide against #Ukrainian children.
Need new dates ?!
Trip delayed.
War criminal Putin was expected to visit #Turkey on Feb. 12 to meet #Erdoğan.
⁉️
Does anyone know the Departure airport (#russia), Arrival airport (turkey)?
War Criminal Putin is a war crimes suspect by the International Criminal Court in The Hague and has largely avoided travelling abroad since the start of the war.
OTD in 1994 Russia signed the Budapest memo, guaranteeing Ukraine's territorial integrity in exchange for their nukes,
44 Ukrainian heavy bombers (Tu-22) and 1,068 Kh-55 cruise missiles.
Another Russian opposition leader murdered by Putin. Is there any doubt #Navalny was murdered? Putin murdered him because he finally feels comfortable doing so. Why? Because donaldtrump is inviting attacks on #NATO, fascist tucker carlson is cheering Putin, the #gop is blocking aid to Ukraine, so time to kill Navalny.
Putin, a hostile foreign intelligence agent, is one of the most infamous cold-blooded killers in human history. Dictator Vladimir Putin is wanted for war crimes by the International Criminal Court (#ICC). The court #Arrest#Warrant states he responsible for #genocide of Ukrainian children and unlawful deportation of children from Ukraine to Russia.
Hundreds were arrested around the funeral. The FSB shut down the internet, and interrupted the funeral service --dragging the coffin away, before taking it to the grave site. This is what republicans worship.
"How can a brutal minority #Alawite#Assad regime hold control of the #Euphrates west bank that is solidly #Sunni#Arab? It's because two dead empires continue to oppress the region. #Russia burned up its army in #Ukraine and now #Iran stands alone in the Euphrates river valley.
Iran' extremist regime in #Qom brings the region nothing but death and misery. Ridding Syria of Iranian #imperialism will begin healing required for peace not only in Syria but in the entire region. Iran is the problem. Stopping Iran is the solution. Take and hold #Bāghū
Then drive the #IRGC and its proxies into the #Badiya desert to commune with the remnants of #ISIS."
Huge respect for #Ukraine, President Volodymyr #Zelenskyy, the #UkrainianArmy and Special Forces for abiding by international law and not falling for the #RussianTerrorists' trap of "doing to them what they did to us".
That is what distinguishes peoples, cultures and the character that forms victorious, peaceful nations who act by #InternationalLaw from those who do not.
At least four people were killed and 28 seriously injured as Putin's army hit the seaside city of #Odesa#Ukraine. Putin's army missile attack damaged residential buildings and civilian infrastructure, including the Palace of Students of the National University "Odesa Law Academy". The fire broke out there and destroyed the building.
#Ukrainians should not live through the constant Russian attacks. The air defence system is needed to shelter peaceful #Ukrainian cities. And the global effort is essential to stop this terror for good.
Russians now dismantling the buoys separating Estonia from Russia.
A golden era for all enemies of democracy is here.
Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, backed by the resources of a rapidly growing list of African nations is sliding into the power vacuum of a democratic world that refuses to respond even when Ukrainians were willing to do all the fighting.
Estonia's foreign ministry said it had summoned Russia's chargé d'affaires and it was treating the move as a "provocative border incident". It had demanded the "immediate return" of the buoys. It comes after the Russian defense ministry briefly published a proposal to revise its maritime border in the Baltic Sea this week. Russia is a terrorist state. #ArrestPutin
Latest United Nations report on Russia's war crimes in #Ukraine reads like the worst horror film imaginable. Women & young girls viscously raped by drunken Russian soldiers & rape/sexual assault used as punishment for any pro-Ukraine sentiment. The inhuman torture of Ukrainian prisoners, both soldiers & civilians is beyond words.
We can not look away, Ukrainians need us to speak up for them against Russian barbaric torture, rapes, killings. Let the world know what russians have done & are doing now as you read this.
