↪ PS. Later, #Girkin_Strelkov and #Borodai, two #Moscow born russian nationalists became the founding fathers of so-called #Donetsk People’s Republic #DPR - and of “Ukrainian separatism” altogether

#Strelkov is in jail now, for bragging too openly about his role in those events and criticizing #putin, who, in his opinion, is not ruthless enough

As to #Borodai, he was awarded richly for starting a war, became a member of #RussianDuma, bought a posh apartment in #Dubai. His life is good.

↪ On the next day, #Ukraine heard the intercepted phone call of the Russian @FSB officer #IgorGirkin / #Strelkov with his #Moscow handler Aleksandr #Borodai. #Strelkov reported that his group had killed "someone big"

Actually he didn't say "killed" - he said "minced" ("покрошили"), as if these weren't people, but some kind of meat. “Good job”, #Borodai responded, “what a good way to celebrate a holy day!”

It was a #PalmSunday, a big deal for Orthodox Christians ⏩

and in 1918, #Moscow recognized it when the #Brest_Peace_Treaty was signed.

🤡 #Ukraine started the war, #Russia's goal is to stop it

❗️ #Russia started the war in 2014, and the instigators of the war admitted this. “I pulled the trigger of war,” said ex-#FSB officer #Igor_Girkin (#Strelkov). One of the separatist commanders was advisor to the president of the #Russian_Federation #Glazyev. In 2014, paratroopers from #Russia were detained on the territory of #Ukraine.
