#Putin's goal in #Ukraine is #genocide, #ethnofascist erasure of Ukrainian #identity. #Vatniks demur and refer to some other goal or their usual "reverse victim and offender" gaslighting. #Kremlin lies and venom

Today is the birthday of #TarasShevchenko, literary linchpin of Ukrainian #culture and #language

This was in #Balakliia, 2022. The billboard is a Shevvhenko poem, of Ukraine's struggle against #imperialism, 2 centuries ago

And still today

Are the #vatniks back?

A lot of very new, very made-up accounts pushing dezinfo and both-sides bullshit that serves russian interests.

#NAFO

Starting a #war, knowing they can't possibly replace their losses. Only #Vatniks.

According to #MyLordBebo and other #vatniks, this is ‘Minor damage.’

#MariaZaitseva, 24

Maria was #Belarusian and participated in #protests in #Minsk in 2020 against #electionfraud by #Lukashenko in #Belarus

Her facial scars are from fragments of a flash grenade in the protest (I'm not linking the gory picture of her that went viral)

She volunteered as a #soldier for #Ukraine

#KIA near #Bakhmut, yesterday

#Hero

#Vatniks, #Tankies, assorted #Western "both sides the same" edgelord contrarians: 🖕🖕🖕

Learn the real struggle
