『La colonizzazione russa』 di @DrAnnaOdesa 🇺🇦✡️🩺 (adattamento ITA)...

"Donbas or areas heavily populated by Russians"

You are FUCKING kidding me. Before the Russian occupation, there WERE NO areas in Ukraine "heavily populated by Russians"!

All people living in Ukraine are UKRAINIANS. It doesn't matter what language they speak. If someone from Russia gets US citizenship, he (she) becomes an AMERICAN, it doesn't matter if he (she) speaks any other language!

I am a Russian-speaking citizen of Ukrainian Mariupol (Donetsk region), but that doesn't make me Russian. I am Russian-speaking because the Soviets in the past carried out a complete Russification of our region. But that didn't make us Russian.

Today, out of 500,000 residents of Mariupol, only about 100,000 people live in the occupied city. Most of them are elderly.

About 50,000 were killed by Russia during the occupation. And most of the rest fled from the occupation to the territory under the control of Ukraine or to foreign countries. And now Russia is replacing our native citizens with foreigners from Russian territory, as the Russian Empire did all the time.

Russia is simply occupying and stealing our land, our homes, and the American government justifies it by repeating what Russian propaganda says!
How low...

P.S. We understand that today we do not have enough forces to get our homes back. But we will never recognize our lands and our homes as Russian!

This is a very complicated subject. But I think it's important to point out the russian method here. It's the following:
1) Exterminate the bravest, the most virtuous and strong people within an ethnic group.
Anyone who can potentially oppose them.
2) Jail/deport/replace a big portion of the population that detests them and is still resisting in more passive ways.
3) Beat the rest into comformity by terror and making an example of everyone who resists.
4) Reward the absolute scum (which exist in every nation/ethnic group) of the society who will sell their mother out with no qualms. Elevate them to the positions of power and use them as their vassals.
5) Enforce russian propaganda and re-write history, repress local culture/language, russification.
6) Keel them poor, drunk and desperate.
7) Keep this up for a generation or two.

The result:
Absolute and total degradation of the very moral fiber of that nation/ethnic group. Damn near irreparable damage to culture/values.
Apathy, nihilism and hopelessness. "Little russian" syndrome.

This is not me excusing minorities in russia by the way, they tend to commit the absolute horrid crimes against Ukrainians. Interview literally any POW and they will tell you who treated them with utmost brutality. But this does not come out of nowhere. It has nothing to do with genetics.
It has everything to do with russia's systematic destruction of these ethnic groups that has been perpetrated against them for decades, sometimes centuries.
We should understand this better than most, as Ukrainians, since we have experienced this on our own skin.

That being said, may they all meet their ends swiftly here 🙃

thanks to generations of russian imperial propaganda, many abroad are confused about what it means to be a russian. many think it is an ethnicity or even a race. when in fact it is an imperial and political identity of a colonizer, inseparable from the superiority complex

In 2022 Russia started heavily investing into rebuilding Mariupol and turning it into a "Russian paradise". Since then, they've been encouraging Russian businesses and citizens to move there.

A little thread🧵 on Russian settler colonialism in Mariupol:

THREAD Russia sends hundreds of its school and kindergarten teachers to occupied Ukraine in order to fulfill genocide of Ukrainians. Exactly as the RU soldiers, these people come to UKR with their hate against Ukrainians. RU Novaya newspaper talked to them. Read their testimonies

“A Ukrainian is a Russian with schizophrenia” “Either we cure or destroy”
🧵

Russian blogger Kirill Fedorov’s interview reveals Ukrainians in occupied areas are kidnapped for speaking Ukrainian.

Don’t trust russian invaders when they say Donetsk wanted to be russia
Donetsk didn’t want that
Donetsk was forced to by torture and executions.

There are some fundamental reasons why Ukraine is being used as a shield against Russia and not treated as an ally by the US and Europe. These reasons are deeply ingrained in culture and psyche, and aren't a product of everyday politics.

A 🧵

Everyone needs to hear this about Ukraine.

This war is not about any US politics, global secret sociates, or an old grudge. Russia wishes to kill, torture, and destroy all of Ukraine - Simple as.

Ukraine is not fighting for land, resources, or loot. Ukraine and Ukrainians fight to save their countrymen.
@UkrainianAna says it best.

Il regime russo ha fissato la data dell’inizio della deportazione forzata degli ucraini dai territori occupati - 10 settembre 2025. Entro quella data i cittadini ucraini devono prendere il passaporto russo, o andarsene da casa loro, per lasciarla agli occupanti.

In Crimea, a russian woman attacked a Crimean Tatar woman with threats because of her Crimean Tatar flag in the car.

This is a great example of how ordinary russians treat the indigenous population of Crimea.

Part 3: The Grey Cardinal-The Art of Surkov

We briefly discuss the hybrid tactics of the founding father of Putins "Sovereign Democracy" and the architect of "Managed Nationalism": Vladislav Surkov medium.com/@donbassamizda…

As a kid, I asked my parents to enrol me in all sorts of schools, including Sunday school at this "Ukrainian" church (yes, we had exams on catechism and liturgics, and I got a diploma). And I can tell you, there's nothing Ukrainian about this church except its location🧵

Earlier this month, Italian cities saw a pro-Russian billboard campaign: “Russia is not our enemy” was written on billboards that also depicted an Italy-Russia handshake. The billboards also called on stopping to provide money for “weapons for Ukraine and Israel”. 1/15

NATO expansion and Nuland 🐂💩 explained

Many of you miss the main point and fall into the Kremlin's chaotic time travel. Order of events matters.

Let's fix it all in one go. 💁‍♂️🧵

21 Nov 2013 - Euromaidan protests began after Yanukovych broke his promise to sign the EU Association Agreement, suddenly turning away from Europe towards the Kremlin’s "trade union"—the exact opposite of his election program.

17 Dec 2013 - russia’s Ministry of Defence published a tender to make medals "For the Return of Crimea" with the date of operation on it "20.02.14 - 18.03.14". It was before Maidan escalated, before Yanukovych fled, and even before the "Nuland" nonsense.

2 Feb 2014 - Several russian military aircraft transported unauthorized personnel to airbases at Kacha, Gvardiyske, and Khersones.

20 Feb 2014 - russian troops killed the first Ukrainian serviceman in Crimea, marking the actual start of military aggression.

21 Feb 2014 - Yanukovych signed an agreement with opposition leaders (guaranteed by the EU) to hold early elections and reform the constitution. He fled the country later that night.

22 Feb 2014 - Parliament unanimously voted (328-0) to remove Yanukovych for abandoning his duties. Even members of his own Party of Regions supported the motion. Oleksandr Turchynov, as Speaker of Parliament, was appointed acting president. No parties in parliament were changed during this process.

25 May 2014 - Presidential elections were held in Ukraine. Petro Poroshenko was elected president with 55% of the vote.

27 Feb 2014 - russian "unidentified green men" seized the Parliament in Simferopol, Crimea, in an armed coup. This was followed by a naval blockade operation on 3-6 Mar.

12 Apr 2014 - russian special forces without insignia seized key locations in Slovyansk and Kramatorsk, marking the start of the war in Donbas.

14 Jul 2014 - First russian border crossing into eastern Ukraine (Donbas) along with cross-border artillery attacks.

17 Jul 2014 - Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 was shot down by a russian BUK missile over Donbas, killing 298 civilians. Later on 17 Nov 2022, a Dutch court convicted Igor Girkin (Strelkov), Sergey Dubinsky, and Leonid Kharchenko for their roles in the MH17 attack. All were linked to russian intelligence.

5 Sep 2014 - Minsk Protocol signed: A ceasefire agreement between Ukraine, russia, and separatists, mediated by OSCE. russia never upheld it.

23 Dec 2014 - Ukraine's parliament voted to repeal the country's non-aligned status and work towards NATO membership. And so "NATO expansion" nonsense was born.

24 Jan 2015 - Russian-backed forces shelled Mariupol with Grad rockets, killing 31 civilians — one of many ceasefire violations.

12 Feb 2015 - Minsk II signed, attempting to revive peace efforts, but violations continued.

---

Between 2014 and 2022, Ukraine held about 200 rounds of talks with Russia.

During this period, 20 cease-fire agreements were reached, all of which were quickly violated by Russia.

None of the 200 rounds of talks or the 20 ceasefires have prevented Putin from launching a brutal all-out invasion of Ukraine on February 24th, 2022.

- Dmytro Kuleba, Ukrainian politician and diplomat

Russia invaded Ukraine because Ukraine was moving towards European integration and away from Moscow’s control, threatening Putin’s imperial ambitions.

After Ukrainians ousted pro-Kremlin president Yanukovych in 2014, russia illegally annexed Crimea and launched a covert war in Donbas, failing to force Ukraine back under its influence.

When that didn’t work, russia escalated to a full-scale invasion in 2022, using false claims of NATO expansion and “denazification” to justify its war against Ukrainian sovereignty.

Meanwhile, Zelensky wasn’t leading a country — he was leading a comedy troupe, starring in Kvartal 95, voicing Paddington Bear, and playing on TV. He was Democratically elected in 2019 - ironically, he was convinced back then that we could negotiate with russia.

But vatniks and US officials still blame him for russia’s invasion. Fascinating how poorly prepared imported Kremlin bots are.

Dear #NAFO Fellas,
I will leave sources below, probably in chaotic order. Please, let me know if you have anything to add or if you have any questions.

Glory to Ukraine! 🫡❤️‍🔥🇺🇦

This is Maidan Nezalezhnosti - Independence Square - in Kyiv, Ukraine, where on this day, 10 years ago, a Revolution of Dignity - Euromaidan or just Maidan as we call - it had really fully started

And I was part of it

@KanekoaTheGreat @joerogan @MikeBenzCyber "Eastern" Ukrainian here (russian speaking). 👋

No person ever died in Ukraine before the russian invasion in 2014. Nobody tried to kill me but russians, since they entered my home city in tanks.

Are those guys lying intentionally or just misinformed?

As a Russian-speaking person of color who was born and raised in Ukraine, I believe that I am in a position to speak on the issue of nationalism and neo-Nazism in Ukraine. A long thread 👇

Part 2: The Separation of Dignity.

We painstakingly detail the rampant crime & banditry of the Russian "Separatists". Where Ortho & Neo Nazis & far right fascists were much more involved in the conflict & in much greater numbers than anything in Ukraine medium.com/@donbassamizda…

Your regular reminder that Russia blew up the Kakhovka dam

I’m proud I told Europe what’s true. The truth is that Russia is attempting to create a migration crisis for Europe by spreading disinformation to encourage Africans to travel through the Mediterranean and by using private militias to control and weaponise immigration into Europe

Signs That You're Looking at Ukraine Through a Russian Prism 👇

One of the FIRST things Russia did after invading Crimea and Donbas in 2014 was to hold public book burnings of all Ukrainian language texts from libraries, govt offices, and schools. Ukrainian was ELIMINATED from govt use, banned, and was stopped being taught in schools.

when foreigners casually drop ‘bombing of kyiv’ these pics always come to mind. this is what #RussianColonialism did to chechnya and grozny when they tried to leave the empire in 2000. a war crime of horrific scale, but the rest of the world was like ‘meh’, so moscow continued
