May 16th, 2023. Ukraine. We must say no to Fatigue of war. Recommend ARTE documentary – yes in French but worth the effort of reading the subtitles … the aim is to dig deep into Prigozhin, Wagner mercenaries, a private military army and its ambitions on the continent of Africa and involvement in Mexico. Tweets, videos of interest.

Prigozhin…some say he acts out and Putin takes credit.

This is in French but worth reading the subtitles. Prigozhin information war :  Mexico  (Lakhta).  Note the use of paid informers and Prigozhin (some say he is a poor payer and acts like a Mafia Bandit).

This is Kirill Trantin, director of #Kyiv zoo. Debris from last night’s Russian missile strike landed next to the vulture and raccoon enclosures. No animals or humans hurt. “The Russians don’t give a shit about law,” he told me. “We’ve held on for over a year. We will beat them”

There will be no “we didn’t know” for Ukraine. We know about the missile attacks on cities, the torture and rape, the kidnapped children & planned genocide. We know NOW, in real time. We could be doing everything to stop it, but are choosing not to.

Russia’s war on Ukraine is the first online genocide in human history, @Kasparov63 tells @JohnAvlon onstage at @92ndStreetY. In the past, we’d find full extent of the damage done after it was all over. Now, every night, Russian TV celebrates every war crime. 3/
