◾Katya from Kharkov has received death threats for the videos she makes about Ukraine:

- “I was added to Myrotvorets because I compared a village in Kharkov and Belgorod regions.”

- they published my personal data in the telegram channels of the Right Sector and on Myrotvorets.

- People are literally bullied for their opinions. Certain laws of Ukraine violate the UN Convention on Human Rights. And you call it a democracy?

- Note: there are 327 children on Myrotvorets list of enemies of the Ukrainian state.

Washington Post, Deutsche Welle, The Times: Doxing the enemies of the state. Official Open Ukraine Database, 2014

2014, Anton Gerashenko (Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs, and MP) presented a website: Mirotvorets (Myrotvorets or Peacemaker in english). This website doxes journalist, media figures of Ukraine and foreign citizenship which according to Gerashenko are terrorist, enemies of Ukraine. Here is a list of articles concerning this open official DB of the enemies of the Ukraine state:

◼️ Washington Post: Ukrainian hackers publish info on thousands of journalists, 2016
quote:
“A letter signed by about 40 Ukrainian and foreign journalists said that some of those on the list had received threatening emails and phone calls, while a broader concern was that some Ukrainian politicians were now calling for the journalists to be considered “enemies of Ukraine” and barred from working in the country.”

◼️ Deutsche Welle: Gerhard Schröder labeled ‘enemy of the state’ in Ukraine, 2018

◼️ The New York Times: Branded a ‘Terrorist’ for Reporting Two Sides of Ukraine’s War, 2016

◼️ The Times (UK): Ukraine’s blacklist: Killers, lawyers, writers and spies, 2022

◼️ The Daily Beast: Ukraine Tries to Terrify Journalists Who Cover the War, 2017
quote:
The first targets for the trolls unleashed by the Myrotvorets were Ukrainian journalists. Freelance reporter Roman Stepanovich received a message on his email: “Let you die, a separatist beach! Glory to Ukraine!”
Yekaterina Sergatskova, an anchor at Hramadske TV, felt frustrated: “Now they accuse us of ‘helping the terrorists,’” she told The Daily Beast. “This is a project curated by the Security Service of Ukraine and praised by Anton Geraschenko [at the Interior Ministry]. He was the one who originally initiated that project.”

◼️ Interfax Ukraine: OSCE Representative Mijatovich expresses concern about journalists’ safety in Ukraine, 2016

A bit of a context:

◼️ In April 2015, Myrotvorets published the home addresses of Ukrainian writer Oles Buzina and former Verkhovna Rada parliamentarian Oleg Kalashnikov, just days before they were assassinated.

◼️ Andrea Rocchelli, an Italian journalist murdered by the Ukrainian army in 2014 during the Donbas war, has been filed on the site. In Rocchelli’s file, on whose photo the Myrotvorets Center has applied the red writing superimposed “Liquidated”, there is a note stating that the photojournalist was “cooperating with pro-Russian terrorist organizations” and that he had violated the border of state of Ukraine to enter the territory occupied by “Russian terrorist gangs”.

◼️ In 2018, Svetlana Alexievich, Nobel Prize in Literature, received threats from local nationalists and had to cancel a meeting with readers in the Green Theater of the Ukrainian city of Odessa when her name was added to a list of “enemies of Ukraine” by the Myrotvorets for “propagating interethnic discord and manipulating information important for society”.

◼️On 11 October 2018, Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said: “It is a lie that the Ukrainian state has nothing to do with the website that is listing suspected dual Ukrainian-Hungarian nationals”, and claimed that President Petro Poroshenko “gave his consent to the hate campaign in an attempt to increase his popularity”

“failed to defeat that Great Power”

More like Russia failed to defeat Ukraine, proving it’s not much of a “Great Power” anymore.

“I guess one only has to look into a situation enough to properly determine -— who is the real rapist?”

It’s not really that hard. The one who was minding their own business until they were attacked is not the rapist. See? Not too hard.

The idea that they were minding their own business is the most amusing thing I have read today.

Both Hollande and Merkel have admited the Minsk peace agreements were lies, intended to give Ukraine time to prepare for war with Russia.

The US, Brits and French were in Ukraine training their military for about years.

“The idea that they were minding their own business is the most amusing thing I have read today.”

So, the rapee was “asking for it” then.

“Both Hollande and Merkel have admited the Minsk peace agreements were lies...”

You mean the agreements that Russia violated immediately in both cases?

“The US, Brits and French were in Ukraine training their military for about years.”

Yes, of course, since everyone knew that Russia had every intention of invading again.

I am sure the western msm tells you that. The same ones who lied every single day about Trump.
You have the freedom to believe them. I choose not to.

“What American armchair and TV generals simply cannot comprehend is that in Russia’s view of this war – which military expert Andrei Martyanov defines as a “combined arms and police operation” – the two top targets are the destruction of all military assets of the enemy while preserving the life of its own soldiers.

So while losing tanks is not a big deal for Moscow, losing lives is. And that accounts for those massive Russian bombings; each military target must be conclusively destroyed. Precision strikes are crucial.

There is a raging debate among Russian military experts on why the Ministry of Defense does not go for a fast strategic victory. They could have reduced Ukraine to rubble – American style – in no time. That’s not going to happen. The Russians prefer to advance slowly and surely, in a sort of steamroller pattern. They only advance after sappers have fully surveilled the terrain; after all there are mines everywhere.

The overall pattern is unmistakable, whatever the NATO spin barrage. Ukrainian losses are becoming exponential – as many as 1,500 killed or wounded each day, everyday. If there are 50,000 Ukrainians in the several Donbass cauldrons, they will be gone by the end of June.

Ukraine must have lost as many as 20,000 soldiers in and around Mariupol alone. That’s a massive military defeat, largely surpassing Debaltsevo in 2015 and previously Ilovaisk in 2014. The losses near Izyum may be even higher than in Mariupol. And now come the losses in the Severodonetsk corner.

We’re talking here about the best Ukrainian forces. It doesn’t even matter that only 70 percent of Western weapons sent by NATO ever make it to the battlefield: the major problem is that the best soldiers are going…going…gone, and won’t be replaced. Azov neo-Nazis, the 24th Brigade, the 36th Brigade, various Air Assault brigades – they all suffered losses of 60+ percent or have been completely demolished.

So the key question, as several Russian military experts have stressed, is not when Kiev will ‘lose’ as a point of no return; it is how many soldiers Moscow is prepared to lose to get to this point.”

No, my own eyes tell me that. Next, you’ll try to tell me my eyes are lying and the Russian flag is actually flying over the Ukrainian capitol :)

Russia, from day one, said they only want eastern Ukraine.

So there won’t be a flag.

All of Russia’s actions make perfect sense after listening to Putin’s speeches.

Poland will get western Ukraine.

“Russia, from day one, said they only want eastern Ukraine.”

Russia also said they wanted to “demilitarize” Ukraine, which doesn’t happen just seizing eastern Ukraine. And they also invaded in an attempted blitz to capture the capitol, which you do when you want to depose a government, not just capture the eastern provinces. So only a fool takes Russia at its word. You can choose to if you like, but I decline.

“Poland will get western Ukraine.”

LOLOLOL, keep dreaming.
