Is Ukraine banning the Ukrainian Orthodox Church? Are UOC MP priests all KGB agents in cassocks, or is this real religious persecution? Neither! In Russia's hybrid war, boundaries R blurred & everything is complex. Read this if you want to understand: https://t.co/OQSSTmPvkv

I traded my laptop for a rifle and spent 5 days learning to shoot, dig, and hide & with Ukrainian civilians preparing for "total resistance" against Russia. In Ukraine, "everyone can be a warrior." The question is, are you ready for that possibility?

Euromaidan Press @EuromaidanPress

In just 5 days, Ukrainian civilians trade their everyday lives for callsigns and learn to survive and assault enemy positions. A crash course in "total resistance" against Russian aggression https://t.co/3mkgUYDUa4

Euromaidan Press @EuromaidanPress

In 2017, we released an investigation proving Siemens could not have not known that it was shipping turbines to occupied Crimea. It took German prosecutors six years to finally charge Siemens employees - 4 Germans & 1 Swiss - for knowingly supplying the gear to build power https://t.co/93HeFyjzpT
