What happened in Donetsk in 2014 ? A 🧵 of excerpts from the book: "Ukraine, War, Love: a Donetsk Diary" by Olena Stiazhkina 👇 1/n "In March 2014, Russians came into Donetsk and Luhansk—or rather they drove in from Russian oblasts just across the border—dressed up as “protesters.” In April, the Russians were no longer cautious or circumspect; they came in as armed special forces. In August, before the battle of Ilovaisk, Russians came in openly, as regular soldiers. The catastrophe of occupation unfolded gradually, hour by hour, day by day. That’s probably why, at first, we couldn’t believe it; then we couldn’t stop it." a.co/dcpAUav

S&P 500 futures and oil futures flashed an unusual burst of activity early Monday minutes before a market-moving social media post from President Donald Trump. The timing of the volume spikes across both equities and crude caught the attention of traders, particularly given the absence of an obvious catalyst at the moment they occurred.

Fellas, I recorded a lot of Kremlin-pushed Russian footage tonight, and I think not only most of you, but also a lot of intelligence agencies, should see it… but the problem is my visibility is low. So can I ask all of you to boost my posts tomorrow? I promised myself I’d go to bed before midnight (1 minute left!) so it’ll have to wait until tomorrow. 😕 Good night, darlings! If you see me posting comments after midnight, please shame me for breaking a promise to myself.

⚡️ A top Russian spy was arrested in Colombia after his secret assassination plot was exposed because he used Google Translate to communicate with a hitman.

BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market. In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time. The trader seemingly made huge gains. Unusual.

$1.5 BILLION. Let me say it again - a $1.5 BILLION BET. Bigger than any futures purchases made at the time. 5 minutes before Trump's post. Who was it? Trump? A family member? A White House staffer? This is corruption. Mind blowing corruption.

WOW. There is a HUGE Special Operations Deployment arriving in the Mid East. The seizure of Kharg and Hormuz Island is almost 100% going ahead. We don’t deploy this for nothing. Army Ch-47 Helicopters 160th SOAR MH-60 helicopters Units fm: Both 1st & 2nd Batt 75th Rangers 5th SF Group US Army Delta Force SEAL TEAM-6 Centcom task force USAF 621st “Devil Raiders” contingency response team (runway repair) 82nd Airborne already likely deployed. Ovda Airbase in Israel is near the Elat on the Red Sea and is empty & full of hard shelters. King Faisal in Al-Jafr Jordan is a huge base used by USSOF before. It’s close to KATSOC training facility for work ups. With Tripoli MEU inchopping the Gulf of Oman on Friday this is a huge force for multiple Islands & locations, not just Kharg. They intend to take and repair one runway (Kharg). This force is not leverage. This is a commitment to take action.

We say: Ukraine won’t surrender its territory or its people to Russian genocide. People hear: Ukraine “doesn’t want peace.” Russian propaganda is massive. Even when support for Ukraine is basic common sense - moral, strategic, logical - journalists, activists, and public figures are forced to keep explaining basic facts. So me and Marichka Hlyten (@marichkahlyten) we put together the most common talking points. Please share, use it & explain to friends/family - and follow us for more 😉🙏 We do need your boost.

Zaporizhzhia right now‼️ Russia struck an apartment building with a drone. At least one person has been confirmed killed in the attack, and at least three others were injured. First responders are currently working at the scene.

Dear Twitter followers: my friend and colleague @panyiszabolcs is under attack by Viktor Orban’s camp for exposing how Hungary’s foreign minister conspires with Sergei Lavrov to promote pro-Russian politics not just in Hungary but other countries in Europe. Szabolcs brings receipts in the form of transcribed phone calls (see below). This comes at a pivotal time, with Hungary facing a national election in less than two weeks and Orban trailing far behind @magyarpeterMP.

“This is something that I don't think has ever happened in EU history,” said Andrea Palasciano [@AfPalasciano], Bloomberg’s foreign, security, and defense policy correspondent, highlighting Hungary’s unprecedented move as Viktor Orbán backed out of an agreed EU deal on Ukraine, breaking top-level consensus amid elections and Kyiv’s urgent financial needs.

Friends, as you know, I was recently forced to close my Etsy shop. Unfortunately, because of this, there are almost no orders now. ​I continue to create jewelry, and all the current availability and prices are now here, on my Instagram: instagram.com/ukrainian_jewe… ​You can order or ask a question by simply writing to me in a private message (DM)📩 ​Thank you to everyone who supports small Ukrainian brands at this time! Your every order or even a like now has a huge meaning.💙💛🫂

Wtf is wrong? I get dеаth and rаре thrеаts, Twitter: “no violation found.” Meanwhile:

Margarita Simonyan's career was launched by spreading disinformation regarding the number of hostages during the 2004 Beslan school siege. While on the ground as a state reporter, she repeatedly broadcasted the official claim that there were only 354 hostages, despite knowing the number exceeded 1,100. This deliberate downplaying of the crisis’s scale is widely viewed as a loyalty test she passed for the Kremlin, leading to her appointment as the head of RT just a year later at the age of 25. In the 2004 Beslan school siege, a total of 334 people died, including 186 children. Most of the victims perished during the chaos of the third day, following explosions in the gym and the subsequent storming of the building by russian security forces.

⚡️Magyar received 18 years in a high-security penal colony. One minute of hype – the scapegoat has been chosen. Today, a Rostov “court” added another 18 years of strict-regime time to Magyar, on top of previous sentences. This time – for “terrorism” against pour houses (fuel and energy infrastructure) deep in the swamps. A ceremonial night fire show by the Birds of the USF, together with other deep-strike units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, at the Transneft–Primorsk oil terminal in Leningrad region landed as the cherry on top. Reuters reports the port is “tired.” What can you do – a pity. A pity that exports from nearby Ust-Luga have been restored. Though not necessarily for long. Primorsk, meanwhile, will be taking a break for an indefinite period. Enjoy the symmetry of war. And already on March 25, another Moscow court is summoning and will consider “liquidation of war correspondents” and “remote mining.” Another +25 years guaranteed. An interesting cascading practice – at this rate, 500 years isn’t far off. To the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation: the link to the online scoreboard is under every post. Current traffic – 50 million visits per month. You could at least compile everything in one place – you’re wasting a lot of paper. Current daily “crime” rate against the invaders who came to our land in March: 1,184 unique targets per day. 329 enemy personnel per day in March so far – already 7,500+ “yoblyks.” We’ll hit 10,000 for sure – still a long eight days of March ahead.

The European Commission wants Budapest to explain explosive allegations that the Hungarian foreign minister shared information from confidential talks with other EU member countries with Moscow. politico.eu/article/europe…

HODGES: We are still launching Patriots against Shaheds. And Trump couldn’t even be poised enough to say, "You know, maybe Zelenskyy does have some cards, and let’s accept his offer to help," instead of saying, "No, we have the best drones already." That's not helpful.

€32 to go to get 50%🌝

5 minutes before Trump’s announcement: * $1.5B notional worth of S&P500 (ES) futures are bought in a single clip. * $192M notional of oil futures (CL) sold. More than 4x-6x any other trade size during the market close. Insiders profited from his lies in broad daylight!
