There’s a very funny thing happening on Twitter: by now, even the most notorious pro-Russian collaborators aren’t hiding anything anymore. They openly give interviews detailing how, in 2014, the FSB organized the invasion of a militant unit led by сolonel Igor Girkin after the seizure of Crimea, how they took over Sloviansk with funding from Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeev, how Russia directly armed, organized, and financed Russian militants and local collaborators against Ukraine in Donbas, and how it openly deployed regular troops without insignia as early as the summer of 2014 to save its proxies from defeat by the Ukrainian army and volunteer forces -- and occupied Donetsk and Luhansk. And yet, useful idiots and shameless corrupt “opinion leaders” still keep pushing the long-forgotten line about how “Nazi Ukraine” was bombing itself in Donbas for “eight years,” and that Putin unleashed the largest bloodbath in Europe since WWII to “protect the people of Donbass.”
