    I’m excited to announce a new feature-length documentary project I’m working on with my co-director @apoolos about Russia’s efforts to eradicate Evangelical Christians from the map of Ukraine to impose Russian Orthodoxy as the state religion. Please support this film by donating

    I was out at a gaming get together in Kyiv last night when the Zelensky-Trump meeting was being livecast. It was all anyone was talking about obviously and each new shoe dropping was like a blow that rippled through the crowd. But then someone asked me, “doesn’t trump realize who

    Kremlin crooner Oleg Gazmanov at the pro-war rally Putin went to yesterday singing “Ukraine and Crimea, Belarus and Moldova, that is my country.” This clip was sent to me by an acquaintance in Chișinău where it’s being shared with increasing alarm.

    Gutting to hear of the death Brent Renaud in Irpin, Ukraine today. A filmmaker without parallel who was working on a global film project about refugees. My thoughts are with his brother and his friends and family.

    I was in Crimea in 2014 when Russia sent troops to take over the peninsula. I meticulously documented the war they started in Ukraine in over 100 episodes & several documentaries for VICE News. Russia has been lying about its involvement from the start.

    Ukraine is burning. Whatever measures the West brought to bear to stop Russia have failed. Ukrainians are fighting for their lives with barely any help. It’ll be a shameful day most of all in the pages of Russia’s history but also for the free world for failing to do more.

    Hey @Twitter, you are doing a terrible job policing your platform when it comes to Ukraine. You are failing. Hundreds of sock puppet accounts attack every tweet that counters the Kremlin narrative, meanwhile you fall for coordinated campaigns to suspend genuine accounts.

    Wasn’t Netanyahu supposed to be the strongman that would keep Israel safe? He’s been so busy dismantling democracy he completely missed the invasion plan. Turns out doing a coalition with extremists & making a fanatic your security minister isn’t great security policy.

    “Ukraine barely has a navy and has taken out 35% of Russia’s Black Sea fleet. Ukraine’s strikes deep into Russia have destroyed as much as 27% of Russian refining capacity. Operation Spiderweb took out $7 billion in Russian aircraft at four air bases with $100,000 in Ukrainian

    If you're going to have an argument about Ukraine on here or on TV please read this ISW factsheet first. - Zelensky does not imminently risk losing all of Ukraine. At the current rate of advance, it would take Russian forces over 83 years to capture the whole of Ukraine. -
