Two Tauruses obsessed with money and power... or so the stars said in our new investigation with @christogrozev. I’d never imagine I end up a Russian propagandist, but thanks to Christo I finally got the chance. Learn how Putin’s tarot army operates: watch our new investigation

Please share our work. This shows how the Russian regime works now: it has no red lines.

In our new investigation into Russia's use of children for their military drone program, crucial evidence came from @tashurkevich's undercover phone calls. Here are some of the most striking confessions she extracted.

Dear @christogrozev and I did an investigation on how Russian kids help make weapons for the war in Ukraine. Big thanks to @Dobrokhotov @the_ins_ru for the help! Link to the video is here. m.youtube.com/watch?v=fyGdDK… If you have anything that could help with future investigations,

When @christogrozev and I were investigating, many people told me exactly this: it all started with simple questions like ‘how to deliver water by drone’. That’s how adults slowly pull kids into the Russian war machine. m.youtube.com/watch?v=fyGdDK…

Thread 🧵 1. This week we received a reply from one of the contests featured in our investigation with @christogrozev on how Russia involves children in its war machine. Prior to releasing the video, we asked them 7 direct questions.

Just keeping you updated on the literary adventures of Belarus’s Ministry of Information. Latest entry to the banned books list: Iron Curtain — The Crushing of Eastern Europe by @anneapplebaum . Someone there clearly read it and got a little too inspired.

Belarusian Ministry of Information banned “Gulag” by @anneapplebaum . This is what book burning looks like nowadays. It seems that it will take forever for the "Ministry of Truth" to read “Autocracy, Inc” with a direct reference to Lukashenka's regime.

Yes, it was obvious. But. Thanks to the call between security forces I got, Lukashenko really has nothing to say now

5/5. And as the cherry on top, they added: “All projects address the Big Challenges outlined in the Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation.” That strategy was approved by Putin. So I guess Putin says it’s fine to trick kids into building

If you don’t know who’s set to re-elect himself as Belarus’s dictator on January 26, read my new cover story for @POLITICOEurope . Based on phone calls, I gathered evidence showing how the man who jails the Belarusians hypocritically weaponises migrants for his games. #Belarus

Thank you. I listened to you in London recently at Chatham House - glad that you have an understanding of what Putin and Lukashenko really want and that they need to respond sharply. It’s good to know that there are politicians who really understand this.
