Of course the Russians are lying about Taira's ties, lyng claiming they don't have her in captivity. The AP has found no evidence that the Russians claim. She and her driver were captured 3/16. What was on the clip that she was able to smuggle out to the AP shows the truth of what the Russians have been doing there. Heartbreaking story separation of mother and child here as well. - A Ukrainian medic recorded harrowing scenes in Mariupol on a tiny bodycam. Now she is in Russian hands. via @CBSNews
Shadrin's unit hasn't lost anyone yet. Ukraine hasn't given up yet though those civilians left behind support the Russian invasion though it appears those that aid him want Shadrin to remain to defend Donbas. A conundrum indeed. - 1 big thing: On the frontlines in the Donbas #axiosworld
Sad that Shadrin's parents support what Russia is doing. They're no longer in communication. - Part II: A family divided #axiosworld
The last part that begins: "Shadrin admits that the outcome of Russia's Donbas offensive is uncertain, given the force of the Russian troops and artillery." Worth reading to see why he says this. - Part IV: "What do I want to do?" #axiosworld
Bad news for Putin. Russia is losing support from those in Russia who initially did support Russia's invasion of Ukraine, believed the lies told. We already knew many already didn't support the war, but this takes that one step further. This includes those who are fighting in the Donbas on Russia's side but aren't anymore. - Pro-war Russians are increasingly critical of the Ukraine conflict
