These are voices of Russian soldiers confessing to their families about crimes they’ve committed in Ukraine. It’s similar to confessions from Wagner paramilitaries who’ve committed numerous human rights abuses in Africa
Fired up and ready to speak about atrocities committed by Russian paramilitaries in Africa
Contrary to what many Russian trolls want you to believe, I don’t work for the American or British government. I am simply a journalist determined to expose wrongdoings. There’s a huge effort from many Russian agents to undermine my reporting. Don’t pay attention to them.
I documented villages where civilians disappeared after encounters with Russian fighters. I spoke with kids who described torture. I walked through areas where people lived in fear. What I saw convinced me that Africa was becoming the stage for a new kind of geopolitical struggle
Russia is engineering a migration crisis for Europe, spreading disinformation across West Africa to push desperate people toward deadly Mediterranean routes, while private militias control smuggling networks in Libya. The aim is to destabilize & divide the EU. Time to counter it.
Russia has recruited thousands of young foreigners into its army to fight in Ukraine amid severe manpower shortages caused by over a million Russian troops killed or wounded. Many signed up to support their families but were misled into believing they would not see active combat
For years, I've been exposing Russia's atrocities in Africa—from Wagner's blood-soaked mines in CAR to their wars in Mali. The truth hurts, and now Russian trolls are targeting me with insults & death threats. They want me silenced. I won't be. Africa's stories deserve to be told.
Ukrainian soldiers captured a Kenyan citizen serving in the Russian army in Kharkiv Oblast. The captured Kenyan national, who claimed to be an athlete back at home, said he traveled to Russia as a tourist and was deceived into joining the Russian army.
My colleagues and I uncovered how Russia pays media outlets in West Africa as low $80 to publish disinformation that is weakening European security and undermining democracy in Africa. Soon, Europe could face a migrant crisis & Africa could be dealing with military dictatorships.

The UCP didn’t run on leaving Canada, but Danielle Smith’s rolled out the red carpet for a divisive vote on it. I’m proud to stand with my colleagues in Alberta’s New Democrats & say I’m a proud Albertan & proud Canadian who rejects separatism. Are UCP MLAs able & willing to do the same? #abpoli

Between 18–20 May 1944, #Stalin deported nearly 200,000 Crimean #Tatars from #Crimea, forcing entire families into freight wagons and sending them thousands of kilometers away, mainly to Uzbekistan. Today, #Russia again seeks to erase Crimea’s identity through occupation, repression, and propaganda.
