🧵1: Google updated maps of Mariupol, the images are horrifying. For over 3 years russian occupiers have closed off the city. war crimes covered up, evidence erased. In the outskirts; terrifying amounts of rapidly growing unmarked mass graves! A 🧵👇🏼

I’ve never seen someone work the zoom so perfectly.. One thing is the words being said, another is the look on someone’s face that can tell a whole other story on its own… Like when someone has been caught red handed. https://t.co/qiWJGdANs2

8: little of this is surprising when knowing the history these people have with russians, and russias expertise in corruption & exploitation of greed. But it’s vital that the extent of it is laid out, for everyone to see. You can’t trust what such people are selling, when they
1: Let’s talk about Steve Witkoff, because I think the narrative of him being a “useful idiot” is a dangerous trap to walk in. It’s darker than that. Witkoff has spent three decades swimming in russian money, russian mob circles, and russian real-estate pipeline. A thread 🧵

7: The most sickening part about this is knowing that while Ukrainians are fighting with their lives to defend their nation & people, a small group of wealthy insiders together with the aggressor of this war, are treating Ukraine as a bargaining chip for their own wealth & ego.

6: Another detail telling of Witkoff’s closeness to russia is the contrast of his many meetings with them v.s his consistent reluctant to even speak to EU representatives on the matter. Not only saying “I’m too busy” then dip off to Ibiza, but when asked by a European official

5: The article mentions Witkoffs meetings with Putin, and his many talks with Dmitriev about: • Territorial concessions • Energy & business cooperation • A future U.S.–russian economic zone Shaping a partnership with war criminals & selling it as a “Peace Plan”.

3: WSJ reports that according to security officials, russias aim towards the U.S has been to shift Washington’s focus from deterrence to investment & divide the U.S. from Europe. Simply put; “Support our looting & you’ll get parts of it. Ignore our war crimes & we’ll pay you”

2: Not about peace. Not about justice, accountability, or security. It was about making U.S billionaires & russian blood money “friends with benefits”. Not for the sake of “peace” Not for Ukraine. Not for Europe. Not for America. For the bank accounts of the 0.00034%

1: The “Peace plan” was never about peace, it’s about greed. U.S billionaires Witkoff & Kushner, met with Putins lapdog Kirill Dmitriev in Miami to create a business plan on how to become wealthier together & Make America russias Partner in Crime. 👇🏼 https://t.co/hmr1hupHwm

The Kremlin pitched the White House on peace through business. To Europe’s dismay, the president and his envoy are on board.

This is absurd - sign a deal before you know what the deal is. It's time to exclude the clowns in this corrupt White House from the peace process altogether: Europe should set up its own negotiating team and take over the process. The issue is ultimately European security,
The US insists that a peace agreement must be reached first, and only then will security guarantees for Ukraine be discussed, — Politico Marco Rubio has already informed European partners that Trump is prepared to discuss Ukraine's long-term security, but only after an agreement

The Witkoff/Ushakov call "reaffirms how strongly Mr Witkoff is trying to help Russia," says Ukraine's fmr FM @DmytroKuleba "That 28-point plan is a list of Russian ultimatums...The situation is completely different now & I think we can bury the 28-point plan...it's discredited."
