🧵🚨 Vladimir Osechkin, recipient of #FSBletters from #WindofChange, has published interviews with Putin-pardoned convicts who contacted him to disclose the war crimes they committed under #WagnerPMC leadership in #Ukraine.
Executions of children:
304
UPDATE 2: It appears an entire Russian battalion based out of #Saratov was annihilated with this precision strike.
Rumors non-dead Russian military commanders involved in planning the party are intending to commit suicide.
Location only 12 miles from Ukrainian military positions.

#Russia: Putin signed a decree for state-takeover of companies that fail to fulfill defense contracts in case of #MartialLaw. However, the decree language makes it possible for the seizure of corporations even without martial law.
311
Russia: Man detonated an IED upon Russian spetsnaz's attempt to arrest him in Yeysk.
Things are really turning haywire in Russia these days.
312
43 busloads of #WagnerPMC mercenaries & recruited prisoners have been transported to #Zaporizhzhia direction accompanied by Wagner-marked black SUVs - reported by Ukrainian mayor of currently #Russia-occupied #Melitopol Ivan Fedorov.
313
With rumors that President of #Turkey, #Erdogan is livid that #Putin unsurprisingly didn't keep his word on the humanitarian corridor in the Black Sea, this may be a bigger turning point in the West's actions toward #Russia. twitter.com/Hromadske/stat…
314
#Putin's high heels. 👠
Could they really be 6 inches? 😳
315
316
Ukrainian Air Force has announced that dozens of their pilots are now ready to operate the F-16s. I would not expect a public announcement to precede F-16s suddenly appearing above the battlefield. Would be a monumental secret to keep, but if there is will there is a way.
317
Ukraine has been able to successfully strike Russian fuel tanks 3 nights in a row now. Latest one is in Krasnodar, again across the Kerch bridge from Crimea like last night, but even deeper into Russia.
319
320
When Putin's fascist police arrived, they handcuffed the parents, Olesya & Alexei Ovchinnikov, and held them down flat on the floor of the restaurant for over an hour before taking them to jail, according to eyewitnesses.
321
#Russia: Putin reportedly headed to the Kremlin with some urgency at 10pm. Unusual.
322
President Zelenskyy on the liberation of #Kherson: "The Russian army has left behind the same atrocities as in other regions" ... "every murderer will be found and brought to justice."
Mass graves already discovered. English subtitles.
323
In 1933, an estimated 5-7 million Ukrainians were exterminated through orchestrated starvation by #Stalin. Bodies filled streets. Genocide known as #Holodomor. Stalin then repopulated those areas with Russians.
#Ukraine has no choice but to persevere through darkness & cold now.
324
Unless there's a shift in the West's policy in arming #Ukraine right now, we will be faced with 2 possible scenarios this Summer:
1) Pretend to be shocked as Putin takes over Ukraine.
2) NATO enters Ukraine, which should've happened prior to Feb 24 2022.
Which one will we pick?
325
Russia in a panic: Russians arguing over who fled their positions first - Wagner or the 72nd Russian army brigade, is the kind of discourse no one expected on Feb 24 2022. Reporting by @NicRobertsonCNN.
