Ukraine's Centre for Nat Resistance: Russia is set to deport Ukrainians from the occupied territories to Siberia, presenting it as an “industrial and economic project”.
This is a repeat of Soviet-era schemes designed to deport entire communities, including Crimean Tatars, Ukrainians, and Chechens.

What stood out to me today is there has been a major shift in the media
Russia: the talk is about the war against Europe, to the point where they dismiss the fact that Ukraine exists
US: from NYT to social media, everyone is focused on “corrupt Ukraine and Zelenskyy”, putting victim at fault
