President Volodymyr Zelensky and his government are responding with defiance and a touch of bravado to a stream of threats from Russia as it prepares to take the provocative step of declaring parts of Ukraine to be Russian territory. https://t.co/3hLLQETh4T

Zelensky: “58,500 Russian soldiers have died in Ukraine already. They came to kill us and died. You are not being told this number, you are being lied to about the alleged death of 6,000. 58,500. That’s the truth. They all died because one person wanted this war.” https://t.co/J8gNkGggzw

Zelensky advisor Oleksiy Arestovych warns that Russia could use mobilization to launch a second offensive on Kyiv
— Samuel Ramani (@SamRamani2) September 30, 2022
Arestovych predicts it will fail even more quickly than Russia's elite unit offensive, as "no-one will allow a second Bucha"
Putin’s mobilization has had quite an effect on Russian public opinion: less than half now tell pollsters that they want the war in Ukraine to be continued. pic.twitter.com/nPEGObO8jd

Correcting Misinformation
.
Almost from the beginning of the Russian invasion against Ukraine, Russian propaganda has been repeating the lie that weapons directed by the West to UA have been sent en masse to the black market.
— Stanisław Żaryn (@StZaryn) September 29, 2022
These actions are an attempt to stop military aid from @NATO countries to UA.

. @BBC journalists have verified offers of arms sales from Ukraine and have established that these are fake news promoted by Russian propaganda for political purposes. The Kremlin scares the West by promoting theses about the dangers of military aid to UA.

International Governments and Parliaments

The United States rejects the illegitimate, fabricated outcomes of Russia’s sham "referenda" in Ukraine. This is a violation of international law. We stand in support of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
— Secretary Antony Blinken (@SecBlinken) September 29, 2022
As we remember the 1941 massacre of Jews at Babyn Yar in Ukraine, Russia’s claim that Ukraine must be “denazified” insults all who suffered, and those who bravely resisted, during the Nazi regime. Distorting the history of the Holocaust undermines efforts to prevent atrocities.

The mood of Russia's top propagandist, Vladimir Solovyov in this clip can be summed up as "Hello darkness, my old friend." He demands some victories and complains that people are running away from Russia. He also sighs. A lot. pic.twitter.com/0NNetH3hLi
