‼️Georgia puts 300 members of the Georgian Legion fighting for Ukraine on the wanted list

The special services of Georgia, following the Russian authorities, put Georgian volunteers who fought on the side of Ukraine on the wanted list.

According to Mamuka Mamulashvili, a commander of the Georgian National Legion fighting for Ukraine, about 300 people from the combat unit he led were put on the wanted list in Georgia. Most of them are now in Ukraine.

“I foresaw this development after Russia started putting us on the wanted list. This was done so that the Georgian government would have grounds to arrest us. Russian and Georgian Special Services are working in sync today. Many of our guys who were returning to Georgia were advised by the Georgian special services to leave. They were told: “There are a lot of Russians here, we will not be able to protect you anymore, we ask you to leave,” Mamulashvili says.

In June, a Russian court recognized the Georgian Legion as a terrorist organization. Russia’s Investigative Committee brought more than 70 members of the Legion to justice in absentia and put Mamuka Mamulashvili on the wanted list.

At the same time, the State Security Service of Georgia also began summoning other Georgian volunteers who participated in the defense of Ukraine as part of other units for interrogation.

At least two volunteers, Nadim Khmaladze and Lasha Chigladze, were notified of being summoned to court.

Khmaladze posted on his social media that he had been charged under articles on coup d’etat and terrorism. Chigladze was also summoned to the Tbilisi City Court as part of the investigation into the coup d’état and “preparation of terrorism”.

The russians' only goal is to destroy Ukrainian identity: the photographer told The Guardian about communication with Ukrainians who survived enemy captivity.

Photographer Zoya Shu documented the experiences of people captured or kidnapped from Ukraine by the russians. She spoke with victims from both the 2014 conflict and those affected by the full-scale invasion. Shu shared their stories with journalists.

One of the most striking photos in the series is of Bohdan Serhiyets, a resident of occupied Donetsk, who had a swastika carved into his back by a separatist in 2014, accusing him of "Nazism."

Another photo features Aiden Aslin, a British volunteer captured in April 2022 while fighting for Ukraine. He and his colleague, Sean Pinner, who were threatened with death, reported being beaten, stabbed, and electrocuted.

Other survivors recounted sexual assault and rape by the occupiers. Many victims struggle to recover from their ordeals, even years after their release.

Hunger was another method of torture. Boris, a former prisoner, lost 45 kg during two years in captivity and was so weak upon his return that he couldn't walk. He described how beatings and other tortures were deliberately filmed by the russians. Some of his cellmates did not survive.

Former prisoners were also forced to sing the russian national anthem and recite "patriotic" poems and songs. Torture was used to coerce Ukrainians into agreeing with distorted historical facts favoring imperial russia. Shu noted that a soldier from western Ukraine who did not speak russian received additional punishment.

🚁 One in Samara, two near Moscow: three helicopters burned down in russia

💥 On July 24, 2024, a Mi-8 military multipurpose helicopter burned down at the airfield "Kryaz" in the city of Samara, russia.

✔️ And a few days earlier, on July 21, 2024, two more helicopters of the aggressor state - an attack Mi-28 and a multi-purpose Ka-226 - were hit by fire in the Tomilino settlement near Moscow.

📍 The indicated two boards were located on the territory of the russian "National Center for Helicopter Construction of Mil and Kamov".

🛠 This military aviation enterprise of the aggressor state is engaged in the development, production and repair of helicopters.

🔧 The structure of the center includes two design bureaus, experimental production, an experimental research complex and a testing center.

❗️ Destroyed and damaged russian helicopters were used by the aggressor in the war against Ukraine.
Local residents of Samara, Tomilino and the neighboring Moscow suburbs were very embarrassed by the explosions, but the russian authorities are trying to hide the causes and consequences of the noise and fire.

🇺🇦 Glory to Ukraine!

In an interview with "Suspilne," Timothy Snyder, a historian and professor at Yale University, stated that russia is aware it will lose without its influence in the West. He highlighted that russian propaganda focuses significantly on individuals they consider allies, such as Donald Trump, Nigel Farage, and Marine Le Pen. russia supports and promotes these figures in the West, who, in turn, inadvertently further russian interests.

Snyder clarified that he does not claim all these individuals are directly russian agents, but emphasized that russia relies heavily on Western domestic politics, particularly American politics, for its strategies. He suggested that until January 2025, when the next U.S. president will be inaugurated, russia will likely avoid serious discussions about peace.
