@sianushka.bsky.socialHow do you mean? What have they discovered about it?
@kateinkharkiv.bsky.socialReposted by @sianushka.bsky.socialThere are absolutely horrifying videos from the scane of the Russian strike on Kharkiv. Apartment building is not just partially collapsed, its ablaze, and it all during late evening hours when people are at home. I will share when its safe. Russia will rot in hell for this.

@sianushka.bsky.socialI didn’t win at the Anti Modern Slavery awards but I did get to go to Speaker’s House, hang out with some awesome people and lose to Amelia Gentleman which some might say is a win in itself

@sianushka.bsky.socialWhen do we get into the common fisheries policy?
@sianushka.bsky.socialAnd before someone screenshots me and criticises me for focusing on the practicals of such a plan, OF COURSE it is cruel and immoral and vicious. I spend most my life reporting on human rights abuses and a huge amount of time reporting on abuses in the immigration system - as well as far right rise
@sianushka.bsky.socialThen, how are they going to pay for the deportation flights to Afghanistan and active warzones like Sudan and Ukraine? Who is going to staff them, what happens when a plane is detained in Kabul? And obviously it’s in breach of all international law
@sianushka.bsky.socialIt’s simply not possible to do this and do what their voters want - people will still arrive and if you aren’t processing applications (see the IMA) you still need to house people before you deport them so it would mean hotels or large scale sites

@sianushka.bsky.socialIf you see any data led reporting on this can you send it my way? And vice versa… it feels like it should be true but I need graphs

@henryjfoy.ft.comReposted by @sianushka.bsky.social💥 The Trump administration has threatened European capitals that it could stop paid-for weapons shipments to Ukraine if Kyiv does not halt its deep strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, officials told @christopherjm.ft.com and me
@euanmacdonald.bsky.socialReposted by @sianushka.bsky.socialREALITY CHECK: Trump's statement is nonsense and Putin will continue attacking Ukraine's energy infrastructure - as well as schools, hospitals, bridges, and residential buildings.

@lukemcgee.bsky.socialReposted by @sianushka.bsky.socialTwo most important facts: 1) since Trump became President, attacks on Ukraine have grown substantially in volume and scale. 2) Since Trump became President the US has committed zero (yes, zero) new dollars to support Ukraine.
