🧵 #Russia: Kremlin-controlled TV network NTV sent propagandist Olga Zenkova and her cameraman to the fascist-occupied Melitopol in #Ukraine. They got their story on January 17th - Zenkova was gang-raped and cameraman beaten up by #Kadyrov's terrorists at a restaurant.
On January 21st, NTV sent a complaint to "Major General of Justice" Petrenko of the Investigative Committee because local 'authorities' in occupied #Melitopol refused to open a criminal case. Russkiy Mir indeed.
@igorsushko This story is just awful. And seems to prove@everything I feel about the vile #kadyrovites. But the academic in me needs to ask: Are there other sources or data points confirming that this actually happened beyond this letter?
@igorsushko The cameraman was likely raped by Kadyrov's men too.
@igorsushko Russian soldiers are barbaric. There is no room for them in civilized society
@igorsushko This is what happens when animals are released back into the wild. I can only imagine what Ukrainians are going through in these occupied areas.
@igorsushko AFAIK the Kadyrovites’ ability to act with impunity under Putin has long been a very sore point with the FSB and other Russian authorities. There are rumors that the FSB told the Ukrainians about the Chechens’ advance on Kiev early in the war, allowing them to be wiped out.
@igorsushko Waiting for the explanation how the west is responsible for this...
@igorsushko Ukraine should carve out some budget and resources to focus on completely wiping Kadyrov out 😡
