Crimean Tatars prevented Moscow from staging a coup without open invasion 11 years ago and have faced savage repression ever since. Acceptance of Russia’s occupation of any part of Ukraine would be a betrayal and dangerous

The only likely reason for holding Ruslan Mambetov incommunicado for over a month is that the FSB wanted to extract 'confessions' through torture in order to concoct yet another such 'treason' trial

Putin has ‘honoured’ both Anton Struyev, and his 15th Separate Motor Rifle Brigade, other members of which are accused of sexually assaulting a 4-year-old child and gangraping her mother in occupied Kyiv oblast
