#Veselnitskaya also attacked Canadian activists, including me, in 2015 on social media, which ended with a Duma request to have our activities investigated by Russian prosecutor General Yuri Chaika, in efforts to silence us.

Alexey Navalny wasn't afraid of Putin, and we shouldn't be either: what Canada + our allies must do to ensure Ukraine's victory and protect Russia's pro-democracy and anti-war activists.

We can only curb foreign corruption by holding Western enablers accountable. This is not helpful: Swedish authorities decline to investigate Swedbank for accounts that were used to launder $176 million linked to the Magnitsky case.

This is lock-step with Kremlin war denialism narratives. Unbelievable that a Canadian university would tolerate it @uOttawa @ukrcancongress @UCCToronto @UCC_Ott

Quite a surprise to find this morning’s Globe and Mail editorial citing our work at DisinfoWatch and backing our recommendations to address Russian information operations.

I wrote this warning about Kaspersky software 6 yrs ago- glad to see that the Canadian government finally banned its use on all federal government devices.

“Moscow insisted on the release of Kovalenko, a particularly well-known and notorious neo-Nazi”. Seems that Ukraine’s problem with far-right extremists was largely orchestrated by the Kremlin all along.

Estonia passes law that will allow frozen Russian assets to be used to rebuild Ukraine - the first law of its kind in Europe. Thank you @kajakallas @MFAestonia @vseviov @ErkiKodar @Tsahkna @markomihkelson @EerikNKross for your leadership!

We're one step closer to setting a historic precedent in Europe. Our parliament passed the first law in Europe to allow the use of Russia’s frozen assets to compensate for war damages. Hope the president will soon announce it as a law.

Ten years ago today, Sergei Magnitsky was murdered for standing up against corrupt Russian officials. We can honour his sacrifice by further implementing Canada’s Magnitsky sanctions to combat human rights abuse & to protect Canadians detained abroad

The extreme left in Canada is aggressively amplifying Russian disinformation that targets Ukrainian history. I hope that Canadian media won’t be fooled again by this anti-Ukrainian Kremlin information operation.

Proud to have co-authored this report on Kremlin information warfare targeting Canada and the illiberal far-left + far-right networks that are amplifying them.
