How Bellingcat is using TikTok to investigate the war in Ukraine

This guy (Christo Grozdev) speaks both Russian and English perfectly well. I like listening to his interviews in Russian and English. FYI: His first language is Bulgarian.

I never heard of Bellingcat. Curious about the name I searched wikipedia..."The name derives from the idiom "belling the cat", which comes from a medieval fable about mice who discuss how to make a cat harmless. One suggests hooking a bell around his neck, and all the mice support the idea but none is willing to do it."

At this point, a Russian's word is worth even less than their currency.

Outstanding...have followed their work for years.

Ruzzians: "You must look at this through a special filter " Ruzzian Filter 1: 🙈🙈🙈 Ruzzian Filter 2: 🙉🙉🙉

The Tribunal will not forget.

Bellingcat doing work. Awesome group.

Bellingcat = what incredible journalism is

Bellingcat:"So what we do is..." Intelligence organizations:"Write that down!"

Been following these guys since 2016, they're doing good work.

Bellingcat is better than Sherlock Holmes. Great investigative work, like putting a puzzle together.

I saw this earlier tonight on 60 minutes. Fabulous work piecing together video evidence 👏

Geo/Chronolocation are actually easy to learn and fun to practice! You can do these se types of investigations at home now too since Google and others have opened up previously censored sites in Ukraine and Russia!

Bellingcat is what journalism should be.

I think German policies towards Russia were defendable until 2008. There is however certainly no way to justify Germany's positions and actions since 2014, with the most glaring example being signing North Stream 2 in 2015 against outspoken opposition from most if not all eastern partners. And it is true that Germany is pretty selective in application of their historic responsibilities. There is a lot of relativity strangely well aligned with economic interests there.  In 1990 I believed we would be able to closely integrate all of Europe including Russia (that has its economic base and most of the population in Europe) and dissolve Nato within 20 years. I was wrong. In hindsight there was never really any interest in Russian elites (defined by power, there certainly was in their intellectual elites, but a good part of them just left) to modernize and liberate Russia. They recognized pretty much the moment the Sowjet Union collapsed that it was a chance to make it a pure oligarchy after having had to do all the ideological window dressing for so long. A good outcome was never really an option.

Slava Ukraini! Glory to Ukraine. My heart is breaking for the peaceful people of Ukraine. the most interesting thing to me was the statement " putin lies in an analog manner in a digital world." excuse the mistakes if any in the quote.

Bellingcat is absolutely brilliant, they've put the MSM to shame by accurately reporting on subjects that matter to all of us. No fluff, no bias, no BS.......... just fact based information for all of us to see, I've been an avid fan of Bellingcat for years. Keep up the great work BC!!!!

Russia must pay the price for what they did on ukraine...

After a battle or attack, the Ukrainian military reflects on its combat operations and works to learn from these moments so that they become more and more effective with each battle. In addition, they've spent years learning from Western military advisors, and now the Ukrainian military is also receiving tons of modern Western military vehicles and equipment. This is a winning strategy, that will see the Ukrainian military become stronger and stronger as time goes on, despite whatever losses and damage the Russian military inflicts. What does Russia do after a battle?

Great work.
