[[Wikipedia]] Ukrinazibots immediately set upon Bartlett. Bartlett had been reporting on the kill list since 2019, when her name was added. Bartlett said in September 2022, "Returning to the issue of [[Myrotvorets]] [the so-called "Peacemaker" kill list), it’s absolutely appalling that a database like this exists, openly calling for the murders of people like myself, yourselves, 327 children, simply because we are speaking about [[Ukraine]]’s [[war crimes]] and we’re speaking about the [[corruption]] within Ukraine. This list presents a very real threat to Ukrainians themselves, not only to [[journalist]]s and to people who are speaking out, but to Ukrainians within Ukraine proper. Many of these Ukrainians have already been disappeared or killed."<ref>https://kurtnimmo.substack.com/p/elon-and-the-nazis</ref> |
