Those tweets are outrageous. I didn't scroll all the way through but wouldn't be shocked if there were blood libel accusations against Ukrainian Jewish people.

I looked for those tweets and cannot find them, the community notes features have been working. All I can find is the BBC reference

BBC contacted Twitter regarding those tweets, so they were probably taken down after that. However, tweets with such blatant misinformation still keep getting posted and circulated in the hellhole.
