So disappointed seeing the local rag uncritically putting Putin’s propaganda right in the headline and blurb:
That’s just really terrible journalism.

That’s verbatim from the AP feed. It probably appears that way on most regional newspapers (it does on mine).

Can they sue? Can they take it to trial? or Can they win?
Anyone can sue for anything, you just need a lawyer with a lack of scruples and a willingness to risk their law license. If you can’t find a lawyer then your not out of luck, there is a long history of Pro Se nuisance litigants filing absolutely insane legal theories.
But it’s probably not likely they can get to trial, the senators would probably try to hide behind some governmental immunity standard.
And then if it does go to trial the Ukrainians filing the suit would probably need to prove a real causal connection, which probably would involve needing to serve discover or depositions on Russian military intelligence to find out if they even used the tweets to target the attack.

Interesting, though hard to interpret without context.
One guy’s argument that if you don’t kill us, we’ll go back to Russia and tell them you’re not killers, and that will help stop this insanity… Well, maybe he’s sincere, but he could also be trying to undermine Ukrainian efforts to fight back strongly enough.
