To her devoted followers, Donbas Devushka or Donbas Girl is a Russian Jew from the occupied Ukrainian city of Luhansk, who has faithfully broadcast Kremlin propaganda for months.
But in reality, she is Sarah Bils, a 37-year-old divorcee from New Jersey and a US Navy veteran who served as an aviation electronics technician at Whitby Island in Washington State.
Donbas Devushka emerged after Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine in February last year.
She built up a sizeable social media following on Twitter, Telegram and YouTube, emerging as the face of Russian propaganda, raising money and selling merchandise for the Russian cause.

(45,454 posts)Conservatives and white supremacists especially seem interested in helping Russia for some reason. Traitors. It's public knowledge that Russia has launched cyberattacks on the US and harassed US soldiers in the middle east and Navy ships in the Pacific.

I was astounded.
Anyway, re her "Using assorted pseudonyms including CheburekiVibes, MeatballSubZero, YuGopnik, GhostofLugansk, "
Looks like she's had a few too many lip injections. Might I suggest Fishlips?

(4,256 posts)there is going to be way more to this story. I find it hard to believe that some kid was just f'ng around to impress some pals but yet somehow the Russians were also getting the documents. Higher ups, middlemen cut-outs and cover stories.
Flynn's brother has been looking so dirty he shouldn't have access to the parking lot let alone anything else.

It will be interesting to find out just how much of her fundraising actually went to Russian causes and how much got diverted to her own bank account for salary and expenses.
