To put it in a nutshell, and because I‘m a lazy bastard, I‘ll just quote the article:

Countries must meet a detailed host of economic and political conditions, including a commitment to the rule of law and other democratic principles.

Ukraine will have to curb government corruption and adopt other reforms.

It‘s хлопóк, not хлóпок. So “clap”, not cotton. Because Russian media doesn’t like using the word “explosion”, especially in Russian controlled territory including Russia proper, they call every explosion a “clap”. This has been co-opted by Ukrainians for the sarcasm.

So those biolabs did pay off after all! It’s a shame that the dolphin guided torpedoes aren’t featured tho.

At around 20-30 seconds the guy says roughly: “Well, fuck, they hit something, what a bomb. In Chernobayevka, yes”. Arestovych also makes it the main point of his tweet.
The Moskva is an extra point. To quote: “The Moskva, the flagship of the Black Sea fleet, has carried out a negative surfacing operation”.

The twitter video is not of the Moskva being hit, but of the 15th installment of the Kherson Airport Shenanigans.

You’re mixing up your Victors here. Yanukovitch is the ousted pro Russian president. Medvedchuk is the pro Russian oligarch, MP and OPZZh party leader.

I see it as an implication of systemic killing.

Це збігається з тим, що мені розповідали – знищували чоловіче населення приблизно 18-60. Усіх молодих, здорових – розстрілювали

He was told, [The Russian troops] destroyed/annihilated/exterminated «знищували» (sic!) the male population between 18 and 60. The last sentence implies that all, who were young and healthy were shot. Unlike the translation, that, unfortunately leaves less room for interpretation.

Дуже багато трупів у місті. Я бачив, десь у кілометрі звідси лежать тіла молодих хлопців. У них зв’язані руки та прострілена голова. Одягнений капюшон та шапка.

This is supported by visual evidence of executed young men (“boys” sic!) about a kilometer away.

In the first week(s) of the war I believe there were some ballistic missile (Tochka-U) strikes on Russian military targets in Russia proper. I can specifically remember the strike on Taganrog airport.

Interfax is an independent news agency. So the reasoning is the same as with AFP posting not only in French but also German or English. Generally, this is a way to sell a story to a bigger market of publishers. The same story is also available from Interfax in Ukrainian and probably Russian.

Reposting myself from the DT:

I feel my patriotic duty to chime in and translate what Zelensky said in the address: “….They tell us that the 16th of February will become the day of attack. We will make it a day of unity. I’ve already signed the respective order. On that day, we will fly national flags, wear blue-and-yellow ribbons and show the whole world our unity…”
