It's been over 6 months since Ukraine captured part of fascist Russia's territory. Russia has been unable to dislodge the Ukrainian occupying force, even with the help of North Korean special forces (who got mauled). Russia is weak, and Ukraine can win the war - if Kyiv gets enough support.

Opinion: "Russia is not a country forged by shared values, common beliefs or a unifying purpose — it is an empire assembled by force, bound together by lies and sustained through the theft of other peoples’ art, culture and history" - Andrew Chakhoyan at @thehill.com thehill.com/opinion/inte...

In 1863, one of the most notorious pieces of anti-🇺🇦 legislation was issued in the Russian Empire: the Valuev Decree. Minister of the Interior Petr Valuev forbade most publications in the "Little Russian" (i.e. Ukrainian) language while at the same time denying it existed. Click the link for more: 1/

And this is from a Hungarian government struggling to live up to even the most basic EU principles of democracy and transparency. Where is the "off" switch for Hungarian government officials? Does Putin have it?

Hi Everyone. Sent out this post yesterday—which covers the rather telling similarity between how some western analysts and the Kremlin discuss the future of Ukraine. Its what Im calling, “The Vatnik Tell”.

🧵 Der skrives i disse dage meget vrøvl om at Ukraine skal afgive land for fred. Dette sludder er baseret på en falsk præmis om, at den russiske aggression handler om at flytte grænser. Det gør den ikke. 1/4

"The German verb "totschweigen" means to stay silent on an unpleasant topic until it dies. For 2 years, it's been clear that all the goods going from the EU to places like Kyrgyzstan (black) never actually arrive in Bishkek (blue). This stuff goes to Russia. Brussels is silent..." - Robin Brooks

Been telling my former 🇷🇺 friends this for years: How could you ever subdue a country of millions of potential master infiltrators? Then again, that's 🇷🇺's biggest weakness: They suffer from imperial blindness & are unable to see Ukraine and Ukrainians as they really are.

The full extent of the Assad regime's cruelty must now be exposed. Along with its foreign backers and profiteers. The world should know who exactly made a living from defending that regime.

OTD in 1999 the Russian air force dropped leaflets on Grozny saying we'd kill anyone who stays for being a “terrorist”. The anti imperialist outrage at this butchery of civilians was intense. Not. They actually think we kill fewer civilians than Israel does.

For a long time the messaging from the FDF - which traditionally rarely makes public pleas or tries to push the politicians to certain decisions by public messaging - has been that anti-personnel mines doesn't fit our mobile tactics. This is a significant shift, and I expect action based on it.

Danish F-35s shooting down inbound missiles over Ukraine - no one is killed, neither Dane, Ukrainian or Russian. Clear red line to Putin: Shoot at our planes, we shoot down your bombers. (Mr. GPT thinks this is what "retracted landing gear" looks like. Sorry)

Germans want military support for 🇺🇦! Only 24% want to reduce, whereas 43% want to strengthen it. 71% of Germans don't believe Trump can negotiate a peace deal. Only the pro-Putin parties (24%) believe he can. All we hear about in the press is German "war fatigue", but that's not the case!

Russian #Shaheds used in attacks on Sumy, Ukraine, had new warheads with #tungsten shrapnel balls. Though reported by Ukrainian authorities in late September, this is their first recorded use in Sumy. An anti-personnel munition, its use on civilian targets is simply #terrorism.

The world needs a shot of poetic justice: My fervent wish for the end of Russia's war of conquest against Ukraine is all of Russia's nukes handed over to Ukraine, and Putin hanging from a Moscow gas station. But I'll settle for Putin killing himself in his bunker.

In other news, Ru continues trying to conquer Ukraine because Ukraine refuses to surrender peacefully. Why is our media exposing readers to Pu’s propaganda and self-serving narratives directly and uncritically?
