If you understand the Kremlin's mindset, you also know that @GLandsbergis is correct. So far, the general Western approach is reactive, failing to pre-empt RU behavior. As a result, we continue to act on RU terms and hand over strategic initiative to Moscow.

Kronikk ute i @aft_meninger om behovet for kraftig økt støtte til Ukraina, eget forsvar og at den militære og hybride faren fra Russland ikke må underspilles. Anbefaler også dagens politisk kvarter med @jonasgahrstore og @erna_solberg på samme tematikk. aftenposten.no/meninger/kroni…
A thread on Avdiivka, what it its loss says about Russian strategy and capabilities, and what they may try to do next. /1
In a recent podcast with me, Phillips O'Brien (@PhillipsPOBrien) said something both striking and haunting: "The Russians have gained far more geopolitical leverage out of the millions they've spent on information warfare than the billions they have spent on the military."
Please note the word "quietly"
🧵As the #UkraineWar is about to enter its third year, and the war between #Israel and #Hamas escalates, it's possible that the campaign waged by the axis of dictatorships against democracies may soon expand even further and undermine other critical regional power balances. 1/6
Year summary (28.12.2023 07:50 AM RO/UA time): Summary (in approximate chronological order): 1. Battle for Vuhledar; 2. Battle for Bakhmut; 3. Ukrainian counteroffensive; 4. The naval battle for the Black Sea; 5. Battle for Kherson/Nova Kahovka; 6. Battle for Avdiivka; 7.…

God lesning. Litt annen formidlingsform enn tradisjonell vestlig militærliteratur, men en veldig god analyse av de faktiske forhold. Bruken av små bokstave skal ikke kommenteres, men gildt at "NM189 Ingeniorpanservogn" nevnes. Om noen lurte, så er jeg altså ingeniøroffiser.

“Ukraine has… pinned down Russia’s Black Sea fleet, and opened a lane for commercial shipping. This is the most substantial development in the war these past few months, which the “stalemate” metaphor has blocked us from seeing.” @TimothyDSnyder ft.com/content/5791ec…

The Majority Never Had It So Good Only just getting to read this fascinating @RussiaPost_tw piece on the impact of the war on Russia's 'provinces' and rural communities, and why it's not the nightmare some may presume. Depressing and thought-provoking russiapost.info/regions/majori…
NRK har i dag gjentatt RU uttalelser om at å gi UKR ammunisjon med utarmet uranium er kriminelt og umenneskelig. Bl.a. trekkes frykten for skade på soldater og at ammunisjonen kan gjøre annekterte landområder ubeboelig. Ikke et ord om russisk brutalitet. Så her er en tråd 1/
