Після масштабних повітряних атак фіксуємо нові накази на переведення фахівців ППО у піхоту. В тому числі і операторів дронів-перехоплювачів. З одного боку розповідаємо, як ми зараз розбудуємо ППО, з іншого боку цю систему руйнуємо. І це на тлі нарощення виробництва шахедів.…

Ukrainian volunteer Serhiy Sternenko, who supplies frontline units with drones and drone interceptors, said air-defense crews are being reassigned to infantry again, including interceptor drone operators. Amid rising Shahed attacks, reassigning AD crews looks like self-sabotage

The Ghost of Istanbul Some argue Ukraine could’ve secured favorable terms at Istanbul if it had just stayed at the table longer and played the game right. But was deterrence possible under the conditions Russia demanded? Let’s unpack that.🧵⬇️

Remember how Ukrainian Canadians such as myself were called censors and bullies for criticizing the film ‘Russians at War’ as Russian Soft-Propaganda? And how despite the filmmakers dubious past as an employee of Russian state media, we were being unfair to her? I spoke out at…

Obama refused to send lethal aid to Ukraine, whose first invasion by Russia he characterized as not having anything to do with U.S. interests. He cut a deal with Putin to rescue Assad from U.S. intervention in exchange for Syria's abandonment of chemical weapons -- a deal which…

Good recommendations from former Sanctions Official who served in Trump #1. While I am very skeptical that President Trump will actually follow through on his most recent threats of severe consequences for Russia if Putin does not agree to a ceasefire, these would be effective.

1/13) I was President Trump’s Asst. Secretary of the Treasury (for sanctions etc.) during his first Admin. Q: What should happen if Putin refuses an immediate, complete ceasefire? A: Immediate, crushing sanctions. @POTUS should tell @USTreasury to take the following 9 steps…

It seems that authors of this story missed one critical dimension. Since 🇺🇦 always operated on firepower deficit it was forced to compensate it with skill of its NCO&lower level officers. Those who should have changed soviet/post-soviet officers generations are KIA or exhausted.

“Rutte is revealing that the latest genius 5D chess move to save Ukraine is to casually throw millions of people into a black hole of oppression, torture, rape, kidnapping, murder and destruction of national identity — ‘de facto, but not de jure’.” Good thread by @GLandsbergis.

4/ Mr. President @ZelenskyyUa - you need people who lead real change, and, most importantly, restore trust in the command. Once the situation is stabilized, you must replace Commander-in-Chief Syrski, because this convinent yes-man will only push us closer to the abyss

Europeans had six months to prepare for a Trump/Putin deal. On 16 February they had their first “emergency meeting”. Now they plan another hasty meeting in London. Still without any proper plan. 🇬🇧🇩🇪🇫🇷 are incapable of producing more than words. Other Europeans + Canadians…

The current geopolitical moment is often compared to Chamberlain’s betrayal of Czechoslovakia in 1938. But there is another point in history that could be used as an example equally well. In 1944, Stalin, sensing victory approaching, demanded that part of Poland be recognised by…

“These children are not ‘war orphans.’ They had names, families, and Ukrainian citizenship,” said @MykolaKuleba. “Now, they’re being matched with Russian families, treated like animals in a pet adoption database. This is a digital child trafficking.”

@ChristopherJM Does every fucking Western journalist feel compelled to add some qualifier like “imperfect” when describing Ukrainian democracy? Do they do this every time they refer to Western democracies, perfect as they are? And what is “burgeoning” still in Ukraine? The Ukrainians have a…

Unsurprisingly, Marjorie Taylor Greene is lying. This protest had absolutely nothing to do with Zelensky "refusing to make a peace deal" or "ending the war". I know, because I was actually there.

@RepMTG I was at this protest (and I'm in this video) and I can categorically say this completely false: not one person or sign at this protest mentioned Zelensky "refusing to make a peace deal and end the war". Stop lying.

In yet another blatant attempt to weaken or destroy the country’s independent anti-corruption infrastructure, the Ukrainian parliament is likely to pass legislative amendments that could destroy the country’s post-Maidan anti-corruption architecture. A 🧵
