Why Russia is losing this war? First I'll discuss why Russia *is* losing. Then I'll give my version of how it could happen. The key to understanding lies in the Soviet/Russian military doctrine. It gives context for current events and helps to predict further Russian actions🧵

50 killed at the railway station in Kramatorsk. Russia fired a missile at a facility full of civilians getting evacuated from war. Just because it can. And because we don’t have enough means to make Russia stop firing missiles against us.

⚡⚡⚡Russian MFA: "The ruling regime in Latvia has long been well known for its neo-Nazi preferences and attempts to whitewash the atrocities of Nazi Germany 's henchmen"

Boris Johnson’s surprise visit to Kyiv is a strong and symbolic move. But it will become practical and historic if it results in Ukraine finally getting scores of heavy weaponry and air defense — as soon as possible.

Russian MP Yevgeny Fedorov says that Russia's invasion of Ukraine is "100% legal" as Ukraine did not exist in 1945 As Ukraine "illegally withdrew from the USSR" and is an "illegal separatist state formation," Fedorov says Russia has the right to invade

The Russian war in a nutshell: - They come to a thriving city - The city gets razed to the ground, to the point of not being able to sustain any human life - Most residents flee in terror - Russia installs its flag over lifeless ruins - Russia calls this LIBERATION #Mariupol

It's surreal that Ukraine, the country that has been suffering from Russian bombing, murders, rapes, gets blamed by some for a possible global food crisis because 'it refuses to cede territory to Russia'. How about blaming Russia for starting the war and blocking Ukrainian ports?

Mariupol was turned into a cemetery. Mass burials on city outskirts, graves in front of residential buildings, thousands left under the rubble. Death toll is unimaginable, number of lives ruined is uncountable. Russia’s main export is death & destruction.

Russia's threats against Lithuania have mostly one aim: to sow divisions in the West/NATO. There are already voices slamming Vilnius for the 'blockade' of Kaliningrad. Well, the real blockade is in the Black sea: of Ukrainian ports by Russia. K-grad still has air, sea connections

Putin hit Lviv as Biden was giving a speech in Warsaw. Putin hit Kyiv when Guterres was in the city after Bucha trip. Putin hits Kyiv on a massive scale as G7 leaders are gathering in Elmau for a summit. And he's going to do it over and over again. This is his way of negotiating

Yeah, let’s just fire a fucking missile upon a shopping mall in Kremenchug with over 1,000 civilians in it, why not. Russia is a terrorist state that must be defeated, disarmed, and stripped of its ability to wage aggressive wars.

Kids sing that they are ready to go into last battle - for Crimea, Alasca, "from Kuril Islands to Baltic shores..." This is Russia's true deadly weapon. Propaganda. This is what we must fight at least on the same scale as their army. #RussiaUkraineWar #RussiaIsATerroristState

Russia is unable to win the conventional war in Ukraine, but it's willing - and doing everything it can - to win the hybrid war. Hence the food crisis and energy blackmail, attempts (often successful) to undermine Ukraine-friendly governments in the West. Expect more of this

This is what Russian state TV is telling 150 million Russians day in, day out. They are openly calling for war crimes against the Ukrainian nation and attacks on other European states.

A perfect illustration of what today’s Russia is. A flag proudly pinned over lifeless ruins that used to be one of Ukraine’s fastest-developing cities. #Mariupol

🧵You asked so here’s a list, in no particular order, of Ukrainian brands that I’ve ordered from/shopped at over the last 10+ years. Some things I bought while in Ukraine, so do your own due diligence on shipping, import & remember things might take longer in a time of war 1/n

Meanwhile, it only took a few hours for another group of mobilised Russians to get dead drunk. "What are we going for? Where are going? F*ck knows!", one concludes.

Insane
