Survivors buried under rubble continue to be discovered in #Dnipro, many hours after Russia launched a 6-ton missile, originally designed to attack aircraft carriers, at an apartment building complex in #Ukraine. The civilized world must act to end Putin's evil. Enough!

🚨 BREAKING: @Vlad_Osechkin has received the database of Tu-22 flight crews for practically all of Russian Air Force's missions in #Ukraine & #Syria from a Russian military defector. Today's war crime in #Dnipro was conducted by a Tu-22M3. Every war criminal will face justice. ✊ twitter.com/igorsushko/sta…

🚨 BREAKING: General #Dorofeev in charge of #Moscow region FSB has been fired. Blamed for #Crimea bridge. Announcement expected in days. Serious infighting on who is to replace him among various power blocks within FSB. This is one the most powerful positions in all of FSB. twitter.com/igorsushko/sta…

🚨 🧵 Former commander in #WagnerPMC, Andrei #Medvedev has escaped to #Norway and requested political asylum. Wagner had kept all of his identity documents. His escape on foot is one for a Hollywood movie 👇
Correction: He was not a convict when joining Wagner. twitter.com/igorsushko/sta…

#Russia has moved 8 attackers Su-30M & Su-34 and 4 cargo planes to #Baranovichi forward airfield in #Belarus on Jan 15th in preparation for the planned offensive on #Ukraine from the north. Joint Russia-Belarus "training exercises" to take place from January 16 - February 1.
432
Putin's Spring 2023 offensive will likely come from all directions - North, East, and South, a repeat of Feb 2022 invasion but with lessons learned & hundreds of thousands more troops. It will be bloody. Time is running out for the West to act decisively. Too little too late.

434
If the Ukrainian heroics & sacrifice on a miraculous level over the past year have only been rewarded with minimal military aid, so that Ukraine was unable to even hold one town - #Soledar, when Russia threw just 20,000 soldiers at it, think what will happen when 500,000 invade.
435
Putin doesn't care if he loses hundreds of thousands of his own soldiers. Some are already being pumped with meth and other drugs, just like Hitler's army was in WW2. Putin's goal is simple -
1) Take as much territory as possible.
2) Exterminate as many Ukrainians as possible.
436
Unless there's a shift in the West's policy in arming #Ukraine right now, we will be faced with 2 possible scenarios this Summer:
1) Pretend to be shocked as Putin takes over Ukraine.
2) NATO enters Ukraine, which should've happened prior to Feb 24 2022.
Which one will we pick?
437
Allies spent well over $3 trillion in today's money to defeat Hitler in WW2. 40% of GDP in 1945. Now isn't the time to bicker over hundreds of billions that are necessary to defeat Russia. The cost both financially and in human lives will go up every day indecision continues.
438
One year since the invasion, the collective West is still plagued by utter lack of resolve, which has allowed Putin to regroup from the comfort of his bunker. We have no comprehensive plan for a favorable end game. Let's stop Scholzing around. History will judge us harshly.
439
Remember most military experts saying #Kyiv will fall in mere days in February 2022? Post-mortem of why Russia failed?
1) Offensive wasn't properly prepared and rushed.
2) Not enough troops.
3) Ukraine got lucky in Hostomel.
We gave Putin 1 year to prepare Spring 2023 blitzkrieg.

#Russia: 61% of Russian population is reliant on government welfare payments to survive. Russia is a mafia-kleptocratic-authoritarian-communistic Frankenstein. Population is controlled through terror & reliance on government to literally feed them.

#Putin has ordered General #Gerasimov to capture all of #Donbas by March, reports GUR, Ukrainian MoD Intelligence.
446
🚨 Video of the Russian Kh-22 missile with 1 ton warhead directly striking the intended target - civilian the apartments in #Dnipro in #Ukraine. You can see the missile itself on a direct trajectory. The story pushed by #Arestovych that it was shut down by AA is utter BS.

🚨 🧵 #Gerasimov's Hail Mary Attack on #Lviv: The following is reported by Volya Media, allegedly from sources inside the General Staff of #Russia.
1) Russia has readied 700,000 soldiers, some already in West Belarus, & 200,000 waiting in reserves.
2) Attack may start in weeks.
449

5) Russian command has been conserving & hoarding artillery shells for this large-scale offensive for months. The observed shell 'deficit' on the front was artificial.
6) Typical Russian strategy will be employed - level cities ahead with mass shelling, then move forward.
