Putin lost the war for Ukraine in April at the Battle of Kyiv. He lost the Battle of Kharkiv in Sept. Now he has lost the Battle of Kherson. Where will he lose next? Ukraine will not stop. Winter is coming for Russia.

Russian soldiers surrendering in mass. It is their best option. Unlike how their leaders treat them, they will be treated humanely (even with calls home to their families) in Ukrainian care. twitter.com/WarMonitor3/st…

Why Russia is STILL a member of the UN Security Council after committing so many blatant war crimes (and genocide) in Ukraine is insane 🤬🤬There has to be a way to at least suspend them. twitter.com/Apex_WW/status…

It’s up to us to ensure the U.S. population does not lose interest in helping Ukraine fully defeat Russia. Up to us to continually explain that not doing so will impact every U.S. life now & later. Russia cannot be allowed to upset global order. @AnaCabrera @AliVelshi @IsaCNN

I dislike reporting that the illegal Russian war has transitioned to a protracted phase, even worse analogies to Russia facing an insurgency. Russia controls no city, very few "safe" areas. Ukrainians are killing Russian soldiers daily. Get more weapons, ammo in. Ukraine can win.

"It has to change everyones thinking...it takes an intimate special kind of evil to wrap the hands of civilians & shoot them in the back of the head. If we...don't stand up, why are we a superpower?" My full talk w/ @AliVelshi on @VelshiMSNBC this morning. youtube.com/watch?v=MhhgIA…

To the Ukrainian people fighting. You MUST to block all the streets. Slow vehicles down so you can shoot at them or throw Molotovs at them. You must be inside buildings. Anyone with a weapon on the streets can be seen by Russians and hit by rockets or artillery. @KyivIndependent

"This stuff [weapons] needed to be there 2 months ago...No, it's [$1 billion] not enough, it's enough when we get to a point where Ukraine says 'ok I have so much I can't field it'...they're not getting it fast enough and they don't have enough of it" ... My talk w/ @BBCWorld TV.

After events like today I'm even more proud for having written a book to help Ukrainians fight evil Russians soldiers. Translated into Ukrainian, distributed by the Ministry of Defense, and published/distributed across the country 100,000+ #SlavaUkraini johnspenceronline.com/urban-warfare

“Russia to Suffer Worst Slowdown of Any Major Economy” … good! All damage of Putin’s choice in his illegal war and genocide in Ukraine. wsj.com/articles/russi…

Put political party aside, Tucker Carlson is a cancer. Same guy who said “Why shouldn’t I root for Russia, which I am? It’s not un-American to support Putin; Unless Vladimir Putin has personally had you…your family…murdered, you really don’t have any right to criticize the guy” twitter.com/nickconfessore…

Russia will run out of soldiers, I don't care what people say about the amount they can force into service. They tried to mobilize 300K, required capturing people off the street and more than 400K Russian men fled the country. twitter.com/Volodymyr_D_/s…

I think a few European leaders (looking at your France/Germany) and billionaires need to watch this... over and over. twitter.com/apmassaro3/sta…

I recently rewatched the @netflix documentary "Winter on Fire: Ukraine's Fight for Freedom." I recommend it! Especially for all the revisionist historians out there on what happened in Ukraine in 2014. There are also a few lessons in it for unarmed protesters #IranRevoIution

My greatest fear in life is the loss of one of my children. My role in life is to protect them. I will make great sacrifices in life to ensure they can live in safety. I will support any effort that has the goal to make all children safer, to spare them from evil.

So the U.S. knows the Islamic Republic is supplying Russia with suicide drones to commit war crimes and sent soldiers into Ukraine to train Russians on how to use them. What should the U.S., NATO, and U.N. do? IMO🧵

News today about possible Ukraine peace talks. @ZelenskyyUa 10 point formula should be the start. Restoration of Ukraine’s territorial integrity, withdrawal of Russian troops, release of all prisoners, war crimes tribunal for Russian crimes, security guarantees for Ukraine.

“The cost of this fight is not cheap, but caving to aggression is going to be more costly if we allow it to happen. We either back Ukrainian people as they defend their country, or we stand by as the Russians continue their atrocities and aggression in Ukraine.” @POTUS
