This is terrible. Ukrainians must continue to be careful in areas previously occupied by Russians. They left booby traps everywhere. Follow the three Rs if anything suspicious is seen or discovered. twitter.com/Osinttechnical…

.@nytimes "concluded that the perpetrators of the massacre along Yablunska Street were Russian paratroopers from the 234th Air Assault Regiment led by Lt. Col. Artyom Gorodilov." The commander was promoted & unit given awards after the #BuchaMassacre 🤬 nytimes.com/2022/12/22/vid…

WTH? "(as part of Wagner PMC), which is commanded by a US citizen, a former general of the Marine Corps," Prigozhin said" I hope all the right organizations are looking into this. barrons.com/news/ex-us-mar…

“Mykolaiv strikes are continued Russian missile terrorism, but I think they're also frustrated by the gains they are seeing by Ukrainians in the South especially around Kherson where Ukraine is poised to basically have a strategic win in reclaiming Kherson.” w/ @AnaCabrera @CNN

Unraveling of the Putin regime and Russian federation. The test of domestic support failing. Protest growing in size and action. Military will be used to maintain the crumbling state. Easy solution, leave Ukraine! twitter.com/HannaLiubakova…

Very impressed by @vonderleyen comments about the G7 summit, unflinching support for Ukraine for as long as it takes. When I was in Ukraine recently. On madian square. There she was! Crazy coincidence. Highly recommend watching her @CNN interview: youtu.be/DOlGEcDKnhA

"Providing Ukraine the weapons to defend itself should never be viewed as a path to escalation, it's actually a path to peace. This ends by giving Ukraine the weapons systems...to defeat the Russian military in Ukraine." #SlavaUkraini @24tvua youtube.com/watch?v=IfKBWH…

Great! “The U.S. on Friday hit six executives and board members of an Iranian drone manufacturer with sanctions after the firm allegedly supplied Moscow with drones that Russian forces have been using to attack Ukraine.” apnews.com/article/russia…

Not matter how you look at it, the situation in #Kherson is getting worse for Russians. Their ability to hold the city questionable. My fingers crossed for a major operation that reclaims much of the area back to Ukraine. #SlavaUkraini twitter.com/CasualArtyFan/…

“Reports have recently emerged that the US is planning on selling Ukraine US-made General Atomics MQ-1C Gray Eagle armed drones, which have greater capabilities than the TB2s.” @AVindman has been calling for Gray Eagles since the start of the war. businessinsider.com/drones-russia-…

More on the legal errors in @amnesty report from an expert! It is wrong legally, militarily, and common sense. It is slander based on little fact or understanding of LOAC/IHL or urban warfare. Any respectable organization would resend it for amendment at the least. twitter.com/marcgarlasco/s…

What Ukraine has done in the last 48 hours is historic. Undeniable momentum, seized the initiative. "likely capture the city of #Izyum itself in the next 48 hours" Russian forces are retreating in fear, in chaos, a rout. Leaving their equipment, weapons ammo. #SlavaUkraini twitter.com/TheStudyofWar/…

Soldiers are trained members of a profession that live their lives, execute their mission, & are given autonomy/authority by their government/citizens to use lethal force in accordance w/ national values, ethical codes, & laws. Russian/Wagner prisoners & mobiks are NOT soldiers.

"Shoigu says 200,000 have been conscripted since Sept. 21 order," but data shows close to 400,000 fled.
These 200k will not save Putin's illegal war. They are untrained, unmotivated cannon fodder being applied to a broken army in disadvantaged positions.

"this is another major turning point in Russia's illegal war in Ukraine...he could not hold this pivotal city...100% desperation, their strategy really hasn't made sense this entire war." my talk with @AnaCabrera @CNN earlier today about #Kherson #UkraineRussiaWar

Wow, check that out. The mini-manual for the urban defender (latest version here: johnspenceronline.com/urban-warfare) but in an actual mini manual printed format. I love it! #urbanwarfare #IStandWithUkraine twitter.com/Ukraine30F/sta…
