"If the West continues its level of aid and support, while Ukraine continues to build military capability and execute a superior war plan, the path to victory is clear. Under those conditions, it's only a matter of when—not if—Ukraine will win this war." commonsense.news/p/ukraine-can-…

Just talked to a reporter in Dnipro on why Mariupol still survives. The courage of the Ukrainians using the unique characteristics of the urban terrain to resist for all of Ukraine (they force Russians to stay there & not head north). TY to all the free press around the world.

On #Mariupol Putin's announcement is recognition of defeat. It is a terrible situation, but as long as there are living, breathing, brave Ukrainian fighters in Mariupol, it is not a Russian win. Russians liking shifting forces, priority, assets to other areas. #SlavaUkraini

If anyone asked me, I would add every M40 Gas mask (older version of what we used in the US Army) in existence to the #Ukraine️ list of urgent needs (just as a precaution @ZelenskyyUa ) they protect against many chemical & biological agents. Can be purchased by anyone.

Fully block any main road or bridge that you know military vehicles will come down or have already come down (more will follow). Block with the biggest, heaviest, strongest things you can think of: Buses, dump trucks, semi-trailers, cars (flatten tires/take batteries), rocks,

If this doesn't inspire you, we are not friends. Ukraine's fight is for freedom. It is a human right and must be fully supported by all means. 40+ million people have shown the world they will not live in subjugation, they will fight to the death to be free. twitter.com/DefenceU/statu…

Lyman (an important logistical hub for the Russians) has been liberated. Advance more open now to Kreminna and Svatove. Second battle of Severodonetsk to come. censor.net/en/news/337064…

Putin is the worst military strategist of modern history. What did his war crimes today accomplish?
✅ Hardened the resolve of the Ukrainians
✅ Convince & place urgency on countries (U.S. & others) to provide more air defense systems for UKR
✅ Increase international support

Russian front in Kherson collapsing. Godspeed to the Ukrainian fighters! twitter.com/ChuckPfarrer/s…

If this was HIMARS, it only proves the Ukrainians need more. A strike 60km behind the front line to hit Russian command posts, including where a 3-star Russian general. We were wrong to delay MLRS this long, we must correct that mistake @POTUS @NATO twitter.com/LanguageIearne…

Thoughts on the situation in Ukraine and the battle of Kherson that began weeks ago. Ukraine is poised to achieve the biggest operational victory since the Battles of Kyiv (IMO the only decisive/strategic victory), Kharkiv, Sumy, Chernihiv, &others.🧵1/14 newsweek.com/ukraine-himars…

No @POTUS didn’t say the U.S. won’t give MLRS. He said we will not give rockets that can hit into Russia. Which is political speak. There are many types of rockets that go with MLRS/HIMARS from 32km to 300 km. Give Ukraine all the weapons they need to destroy Russians in Ukraine!

Time to go on record. The death of children in mass shooting is not political. Clearly what we are doing as a nation is NOT working. It is just stupid someone can buy an gun without a background check or that someone not old enough to drink can buy an assault rifle (should be 21)

God damn that tears me up. Russian terrorism must be stopped. #ArmUkrainaNow twitter.com/maksymeristavi…

My thoughts and prayers go out to all the Ukrainian fighters in Mariupol. They are are still fighting! I have seen reports this morning that I won’t repost. I will remain hopeful! #SlavaUkraini

"Never again" has to mean something. This is our moment. Our generation's moment to prevent evil. What is going on in #Ukraine️ cannot be allowed to continue. What we are doing is NOT enough. Russia most be stop. Today! #ArmUkraineNow twitter.com/auschwitzxhibi…

"Look what they have done...This is the time. This is the moment. To fully support Ukraine in defeating Russia in Ukraine. Sovereign Ukraine. So they can win this fight for the free world." A few thoughts on the importance of what is happening in Ukraine. #ArmUkraineNow

U.S. DoD announces new $275 Million in Additional Assistance for Ukraine. Keep it flowing @DeptofDefense Need to add ATACMS already @POTUS

Breaking News. Fighting on the outskirts of Lysychansk. The liberation of Lysychansk would be another major win for the Ukraine. Godspeed to the Ukrainian military forces! twitter.com/MriyaReport/st…

Love the graphics. U.S. artillery in Ukraine a game changer. Coupled with counter artillery radars, now not only out ranging #Russian artillery but also destroying them! twitter.com/Biz_Ukraine_Ma…

Four-point peace plan for Ukraine (updated). And no, I don't care how much the Russian government and military is embarrassed, they have committed awful war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. Evil deeds cannot go unchecked.

Ukraine’s offensive towards Kherson was not a feint!
