"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.

Amazing! One of the heroes of Mariupol #Azovstal Suffered horribly as a POW in Russian control. “If you are in captivity and you understand there is nothing you can change — why in the world would you be sulking?” twitter.com/Gerashchenko_e…

“Never again” was supposed to have meaning! 🤬🤬 My grandfather fought Nazis in WWII. If alive, he would be ashamed and pissed we have not done more to stop this. twitter.com/DefenceU/statu…

I received this in the mail today. From President Bush. It means a LOT to me.

Another mass grave of civilians found 🤬🤬 Give them the damn #ATACMS, tanks, IFVs, aircraft, and everything else they need to defend their citizens and sovereign land. #armukrainanow twitter.com/KyivPost/statu…

Amazing footage of a Russian armored vehicle crew surrendering to Ukrainian soldiers. The right decision for the Russian soldiers. They will be treated humanely. Notice the professionalism of the Ukrainians. Tactical, disciplined, highly trained. twitter.com/TpyxaNews/stat…

Don’t be lazy. Nothing in life is given. Not happiness, health, money, knowledge, wisdom, respect, love. Get smart, get rich, get fit fast is a poisonous lie. Only hard work achieves. Set the goal and put in the damn work.

Major John Spencer has claimed Putin is “absolutely losing the support” of China because they do not “want a friend who is as weak as Russia.” express.co.uk/news/world/167…

Putin continues his nuclear terrorism. Claiming Ukraine's nuclear plant (largest in Europe) is his. And now (again) recklessly launching missiles FROM THE PLANT (using a nuclear power plant as a shield) at the city of Zaporizhzhia (at civilians). IAEA arriving today for talks. twitter.com/ChuckPfarrer/s…

Russia sent slaves to liberate freemen!
Russia forced untrained men to fight against volunteer warriors!
Winter is coming!

Crazy. Clear signs the Russian military will suffer in the coming winter. They don’t have proper cold weather gear! twitter.com/Spatanbld/stat…

"I'm not sure how you regroup when you are running...literally abandoning all your tanks, all your artillery...they're [Russians] desperate..it really doesn't make common sense at this point to keep going." my talk with @AnaCabrera about the #RussiaUkraineWar today on @CNN

Kerch bridge struck! The bridge is Russia’s strategic asset connecting Russia to occupied Crimea. If Russia can’t use that bridge, HUGE! twitter.com/KyivPost/statu…
495
Standing by for another attack on the Kerch bridge. Ukraine has sent the message - they can strike it at will, get out Russian civilians, Crimea is Ukraine and it will be liberated.
496
That’s big. Thank you Germany. Hope to see “will give” turned to “have given” rapidly. Winter is coming! The weather will crush the poorly equipped Russians, we’ve seen the status of their personal and medical kits, weapons, and vehicles. 🥶🥶 twitter.com/WarMonitor3/st…

Yes! Russian attacks today on playgrounds, parks, apartment buildings, & civilians didn't show their strength. It showed their weakness. Their lack of ability to do anything except war crimes. Their terror tactics dont work. I say we are seeing the last breaths of a feeble giant. twitter.com/Newsweek/statu…

So Russia can launch > 80 missiles & Iranian drones at Kyiv playgrounds, apartment bldgs, civilians freely & the U.S. won’t publicly give Ukraine rockets (ATACMS) to help defend their land, inside Ukraine, because we are scared of what Putin will do? Stop the appeasement!

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
