I really respect this act from Sean Penn. Maybe some won’t. But I see as great respect and emotion. “Hold this until Ukraine is free.” Clearly it means a lot to Sean and I can see it as him giving something important to him. #SlavaUkraini twitter.com/Gerashchenko_e…

Not sure why they have to ask. Send Ukraine C-RAMs and anything else they need to protect their civilians and cities. @POTUS defenseone.com/policy/2022/11…

A great day for Ukraine. Kherson city is being liberated. The only regional capital Russia was able to seize the entire war. A major loss for Russia. twitter.com/bayraktar_1lov…

Disappointing. U.S. refuses to give Ukraine Grey Eagle drone over fears of escalation. Which is appeasement IMO. Putin's threats are working on some in the U.S. administration. Give Ukraine everything they need to defend themselves/their sovereignty. wsj.com/articles/u-s-w…

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.

"Ukraine...saying talks could only resume once the Kremlin relinquishes all Ukrainian territory and that Kyiv would fight on even if it is "stabbed in the back" by its allies." Shame on anyone that expects anything less. euronews.com/2022/11/07/ukr…

Russian withdraw in defeat from Kherson is very real. twitter.com/ItsArtoir/stat…

Kherson is Ukraine. Congrats to the Ukrainian military in liberating the only major city Russia was able to capture. Now the healing, demining can begin. I hate to think of the horrors of Russian occupation that will be discovered. All war crimes will be documented/investigated.

"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

You must choose a side. You’re either pro-Ukraine or pro-Russia. You’re pro-good guys or pro-evil guys. Yes, I do try to make objective assessments of the military and political situation. But I am or course pro-Ukrainian (good guys), pro-freedom, pro-democracy, pro-laws of war.

A small but plausible explanation to the timing of the liberation of #Kherson in the #RussiaUkraineWar Putin and his strategists were hoping on a major shift in U.S. (and countries that look to the leadership of the U.S.) support to Ukraine in the U.S. midterm elections. 🧵

A graphic that says a thousand words. Ukraine is winning. The path to victory is clear. twitter.com/bradyafr/statu…

Anywhere Russians have been, these horrors are discovered. This should show the world that Russian reasons and intentions have nothing to do with border disputes, liberating people that want to be Russian. This is about committing genocide on Ukrainian people, culture, state. twitter.com/AnaCabrera/sta…

I am still in awe. A President visiting his troops, his people, on the very front line, with the enemy less than 10km away. A man who rose to the occasion and became the leader his people needed. A historic hero for others to embody. Be more like @ZelenskyyUa twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Russia continues conducting massive daily war crimes as the world watches. twitter.com/IAPonomarenko/…

Situation developing. A Russian missile strike reportedly hits in Poland, killing 2 civilians. reuters.com/world/europe/p…
595
The world awaits what Poland, NATO, the U.S. will say/do about this strike. If true, a Russian missile strike on NATO territory killing Polish citizens both under the NATO collective security guarantees. twitter.com/SpencerGuard/s…
596
The best response to Russia’s strike on NATO territory, killing Polish/NATO citizens is overwhelming immediate increase in lethal military aid to Ukraine so they can end the war quickly. Give them ATACMS for f**k sake. Tanks, IFVs, planes, send it all.
597
I stand by the best response to the explosion in Poland caused by Russia’s illegal war in Ukraine (executed by daily Russian war crimes) is an immediate massive increase in lethal military aid so Ukraine can end Putin’s war of choice faster, especially ATACMS #ArmUkraineNow
598
Russia is 100% to blame for what happened in Poland. "The more the world sits back and incrementally arms Ukraine, the more people have died, and now people are dying in NATO territory/Poland because this war [Putin's war of choice] continues" my talk with @BBCWorld this morning.
