We should line the halls of the upcoming @NATO summit with photos from Bucha. I want to see bold action from them next week. To include @POTUS Not just tough words, bold and immediate action. Ukraine is having to withdrawal in places because they are outgunned. That is wrong. twitter.com/DefenceU/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…

Every day Russia stays in Ukraine it becomes weaker. twitter.com/MassDara/statu…

Big News! After a lot of requests, I have completed a MAJOR update to my "Mini-Manual for the Urban Defender." A living document. Written for Ukrainian civilians/defenders. Now in 13 languages. Updates to translations working. #urbanwarfare Download here:

Every squad in the U.S. military should be equipped with a cheap, disposable drone (30 minute flight time min) for reconnaissance, targeting (FO), and attack. If they don’t, we are risking tactical losses.

I was in Bucha on Saturday spending time with the Bucha community defenders. They have suffered as a community and people, but they remain ready and constantly preparing to continue to fight. A feeling I felt everywhere I visited in Ukraine with @LiamSCollins #Bucha

Powerful! Exact weapons needed to save millions of Ukrainians, millions of Europeans. twitter.com/IneBackIversen…

I agree. If we want the war to end sooner, we must increase military aid to include the vehicles needed to move it around the battlefield. Withholding weapons like ATACMs is also a form of appeasement - “not to escalate, not to anger Putin.” Send it @POTUS twitter.com/EliotACohen/st…

More mass graves discovered in recently liberated Ukrainian areas. Russia has been executing genocide. The time to fully resource Ukraine is now so they can end the horrors being impose or Ukrainian civilians wherever Russian stop. #ArmUkraineNow twitter.com/NikaMelkozerov…

"At the beginning...they probably began as the No. 2 or 3 military in the world in terms of combat power. The Russian military will probably leave the Ukraine war...No. 25 or 30 at least." Check out my interview w/ @chaunceydevega @Salon #UkraineRussiaWar salon.com/2022/05/10/has…

I saw de-miners hard at work last week in the Kyiv area. Russians placed mines in place with no military purpose. Estimates that it will take 10 years to fully undue what Russia did just out of hate. More war crimes. twitter.com/KyivIndependen…

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

I love this. We call it field craft in the US Army. Motivated, innovative soldiers using what they have in new and effective ways. twitter.com/BackAndAlive/s…

Russians in Mariupol. All I see is bad planning, bad tactics, bunching together, unaimed wild firing. #SlavaUkrayini twitter.com/RALee85/status…

The Battle of Mariupol. #urbanwarfare of the worst kind. 100,000 to 170,000 civilians trapped inside the battle area. House 2 house, intense combat. Ukrainian fighters still have defending advantages and strong pockets of resistance. Rubble is strong. Map: militaryland.net/tag/maps/

“From America with love," American 155 mm caliber M777 howitzers helping #Ukraine fight for their country, Europe, democracy.

Yes. More of this. As long as Russia as a State allows its leader and military to continue their genocidal campaign in Ukraine, they should be denied any international privileges. More sanctions, more restrictions. twitter.com/Reuters/status…

Mariupol still stands! #SlavaUkraini They are not only surviving, they are also holding down thousands of Russian military forces. #urbanwarfare twitter.com/TheStudyofWar/…

"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
