I am speechless. Ukraine is a battlefield of democracy against autocracy. The West either sides with Ukraine taking real, meaningful, effective actions now, or will eventually lose the rules-based order and safety for generations to come

In his insane speech Putin actually confirmed what we have written in December

The US insists that sanctions against NS2 will "undermine united front in response to Russia." Ukraine's - frontline's! - stance is not taken into account.

NS2 is not a deterrent. On the contrary, it's an incentive for Putin to further attack Ukraine /1

Why?
1) Putin needs Russian gas to flow to Europe;
2) Ukrainian transmission system is a route of largest capacity. It's well operational & maintained;
3) the fear to damage it & lose gas revenues/ Euro market in longer persp ties Putin in his further actions in Ukraine; /2
4) now Putin has little doubt that NS2 will be working. To speed up the process he is interested in crashing Ukraine & our pipeline. He presumes that in case UA system is destroyed NS2 will not be stopped: Europe won't have much other gas routes available; /3

Leaving geopolitical debates aside, human dimension of the Russia's looming large-scale invasion is rarely discussed. But it would affect the lives of tens of millions. In and beyond Ukraine
Small thread /1
#UkraineWillResist: 1/3 of Ukrainians are ready to take up weapons if Russia further invades. We will eventually kick Russians out - but at what price?
Ukraine has been mourning deaths of every defender Russia had killed over last 8 years. These are our best & bravest people /2
Large-scale invasion would destroy critical infrastructure and cause severe humanitarian catastrophe. It would be amplified by covid & blackouts amidst winter cold /3

This list was put together in Aug. Since then the situation has only worsened 🧵

Russia weaponized gas, attacked more #CrimeanTatars, shut down prominent NGOs, orchestrated migrants crisis w/ Lukashenka's hands, never stopped cyber attacks, fueled antivax campaigns etc /1
Lack of punishment for Putin's aggression brought us here: to the edge of large-scale European war. Russia amasses troops & weapons at the UA border & explicitly threatens to further invade & destroy Ukraine: they put all necessary resources in place to begin it right away /2
Brave #UkrainiansWillResist. No doubt. We have been doing it for almost 8yrs so far.

But as the bully can still be deterred, all efforts should go there:
Sanction Russia and its oligarchs #ArmUkraine
#StopNordStream2
Act now. In advance

Stop #TerroRussia to defend democracy /3

Some seem to not understand why Ukraine "insists on keeping aggressor's gas transit" through our territory.
Oil & gas revenues constitute up to 30% of Russia's state budget income, while Europe is one of the top markets for Russian gas /1
The need to have UA transmission system operational is a safeguard against RU large-scale aggression, which could eventually damage Ukrainian pipeline along with other critical infrastructure objects. The deterrent disappears when Kremlin gets alternative routes for their gas /2
UA gas transmission system is complex, of necessary capacity & maintenance. There's no logic for Russia to invest billions in building projects like NS2, unless the goal pursued is to untie their hands to destroy Ukraine while keeping gas revenues safe #StopNordStream2 /3

Wladiwostok jetzt.
Die Putin-Diktatur schlägt mit aller Härte zu.
@RegSprecher, @peteraltmaier, @ArminLaschet, @HeikoMaas, @NowaboFM, @ManuelaSchwesig & Co. wollen das auf keinen Fall mit der Haupteinnahmequelle des Regimes verbinden.
Darum: #StopNordStream2
