Lots of very interesting and emotional news yesterday as a tide of villages became liberated in #Kharkiv region.

This country is unbreakable. He’s a pizzeria owner who brings pizza to #Kharkiv, a city daily shelled by #Russia. “Ppl just call from abroad & order 20 pizzas for your firefighters. I bring them - they say we didn’t order it! Well, it’s a surprise!” #Ukraine

To those kindly asking the coordinate of this pizzeria - it’s night in Ukraine. I’ll post them in the morning Ukrainian time. Thank you, people! I’m overwhelmed.
This is the website of the pizzeria. Unfortunately only in Ukrainian and Russian.

Why is Putin bombing maternity wards and shelters labeled “CHILDREN”? Why does he order reckless attacks on nuclear plants and major dams? Why are Russian soldiers mining humanitarian corridors?

War is the continuation of bargaining by other means. It is an opportunity to convey information to your opponent-information about your capabilities, resolve, and the ability to inflict costs.
One of the two causes of war is private information. Wars occur, because opponents disagree on a peaceful division of some prize. They disagree, because they lack accurate information on each other’s capabilities, resolve, and ability to inflict costs.

1) Heard this story on the news, this TRUE STORY. Amid the war in Ukraine with people dying, fleeing, etc. stray animals are becoming a real problem. So a group of Ukrainian women have been trying to capture as many of the strays as they can & take them to vets & animal shelters
2) One of the women found a particularly ornery husky who was clearly scared, hungry, and just a bit viscous but she still managed to subdue it and take it to the vet. The vet checked the animal, it was healthy, hungry and scared, oh & by the way
IT WAS A WOLF!

It has been said that "He who controls the sky controls the battlefield". This has been true since the mid 1930s as modern warfare began to evolve. There are limits to airpower. We learned this during the Vietnam conflict. Air assets cannot occupy real-estate.

A lot has been written and postulated about Russias miserable performance in the air. On paper the Russians airforce (VKS) is impressive. Watching the VKS performance I was less than impressed.

Thoughts from #Kyiv – morning March 9
1. Ridicule of #Russia’s invasion is becoming increasingly widespread and global.
2. The latest (tongue in cheek) arguments on social media focus on whether the Territorial Brigade of #Mykolayiv should be 8th on the list of Europe’s most powerful armies or whether this spot should be given to the Roma of #Kakhovka who regularly steal Russian tanks.
3. Personally, I am pushing for formal recognition of Ukraine’s farmers as among the best equipped armed forces in Europe. During recent days, their tractors have towed away so much stalled 🇷🇺 equipment (tanks, multiple-launch rocket systems, armored vehicles…)...

as russian bombing of kharkiv gets worse, my queer family already financially struggles to buy food, secure stockpiles for bomb shelters. help them now while the city has connection, bank cards work & they can cash them out. in day or two they might be cut off

Russian citizens, Russian friends,
In the dark days of war, you are all innocent victims of Vladimir Putin's concealments and lies. Your own president has made it a criminal offense for the Russian press to talk about a Russian invasion of Ukraine, although of course that is the truth.

1.Air raid warning means time to think and write in the basement. Family is safe. Planes flying overhead but no explosions nearby.

1.Air raid warning means time to think and write in the basement. Family is safe. Planes flying overhead but no explosions nearby.
2. Two valuational/behavioral contrasts that strike me as worthy of analysis in this war:
hierarchy vs. heterarchy (spontaneous teams)
passivity vs. agency (collective and personal)
hierarchy vs. heterarchy (spontaneous teams)
passivity vs. agency (collective and personal)
3. When Russian soldiers entered Ukraine (and as they continue to invade) they were following orders. The hierarchy told them to move in, so they moved. That's the way things work in an army

'@Amnesty has confirmed that a 220mm Uragan rocket dropped cluster munitions on the Sonechko nursery and kindergarten in the town of Okhtyrka in Sumy Oblast, on Feb 25, where local people were seeking safety from the fighting.

Russia is in deep deep trouble. Even if they capture Kiev it’s like grabbing a tiger by it’s tail. Even if they win phase 3 (dominate) they will lose phase 4 (stabilize).
War is a TOOL for a political objective and I just don’t see Ukrainians accepting a Russian puppet govt.

Military planners often underestimate the will of the people. There was clear difference when we trained the Peshmerga vs the Iraqi Army or the Afghan one. Armies have to WANT to fight. The Ukrainian resolve is simply extraordinary.
The Russians are in a corner that would force them use a level of violence that would only unite the Ukrainians and the global community further.
Even if this week looks like a Ukrainian loss, THEY will not lose this war.
