Want to help Ukraine? Here's an idea:

- Go to Google / Apple Maps or yandex.com/maps/
- Find a restaurant, school, train station, shop, ATM (they are in demand now!) in Russia
- Leave a 'review' on what is happening in Ukraine, especially with civilians

Regardless of the military outcomes, Russia is losing the intelligence and information war in Ukraine.
The RU/UA equipment loss tabulation by @oryxspioenkop keeps moving up for Russian forces - from 250 now to 420, and stuck at around 150 for UA forces. Why does this matter? 🧵

Social media are full of videos and photos of Russian military losses, including many taken by citizens and journalists across Ukraine - basically a massive live webcam of updates, see:

There is very little evidence of Ukrainian military losses - this is not to say they are not there, but so far UA military and society managed to keep a tight lid on them, testimony to good discipline and limited RU intel capability

Today's Komsomolskaya Pravda listed Poland as "Hitler's European Union" and "Gòralski SS Volunteer Legion" as invaders of the Soviet Union.

The "Góralski" SS legion, planned as 10000-men force, actually had *five* men -and its story would make a good Tarantino scrip. Thread. /1

Nazis tried to recruit Poles to join the SS without much success since 1939. Poland's Nazi occupiers came up with the story of 'Goralenvolk' suggesting that Tatra highlanders are actually Aryans and have nothing in common with Slav Poles. The first recruitment drive, offering /2

well-paid positions in Hans Frank's 'honorary guard' at Wawel Castle resulted in *six* men signing up. They were deemed so useless that they have been transferred to the "Pod Baranami" hotel to work as porters. /3
