This morning, 🇷🇺Dmitry Medvedev decided to post a lengthy letter 🇵🇱"On Poland" - it is a curious mix of Soviet and pan-Slavic mythology with mockery, dire criticism and veiled threats against Poland - here are the key points 🧵
Morawiecki, Kaczynski and Czech/Slovenian PM trip to Kyiv was 'like Lenin's trip in a German-funded armoured train', promised Zelensky friendship - but 'lied, of course'
Poland suffers from 'long-term, pathological Russophobia' and does not mind its cost 'if the shed burnt down, let the house burn down too'

While 🇷🇺Russia is busy destroying 🇺🇦Ukraine, 🇬🇪Georgia should seize the moment and take and Russia-backed Abkhazia and South Ossetia back by force, ask Twitter couch hawks.

Why is this not going to happen? A short 🧵
The Georgian government is trying to avoid *any* escalation with Russia - they are not even implementing Russia sanctions, and have not been put on the Russian 'hostile nations' list

eurasianet.org/georgia-says-i…
In fact, Georgian government is so eager to please Russia these days, that they regularly turn back Russian dissidents, including Dmitry Gudkov themoscowtimes.com/2022/01/31/ex-…, Navalny’s ally Lyubov Sobol civil.ge/archives/451334 and a Dozhd journalist fleeing jam-news.net/georgia-denies…

A former student of mine, Maxim, was killed by Russian tank fire in Bucha today while helping to evacuate civilians from the town. His civilian car was shot at killing all passengers.

He was a kind soul, always willing to help others. Here's the last photo I got from him. RIP Image
As Bucha is under heavy fire, Maxim's family cannot evacuate his body. They are desperate for help if anyone has any idea where they can turn for help that would be great. Burn in hell, Putin & co
Maxim's friends have organised a fundraiser to help his family

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:

twitter.com/UAWeapons
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

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
