1/4 #Kharkiv is my native city. It hurt a lot to see what was happening to it. Now we can already say that Kharkiv withstood and we have had some success in the battle for it.

#UkraineUnderAttack #UkraineRussiaWar
2/4 What exactly tipped the scales in our favor? Motivation of Defenders is one of the main factors. Russian-speaking Kharkiv formed a powerful territorial guards unit together with volunteer movement.
3/4 Instead of flowers russians got harsh resistance and bloody battles. Everyone wants to arm themselves and fight when our homes, schools and parks are being bombed.
4/4 Our army and Defenders didn't have it easy. But for now we have serious operational successes, and Kharkiv for the first time in 70 days has become almost unreachable for barrel artillery.

We will restore Kharkiv. Every brick of it. It's our city, it's our home. Our Ukraine.

I would like to tell you a little more about the women who are now traveling to Turkey to try and save their men. Each post of this thread is a story of a family that is now in great danger of never seeing each other again.
#SaveAzov #SaveAzovstal #AzovstalExtraction 👇
1.Olga Boiko, wife of Ievhen Kichkir, Senior Marine, 36th brigade: "Each of our men deserves to pick up his child again, hug his wife, see his Motherland. We believe that our Defenders will be able to get evacuation to a third country and stay safe there until the war is over." ImageImage
2. Natalia Zarytska, wife of Bohdan Semenets, Azov Battallion: "My husband has served in Azov since 2019. We have been together for 3,5 years, and on 17th April 2022 we got married at Azovstal. Our son Sasha, 8, drew this plea when we hid from bombs in a basement." ImageImageImage

1/4 🧵After putin's statements yesterday it became clear that he will only stop where Ukrainian army will stop him.
#UkraineRussiaWar
2/4 To change the situation in the East radically and begin attacking, we need at least 2,000 artillery barrels and hundreds of MLRS with unlimited supply of guns and missiles. #ArmUkraineNow
3/4 We need thousands of armored vehicles to safely get infantry and artillery to the frontlines. Hundreds of tanks to break the enemy's defense.

We need thousands of trucks and tens of thousands of pick-up trucks to quickly move troos to the frontlines and maneuver.

Let's get interactive! Look through this 🧵 - each comment is a question. Like the one you're the most interested in, and tomorrow I will answer top-3 liked questions.
1. How many russians must die for them to retreat? When will the war end?
2. Is there a chance that putin will use nuclear weapons?

Since 2014 UA was saying: "NordStream 2 is a mistake and russia will use its gas as a weapon".
We knew it too well - russia used it to manipulate UA politics for 30 years. 1/4🧵
#UkraineUnderAttack
The permission to build Nord Stream 2 has sped up putin's decision to attack Ukraine. 2/4
Yesterday russia used gas blackmail against Poland and Bulgaria. 3/4

There was reporting on @a_schallenberg questioning Ukraine’s EU accession. Such messaging is highly worrying just days after @vonderleyen and @JosephBorrellF hit the ground in Kyiv, pledging unprecedented support. Morally & strategically wrong on the scale of Nordstream2!🧵:
1/According to @a_schallenberg, UA does not “deserve” the EU candidate status “so early”. According to him, it would be “unfair” to the states in the Western Balkans for whom the road to the EU candidacy took longer. Well,I’ll just leave this here for you (pls claim the credits)
2/ While the EU’s decision to grant or not a candidate status to Ukraine in June will be political, it should be based on objective criteria and assessment by the @EU_Commission providing the EU members with a clear recommendation
