1/4 You can often hear in the West that putin must be given a chance to keep his face. That russians should not be humiliated or they will become more aggressive and dangerous.That they should be allowed to retreat from Ukraine like from Afghanistan - through a "golden bridge".

2/4 This just shows that some politicians care only for short-term economic gains and not the global security system. Although this war is very clear and obvious - russia attacked Ukraine for no reason. russia is the guilty party.

3/4 A compromise is always a violation of the victim's rights and partial saticfaction of the aggressor. We must adhere to international law. The more "golden bridges" there are for retreating in the world, the more attempts of violence and breaking the global order.

1/4 current surplus at russian accounts (exports minus imports, to simplify) is now about $96 billion. It is four times as much as last year. If the trend continues, it can grow up to $250 billion - almost the same as the $300 billion of assets currently frozen in Western banks

2/4 russian oil and gas exports are not increasing but prices for energy are growing rapidly. #russia will suffer economically once it uses up all the Western components and goods, and no new ones come in. But it will happen much later.

3/4 #putin is trying to play a long game so that growing prices make the West more susceptible to negotiations and lifting of sanctions. Without a complete oil and gas embargo (implemented soon) he might succeed.

1 Sanctions are supposed to weaken russian war machine economically. But even the strongest ones will remain ineffective if russia finds ways to sidestep them - and it is actively working to make that happen (further proof that sanctions really are bad for russian economy).

2 While European Union banned all ships under russian flag it should take the next step and ban all ships with russian ownership, regardless of the ship’s flag. US and UK are already doing that, why not Europe?

3 Another example is banning sales of high-tech military equipment to russia which was supposed to have happened already back in 2014 (at least to some extent). And yet, experts find this equiment in captured russian vehicles etc. - sold after 2014.

Appeal of Nazar Rozlutsky, PhD in History, now a Warrior in Ukrainian Army

1/6 I am not a military man. I never wanted to be one. I am a researcher, a museum worker, a PhD holder. A writer.

But recently I became a military man because there is a war in my country.

2/6 Thousands of historians, writers, accountants, bank clerks, developers, teachers, designers and other professions have become military people. Some of them have already died.

3/6 But they continue to fight. Ukraine is behind them. If they lay down arms, their parents will be murdered, their wives and daughters will be raped, their homes destroyed or confiscated.

@ZelenskyyUa

There will be a negotiating table. There will be peace" The main thing from @ZelenskyyUa speech in #Davos

The President spoke at the Ukrainian breakfast:

1/4 When will the war end? It depends on many factors. First of all, from the desire to fight the fear, as well as from the desire of the 🇷🇺.

There will be a negotiating table, that's for sure. The only question is with whom Ukraine will negotiate, with which president of 🇷🇺.

2/4 Ukraine is not going to make concessions. We are fighting on our land, for our land, for our future.

When Ukraine says that it wants to return all its territories, it means to return all its territories.

1/4 russia is responsible for the grain crisis and looming hunger on many levels. Together with blocking the sea ports so no exports are possible, they burned a lot of grain silos and millions of tons of wheat with them in Ukraine.
#UkraineRussiaWar

2/4 russia has also mined, poisoned and cluttered Ukrainian fields so no farming is possible on them in the near future. Also, when farms are ruined, more people are forced to flee their homes and become refugees.
#UkraineUnderAttack

3/4 russia is gaining a lot of profit from this as it sells its own grain at a much higher price and earns money from fertilizer and fuel exports.
