Today I failed. I've done everything possible and slightly more, but failed. My plan was to get to recently retaken Town B. by train. But no success. It was a long long day. So listen to the story.
I took this railcar to get there. That's a service railcar that carries our track repair crews. Image
70 km drive. Hypnotizing.
The main problem for us on retaken territories is about mines. See that sign saying that mines ahead? Image
Used missiles on the way. ImageImage
And long, long way again.
Broken #grain storage unit on the way. Image
Then 10+ km walking with demining officers. They are awesome. Really. Image
First broken track. No problem for us. Few hours to fix it, not more. Image
#russians made a cross over the tracks for their military machinery. Will fix that too. No worries. ImageImageImage
Then we found #uragan projectile, that still not detonated. ImageImage
Just imagine, this projectile was produced back in 1976. It’s older than me!
Neutralizing the projectile right away.
And more track damages. ImageImageImage
And #phosphorus bombs. ImageImage
200 days unused railway stations. Image
Something strange that we can’t identify.

So, here is the story of defense industrial base conference #DFNC1: US edition in Washington DC, 6-7 Dec.

Danger: long 🧵 ahead!
Looking back to September when we hosted the first-ever defense industry forum #DFNC1 in Kyiv, I must say the US edition is a logical next step. We had 13 US companies visiting Kyiv in September.


Now we brought 38 Ukrainian companies to the US. State-owned, led by @ukroboronprom and @HermanSmetanin personally, and private. B2B dialogue is crucial for further development of joint collaboration.

First time since the beginning of the #RussiaUkraineWar we brought together 67 factory managers of @ukroboronprom, our state-owned defense industry holding.

And here is why it's important.

Danger! Mid-size 🧵 here! :) Image
Here in Ukraine we work hard on increasing local production of weapons and ammunition. Manufacturing more #IronThings that help our armed forces fight #russians out of my land.
Therefore our factories and factory managers become important. Being neglected for decades, our factories return to life and start growing production volumes.

My President @ZelenskyyUa commanded me to check all #bombshelters in Kyiv in 10 days.

It happened after 3 people died in front of a closed shelter in Kyiv during another shelling by #russians.

Danger: long 🧵 ahead.
Yes, it's #russsians who are responsible for those deaths. No argue.

But it’s we, who could save those lives. If our shelters were properly functioning. And actually they should on 464th day of the war.
After finishing my day work in the ministry, I started digging in the shelters issue. I read reports and met people. And I must say the issue seems to be complicated.

So, I’ve made #TokyoMarathon2023 today.

All goddamn 42 195m. However, not in #Tokyo, but from #Borodianka through #Irpin and #Bucha to #Kyiv.

Danger: long 🧵 ahead.
Why. Bcoz we have to be ready for #marathon in this war, in UZ, in our lives.

It was my 2nd marathon (1st one was @nycmarathon in 2019).

Today I had 3 goals:
1. Not to die - ✔️
2. Not to stop - ✔️
3. Run in <5h - ✔️

My result today is worse than 1st one, but I'm fine with it.
I've started training exactly one month ago. On 5th of Feb. My trainer Alexander Kuzin drafted my training plan right on the napkin. 4 weeks, 3 trainings a week.

So, here is the story of @POTUS's visit to #Kyiv and how #RailForceOne was born.

Grab some 🍿, @Amtrak.

Danger: long 🧵 ahead. Image
I don't actually remember how we got from putin’s idea to “take Kyiv in 3 days” to President #Biden walking across #Kyiv together with my President #Zelenskyy on the 362nd day of the war. Image
Let's just say that Biden’s visit to Kyiv yesterday was a historic moment. Image

So, now when the story with @BorisJohnson’s stylish hat became public, have to tell the whole story.

Danger: long 🧵 ahead.
The story starts in #Irpin, where @BorisJohnson was during his recent visit to Ukraine. Look how grumpy he was. And I thought that the reason could be in his hat. That’s #londonunderground hat, btw.
So when Boris visited our station shop, @Pertsovskyi_O asked @BorisJohnson whether he’d like to try a different hat. A proper one. Ukrainian Railways hat.
