Brief video report from #Lyman, a town in northern Donetsk Oblast that was recently liberated by #Ukraine. The population is now free from terror. The grim scenes on the edge of town, with #Russian soldiers dead along the road, are being cleaned up. washingtonpost.com/video/politics…
Alexey @Navalny argues for the West to be thinking about post-war #Russia to ensure the cycle over #Ukraine doesn't simply restart; suggests calibrating policies like lifting sanctions towards shaping a parliamentary democracy in Russia. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…
#pt: Navalny: "while I commend European leaders for their ongoing success in supporting Ukraine, I urge them not to lose sight of the fundamental causes of war. The threat to peace ... in Europe is aggressive imperial authoritarianism, endlessly inflicted by Russia upon itself."
#pt: Navalny notes that Western leaders "have been defeated and lost ground due to their support for one war or another. In Russia, there is simply no such thing. Here, war is always about profit and success." Chechnya, Georgia, Crimea, Syria: all furnished the same lesson.
#pt: Navalny notes that while #Ukraine is central to imperial-minded #Russians, "jealousy of Ukraine" is far more widespread in post-Soviet Russia: Russians saw Ukraine—with less resources and less external help—have an even worse 1990s, and then rise above Russia anyway.
Much of #Iran's drone program traces back to the #US drone brought down there in 2011.

Dealing with some #Russian disinformation

Elon Musk tripling down and making the less innocent explanations look like the right ones: first, pushing #Russia's current favoured political-military strategy (a "ceasefire") and now framing the invasion of #Ukraine as a "civil war".

#pt: Telling that Elon Musk used the 2012 #Ukraine electoral map, rather than the 2019 one that brought Zelensky to power, but his framing of "pro-Russian" Ukrainians as being in favour of #Russia's invasion and secession was exactly the mistake Putin made

A rare misstep from #Ukraine in its messaging. What #Russia has done is bad enough; there is no need for embellishments.
