Russians simply don't understand us. At all. Thread 🧵:

I'm not talking about our language, of course we do have a barrier — hence the legends about «Polish mercenaries» after acquiring
Ukrainian radio comms. I mean something else. 1/7
They don't understand a single bit of our psychology. For example, right now they're sure, that after yesterday's shelling we want to surrender, when in fact we only want to achieve victory faster — and the record speed of our army fundraisers in reaching their goals is proof.2/7
Before, they were sure that we would meet their soldiers with flowers. Today, they'll be sure that we'll surrender if they knock out our heat and electricity, tomorrow they'll be sure of something else. Any Ukrainian would point out their mistake. But they're not Ukrainian. 3/7
They simply assume we think the same as them. A whole century of brainwashing with the «brotherly people» tale did not just go by: now the tale haunts them, causing trouble along their way. 4/7
They're unable to understand the difference between us. That we think differently. That we have different values. Different visions for future.

And that we'll never surrender.

They do the things which would make them surrender. That's their logic. 5/7
«Let's do something that would be hurtful for ourselves, we're the same!», they say.

And they do it. But there's no result.

A ruminant nation is unable to understand a Cossack nation. But even this simple thought is quite hard for them. 6/7
We'll never surrender. We'll never be forced into submission. We'll never forgive.

We know, victory will be ours. 7/7

Thread 🧵
Unlike the psychology of a single person, the psychology of huge people masses is much simpler. If taking a single nationality, moreover a proimperialist one, it's even prognosable. 1/9
The start of any offensive war Russians will perceive with enthusiasm. This is the first stage of their emotion – enthusiastic patriotism. «We'll kick their asses without even noticing», «Second army of the world», «You're making our Iskanders laugh», etc. 2/9
If a «short victorious war» turns into a «long and hurtful war», the emotions of Russians change. Firstly, it's absolute denial («We couldn't have lost and not take Kyiv, it's some clever plan!...»), and then – a search of some magic solution for victory. 3/9

Thread 🧵

Tomorrow you'll open your eyes in the morning. Independence Day will start.

You'll check social media and see things which are already usual for a Ukrainian and a miracle for others around the world. 1/8
You'll see people, maybe even your friends, buying something for the frontline and collecting donations. Or rebuilding someone's destroyed house. Or saving cats from burned villages. 2/8
You'll see yet another video from our soldiers, dancing and joking where anyone in the world would cry. You'll see pictures from hell, and people who became more dangerous than the devil himself there. 3/8

24.08 are two dates in one. It's our Independence Day, as well as a half-year anniversary since the start of full-scale war in Ukraine.

It's time to analyse something.
So, the Russian Federation had the goals of:

Đ°) destroying Ukrainian statehood;
b) receiving a land corridor with occupied enclaves of Crimea and Transnistria;
c) strengthening their role in the world, ideally returning to «superpower» status.
To achieve their political goals, the Russian Federation had these goals their military and secret services:

1) to achieve air domination ASAP, destroying our AA and Air Force;
2) destroying Ukrainian armed resistance, which was perceived by them as chaotic and rather small;

Dear @MarvelStudios and whomever it may concern,

I am a sapper squad commander, currently recovering from battle wounds received while fighting for freedom in Ukraine. It was the same battle, in which a comrade of mine was killed. His callsign was "Marvel". He chose it himself.
And truly, he was a real superhero and died like a hero, dragging out a wounded soldier.
Despite realising that I cannot ask for anything from you, I would like to see a line in any of your upcoming movies, paying tribute to the brave Ukrainian private Olexander "Marvel" Ostapenko, who died in the battle for freedom.

A quick follow-up on how, on the other hand, our slogans were made real:
«Glory to Ukraine» – check. The world knows, that we have crazy strength and bravery, and it's better not to fuck with us. Films are filmed, books and songs are written about our courage – and this is just the start.
«Glory to the heroes» – check. To those both dead and alive – and again, throughout the world.
