1/8 Adviser to the Head of the Office of President of Ukraine, @Podolyak_M on Russian inhumane crime:

"Olenivka. Another very cynical provocation by the russian occupation troops since the beginning of the war.

#russiaisateroriststate

2/8 There is no doubt that this is a carefully planned attack on the colony by 🇷🇺. There are no operational military targets for 🇺🇦 in Olenivka. Moreover, Army has all tools to identify precisely the facilities to be destroyed: ammunition depots, operational states, fuel bases.

3/8 Scale and speed of the information campaign by 🇷🇺 propagandists indicate that this was a precisely planned, organised action. We know that some of captured defenders were transferred to barracks where the hit took place a few days before. Classic, cynical false flag operation

@Bundeskanzler

German Chancellor @Bundeskanzler wrote an excellent column that Germany is completely revising its internal and external policies after Russia's full-scale invasion into Ukraine.

Some quotes from that column are in the thread below.

bundesregierung.de/breg-en/news/a…

"🇷🇺 missiles have not only caused massive destruction in Kharkiv, Mariupol, Kherson, but shattered European and international peaceful order of the past few decades."

"Letting Putin get away with it would mean that violence can break the law practically without any consequences.

"New reality includes €100 billion special fund for Bundeswehr - the biggest turnaround in security policy in Federal Republic of 🇩🇪's history."

We are supporting 🇺🇦 – will do so for as long as necessary – in economic, humanitarian, financial terms and by delivering weapons"

Top 9 geopolitical defeats for Russia: results as we are almost at 150 days of war

The situation:

On geopolitical stage since February 24, Russia had many reasons to be disappointed. Putin has practically driven himself into a blockade and does not know how to get out of it.

1/9 🇷🇺's closest allies have shown Putin that they are not ready to get involved in a war for his sake. The members of the CSTO, which includes Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, did not want to decide on peacekeeping operations outside their countries.

2/9 Putin's closest friend, Alexander Lukashenko, 🇧🇾 president, has not deployed his troops to 🇺🇦, although he was under enormous pressure from 🇷🇺. Lukashenko understands perfectly well that he will not be able to cope with the consequences in the country.

1/4 The deal the EU signed with Azerbaijan has a lot of prospects.

However, I believe there is another possibility that the EU could consider - using gas resources of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Their reserves are very large (Turkmenistan's are 4th largest in the world).

2/4 To make this possible, a Trans-Caspian pipeline linking Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan needs to be built. From there gas can be transported to Europe through already constructed pipelines (that don't involve Russia).

3/4 Constructing this pipeline will help make Turkmenistan more economically independent and bring it out of Russian sphere of influence.

After the Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea was signed in 2018, legal obstacles for building the pipeline have been removed.

1/4 Lately there are a lot of articles in different media about war fatigue, uncertain outcomes of war and doubts about the scale of support for Ukraine. E.g.: nyti.ms/3PjQKnE

My thoughts on this: 🔽🔽🔽

2/4 We cannot stop fighting. Russia wants to destroy Ukraine and Ukrainians as it has proved countless times. And Putin will not stop at Ukraine unless he is defeated fully.

Putin is trying to destroy the global security system by invading Ukraine. He must not succeed.

3/4 We cannot win alone. We are outgunned and losing our best people daily. Our economy is in ruins.

To win, we need very specific things and we are asking for them. There is a big difference between not losing and winning: washingtonpost.com/world/2022/07/…

@Forbes

1/4 "What would be the economic impact on Russia if the United States declared Russia a state sponsor of terrorism (SST)? The impact would be significant and could burden the #Russian economy for decades", - @Forbes. forbes.com/sites/stuartan…

#russiaisaterrorisstate

2/4 Adding Russia to the SST list would make its relations with third countries very difficult. These countries would become a target of secondary sanctions unless specific exceptions are made. This will also enhance the effect of sanctions already imposed on Russia.

3/4 Recognizing Russia as SST would open up the possibilities of foreigners suing Russia in US courts - so Ukraine can officially sue Russia for reparations and other payments.
