“My friend, I have something to tell you. If I don't survive the next 3-4 days, I instruct you to convey to my Ola that it wasn’t for nothing and that wasn’t a mistake of our commanders. It's just that we have a difficult and heroic task and it will cost lives. (1) ImageImage
Still there is no task that is worthy of Olha embraces. I will do everything possible and impossible to get out of there alive and get my platoon out of there,but the fight will be epic. We will beat all crap out of the 🇷🇺,so they will shit with blood and wouldn’t forget it (2) Image
Also tell Zacharia,but later after our victory,that I will always be with her because she has my legs, my nails and my sense of humor (and that's the best ;) (3) ImageImage
For obvious reasons I can't write all this crap to Olya now. Sorry who put this responsibility on you, after all, you are a writer so you will get a new drama out of this” (4) Image
Viktor Onysko left this letter to his friend, and yesterday his wife published it on her Facebook. Victor was killed in action defending his family and country. He was my colleague - editing director- whom everyone knew and loved. Talented and bright. Forever in line. salute! Image

Killzone instead of frontline. War changed forever.

1/ There is no such thing as “frontline” anymore. Actually already half year or more. Instead of clear border appeared “killzone” — strip from 500m to 10km where Ukrainian and Russian positions are mixed together.
2/ Around — chaos: trenches, ruins, burned trees, bodies of dead that impossible to take back. Ground covered with craters from explosions. Everywhere barbed wire, optical fiber from drones, pieces of weapons. Enemy can be ahead, behind, from sides and for sure he will be in sky.
3/ New assault tactics: invaders crawl several days under anti-thermal cloaks. Food and water they get dropped by drones. Per night they crawl dozens, maybe hundreds meters. 2-5 soldiers — this already “accumulation of forces”.

THREAD: Europe struggles to understand Trump because Trump is a political wrestler. And wrestling is foreign to Europe. Let me explain. 1/12 Image
Every wrestler needs a stage name. Trump is “The Orange Toad” (or just “Taco”). He has signature moves and repeated catchphrases, just like any wrestler. 2/12
He even has a costume - the red MAGA hat. This is his wrestling gear. Without it, he looks like any other old businessman. With it, he becomes the character. 3/12

THREAD: You think I only criticize the West? Let me tell you about Ukraine. We definitely earned some of what happened to us. But not all of it. 1/18
I won't bore you with thousand-year history like putin does . I have one argument that destroys his "artificial state" logic: my grandmother. 2/18
She's 86. She sang me Ukrainian lullabies her grandmother taught her. In Ukrainian. That's it. Lenin and "Austrian spies" creating Ukrainians to spite russians? My grandmother's existence destroys that putin legend he talk so much. 3/18

🧵 THREAD: I need to share something that's been tearing me apart inside for long time now. An ethical crisis that's making it hard for me to speak to you, my audience here on Twitter. 1/ 15 Image
I see tens of thousands of you who care deeply about Ukraine. You find time, you donate money, you share our stories. Your compassion moves me every day. 2/15
But there's another reality that haunts me: For decades, your governments have been funding russia. The same russia that kills hundreds of Ukrainians daily, sending hundreds missiles and drones on our heads while we are sleeping 3/15

North Koreans have proven to be serious warriors,and this is bad news for all of you,as the countries of the Western "alliance" will still have to face them. In my opinion it's just a matter of time. I will remind you that U.S. troops are stationed in South Korea... for now.
Let's start with the fact that the first live prisoners from North Korea were taken only in the second month. This should prove to you that they are utterly hardened types who, when wounded, follow a single pattern: pull the pin, put a grenade to their head, and goodnight.
Those "spineless ones" who do not want or cannot do this will be taken out by their own. 100%. They do not care about the wounded and the dead—they just run forward, stepping over the bodies of their comrades.

1/10 years ago. Same days in November. There was no drones back than and someone suppose to be at the highest position possible to correct artillery fire. 10 years ago I was 26 and filmed this short film (link below) about 1 day at position called “Sky” near the Donetsk airport. Image
2/It was famous place back in 2014. Little suburb of Donetsk called Pisky. Compare to this place Bakhmut now looks pretty ok. Last time I was there, the city had turned into a field of shattered concrete rubble, with no intact wall standing. Image
3/ and when I came there for a first time people were taping their windows with duct tape to prevent them from shattering due to explosions….pretty dramatic turn of events.
