When #RussianWorld #RusskiyMir comes to you, your life gets destroyed, and everything you loved gets smashed. See what the Russians brought to Ukraine.
1: Bakhmut.
(This THREAD was inspired by @Mariana_Betsa's comparison of Mariupol before and after #RusskiyMirMeansDeath came)
@Mariana_Betsa 2. Sevyerodonetsk before and after #RusskiyMir
3. Maryinka is a proof that #RusskiyMirMeansDeath
4. Chernihiv is a city with over 1000 years of history, and a touristic magnet with all its ancient churches, and beautiful Desna river. I stayed in this hotel "Ukraine" with my colleagues in 2015, and later many times with my kids or alone. #RusskiyMirMeansDeath
5. This hotel in Zaporizhzhya was built with much passion and addressed those guests who wanted to celebrate weddings or other special days with family and friends. Of course #RusskiyMirMeansDeath could not tolerate it.
6. Svyatohirska Monastery was a saint place for hundreds of thousands of Russian-speaking members of the Russian Orthodox Church. But #RusskiyMir is about unlimited violence, not about faith. They destroyed even the places they called "sacred". Because #RusskiyMirMeansDeath
7. Mariupol was a blooming city on the Sea of Azov. Not anymore. #RusskiyMir #RusskiyMirMeansDeath
8. Izyum was a city #RusskiyMir kept under occupation for several months. I visited it after the liberation with a batch of humanitarian help, and recorded my impressions in this thread:
9. This is the essential point one needs to know about #RusskiyMir. It is about domination through unlimited violence. First moral violence, and if it does not work - physical violence. That is why the Russians love to threaten the world with their nukes. In their phantasies...
10. ...the Russians love to dream about how they will annihilate the world with the nukes. Last year, I wrote a piece for @cepa about how the Russians composed children songs about the nukes, and believed in spiritual power of the nukes. It is #RusskiyMir
cepa.org/article/how-ru…
11. So it is not a surprise when Putin delivers his nukes to Lukashenka, or when Medvedev posts his threats on Telegram dreaming on annihilating The Hague. It is the only way of communication #RusskiyMir developed: threats, violence, death. Because #RusskiyMirMeansDeath.

A THREAD: Our 2024 #ChristmasDrones campaign is running! Why it is important, and how we at the @EuroResilience deliver donated goods directly to the frontline? Get insight from this THREAD (And a donation link: ) /1paypal.com/donate?campaig…
During our last donation campaign by @EuroResilience @BrennpunktUA and @frontlinekit, we have raised €277,000. For this money, we have produced hundreds of drones, and bought addition equipment for the drones units: off-the-shelf drones, cars, antennas, power stations. /2 Image

@EuroResilience @BrennpunktUA @frontlinekit I personally traveled days through Ukraine, bringing equipment directly to the frontline. When you stay at the units, sleep in their premises, eat with soldiers, and escape Russian drones attacks, this creates bonds. Soldiers tell you what they REALLY need, and trust you. /3 Image

A large number of genuine Ukrainian accounts I follow on different social media (and in many cases I personally know people behind them) are looking positively towards Trump's presidency, and see him as a hope for any true action. This shows how much Biden has pissed off Ukraine.
I stress: I don't say if Trump is good or bad. I say: many Ukrainians who risk their life daily, many at the front, are glad that Biden's team leaves the stage. They are well aware of Trump's ambiguity, and of what he & his team said about 🇺🇦 or Putin. Still they are relieved.
Biden's team went to this catastrophe deliberately and for years. From Ukraine's hero who has provided Ukraine with Javelins - to a pity old delusional man who is afraid of the might of the country he runs.

THREAD The real problem in communication btw Ukraine and its allies is the total lack of a common post-war world vision ➡️ the lack of a common goal. 🇺🇦 goal is to guarantee survival of the 🇺🇦 state AND of 🇺🇦nation, AND to achieve sustainable security for them in the future. 1/8
This goal is impossible to achieve without a full military defeat of Russia, and either significant demilitarization of Russia, or a significant increase of Ukraine’s military capacities, including gigantic long-range strike capacities (cruise missiles and Air Force). 2/8
The Western goal is different. While it’s not aimed against Ukraine per se
and would even welcome Ukraine’s survival, first of all it is aimed at prevention of Russia’s uncontrolled collapse, which associates with global risks (while Ukraine’s defeat is seen as a local risk). 3/8

I have just return from a very interesting NATO conference in Yerevan, Armenia. As much as the conference was amazing, the contrast to practically Russia-occupied country was grotesque. Lots of signs of Russia’s dominance: from cinema Moscow to purely Russian advertising /1 Image

Russian plates on luxury cars, Russian announcements regarding the Eurasian Economic Union in the airport, Russian business lounges, tasteless Russian ad of “Crude Oil Vodka” /2 Image

I felt absolutely unsafe every minute outside of the group. The level of subordination is crazy. Russian flags even on sweets shops, and even “Armenian-Chinese Friendship Society” addresses people in Russian (!) not in Armenian or Chinese. /3 Image

The event at Germany’s army academy @FueAkBwHH has started. Ukraine‘s honorary consul Iryna Tybinka: Ukrainians are tired, but everyone understands: we have no choice but to fight. Those who demand a sort of cease fire, or stop of arms delivery, demand our death. /1

Marcus @MarcusFaber: Ukrainians defend us all with their fight, we need to be thankful. I visit Ukraine regularly, have been five times in Ukraine, and speak with civilians and NGOs, they know why they fight. /2
@MarcusFaber Hendrik Remmel from #GIDS: Ukraine is in strategic defensive since a year, its army's challenges are the same. First of all the lack of manpower. Ukraine needs tanks, IFVs, other equipment, to achieve dominance vs. Russia, as Russia's strategy is now: "we hold longer than UA". /3

A marvelous explosion of a Russian ammunition depot in Toropets, Tver region, north-west from Moscow, after a Ukrainian drone has hit it last night.
More video from this morning in Russian #Tver region where an ammunition depot has been demilitarized by a Ukrainian drone.
International seismic stations have recorded up to 15 massive explosions equivalent to earthquakes of 2.0 to 3.2 magnitude, likely related to secondary explosions in a Russian Toropets ammunition depot in Tver region, hit last night by a Ukrainian drone. Image
