Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges @general_ben very clear in his key note at the #AnnualConferenceOnRussia in #Tartu: in 1941, the Allies set a goal: unconditional surrender of Germany. Now we need to act similarly: the goal must be to defeat Russia first. /1
Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges @general_ben: the situation on the frontline is bad, but the outlook is unfair gloomy. Russia started the 10 years ago, from the best positions, but it controls not more than 1/5 of Ukraine's territory. The Black Sea is just "a cool name". /2
@general_ben Russia's success at Avdiivka has no strategic meaning, "while everyone talks about it as if it were Stalingrad". Of course, Ukraine needs mobilisation to reinforce tired troops, but is is a political decision, you need to take in a democracy. /3
THREAD Some bullet points on "Bundeswehr/Taurus Leaks" by the Russian top propagandists. 1) According to Russia, in a "tapped call" four German high-ranked officers discussed technical details of delivering Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine, and how they can be used. /1
2) It's not clear if the 38-minutes call is authentic. Many details point out, it can be authentic, at least in parts 3) The talk itself is absolutely legal from the point of view of international & of Germany's law. Germany may deliver weapons to Ukraine for self-defence, and /2
...Germany's generals of course need to discuss details of such deliveries, and their impact. 4) What is important. If the tapped call is authentic, it reveals a huge breach in communication security of the Bundeswehr. Russians have managed to record a 38-minutes long meeting /3
Finally this video from the frontline near Avdiivka arrived - after days of heavy fighting, the 47th mechanised brigade sent me this video of how 100 of our light drones reached them (and helped a lot). The amazing @BrennpunktUA community campaign helped to raise 160 drones... /1
Another 30 drones were donated to 25th brigade via @frontlinekit and its amazing leader Richard Woodruff, and... /2
@frontlinekit Another 30 drones were sent to another battalion of the heroic 47th brigade, via connection provided by @motytchak. But this is not all! /3
In her speech at the European Parliament, Yuliia Navalnaya mentions Ukraine only once, says that arms delivery do not help (and "nothing works" from "rushing help" for Ukraine), but praises YouTube ads against Putin and says, Western lawyers and Russian citizens will defeat Putin
This is a continuation of Navalny's and his organisation's policy towards military support for Ukraine. Both Navalny and his aides repeatedly pledged against military support for Ukraine, asking for money for Navalny's YouTube campaigns.
If you are not agree to Navalny's team that Ukraine must be deprived of arms support as the latter does not work, you may donate for the 47th mechanised brigade of Ukraine, which is fighting at Avdiivka:

Germany's Chancellor Scholz says today #Taurus4Ukraine are "out of question". He arguments that for Taurus delivery German soldiers must be sent to Ukraine and this is impossible. Numerous experts say Chancellor lies. I agree. Let me remind the timeline of this disgrace THREAD /1
Taurus discussion takes place since Summer 2023 at least. To send Taurus, a decision must be taken by Germany's "Security Council" where Chancellor has saying. Arguments against sending Taurus have never been made public, but Scholz-near politicians dropped numerous ideas /2
Amid those, the fear of escalation was named, the need to program with Germany-delivered geodata, the need to send missiles together with other Western allies etc. (Some of them are dismantled in this interview: ) /3
Amid the shot down of a Russia's A-50 AWACS, I'd like to remind you a propaganda comic from 2012, designed by a pedophilia-topics-obsessed artist Zashtopik. It presented a number of situations which would go wrong if Putin would not be re-elected. Here is a story of a pilot /1
"This is Major Smirnov. He serves at an airbase in Kaluga region" (most probably Shaikovka, from where the Russian Nazis hit Ukrainian residential areas today. Note his blue eyes and blonde hair, stressed so much) /2
"Now it's fine! But some time ago it was a hard time. The military pilots were ignored. His family lived in a dormitory. He got no salary". (Note his Aryan blonde family, and sexualised wife. Remember, the artist loved to work with pedophile themes, just google Заштопик) /3
