This has happened with every major category of weapon, from tanks to F-16s and now to ATACMS: Ukraine begs for them, and Russian attacks eventually makes refusals to supply them untenable. They are then released, to outrage but no significant reaction from the Kremlin… 🧵
…Had they all been released in a shorter timeframe, Ukraine might have won the war by now. It seems reasonable to conclude that these weapons have been drip-fed to Ukraine to prevent Kyiv from losing but stopping it from beating Russia, for fear of consequences of Russia defeat.
Absolutely the wrong policy, as it has cost Ukraine thousands of lives, and the West has no influence on what happens in Russia anyway. Preventing a Russian defeat only keeps the Putin regime in power, allowing it to strengthen again and continue to be a threat.

This was a foolish strategy by the Russian opposition: These people's votes are going to be stolen anyway, and lines at polling stations allows the regime to claim a high turnout, making the sham vote seem legitimate.

When faced with a sham election simply don't participate.
I don't think the Putin regime is yet strong enough to FORCE everyone to vote - and anyway forcing people to vote would undermine legitimacy.

What the regime needs for legitimacy is for people to WILLINGLY show up to vote - and the Russian opposition gave them that.

Foolishness

Video of crash of Russian Il-76 military transport in Belgorod.

Russia says 63 Ukrainian POWs were on board, but this type of plane is used to transport missiles and Shahed attack drones, and the size of the explosion perhaps indicates explosives were on board.
Ukrainska Pravda reports, referring to Ukrainian military, that the plane was actually carry S-300 air defense system missiles, which the Russians have been using to attack Kharkiv.
It seems unlikely that the plane was carrying Ukrainian POWs - why use a valuable military resource, which is needed for transporting high-value military assets, for this task, when they could be transported much more cheaply by bus or train?
