the ban on the transfer of American weapons to Azov brigade, which had been in effect since 2017. This is an important defeat of russian propaganda and the western journalists who were spreading it.
1/n Image

1/n Image
2/ Until 2013, only about 20-30% of Ukrainians (depending on the poll) were in favor of joining NATO. After the annexation of Crimea, that number went up to more than 50%. And now, after the full scale invasion, close to 90% of Ukrainians say that they want Ukraine to join NATO.
3/ Also, it was russian aggression that forced Sweden and Finland to join NATO. It is russian aggression that has prompted other countries to join NATO not “NATO’s expansion” forcing russia to attack the neighboring countries.

1/n Image
2/ Kasparov is one of the few russian dissidents who believes in victory for Ukraine. But he is upset that, despite Ukraine's defense of the West, the West still won’t give Ukraine the permissions and tools needed to win.
3/ Washington doesn’t even speak the language of victory. Instead, the White House says: “‘We will stand with Ukraine as long as it takes.” Kasparov adds that these words are “nonsense because this sentence is very ambiguous.”
