1/10 The dispatch of north korean troops to support russia in its genocide in Ukraine exposes the grim truth about russia's faltering invasion and also highlights the inadequacy of Western escalation management.
2/10 There are rumors that north korea plans to deploy an engineering unit to Donetsk to aid russia in its unsuccessful invasion and genocide of Ukraine.
3/10 If verified, this demonstrates yet another dismal symbolic setback for russia, as it appears incapable of invading Ukraine without direct military intervention from its allies. Even with such support, its prospects for success seem bleak.
4/10 This underscores the complete failure of Western appeasement toward russia, a development that should not come as a surprise to anyone. russia's allies, including china, have continued to escalate their support for russia.
5/10 South Korea and Japan should urgently reconsider their policies and begin providing military assistance to Ukraine in response.
6/10 north korean troops should also compel the West to take action by increasing aid to Ukraine and lifting restrictions.
7/10 The use of north korean troops and ballistic missiles by russia should be sufficient to compel the West to remove all restrictions on matters such as deep strikes inside russian territory. Such action would be only equitable.
8/10 russia is on track to lose the war in Ukraine. The only potential game-changer would be a direct intervention by russia's allies, coupled with substantial material support from china.
9/10 The West must revise its strategy to prevent this outcome, and if it occurs, it will need to significantly increase its efforts.
1/12 Last night's debate demonstrated that people should not expect Trump to help Ukraine if elected. Pro-Ukrainians should instead hope that he does not reach the White House.
2/12 Trump's rhetoric still seems as if it directly originates from the Kremlin. It is evident that, as the populist he is, he genuinely believes that voters appreciate it when he mocks Ukraine and its president. Trump, a person devoid of any shame, is truly reprehensible.
3/12 In the debate, he reiterated his claim that if he had been in power, russia would not have invaded Ukraine, and he stated that he would resolve the Ukraine conflict before potentially taking office.
1/11 Finally! Discussions are underway for the United States to potentially send up to eight of Israel’s Patriot batteries to Ukraine, marking a significant shift in Israel's relations with Moscow.
2/11 The United States, Israel, and Ukraine are in discussions to provide Kyiv with as many as eight Patriot air defense systems, significantly enhancing its capability to defend against russian air strikes.
3/11 Although not yet confirmed, the arrangement would probably entail the valuable Patriot systems being initially transferred from Israel to the US before reaching Ukraine.
1/10 russian forces are persisting with their ineffective diversionary offensive in the north of Kharkiv by initiating attacks in new areas.
2/10 russian forces have initiated assaults and reconnaissance in another part of the northern border, this time near Sotnyts'kyi Kozachok in the Kharkiv region. Fighting is currently underway.
3/10 Anticipate limited impact as these offensives are primarily intended as diversions, and russia is not expected to deploy a substantial number of units.
1/5 The increase in military aid to Ukraine is yielding results: the 153rd brigade is mechanized again. Information coming from @Militarylandnet
2/5 The Ukrainian command has officially reorganized the 153rd Infantry Brigade into a mechanized brigade, as announced through the brigade’s official social media channels. Previously, it had been reorganized into an infantry brigade in April.
3/5 Although no official reason was given, it is probable that the reorganization is linked to the increased support from the West and the provision of additional equipment for mechanized brigades.
1/25 Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte has been appointed as the new secretary general of NATO. What changes will this bring, and what challenges will he encounter in this new role?
2/25 On Wednesday, June 26, NATO's 32 member nations appointed the outgoing Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte as the next head of the alliance.
3/25 Symbolically, it would have been more significant to have an Eastern European leader for NATO, particularly considering the Netherlands' track record of underperforming in military spending during Rutte's leadership.
1/7 Ukraine has found the satellite provided by the Finnish company Iceye to be incredibly valuable.
2/7 For nearly two years, Ukrainian intelligence has utilized the ICEYE satellite, which was funded by the Serhiy Prytula Charitable Foundation and donations from Ukrainians, to identify enemy targets and safeguard the country.
3/7 The satellite has recorded 4,173 images of enemy targets, such as airfields, air defense positions, fuel depots, and military bases. This capability has enabled Ukraine to track enemy movements and intentions, resulting in substantial damage to russian assets.
