1/9 Day 12: The Kursk operation has restored a sense of hope, and we should not underestimate its importance during wartime. Nearly two weeks in, russia has yet to stop Ukrainians from advancing
2/9 russia remains unable to halt Ukraine's advances in Kursk. Ukraine is progressing in multiple directions, leaving russia struggling to find a solution to prevent this from occurring.
3/9 It appears that Ukraine is, as mentioned earlier, attempting to acquire territory for leverage while simultaneously establishing a buffer zone to shield its cities from russian artillery.
4/9 It is notable to observe the minimal resistance Ukraine encounters from local residents, who are receiving humanitarian assistance from Ukraine. This stands in stark contrast to the experience of russian troops when they occupy a city in Ukraine.
5/9 As Ukraine makes progress in Kursk, its forces in the east continue to face challenging circumstances, with russia gradually advancing while Ukrainian troops deal with significant manpower shortages.
6/9 The overall situation still presents numerous questions, but we should not overlook the significance of hope in a prolonged conflict like this. This operation has instilled hope in many Ukrainians and their supporters.
7/9 For a mobilized Ukrainian, witnessing the Kursk operation is more uplifting than observing the situations in Niu-York or Chasiv Yar. This operation has also demonstrated that the front lines can still change and that russia's red lines are merely a bluff.
8/9 Let’s hope that the remainder of this ambitious, risky, and so far highly successful operation is planned and executed with the same effectiveness as the first 12 days.
1/11 The war is far from over, but Ukraine is still winning.
Here is how we can make sure that it defeats Russia 🧵
2/11 Russia’s 2022 invasion is a genocide.
They use genocidal rhetoric to justify erasing Ukraine's identity. They kidnap children and commit daily war crimes to punish civilians for simply refusing to be Russian.
This is a systematic attempt to destroy a nation
3/11 The human cost is massive.
In Mariupol, the death toll in 3 months potentially exceeded the total deaths in Gaza throughout the entire war, despite a much smaller population.
People underestimate this scale and don't see that Russia is committing genocide in Europe
