1/7 north korea's decision to send troops to support russia's invasion of Ukraine should encourage the West to send troops to Ukraine, at a minimum to train Ukrainian soldiers and secure the Western half of the country, thereby freeing up Ukrainian forces for the front lines
2/7 Kyrylo Budanov, the Head of Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, has stated that around 11,000 north korean infantry troops are presently undergoing training in russia's eastern region. They are anticipated to be combat-ready against Ukraine by November 1.
3/7 The first unit of 2,600 soldiers will be stationed in Kursk Oblast. Currently, there is no information regarding the subsequent deployment of the remaining north korean troops.
4/7 The West should deploy troops to Ukraine not only to train Ukrainian forces but also to secure the borders that do not adjoin russia, thereby allowing more Ukrainian troops to be freed up for the front lines.
5/7 Macron brought this up a few months ago, and now it's time to act. This wouldn't be an escalation, as russia already escalated by inviting north korean troops to fight in Ukraine. Western troops wouldn’t even need to engage in combat.
6/7 Ukraine relinquished its nuclear arsenal in an agreement intended to safeguard its sovereignty. We have a responsibility to do everything possible to assist Ukraine in defending itself against this unjust invasion.

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
