I'm beyond outraged by Russia's advances in Ukraine and the West's utterly weak—or even nonexistent—response.

Many argue that the Biden administration has been strong on Ukraine, but in fact their policies and actions have been nothing short of terrible. Here's the evidence 1/
1. There has been "zero" response to North Korean troops in Russia prepared to fight Ukraine. In fact, Ukraine has been prohibited to strike North Koreans by the US until they come on Ukraine soil. Some say this is a sign of the West's defeat 2/

There is a double standard. The US doesn't impose restrictions on Israel. The US supplied weapons can be used by Israel any way it sees it fit. Apparently, the escalation is not an argument there either 3/
2. Russia has escalated attacks on Ukrainian cities, with 2000 Shahed drones in October up by 40% from September. This is 66 drones every day. 3/

Russia has substantively intensified its attacks the last weeks. What is the US response? None. The administration talks about Russian losses being unsustainable. But what about Ukrainians? 4/

So, instead of responding in kind and increasing support, the US has supplied only 10% of defense aid authorized by the Congress this year 5/

3. It is the US that opposes admitting Ukraine to NATO, instead of showing leadership and convincing other opposing nations 6/
Most amazingly, there is still talk in Washington and other western capitals about "de-escalation" or "not escalating further". It is Russia that is escalating in response to weakness of the West and, specifically, the US administration 7X

Ukrainians are as polarized as Americans are about the U.S. election

My conversation with CNN earlier today.

Q: How interested are Ukrainians in the upcoming U.S. elections?
A: Extremely interested. 1/
Ukrainians understand that our future is significantly influenced by what happens in the United States. U.S. leadership is critical, and there's a clear difference between the candidates. We're as polarized about the U.S. election as Americans are. 2/
Q: Why would any Ukrainians support a Trump presidency that might cut off aid to Ukraine?

A: It's intriguing, but some Ukrainians believe that a deal—whatever it might be—could be better than continuing the war of attrition. They assume, perhaps incorrectly, that such a deal might be favorable for Ukraine. 3/

Zelensky accuses Poland, Poland hits back. This is not good for anyone

Earlier, Zelensky accused Poland of not delivered MIG-29 fighter jets it promised

Now, Poland says “yes, but”. We want to help but we are country threatened by Russia too. 1/
This is a lose-lose situation. If Russia is not stopped in Ukraine, the threat for Poland becomes real. The best way for Poland to protect itself now and in the future is to provide weapons and support Ukraine in its defense from Russia 2/
Yes, there is the argument that Poland needs weapons too to defend from Russia, but only if Ukraine falls. And even if this happens, Poland will have time to arm up against Russia 3/

Kherson residents describe feeling "constantly hunted"2/

We must not look away

Russia systemically uses sexual torture on male Ukrainian prisoners, including rape, castration, rape and castration threats, electric shocks, genital beatings, repeated forced nudity, and sexualized humiliation
1/ Image
Russian forces systematically deploy sexual torture in "almost all" detention centers, with UN documenting 236 cases against men and boys in under three years 2/
Evidence shows sexual violence used against two-thirds of male prisoners 3/

There is a constitutional crisis in Georgia. The president challenged the prime minister by not recognizing the election results.

Unfortunately, the prime minister is much more powerful constitutionally. The only realistic recourse is protests. 1/
But does the opposition and the president have the leadership, strength, and even the muscle to endure the conflict between protesters and the government. 2/
There are public statements that the president can make.

There are also constitutional powers of the president. She can refuse to call the meeting of the new parliament. That will prevent a new government coming to the office 3/

Myth: Russian sanctions don’t work

Evidence: Sanctions on Russia have forced a complete halt of commercial operations at Russian project Arctic LNG 2, with the facility unable to export its accumulated inventory, Bloomberg 1/ Image
Project's gas field output has plummeted by over 50% in October 2024 - from 12.1 million cubic meters daily in September to approximately 5.3 million cubic meters 2/
Despite managing to ship eight LNG cargoes since August 2024, none have secured buyers in the market, revealing the depth of Russia's international commercial isolation 3/
