SUBTITLES. Pres. Zelenskyy's March 26 address. "Ukraine is united in its desire to live freely. That is why our "tractor troops"-Ukrainian farmers-take Rus equipment in the fields and give it to our military, in particular the latest models that Rus has tried to keep secret." 1/6 "I spoke to the Polish President twice today about planes for Ukraine, tanks, anti-missile defense, anti-ship weaponry. This is for freedom not only in Ukraine, but in Europe. It cannot be acceptable to put Eastern Europe at risk only because they left 1% in their hangars." 2/6

"I am grateful to our defenders who showed the occupiers that the sea willl not be calm for them, even when there is no storm. Because there will be fire.

SUBTITLES. Pres. Zelenskyy's March 24 address to the G7. "Russia was admitted to the G8 before it proved itself, and now you are the G7. You and I do not know how many urgent summits will be needed before the problems Russia creates are resolved." 1/4 "This is just the beginning. There may be a global food crisis. The longer Ukraine is not at peace, the less food the world market will receive from Ukraine. This will result in political destabilization. It is better to stop Russia's military machine first." 2/4

Ukraine's intelligence agency, GUR, has published additional details on the internment regime Russia has established thus far.
1) Ukranians are being taken en masse to a detention camp in Dokuchaevsk, in the Donetsk region of Ukraine. Combatants are redirected.
1/ The term of art for these intake facilities is "фільтраційних таборів" or "filtration camps."

We'll likely need to remember that there were many classes of Nazi camps. Only one was "concentration camp," although that term is now used generically to refer to all of them.

I'm watching Biden's speech for his impliedly assailing Z's credibility
1) characterizing Ukraine's interests as Zelenskyy's emotional reactions
-- "I can't imagine what he must be going through"
-- "He's stayed strong through so much"
1/ 2) characterizing Zel's requests as unreasonable by empathizing with his desperation
-- "If I were him, I'd be asking for everything I could, too"
3) triangulating Zel's subordinates against him
-- "I talked to a Ukrainian general, and what they need are more anti-tank wpns"

Putin's swastika, next installment. He clearly is using schools to develop the association between "Z" and Russian nationalism. I have a personal note, which I'll add as a reply. I have a friend, abt 50 now, who grew up in USSR and escaped to the US when he was 17/18. We've spoken about what life was like when USSR+KGB was still in full force. I once asked whether children were taught to favor democracy, what happened @ home, and what happened @ school.

I am watching @msnbc to see how it covers Pres. Zelenskyy's speech, because it is likely to reflect the desires of the White House.
- closeup stories of personal losses, children, pets
- pro-NFZ foreign policy expert speaks first.
- fmr Colonel fp expert welcomes more weapons 1/ @MSNBC - Colonel opposes a US-imposed NFZ, makes excuses, distractions
- But Colonel supports Poland sending its MiG-29s, says it can be done discreetly
- MSNBC WH reporter subtly assails Pres Zelenskyy's credibility as a "performer and comedian," is apologist for Pres Biden
