My thoughts on the course of the war (thread). Ukraine will lose Bachmut, which will be talked down, but of course is a psychological advantage for 🇷🇺. Especially if 🇷🇺 attacks cities like Konstantinivka and Kramatorsk afterwards and lays claim to Donbas. Yes, the losses for Russia are high. Whether it is 500 per day as Ukraine claims - rather no. The fact is Ukraine is also losing massive numbers of soldiers, especially those who are trained. Increasingly, we are seeing desperate searches for personnel, often untrained.

Meine Gedanken zum Kriegsverlauf (Thread). Die Ukraine wird Bachmut verlieren, was kleingeredet werden wird, aber natürlich ein psychologischer Vorteil für 🇷🇺 ist. Vor allem dann, wenn 🇷🇺 danach Städte wie Konstantinivka und Kramatorsk angreifen und Anspruch auf Donbas erhebt. Ja, die Verluste für Russland sind hoch. Ob es 500 pro Tag wie Ukraine behauptet - eher nein. Fakt ist: Auch Ukraine verliert massiv Soldaten, vor allem diejenigen, die trainiert sind. Zunehmend erleben wir, wie verzweifelt nach Personal gesucht wird, häufig untrainiert.

🇵🇱 President Duda in @BILD : „I m amazed at all the talks that are going on with Putin at the moment. By Chancellor Scholz, by President Macron. Did anyone talk to Adolf Hitler like that during WWII? Did someone say Adolf Hitler had to save face?“ (1/4) bild.de/bild-plus/poli… About nuclear threat from Putin: „If we are afraid of Russian nuclear weapons, then we should all surrender equally. I believe that as soon as someone is afraid of Russian blackmail, it will lead to disaster.“ (2/4)

EXCLUSIVE: We found a couple in Bucha who were being hunted down by Russian soldiers, apparently because relatives are in the army. „Soldiers had lists“, they told us. Russians came to the house six times, shot, threw grenades. Mykhola and Viktoria hid in the attic. @bild MYKOLA: „I took off my address plate because some friends told me that they have some lists. I don’t know where they got this lists from. They came 6 times for me. My nephew is in the UA army and the sister of my wife is doing her service. They came to arrest me 6 times.
