A 'hello!' from past/present authors (to begin!)

[Ben Hodges @general_ben]

The West should not fear Ukraine defeating Russia. This is an historic opportunity to improve security for the entire Eurasian land mass, if we can think/act decisively.

Ukraine received mobile saunas from Estonia. This is a complex of three machines that allow soldiers to first take a steam bath in the sauna, wash, and then relax. And at the same time wash and dry their clothes. And this is very important for maintaining morale and health.

I doubt Russia can muster this size force in this time frame, at least not of any quality.The last partial mobilization was a Cluster F***. Exaggeration of potential for new Russian offensives give fuel to those who are looking for reasons not to continue supporting UKR.

No panic? Russian tank in Kharkiv Oblast flees Ukrainian forces, shedding Russian soldiers as it goes, and then crashes into a tree.

[Visegrád 24 @visegrad24]

NATO will provide Ukraine with winter uniforms and winter tents in the coming months according to Spiegel.

Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov wrote a letter to Jens Stoltenberg a few weeks ago, asking for winter uniforms and tens needed for 200,000 soldiers.

🧵❤️‍🔥This must be watched in full - The first female legionnaire in the #RussianFreedomLegion directly addresses Russian soldiers. English subtitles.
"In May of this year I crossed the Ukrainian border (from Russia) and joined the Russian Freedom Legion.

“We have a lot more pilots than jets right now,” said one Ukrainian pilot, identified by his callsign, Moonfish. They argue for taking more Ukrainian pilots off the flight lines for training on advanced U.S. fighter jets, such as F-15s and F-16s.

„Russia needs proper humiliation. It needs a humble recognition of its diminished status, an acceptance of guilt, and a slow, painstaking effort to rebuild the trust of those it has wronged.“ https://t.co/E18OxVHCSc

There is no waiting this out. This isn't chess; there's no draw, no stalemate. Either Putin destroys Ukraine and eventually hits NATO with an even greater catastrophe, or Putin falls in Russia. He cannot be stopped with weakness. 9/13

‼️ WH PresSec Jen Psaki: @POTUS will sign #Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act on Monday, May 9.

A little note: May 9 is a very symbolic date for Kremlin and Russia, on this day they celebrate Victory Day. Looks like the White House decided to make this day symbolic too.

[Lesia Vasylenko @lesiavasylenko]

The world needs victory for #Ukraine. And needs it fast. Otherwise we will all loose to #Russia. #putin is a master of tiring everyone with protracted conflicts and then getting his way. We can all outplay this game by making Ukraine strong enough to win fast

⚡️Netherlands to send heavy weapons, including armored vehicles, to Ukraine.

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said on April 19 that he had called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and announced the arms supplies “as Russia begins a renewed offensive.”

From a historical perspective such worries seem misplaced https://t.co/occQcxdGde

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

If Russians will not act to save democracy, or to save Ukraine, or to make Russia a part of the civilized world, they must act to save themselves. Sanctions are an ugly tool, but they are not slaughter like Ukraine is facing.
