Dear followers, I have a request for you. I'm presently back in Ukraine again, and looking to make a reporting trip out to Donbas soon. The costs of this are not low, though, and keep growing as media budgets shrink. That's why I'm asking for your help to make this trip work. /1

@MarkGaleotti @theipaper Is it really insightful to write once a week 'the existence of politics in the West means Putin wins'?

[Neil Hauer @NeilPHauer]

@maxseddon @FTMag This is a fun story, but it doesn't strike me as that credible

[Neil Hauer @NeilPHauer]

@geogvma Wrong about literally everything related to the war for nearly half a decade and somehow hasn't made a dent in his worldview

@hykleri This is almost as cursed as Georgian written in Cyrillic

@marcbennetts1 Don't tell Ben Aris

@Miyhnea The one time I ever entered Romania from Ukraine (from the north) the border guard asked if I had enjoyed visiting Cernauti and it took me a good 30 seconds to clock what he meant

@ABarbashin If you want to equate yourself with Leonid Ragozin - because nothing similar has happened to anyone else in the EU in years - then that is your choice

@keithgessen Clutch your pearls a little harder you big idiot

@OzKaterji Also in this same clip he suggests that Ukrainian apartment buildings struck by missiles "could be Russian or could be Ukrainian anti-air missiles, without a forensic investigation of each case we cannot tell"

@OzKaterji +100

@geogvma Just a normal guy arguing that Canada has natural mutual strategic interests with *checks notes* Belarus https://t.co/G6QlNqMne6

@muratkaryan Arshak go two sentences without using the word 'indigenous' challenge (impossible)

@bneeditor They already tried to do just that, you absolute moron

[Neil Hauer @NeilPHauer]

@sfrantzman @OzKaterji Man you are definitely smart enough to puzzle this out, come on

The sister of the woman shot by the Azerbaijani soldier says that he tried to take her children hostage https://t.co/BkIoSJ2Xd4

[Neil Hauer @NeilPHauer]

An Azerbaijani soldier crossed into southern Armenia yesterday, entered a house in a village and attacked a local woman and her children. The woman lost three fingers as a result. How can events like this contribute to 'peace'? https://t.co/HacZ4faD6V

@bneeditor I'm old enough to remember when you told me 'get out of Odesa as Russia is encircling it' in mid-March 2022. You are stupid enough that you still don't think that you were wrong then, now, or anytime in between. BNE doesn't even publish any reporting anymore - just this idiocy.
