Geopolitics, military tactics and strategy, history of 20th century. Closely following and analysing the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Amateur.

This is an alt account, I have created it mostly for events regarding 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Might post about other subjects, but all of them will fall in the scope of geopolitics and military subjects.

Sweden will soon contribute substantial funds to make Ukraine able to mass produce Ukrainian long-range missiles and long range drones. Presented the news with 🇺🇦 defence minister Rustem Umerov at Karlberg Castle today. (1/4)

Skrót wiadomości klimatycznych. Niestety - złych.

🌡️Rok 2024 jest na trajektorii, by zostać najcieplejszym w historii pomiarów. Średnia globalna temperatura ma być wyższa o ponad 1,5°C od poziomów przedprzemysłowych. Wychodzimy zatem poza - względnie - bezpieczne ramy z Porozumienia paryskiego.

📈Obecna zmiana klimatu postępuje 30x szybciej niż najszybsze znane nam naturalne zmiany i 100x szybciej od średniego tempa zmian klimatu z historii naturalnej Ziemi.

🔥Światowe emisje gazów cieplarnianych są na trajektorii, by po raz kolejny wzrosnąć.

🌪️Po raz pierwszy w historii pomiarów na Zachodnim Pacyfiku w listopadzie pojawiły się równolegle cztery cyklony tropikalne.

🌊Wzrost poziomu mórz przyspiesza. W latach 2014-2023 wyniosł on średnio 4,77 mm na rok, co oznacza, że poziom ten rośnie dwa razy szybciej niż w latach 1993-2002 (wtedy wzrastał o 2,13 mm/rok).

Mili Państwo, możemy zmieniać prezydentów, ministrów, polityki klimatyczne - ale nie zmienimy praw fizyki. Te zostaną z nami obojętnie od tego, jakie mamy sympatie polityczne.

fyi if someone celebrates *any* act of mass violence against civilians then that someone has a brain worm so well, maybe it's not the best idea to take them seriously.

regardless of whether that act is against people who's ethnicity/religion/nationality you're opposed to...

No, @AmnestyUK.

You're way off the mark.

CNN citing French intelligence says the al-Qaeda assault in Barsalogho in August resulted in 600 dead, more than 100-200 than the biggest estimations. As I said after the terrorist attack in Bamako, these horrifying numbers al-Qaeda is making barely catch attention.

Mistaking the 1991 disintegration of the USSR for a genuine abandonment of imperial ambitions by Russia is dangerously shortsighted. And yet, this deeply ahistorical take had become prevalent in Washington and many Western European capitals prior to February 2022. 🧵

Kolejna rosyjska zbrodnia wojenna zarejestrowana na filmie. Rosjanie dokonali egzekucji ukraińskiego żołnierza który został rozstrzelany stojąc z zawiązanymi rękami. Prawdopodobnie żołnierz był ochotnikiem z krajów bałtyckich walczącym w szeregach SZU.

[Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦 @IAPonomarenko]

The Russian military executed 16 (!!!) surrendered Ukrainian soldiers at sight.

This is the worst incident of POW execution known so far in this war.

It happened near Pokrovsk.

Look at what the Russians did - they lined the surrendered Ukrainians up, shot them all down, and then finished off those dying on the ground.

When some sneaky character says 'Ukrainians just need to surrender," -- this is the answer regarding what will happen if Ukraine "just surrenders" to Russia, which is absolutely out of its damn mind and sick with absolute sadism.

[Jessica Berlin @berlin_bridge]

Behind the scenes, Western officials are saying that “land for (NATO) membership…is the only strategy on the table.”
Offering Russia Ukrainian territory in exchange for bringing #Ukraine into NATO is a strategy of surrender. It would hand Russia concessions for their illegal war of aggression: a declaration of impotence by NATO and a clear win for the Kremlin.
A win for the Kremlin would signal a green light to China and other would-be aggressors around the world, proving the West unwilling to defend a democratic ally even on our own doorstop, and therefore unlikely to defend allies elsewhere, as long as the aggressor has nukes.

‘Land for NATO membership’ fails on a further critical point: What territorial annexation do the officials pushing this think the Kremlin would accept in exchange for ‘letting’ the rest of Ukraine join NATO? Russia would sooner destroy Ukraine than see it in NATO; they’ve waged war since ten years to prevent precisely that outcome. They won’t accept, say, uncontested control of Crimea and the return of Kursk in exchange for an Article 5-protected Kyiv. Not when they see a weak, waffling West.

Lastly, what would the ‘land for NATO membership’ proponents propose to do about Russian war crimes? What if Russia demands not only Ukraine’s land, but also immunity for their grotesque atrocities? Should Ukraine let Russia keep the tens of thousands of children they’ve kidnapped in exchange for the future promise of Article 5?

NATO cannot afford a strategy of surrender. The path to peace is through degradation and deterrence: degrading Russia’s economy and military until they can no longer sustain their war machine, arming Ukraine with sufficient weaponry and security guarantees to fully deter Russia from any future aggression, and financing Ukraine’s defense and reconstruction with seized Russian assets.

Every morning at 9:00, Ukraine pauses for a minute – a moment of silence to honor those who gave their lives for the freedom and independence of our nation.

We remember the price paid by Ukrainian defenders. Every day, every morning, always.

Glory to the heroes! 🇺🇦

VP Harris points out that "there are some in my country who [want] to force Ukraine to give up large parts of its sovereign territory...these proposals are the same as those of Putin. Let us be be clear. They are not proposals for peace. Instead, they are proposals for surrender"

[Kancelaria Prezydenta RP - konto archiwalne @prezydentplarch]

Po powrocie z USA Prezydent @AndrzejDuda udzielił wywiadu dla @PolsatNewsPL.

W Nowym Jorku Prezydent RP wraz z Prezydentem USA i przywódcami państw G7 i UE podpisał deklarację w sprawie odbudowy Ukrainy. Zapytany, jak powinien wyglądać plan pokojowy dla Ukrainy, Andrzej Duda zapewnił, że zdania w tej kwestii nie zmienił.

💬 To spojrzenie z punktu widzenia naszego interesu, ale też z punktu widzenia interesu świata: prymat prawa międzynarodowego musi zostać przywrócony, a zostanie przywrócony wtedy, kiedy Ukraina odzyska kontrolę nad wszystkimi terytoriami uznanymi przez społeczność międzynarodową czyli gdy odzyska kontrolę nad swoimi granicami przed agresją Rosji w 2014 r. Łącznie z Krymem.

Kolejna wybuchowa noc w Rosji. Ukraińcy zaatakowali skład amunicji w rejonie Tichoriecka (kraj Krasnodarski), trwają potężne eksplozje i ewakuacja mieszkańców. Pojawiły się również informacje o ataku na 23. Arsenał GRAU w obwodzie Twerskim co potwierdza mapa anomalii termicznych.
