The Vladimir Putin of 2001 would never agree with the Putin of 2026.
He went from recognizing borders and defending Ukraine’s "right to join NATO" — to denying its statehood and waging full-scale war.
A documented, year-by-year breakdown of a 25-year radical shift 🧵👇
Ukraine wants to become a global adult industry leader to fund the war, the WSJ reports.
A bill fully legalizing porn production, webcam modeling, and sex work has already passed its first reading and is being prepared for the second.
MPs estimate the market's potential at a minimum of $25 million annually, which, according to MP Zheleznyak, will be enough to buy 30,000 drones.
@AMK_Mapping_ The "at this pace it will take X years" argument completely ignores how frontlines actually collapse. Logistics and manpower reservoirs aren't linear.
This looks like preparation for infiltration. Russian forces are now as close as ever to the main fortresses of Donbas.
This winter will be relentless.
Russian KAB glide-bomb strikes heavily damaged the main highway bridge in the centre of Kramatorsk.
This is the first main bridge in Kramatorsk to be targeted so far.
Given the recent escalation on the frontlines, these methodology differences are becoming even more critical. Which of these four tracking systems do you find the most reliable right now?

@war_noir Yugoslavia exported quite a lot of M79s to the Middle East back in the day, but seeing them still operational in Yemen in 2026 is pretty wild.
@nexta_tv This is all nonsense, they aren’t cooking anything. Just more empty proposals that will lead nowhere unless Ukraine agrees to withdraw troops from Donbas.
@ImmortalAnanke True, Western influence was a massive catalyst. But if you look closely at 2003–2008, the shift started way before the Maidan or 2014. It’s both reactive and deliberate.

The idea of a "limited" nuclear war is detached from reality. Once the first button is pressed, there’s no turning back. This escalation trap is exactly where the strategic shifts of the last 25 years have led us.
I’ve mapped out this exact evolution of goals from 2001 to 2026. Thread is pinned if you want to see how we got here. 🧵👇
@nexta_tv WWII relics still impact Europe today, but the geopolitical shifts we are witnessing right now will shape the next century. If you want to understand how we got here, I’ve mapped out Russia’s changing strategic goals from 2001 to 2026. Full thread pinned on my profile. 🧵
@WarMonitor3 The problem with "until his goals are reached" is that his goals are an ever-moving target:
2002: Ukraine can pick NATO
2008: Crimea is not disputed
2014: No partition of Ukraine
Today: Erasing statehood
Documented the full 25-year shift on my pinned thread 🧵
@nexta_tv Before taking Kremlin "negotiations" seriously, look at his record on Ukraine:
2002: "Ukraine can choose NATO"
2008: "Crimea is not disputed"
2014: "We don't want partition"
Today: "Artificial state"

February 2024 (Carlson interview):
“Ukraine is, in a sense, an artificial state created at Stalin's will.”
In 25 years, the rhetoric went from "Ukraine is sovereign and free to join NATO" to the complete denial of its statehood.
Was this shift a reaction to the West, or his view all along? 💬

“Modern Ukraine is entirely the product of the Soviet era. It was shaped at the expense of historical Russia... Russia was in fact robbed.
Today, it can be rightfully called ‘Vladimir Lenin’s Ukraine.’ He was its creator and architect.”
