It means Putin goes to... russia. Let me explain why - in this thread.
First, you need to know that the "Alaska myth" is essential for russia /1

Zelenskyy submits a new law that will guarantee the independence of the fight against corruption

Zelenskyy submits a new law that will guarantee the independence of the fight against corruption

1. After the infamous Law 12414, which placed independent anti-corruption institutions under the direct control of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine and thus the Zelenskyy administration, Ukrainians took to the streets in all major cities.

Key points: Ukrainians took to the streets during wartime to protect their democracy, the rule of law, and their European path.

Recently, 🇺🇦 hero of this war Robert Broudi (aka “Magyar”) spoke at a military conference in 🇩🇪 Wiesbaden. His speech stunned many people.

It’s a bit long for Twitter but totally worth a read.

“In the Ukrainian army, they call me Magyar. I am a field commander of combat drone pilots in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Putin’s propaganda claims I am one of Russia’s most wanted enemies, so I cannot promise we will meet again, but I will speak in stark, black-and-white terms.

Today, I lead 12 pilot units. Ninety-five percent of them were civilians before the war—businesspeople, athletes, lawyers, singers, anyone but military personnel. We make up just 2% of Ukraine’s entire army. Yet, we destroy one out of every three enemy personnel and one out of every three enemy targets. Putin, who promised to capture us in three days, has instead taught us, over three and a half years, to defend our homeland, our children, and our land.

It is absolutely clear that we see no end to this war—not tomorrow, not in a month, and likely not this year. So, we pragmatically calculate our future and see the greatest threats, which, if this war is not stopped, will affect many countries that will inevitably be drawn into it.

➤ The first threat is that Putin is sending more infantry to the war than we can destroy each month. This is the primary challenge.

➤ Second, Putin has found a very convenient, cheap, and effective weapon to intimidate Ukraine’s civilian population and destroy our infrastructure. Its name is Shahed (Russian-Iranian kamikaze drones).

➤ Third, everyone in Ukraine who wanted to fight is already fighting. We don’t expect miracles, but we know what to do, relying on our own experience, our own blood, and the support of our partners.

There isn’t a tank in the world that cannot be stopped by a $300-400 drone. No such tank exists. I’m ready to bet any amount that no matter how well-protected a tank is, it will be stopped by a drone made with Ukrainian components. That’s why I claim Ukrainian drones are the best in the world today.

Drones create a kill zone, currently extending about 20 km around the frontline in Ukraine. The next challenge is replacing Ukrainian infantry with ground robotic systems to handle all frontline logistics.

➤ Fourth, we are building a multi-layered, echeloned wall—far greater than the Great Wall of China—that will stop everything flying toward us, from attack to reconnaissance drones. We are creating this wall today.

When Putin launched 100 Shaheds at Ukraine, he promised 500. We didn’t take it seriously then. Now, it’s no laughing matter, as we’ve already crossed the 400 mark. Our experience will be invaluable to the civilized world because any country could face this same prospect. I don’t know which NATO member state could protect a single city while facing 200-300 Shaheds every day for a week, without stopping.

Your national security requires urgent reassessment.

I rarely travel abroad. This is my second trip. Tomorrow at this time, I’ll be back at the front. But last year, I visited a military base of a NATO member in Europe. They showed me a well-organized facility with a ton of equipment, all in perfect condition.

They asked what I thought of it. My answer didn’t please them. Without coming closer than 10 km, four teams of Ukrainian pilots could turn that place into Pearl Harbor in 15 minutes.

I’m not saying this to scare anyone. I’m saying these technologies are so accessible and cheap that if they fall into the hands of terrorists, 100 terrorists could upend any country’s order. Our fight, our joint fight with our partners, is in our shared interest. We pay with our lives; you gain from our experience, which we will share with the conscientious nations of the world that support Ukraine in good faith.

Thank you for your attention.”

It’s actually pretty simple: Ukraine wants to be its own boss. Russia wants to be the boss of others.

But here are some more facts 🧵1/10 👇

Russians are furious they spent a ton of money on a resort in Türkiye and couldn’t even get there.

Why not? Because flights were grounded due to the war. But no one’s asking to end the war. They just want a compensation and a flight to Türkiye.

Two Russian bloggers went on vacation to Barcelona and filmed numerous videos in which they mocked Spain, Europe, and random women they saw, until one day someone smashed their car window and stole all their belongings.

STOP ISSUING THEM VISAS!

[Vatnik Soup @P_Kallioniemi]

This video is from Chechnya in 1994. Just five years later, Putin launched the Second Chechen War, beginning with a false flag attack on Russian civilians.

Russian imperialism never disappeared - it simply paused while the Russian Federation was too weak to invade its neighbors.

Russians attacked a residential building in Kramatorsk (Donetsk region) and killed a 10-year-old child

In Russia, this is called "defending Donbass from fascism."

UN Women says: “Any job is a woman’s job.”

Then where is your voice for Afghan women, banned from all jobs, education, and public life under the Taliban?

Afghan women don’t need slogans.
They need protection, action, and solidarity. Silence is complicity.

[Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦 @andrii_sybiha]

Brutal Russian attack across Ukraine this night, with hundreds of drones and ballistic missiles raining down on Kyiv, Ivano-Frankivsk, and other cities and communities.

We can put an end to this terror. This requires additional air defense and long-range capabilities for Ukraine, as well as increased pressure on Moscow, such as depriving Russia of oil revenues.

Together, we must seize every opportunity to advance peace through strength.

[Yulia Svyrydenko @Svyrydenko_Y]

Another night of brutal Russian attacks on Ukraine's cities. As rescue efforts continue, we are receiving reports of casualties and injuries.

Our defenders and rescuers — true heroes.

Once again, Kyiv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kharkiv — among others — feel what Russia’s so-called “desire for peace” really means.

Russia continues only because it still hasn’t faced real consequences.

Every delay comes at a cost and only a bold response can stop the next attacks.

When I claim that Russia is a death cult, I take into account this. Russian casualties grow steadily. If Russia were a normal country, it could have been the graph of labor and capital growth. "Why is human life so cheap in Russia?" is the question to historians and economists🧵
