[Gabrielius Landsbergis🇱🇹 @GLandsbergis]

The Baltic States were abandoned to Kremlin occupation after WWII and brutally suppressed for 60 years before finally regaining independence by sacrificing blood, with no help from the West. @SecGenNATO's casual talk of "de facto occupation" is therefore ignorant and terrifying.

[Defense of Ukraine @DefenceU]

The Security Service of Ukraine has carried out a new, unique special operation and struck the Crimean Bridge for the third time — this time underwater!
The operation lasted several months. @ServiceSsu agents planted explosives on the supports of this illegal structure. And today, at 4:44 a.m., without any civilian casualties, the first explosive device was detonated!
The underwater pillars of the bridge supports were severely damaged at the seabed level — thanks to 1,100 kg of explosives in TNT equivalent. As a result, the bridge is now in critical condition.

No NATO member spends more than 5% of their GDP on defence, the Baltics have broadly committed to it. Factually incorrect and misleading.

@DanielJHannan You'd be surprised at how poorly bots can be 'coded' for these responses.

It's basically predictive text to any tweet containing whatever subject they wish for a targeted account.

Foreign government for sure, and pure misinformation dissemination.

@WarMonitor3 As much as I agree that action is needed...quality over quantity in this age.

@Pommetje12 @UkrReview @Maks_NAFO_FELLA The raids weren't useless, took precious manpower away from a planned offensive around Kupiansk from what I've read.

@DevanSinha I won't be joining you, submarines are a claustrophobes hellscape 😂

@DevanSinha I think it's worth noting that you're not going to necessarily be conscripted into a frontline position.

I imagine the survey results would change if this was phrased in!

[On This Day RN @OnthisdayRN]

Today the phrase, ‘Taken aback’ means to be surprised unexpectedly, but it comes from the days of sail and refers to a sudden change of wind pressing the sails against the masts and spars, in this state the ship was ‘Taken aback’. Not a good position for a man o’war!
