A hedgehog observation from 2014, and still true: Ukrainian civil society is underestimated at one’s peril:

That is incorrect. Most ballistic missile targets are selected days, and sometimes weeks, in advance. While sometimes Russian can launch a few missiles in a rapid retaliatory strike within a day, attacks on this massive scale are typically planned and prepared over days or weeks

[Saint Javelin @saintjavelin]

Around 40 ballistic missiles in just 53 minutes: Kyiv endured the most intense ballistic assault of the full-scale war.

Unfortunately, many ignore that #MH17 was shot down not by separatist irregulars, but by a regular unit of the Russian armed forces that had intruded Ukrainian territory (and left again hastily after the mass murder). Their supreme commander was and is Vladimir Putin.

Westerners telling Ukrainians not to protest don't understand the Ukrainian spirit or resolve.

President Zelensky chose the comfort of the old, incompetent guard over change and a new vision. Meanwhile, General Syrskyi remains untouchable despite numerous allegations linking Skelya, a unit he personally supervises, to abuse, torture, and recruit deaths during training

On the Fedorov situation, I'm willing to say the quiet part out loud.

Politics in Eastern Europe operates on three levels: one for the insiders and their interests, one for the domestic public, and one as a facade for the West. The insiders may hold formal office, but they can just as easily remain behind the scenes, pulling the strings.

The two outer layers are largely performative. The domestic one is tailored to macho Eastern European sensibilities; the external one is designed to tick the boxes of Western socio-political sensibilities.

The feminist girl boss, the modern tech bro, the sweet-talking young minister with UwU stickers on her laptop, these are some of the personalities branded and marketed specifically for Western analysts and the decision-makers they influence.

As long as everyone plays the part assigned to them, they come and go, trade offices, and keep the show running. But when one of the actors decides he has outgrown his role and can claim a place among the insiders, sparks fly, coalitions unravel, and early elections are called.

Just watch how the transition is handled, and you'll understand whether the game is stable or whether new players are emerging. The game itself, however, stays the same. Oh, and try not to fall in love with the actors.

This is not a fact yet, but if this happens, there need to be protests in the streets again IMHO.

@Zoe_tweetz Rotting in pedoruzzia doesn't sound like "succeed" to me
