Ніколи не думав що ці пломеніючі рядки стануть актуальними і для мене.

Не розумієш про що я - читай "Кобзаря" (с)

It’s just… *so weird* that these VC tech-bros, who’ve never commented on Ukraine previously, have suddenly parachuted in to announce they know where Moscow’s nuclear red lines are. (And that those nuclear red lines are only specific parts of “Russian” territory.)

Українці переживають за Джонсона, сприймаючи випадкове співпадіння особистіх інтересів з інтересами України як справжню позицію. Це насправді було корисним для України, але якби він був українцем то був би партнером лисого у кварталі. Брехня і нарцисизм, не Черчіль а слуга народу

Shame on you, @Arlanda for the biggest mess I have ever seen as a frequent flyer anywhere. The queues are massive, staff inept and disorganised. Bad last week, much worse this week. Arrived 2.5 hours before the flight and am at a serious risk of missing it. Appalling!

I’m tired,so easily triggered,but I ‘m getting annoyed by articles on why Ukraine isn’t yet defeated. For us it’s simple: Ukraine is a functioning democracy with active pluralistic society. This is our strength.The world didn’t experience total wars against democracies to compare

On living standards of the village people: Ukraine vs russia

It shows how standard economic metric does not correspond with reality.

Reminder: until very recently russia economy was considered oil rich and well governed by ‘liberal technocrats’ putin retained in his court

@catfitz @PaulaChertok @Reuters Have a nice day

[Samuel Ramani @SamRamani2]

In February 2000, Russia summarily executed at least 60 civilians in Novye Aldi, a suburb of Grozny, Chechnya, as part of a "mopping up" operation

The Bucha massacre is not an anomaly. It is Vladimir Putin's way of war.

[Jack Watling @Jack_Watling]

Anyone saying that Bucha is the result of brutalisation or rogue behaviour is wrong. This was the plan. It was pre-meditated. It is consistent with Russian methods in Chechnya. And if the Russian military had been more successful there would have been many more towns like it. 2/4

[N.H. London @htomyie]

@catfitz @PaulaChertok @Reuters Have you seen Bucha? Putin did not do this. Russian soldiers did this, many of them. So yeah, I do hold Russians - en masse - responsible.
There is no morally defensible way for anyone to tell Ukrainians that we should not be absolutist when our children are tied and executed

[N.H. London @htomyie]

@catfitz @PaulaChertok @Reuters Compromise. Yeah, sure appeasement worked wonders with Nazi Germany l, so was sure to work with Nazi Russia.

[N.H. London @htomyie]

@catfitz @PaulaChertok @Reuters I beg to differ. Russia was responsible, Russia was guilty. Then and now

[N.H. London @htomyie]

@catfitz @PaulaChertok @Reuters Both sides? THE WEST? Russia is to blame. Russians are to blame, and not just Putin.

[N.H. London @htomyie]

@catfitz Ok, taking this step by step:
1) I ran a small org (now defunct) supplying first aid to Ukr frontlines for some years. So yeah, was 'following' and not just on twitter. 2) I quoted your 'tell me I am wrong' tweet. You are. Language has zero to do with what towns get liberated

[🇺🇦Paula Chertok🗽 @PaulaChertok]

“Both sides” in an unprovoked war is utterly failed journalism, @Reuters. Shameful.

[N.H. London @htomyie]

@jsargentr This is more intuitive, from own experience of decades of handling Russians in business. An overt act aggression earns you respect. Other things, not so much. He is, in his mind, already at war with the west and NATO and all they hold dear

[N.H. London @htomyie]

@jsargentr Timing for supplies is objective, but indecision adds to it. Thanks for your perspective though. I still cannot help thinking this analysis underestimates what P is already prepared to do. As in, he already escalated, but the west still has not grasped that.

[N.H. London @htomyie]

No. That most likely means a nuclear strike

[Igor Sushko @igorsushko]

For example – you are being asked to analyze various outcomes and consequences of a meteorite attack on Russia (MY COMMENTARY: Here he most likely means the West’s sanctions) –
