@EmmanuelMacron
J'ai voté pour vous en partie pour la position que vous defendiez face à #Putin et la 🇷🇺
Vous parlez maintenant de ne pas humilier la 🇷🇺?
Vous vs humiliez, vs humiliez la 🇫🇷 et l'🇪🇺, moi et l'#Ukraine dont les enfants meurent pour défendre nos valeurs
I’ll donate $1US for each 10 replies/likes/retweets of this post (up to $750) + $1 for every $1 you donate for Wild Hornet attack drones for Ukraine (up to another $750) by August 10, 12 pm (EST)
The Wild Hornets team seeks $30,000 to buy 50 large-size 10-inch drones (carrying 3 kg of armour-busting explosives) by mid next week
Donate via PayPal to this email address: [email protected]
High-performing Wild Hornets are the only drone chosen for fundraising support by well-known Ukrainian military journalist and anti-corruption activist Yuri Butusov and his @Censor_Net news site
@wilendhornets 🐝 drones are custom-made by Ukrainian volunteers, solely funded by donations and preferred by many crack Ukrainian units over commonly used drones, such as the Mavic 3. They:
💥 carry up to 6x more explosives, including anti-tank munitions
💥 fly 3x faster
💥 cost 1/8th of the price
💥 are more resistant to enemy electronic warfare and signal location
💥 can serve in kamikaze, munition-dropping and recon functions (Mavics can only drop hand grenades and do recon)
💥 are highly customizable to each unit’s different needs (unlike Mavics, which come preassembled)
💥 are made out of readily obtained spare parts, and as a result aren't as vulnerable to border holdups or China's moves to stop sales to Ukraine
Send me a screenshot of your donation by direct message or in the replies to qualify for my matching donation
And please 🙏 boost this post! (A reply is apparently the most effective way, according to Twitter algorithms)
"Drones are the game changer of this war, they are the determining factor for victory": Ukrainian veteran and volunteer Maria Berlinska
"Whoever has more drones wins"
Fundraising in July raised $54,000 (including over $10,000 from you nice folks!) for 120 Wild Hornets for some of Ukraine’s most elite and famed units in the counteroffensive, including:
🇺🇦 special forces and HUR military intelligence operators
🇺🇦 3rd, 5th and Separate Presidential Bridages
🇺🇦 International Legion
🇺🇦 120th Recon Battalion's famed Asgard unit
In the video: Asgard, working with the 3rd, 24th and 28th Brigades, used Wild Hornets (costing $400 each and bought partly with your donations) Friday on the Bakhmut axis to demilitarize:
🔥 T-90 tank (worth $4-$7 million)
🔥 T-72 ($1-$2 million)
🔥 howitzer
🔥 Ural truck

🎥 Here's the Separate Presidential Brigade using Wild Hornets (your donations at work again) to knock out two T-72s Sunday on the south (Tavriya) front: https://t.co/ofS9UQ8PZc
I'll post a screenshot of my donation after August 10, 12 pm -- or sooner if we get to $1,500 before!
Your donations for drones are vital to free Ukraine and save its soldiers' lives. Most drones at the front come from donations (including from the troops themselves) and volunteer procurement, innovation and homespun production in living rooms, basements and offices
Ukraine has limited (albeit growing) capacity to mass produce drones, while its Western alllies have yet to build much production of their own and have been painfully slow to act on the fact that drones have become central to war since the invasion of Ukraine
Ukrainian kamikaze drones are responsible for 40% of Russian losses during the counteroffensive: https://t.co/D4FQ6hBiOL
Without recon drones to find and target the enemy, Ukraine would need up to four times more artillery munitions and 60% more guns, as @SethCropsey, former US Navy deputy undersecretary, wrote Sunday in the Wall Street Journal

Plein de petits Wagners?
On aurait pu croire qu'après l'aventure de la marche de Wagner sur Moscou, l'Etat russe couperait court à tous projets de compagnies militaires en dehors du contrôle des ministères de force. Et pourtant... 1/14 🧶
Today’s Russian newspapers report on military conscription age being extended to 30. The headline in one paper: “In the Duma they smell a big war.” #ReadingRussia
A month after his mutiny, one Russian paper suggests Prigozhin isn’t displaying “the behaviour of someone who suffered a political defeat & regrets his actions.” It predicts “the Prigozhin situation will develop in the most fast-moving & possibly dramatic way.” #ReadingRussia
Hey @bluesky
It's time to spread invitation much wider
Staying on twitter is not possible anymore and threads is not a viable replacement solution
So please

When I re-watch my old Russian press reviews sometimes I think: goodness, that was a real sign of things to come. Two years ago one Russian paper wrote about Russia/Ukraine: "We're on the verge of what could be major turmoil." Here's that review from 14 July 2021. #ReadingRussia
One Russian paper today on Putin’s decision not to travel to South Africa next month: “It's the first time the ICC arrest warrant has affected the Russian leader’s plans. Will it be the last?” Plus, the Russian government paper reports on…the Spice Girls. #ReadingRussia
You can easily recognize a person who has been on the front lines by looking into their eyes. These eyes have seen death every day. Eyes like these know the true value of life.
Lavrov's interview to Libya media is again pure propaganda.
1. For Russia, peace is a priority. It is Anglo-Saxons who thwart any negotiations.
Refutation. If Russia had not invaded, there would be no need for any negotiations. 1/
i was kicked off twitter 2 times (for 24h) for telling people they were dumb as rock.
i was threatened 2 times to be permabanned here bc i posted a direct link to mastodon...
i'm on a black list with couple thousands impressions now..
BUT
this guy is a blue check #Twitter star!
One Russian paper today concludes that Putin has “rehabilitated” Wagner. So why is the state media here still trying to discredit Prigozhin? The article suggests “this could be a sign of conflict within the elite, a battle between different Kremlin towers...” #ReadingRussia
France will provide Ukraine with SCALP long-range cruise missiles to help Kyiv's forces strike targets deep behind Russian lines, President Emmanuel Macron said Tuesday.
