“This is not a war of 2 armies this is a war of 2 worldviews…Barbarians who destroy the Museum of Hryhoriy Skovoroda and believe their rockets can destroy our philosophy. It annoys them, it’s unfamiliar to them, it scares them” @zelenskyy Victory over Nazism Day 🧵of video 1/3
Cracks in Russian plan, military miscalculations, lacks support of RU people, low moral among RU soldiers, & resolute nature of Ukrainians = a protracted war. A pattern is unfolding. In my research (2014 book) I focus on what leads fall of regimes & there are some signals here.
Imagine freeing your own mothers village from occupation! "Mom, I missed you so much!". The head of the Derhachy, Vyacheslav Zadorenko, met with his mother in a de-occupied village in the Kharkiv oblast! #StandWithUkriane#UkraineWillWin 🇺🇦#UkrainiansBraveByPassport
Not “50 million going hungry because of the war in Ukraine.” Its “50 million people going hungry because of Russia’s blockade of grain export/Russia’s war on Ukraine”. There I fixed it 4 you. It’s actually “Russia’s war on the world” but I can see you’re not able to see that yet.
.@ZelenskyyUa addresses “the peoples of the Caucasus, Siberia and other indigenous peoples of Russia.
Dagestanis do not have to die in a vile and disgraceful war of Russia. Chechens, Ingush, Ossetians, Circassians and any other peoples who came under the Russian flag.” 1/4
Putin: “Bahmut is ours”
Zelensky: “I returned from the Donetsk region, from our Bakhmut fortress. I was there today to support our fighters, to present state awards, to express gratitude to them”
Putin keeps lying while Ukrainians resist, defend, & prove him wrong time & again
Although some are giving up.
Ukrainians do not have that luxury.
Ukraine fights on.
& if you haven’t understood it yet, Ukrainians won’t give up or give in.
NYE speech #Zelensky demonstrates his strength as a leader. He talk about not HIS accomplishments but those of every single Ukrainian. “Everyone of us is the front” he says. #SlavaUkrainii#StandWithUkraine
Ukrainians at it again! In Melitopol citizens continue resistance against occupation with a rally. They demand the “freedom of the mayor” following M. Ivan Fedorova capture yesterday. This war is not “winnable” 4 Putin not in way he planned - will face ongoing resistance 🧵1/n
It’s hard to express how much this means to me my Ukrainian family in Poland. President @ZelenskyyUa, giving a speech to citizens in Poland, starting it off with glory to Ukraine glory to the heroes. Something that was unthinkable only a few years ago.
