Moments of truth seeping into the Russian discourse ex
Quote Tweet
Meanwhile in Russia: several panelists threw some truth grenades at the stunned TV hosts, look how those angry propagandists pummeled the pundit who said that by destroying the infrastructure, Russia is waging a cruel, sadistic war against civilians. He won't be invited back.

The next time someone wants to defend RT … show them this. ‘Burn and drown Ukrainian children’
Quote Tweet
Meanwhile on Russia's state-funded RT, director of broadcasting Anton Krasovsky suggests drowning or burning Ukrainian children, makes hideous comments about the rapes by Russian soldiers in Ukraine, says Ukraine should not exist and Ukrainians who resist Russia should be shot.

So how is that mobilisation going …. not well. Arming resentful men is a dangerous gamble for Putin.
Quote Tweet
Another revealing video. Scene inside a mustering station in Russia where an officer yells at angry, resentful men who have been mobilized. “That’s it- playtime’s over. You’re soldiers now!”

Is Russia starting to wake up to the possibility it has made a catastrophic strategic blunder..?
Quote Tweet
Life comes at you fast: pundits on Russian TV realize that their military is failing and their country is in trouble. They are starting to play the blame game. Some of them finally understand that their genocidal denial of the Ukrainian identity isn't working in Russia's favor.

This a simply stunning feat. Ukrainian forces take more territory in 5 days than Russia has taken since April.
Quote Tweet
#Ukrainian forces have penetrated #Russian lines to a depth of up to 70 kilometers in some places and captured over 3,000 square kilometers of territory in the past five days since September 6 – more territory than Russian forces have captured in all operations since April. /3

“How did you go bankrupt?” Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.” Great read on the state of the war as Ukrainian forces rout Russian positions in the north-east. By ⁦

Retaking in a day what it took Russia a month to capture… Another great thread on Ukraine’s lightening counter-offensive.
Quote Tweet
Ukraine's counter-offensive in the northeast – liberating in a day territory that took Russia a month or more to conquer – is breathtaking. Inspiring, even. But it should also be sobering. Apart from anything else, it reveals just how much we struggle to analyze this war. /1

While we look the other way … This appears to be hugely significant for Ukraine. How does/can Putin respond?
Quote Tweet
Barely two days later this has proven a very significant victory for Ukraine. The entire pocket collapsed, appears Kupyansk was taken & RU forces have been forced to hastily retreat from Izyum. Their attempts to reinforce with 3rd AC and 90th TD proved too late & unsuccessful. twitter.com/KofmanMichael/…
