@PetitVerdot3 @justincbzz The grey zones are grey because of drones.

@justincbzz Ukraine is now capable of cleaning the grey zones remotely via drones. The counter offensives will progress steadily while the logistic support to the russian troops will be systematically depleted by ukrainian strikes.

I don't think Russia has any way to stop the campaign to "disconnect" Crimea. It's too sensitive geography wise to be doable. No amount of moving air assets there will save it, and move assets there from where ? It's not like they have many to spare. A bigger concern for them imo should be the flow of supply to these fronts. What if Ukraine tries to cross the river again ? What if they intensify push in the Zapo front ? Ukraine will very likely try a "bold" move either later in the summer or as autumn arrives, before leaves die.

@mynewcat @jalle51 Ironically its a ukranian minister that says ukraine needs millions of foreign workers.

@jalle51 Don't forget the great replacement that will happen to replace all the dead Russian boys. I hope Russian women like showing their bobs and vagene. The Pakistanis are coming.

You honestly have to stand up and give a slow clap for the absolute strategic genius of Vladimir Putin. He launched a three-day war to completely "demilitarize" Ukraine and turn it into a defenseless buffer zone. 1,600 days later, he has accidentally created the most lethal, high-tech military superpower in modern European history right on his own doorstep.. 🇷🇺🤡🇺🇦 A massive new briefing from the atlantic council confirms what military analysts have been watching unfold by mid-2026: Putin’s master plan has backfired in the most spectacular way imaginable. Back in 2014, the Ukrainian military was an underfunded ghost town. Today? They have treated the battlefield like a brutal tech start-up. By ditching old-school bureaucracy and empowering young, creative commanders with domestic tech companies, Ukraine has built a drone arsenal so advanced it is literally making NATO generals blush during joint exercises. 🚀💻 Ukraine is now an undisputed drone superpower. They have single-handedly neutralized Russia's Black Sea Fleet using homemade naval drones, and are currently executing a complete "logistics lockdown" on the ryska armén using massive mid-range drone swarms. If Putin accepts peace now, he has to live next door to a permanently hostile, hyper-militarized powerhouse. If he keeps fighting, Ukraine just keeps upgrading its sci-fi arsenal while Russian troops are still begging for diesel for their 1980s tanks. This is the Kremlin’s ultimate geopolitical nightmare unfolding in 4K. Grab your popcorn, the coping is reaching terminal velocity! 😂🍿 Source: Strategic defense analysis by the Atlantic Council on Ukraine's military evolution (June 24, 2026).

@lobitocorriendo @IcarusTwit @Fooferan @AdrianP_doc 2010 neutrality vote was instigated by the deposed president and his party of the regions, which as you well know was supported by russian speakers. 2014 came and millions of russian speakers werent in any new elections,or votes. So the nato membership dynamic changed.

@IcarusTwit @Grahamfromeire @Fooferan @AdrianP_doc 2008 again, nice. No sources, you quoted. And 2010 is newer. And I really would like to have one to the statement that you did, about 2014. And yes, it was a statement. Are quotes sources? 2022, by Putin: “It fell to us to return what is Russia’s and strengthen the country.”

Except for Gary Kasparov, I have yet to see a Russian, even one who claims to hate Putin, to clearly state that Crimea belongs to Ukraine.

@audiocustoms82 @s_stehleiter @eckilepsie Konstanivka

@s_stehleiter @eckilepsie Welche "Festungsstadt" fällt denn gerade? Und die Technik von der du redest, ist in der Ukraine entwickelt und produziert. Westliche Rüstungsunternehmer stehen derzeit Schlange um ein Stück vom Ukrainischen Innovationskuchen abzubekommen 😉

Über Jahre wurde überall proklamiert, die Krym sei ohnehin verloren und man müsse das de facto akzeptieren, was man aber de jure nicht machen würde. Dass es ausgerechnet die Krym sein würde, über die die Rückeroberung beginnt, ist nicht nur bemerkenswert, es straft all die Lügen, die nicht früher, mehr und beständiger Waffen an die Ukraine geliefert haben.

@JGPN877 @polidemitolog Devalue currency, convert all export earnings to rubles, pay of debt. Yes imports more expensive, but more rubles for government to play with and less imports. Problem solved.

@Grahamfromeire @polidemitolog You haven't lived through a hyperinflation, have you?! Because it shows.. We, on the other hand, have! And I can tell you that there are real fuxking social consequences to doing that... Also I trade debt for a living so you can spare the mechanics of debt monetization.

Russian government plans to increase defense spending this year by 4 to 5 trillion rubles, or 55 to 69 billion dollars, which is nearly 40 percent above the original budget, Bloomberg reported citing sources. This will push the deficit higher and lead to more internal borrowing, with debt service costs already doubled since 2022 and expected to reach at least 15 percent of GDP over the next decade.

@PawlowskiMario It started when Zelensky asked to dig up a dead nazi in europe, gave the Nazi a state funeral and named a military unit after other Nazis

Here is my assessment of the issue between Poland and Ukraine🇵🇱🇺🇦 It’s 75% Nawrocki’s fault, Nawrocki blew it out of proportion by taking away the Medal from Zelenskyy, and 25% on Zelenskyy’s, Zelenskyy started it by accepting the UPA name for the military unit. Then the rest it’s 50-50 on Polish and Ukrainian nationalists fueled by natural stupidity and Russian propaganda. Nationalism is a cancer of our society that Russia is using for decades, look at the MAGA in America, it’s a Russian creation.

@PKohotozajima @vasilina_orlova You do realise that Russia has been hitting Ukraine with missiles and drones for the last 4 years, Ukraine imports all its fuel and half its electricity, the state functions on external financing and the military is totally dependent on foreign aid.

@vasilina_orlova They take Kostyantinivka and what ... Moscow is burning, terminals are burning, factories are burning, ferries are sinking near Crimea, Crimea's logistics are collapsing... but Russia is winning 🤡

The only copium of assorted pro-Russians left is Russia advancing in Kostyantinivka. However, Russia will sooner or later have to leave all the Ukrainian land Russia illegally occupies. The only internationally recognized borders of Russia are the borders of 1991.

@JGPN877 @polidemitolog Its internal debt financed by Russian banks and the central bank.

@Grahamfromeire @polidemitolog It's not 1%. Debt servicing has doubled from 4.5% of the total federal budget to 9% in just 4 years. That makes it around 3.5% of GDP. That's a huuuuge increase. For example US debt servicing is currently around 3.3% of GDP and that's already causing issues.

@polidemitolog @JGPN877 Its internal debt, financed by the central bank and the banking centre. No danger of external pressure, yes higher inflation. The Federal debt to GDP ratio any G7 country would kill for.

Due to high central bank interest rates, debt service has already doubled since 2022 and is taking up roughly 9% of total federal expenditures. Over the next decade, interest payments to service this debt are expected to cost at least 15% of GDP. When the Russian ruble becomes reserve currency, we can make comparisons with the US.

@sapitonmix Making a city state like the baltics reasonably decent is easy when compared to a country the size of Poland.

I’m actually super happy that Poland is an online economic darling, because this ensures a certain class of chudoids completely omit jerking off to Lithuania and Estonia, which have achieved similar levels of prosperity.

@warrensbuffet2 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Pretty bonkers that it’s likely that Crimea will be the first territory liberated by Ukraine since the counteroffensive

@JGPN877 @polidemitolog Its currently 1%. Not sure where he gets the 15% figure. By contrast the U.S. is 11%.

@polidemitolog 15% of GDP debt servicing cost is deep into "we are very fucked" territory

@PawlowskiMario He wasnt Polish foreign minister when he made those comments.

Here is the moment when Polish Foreign Ministry Radoslaw Sikorski reminded America, UK, France and damn Russia that they guaranteed Ukrainian security and borders in 1994🔥👏 Sikorski: “As you know, Russia, the USA, and Great Britain guaranteed the security of Ukraine and its borders. In exchange for Ukraine giving up what was then the third largest arsenal of nuclear weapons in the world. In 1994. So you have an obligation to Ukraine to help them defend their freedom.”

@PaulNiland @elonmusk Maybe it was John McCain inthe Maidan ? Or the billions of dollars that Nuland referenced in her senate commitee appearance. Either way the U.S. is responsible.

Only the claims in the underlying tweet are bullshit @elonmusk. USAID didn't fund the Revolution Of Dignity. The war that followed wasn't ergo USAID's fault, though russian propaganda would love your 240 million followers to believe that as it absolves them of blame.

@lobitocorriendo @IcarusTwit @VerballyBlonde @Fooferan @AdrianP_doc And the 2008 Bucharest summit was 6 years before Crimea.

@Grahamfromeire @IcarusTwit @VerballyBlonde @Fooferan @AdrianP_doc You do know 2021 was 7 years after RU took Crimea, right?

@lobitocorriendo @IcarusTwit @VerballyBlonde @Fooferan @AdrianP_doc " Therefore, I have a very simple question—why is Ukraine still not in NATO? Putting away these phrases that we will all contemplate and communicate, the first simple question from me would be: 'Mr. President, why are we not in NATO yet?'" Quote from zelensky to axios february 21

@IcarusTwit @VerballyBlonde @Grahamfromeire @Fooferan @AdrianP_doc Always the same years comes up, ending with 2008. In 2010, Ukr voted to stay neutral. Now show me any source that RU had to attack Ukr to stop them from joining NATO please.

@lobitocorriendo @IcarusTwit @VerballyBlonde @Fooferan @AdrianP_doc 2008 Bucharest summit ring a bell ?

@IcarusTwit @VerballyBlonde @Grahamfromeire @Fooferan @AdrianP_doc No they were not. No discussions regarding joining NATO existed at the time. There were no public support for joining NATO, this is something that happened after the annexation and an excuse RU used after taking Crimea.

@a_s_bratkowski Well he did give Crimea to Ukaine !

Wszystkim oburzającym się na Ukrainę za uznanie UPA za bohaterów narodowych, mam pytanie: kogo byście Ukraińcom wskazali jako ich bohatera narodowego? Nikitę Chruszczowa?

@M9053828456166 @ForeignPolicy Does Britain still have those ?

@ForeignPolicy But it has actually outsourced it's Navy and Air force to Britain.

Ireland has outsourced its military procurement, including legal, administrative, and logistical control, almost entirely to France. foreignpolicy.com/2026/06/18/ire…

@foxofreason Ukraine.

Name one country with a bigger victim mentality than Russia
