🔴 A Shahed drone costs roughly $30–50k
🔴 A Patriot interceptor costs $3.7–4M

russia has been launching hundreds of Shaheds at 🇺🇦 cities in a single night for 4 years now!

If the plan was to counter cheap mass drones with multi-million-dollar interceptors, is anyone surprised it is failing?

Absolutely phenomenal video 🎯, but you have to speak Ukrainian to watch the original (there’s an AI translation into English)

Nailed it!

Iranians are asking if we have any spare air defence to stop US and Israel bombing them. I told them this will only prolong the war & that they should trade land for peace

Do follow Casey if you aren't already - one of the sharpest minds on Russia

We've overestimated Russia for too long The recent anniversary of Russia's expanded invasion, which is now stretching into its fifth year, is as good a time as any to take stock of the state of the war itself. For Ukraine, the fighting rem...

As many casualties as the US had in WWII. An offensive that's moving slower than WWI. An economy that's now in stagflation. And a wild collapse in geopolitical influence.

Call Russia's invasion of Ukraine what it is: the greatest strategic failure we've seen in decades.

Me in @kyivindependent.com:

It's going to fun digging up all those posts from those western neo con war shills who spent ages saying it was fake news that the USA would bomb Iran. They must feel like idiots now.

Oh. Wait. The guys who said that about Ukraine are now who you have to listen to on Iran.

"Iran was, for a long time, part of Western sphere of influence. Now, given the fact that Israel has a nuclear arsenal & could end humanity if it's humiliated, the best solution is for Tehran to demilitarize & cede Straits of Hormuz to Tel Aviv"

4 years ago Vika Honcharuk was living her dream life as an investment banking analyst on Wall Street in New York

Then 🇷🇺 invaded her homeland!

She spoke to Yalda Hakim about her decision to return to 🇺🇦 & re-train as a medic

On the frontline Viktoriia treated both 🇺🇦🇷🇺 soldiers

Russian casualties are now between 1.1m and 1.4m, of whom 230,000-430,000 are dead.

Europe's Peaceful Future Begins Where Illusions End As the 4th anniversary of Russia's war on Ukraine approaches, Europe's fear of provoking Putin has resulted in escalation and the time to stop making the same mistakes is now, argues Andrew Chakhoyan

Europe's Peaceful Future Begins Where Illusions End

russia does not seek cooperation. It likes 🇪🇺 weak & holds our democratic tradition in contempt. It seeks to divide & conquer. For Moscow warmaking is meaning-making.

Per anni le capitali europee hanno creduto che legami economici e prudenza diplomatica potessero contenere il revanscismo del Cremlino. I fatti dimostrano il contrario. Ora il continente deve decidere se continuare a rassicurarsi o costruire una difesa credibile - di @andrewchak.bsky.social

"Pestare lo stesso rastrello" è la traduzione letterale di un modo di dire ucraino. Sapranno i leader europei smettere di pestare il "rastrello" russo, evitando di commettere gli errori del passato?

Buona lettura.

According to Orbán, when Russia invades Ukraine, bombs our cities, razes our towns, and burns families alive in their homes with drones, it’s fine—but when Ukrainians defend themselves, it’s suddenly an “unprovoked act of hostility.”

Do not confuse! 🤦‍♀️

For More Than A Decade, Ukraine Has Stood On The Front Line Of Europe Defending What We All Should Stand For.

The years keep adding up.

February 24, 2026 marks four years of the russian full-scale war.

What happens next depends on all of us.

Stand With Ukraine! 💙💛

Dear @economist.com, let me help you with headline writing

russia’s war is waging putin, not the other way around

Time to revisit an article that explains what’s at stake 👇
#ArmUkraineToWin

You’re asking the wrong question @economist.com, focusing on personalities instead of what russia is

This isn’t “vladimir putin’s tyranny.” It is THE tyranny

You cannot separate moscow from the prison of nations it governs

A state spanning 11 time zones is incompatible with the absence of tyranny
