"I spent most of the day talking to #Ukrainians, some of whom are fighting, some of whom are making drones, some of whom are doing other things to keep their country going. I have to say it doesn't feel like a place that's giving up, and it doesn't feel like it looks like a place that's shutting down.

So whatever you've read in the newspaper, whatever you saw on social media, think again when you see this."

Autokraten und Diktatoren liefern scheinlösungen und greifen Demokratien politisch an.

#Anne_Applebaum has published an article in #The_Atlantic that, as she says herself, is different from most recent articles about #Ukraine.

She excitedly describes the drone factories and other military facilities she saw in #Ukraine and notes how much they evolved since last year.
