You folks were super enthusiastic about my posting more on Mastodon, so let's try this.

RT/boost and let's see if there's interest in a regular #Ukraine thread!

Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

For the last year, I've been tracking a notorious Russian unit known for its role in killing 100s of civilians.

This past month we published how we found them.

@timkmak Tim this off the topic of your thread, but right now I’m listening to a podcast of the US-Ukraine Foundation (Robert McConnell -moderator, Luke Coffey, Ret Gen Ben Hodges, Ian Brzezinski, A. Vershbow, Debra Catan, Jon Herbst). Any comment on how much stock to put on their comments?

@MiriShuli Depends on their comments! What were they saying?

@timkmak Mostly that Ukraine can win and we ought to be doing everything in our power to make it so. Debra Catan was interesting when she stated, “it’s not our job to make sure Russia doesn’t lose”. It was a wide ranging discussion about tactics, strategy, capabilities and some political and corporate realities. One comment I found interesting was that there is a German company ready to spring forward to make munitions but Germany won’t put any Euros on the table.
