Some #Soviet history for you:

The technological heart of the #USSR was #Ukraine

#Dnipropetrovsk (aka #Dnipro) was nicknamed "Rocket City" during the #ColdWar

So when #Russia invaded Ukraine, Ukrainian innovation answered. Russia has been paying for that miscalculation ever since, and will pay a lot more for their colossal error

Ukrainian ingenuity will win this stupid war

@benroyce That’s why Putin is desperate. Moscow without Kyiv is just oppression, theft, spies & violence. Most things ”Russian” aren’t from Moscow, but russianised through imperial coercion. Even the name of the state is!

When Muscovy & Novgorod merged in turn of 1500’s, Moscow’s Tšar simply assumed the title of ”King of all Rus”, which was the name of a Ukrainian civilisation from before the Mongols.

We all know Russians cheat & steal, but they even stole their origin story!!

@gimulnautti

is finland ready to secure karelia?

or maybe also the kola peninsula with your neighbors

i know it's russified now, and russia's chance of collapse is tiny

but it's not zero, and it grows daily as long as this stupid war continues
