#Russia military Danil Tulenkov rather grim long read today, excerpts only:

As far as I can judge from my understanding of the situation on the ground in the SVO, we have already missed the opportunity for a freeze along the Line of Contact.

Therefore, the next stage of genuine negotiations will be based on the 1991 borders.

Russian society today is not psychologically ready for such an option; consequently, the authorities cannot even discuss such conditions in theory.

The chance to extricate ourselves from the war will not arise until society has matured enough to understand the inevitability of a complete withdrawal from Ukrainian territory and has come to terms with this reality.

Naturally, all of this could have been avoided a year ago had we taken a sober view of the situation. However, the top political leadership preferred its own reality, one in which it is half a step away from victory.

Tochnyi mapped how Ukraine systematically dismantled Russian logistics in occupied territory, from HIMARS forcing depot dispersal in 2022, to FPV drones creating a 35 km kill zone, to middle-strike drones now hunting convoys 150 km deep.

#Czech folks watching shitstorm between #Poland and #Ukraine over UPA while #Russia floods the social media with truly retarded “we’re now friends” AI-generated slop 😄

Fascinuje mě, jak se rusáci ten ukrajinský fuck up s UPA snaží podojit a Poláci jim říkají “nasrat”, protože vědí. 👍

Translation:

I’m fascinated by how the Russians are trying to milk that Ukrainian fuck-up with the UPA, and the Poles are telling them to “piss off” because they know. 👍

#Introduction

The easiest way to respond to various #Russia demands is usually to quote… those same Russian diplomats. In 2021–2022, Putin and Peskov brazenly replied that “the movements of our troops on our territory are our sovereign right and solely our business.”

Yesterday, Lavrov offered a perfect retort to the EU’s suggestion that any peace talks with Russia must include restrictions on conventional forces analogous to those Russia demands of Ukraine.

Lavrov simply said that this was an “idiotic proposal,” and that is exactly how I suggest we comment on similar Russian demands in the future. Lavrov can’t argue with Lavrov 🤷
