In ~7 years of watching protests in Georgia from the ground, I've never seen anything like this. Starting to look bad for the Georgian Dream government.

I think in the entire day in Kharkiv today the longest we've gone without hearing artillery is about eight minutes

Russian troops have reached the Bakhmut-Lysychansk road, taking positions on it about 2km north of Soledar. Ukrainian forces struggling to contain the advance.

Hardly even have words to describe the scale of the Russian defeat in Kharkiv oblast. What an absolute catastrophe - and incredible, masterful success for the Ukrainian armed forces. This will be in the history books.

Friends in Chechnya telling about just how unpopular this war is there. Everyone hoping for Russian/Kadyrovtsy deaths. "Ukrainian population is 40x Chechen one, so we hope they inflict 40x the losses [on Russia/Kadyrovtsy]," one tells me.

Insane footage. Fighter jet dogfights over a European capital in 2022.

Worth pointing out that Ukrainian commanders have singled out the Gepard as one of the most crucial elements of their forces in the Kharkiv counteroffensive, keeping the Russian airforce at bay. Germany's support to Ukraine has been significant.

There is nothing that will test your patience more than listening to a group of new Russian arrivals in the Caucasus talk about how much they hate it here and how awful it was that they had to come to such a terrible country as Armenia

A really desperate sign for Moscow here: Russia is pulling not only some of its own forces from South Ossetia to reinforce units in Ukraine, but even some South Ossetian units themselves are leaving for the front

Confirmed: Russian units from the 4th Guards occupation base in Tskhinvali are leaving the region through the Roki tunnel and heading to fight in Ukraine. In addition to Russia's 58th Army units, volunteers from the so-called South Ossetia are reportedly also leaving for Ukraine.

A rally in support of Ukraine in Armenia, much outsizing the one a few days ago in support of Russia. Don't believe the lobbyists.

This is #Kharkiv , east #Ukraine , on 6 March 2022. Before Putin began his barbaric war against the Ukrianian people, Kharkiv was a vibrant city of 1.5 million people. How can the world let this happen?!?
