If the worst possible scenarios become reality, Putin will no doubt continue pursuing his imperialistic ambitions with full steam. As a Finn I can say that we'll never surrender our land to russians. We would fight to the last Finn & take whole generation of russians with us.

Reason 1: Finland is mostly covered by thick forests, cliffs, swamps, lakes & rivers. It is a miserable terrain to invade, and Finnish doctrine aims to exploit it to the fullest. Finnish units are mobile, well versed in camouflaging & used to working with the terrain.

Starting to really look like that the whole russian northern front has collapsed. AFU is chasing the retreating enemy & not giving them any chance to set up proper defences. If this progress continues, we have to start talking about Kharkiv-style counter offensive in Kherson ๐Ÿ’ช

It just boggles my mind how considerably large group of people in Finland still don't understand the fact: Russia is an hostile neighbour. There never were any real "friendship" or "good relations"between us Russia is, has always been & will always be the only enemy of Finland

Russians gave up the city of #Borova without a fight? Ukrainian paratroopers are reportedly already in the city. Unbelievable ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

@IAPonomarenko In full video, we can see him throwing 3 grenades back at the attackers and shooting back, not surrendering. Thats the spirit that is needed but its so sad to see him die alone like that.

Unconfirmed reports that AFU has already advanced inside #Kreminna and that there is fighting on the streets. Let's see can they use the momentum that they gained from #Lyman and capture Kreminna straight away.

The Finnish authorities had an operation in Kotasaari, owned by russian oligarch Igor Kesaev. Island had many suspicious constructions, not typical for an ordinary holiday home. For example, Kesayev had built a helipad and surrounded it with walls of sand. #Finland
