No. We are not interested at all in these little ideological games in the middle of a genocidal war of annihilation. This is moral tone deafness and spiritual stupidity that is unfathomable to those of us who actually care about the country rather than about scoring points

Anyone curious for details about the ideological background and organizational affiliations of this person who's been innocuously labeled a "defender"?

Ukrainian army and activists have begun calling Russian marauders at home and asking them why they stole. Begin to humiliate and threaten them. These audio clips are now all over Ukrainian telegram channels and are great to listen to.

Wow, a Belarusian group received data from some "неравнодушные люди" (i.e. hackers or internal leakers from SDEK) that identified the people who used this parcel delivery service to return loot back to Russia. Included are names, phone, and items delivered

A homeless but upbeat Odessan fellow with a cut up nose stopped me and @dpatrikarakos to ask us for some money. “Gents: I am an alcoholic, not a drug addict…” he began proudly.

This is insane and some would say propaganda- deeply disappointed ⁦ @nytimes ⁩ - we should hope to assume that the editor who allowed this does not know how many people died in Eastern Ukraine.

Another very fun Ukrainian MP @DmytroNatalukha (follow him!) just now - “the most sacred right of any free man is the right to tell people to fuck off regardless of their social status or position”.. This is what we are fighting for! The pure Ukrainian conception of freedom!”

A senior Ukrainian Member of parliament confirms to me that the Ukrainian army is moving quicker in some sectors than the gov had expected “we did not think that the Russian lines were so thin or that they would be so cowardly”.

Why did we send $54 billion to Ukraine, so Zelensky & his wife could pose for Vogue? You’re at war & you’ve got time for photo shoots?

This was never about NATO. This was about the existence of Ukrainian state and society outside of the control of Moscow. It is simple as that.

As a historical matter, this is simply true. The Biden administration could have avoided war with Russia by taking the issue of NATO expansion off the table.

Zelensky just appealed to Georgians to let Saakashvili (who seems to be dying) go- "What happening now is cruelty. This must be stopped. Please make a decision that can save his life. Transfer Mikheil Saakashvili to one of the clinics of Ukraine, another European country”

@stillgray @elonmusk @DavidSacks This is wrong. Experience slows us that under Russian occupation the average Ukrainian young man is shot in the back of the head and the average Ukrainian young woman is raped by Russian soldiers.

According to unofficial information, a #Russia missile, most likely Kh-22 or Kh-101, fell in Poland. As the article reads, most likely Russians programmed their missile to violate Polish airspace and then attack #Ukraine from #Poland .

Hanging out in Odessa with my very chic family friend of 15 years -Lika Bezchastnova in her restaurant “Dzingoff” - she reopened on Saturday after 4 months - and the Russian rockets hit the port an hour after reopening. Her friends joked that she has a big budget for fireworks.
