UN reports over 95% of Ukrainian prisoners of war were tortured in Russia
#Ukrainian prisoners of war are #tortured from the very first interrogation. They are beaten with metal rods and sticks, stripped naked and severely electrocuted. This is horrible. This is undoubtedly the worst thing I’ve seen in 20 years of my career while visiting the POWs on behalf of the UN.
This happened to more than 95% of Ukrainian POWs. These are #WarCrimes

#Putin's interview was beyond embarrassing, to be honest. Basically his entire argument is that #Ukraine historically belonged to #Russia.
By his own logic, Russia and Ukraine should both be part of Iran because the ancient Scythians (an Iranic people) lived there thousands of years ago, long before the arrival of the Slavic peoples.
This is exactly why I hope we erase natl borders one day and become one global federation. This planet doesn't belong to anyone. We're just guests here.

Once in a while, this guy puts out a banger of a video. Of course, I don't really have 30 minutes, so I did my thing and then rewound when he said was saying something interesting.
Overall though, suggestions are pretty thin.
I remember someone in the U.S. (Gen. Milley perhaps) absolutely racked on the coals in Fedi/TwiX for saying that Ukraine needs to do what Germans did in 1944. But that's the only choice to prevent a full surrender in 2025. The video literally suggests 1944: assume a defensive posture, trade ground for advantage, save men, wait for Putin to burn out. Oh, and make fewer mistakes.
Remember the "Ukraine does need to free all territory to win over Putin" zinger? Same thing: it's the only path to victory. Entente won over Germans in 1918 before their territory was freed.

#Russia last night’s railway sabotage attributed to #Ukraine SBU is rather impressive:
- First, fire broke out on a cargo train moving through a 15 km Severomuysky tunnel with 2-3 cisterns with fuel burning
- The tunnel has a much longer railway bypass, so the next trains were directed there - and blew up while they were crossing a Devil’s Pass bridge
The level of coordination deep in enemy terrain required for this is truly incredible.

"What Ukrainian resistance protects […] extends far beyond #Ukraine" - historian Timothy Snyder
Ukrainians are “delivering the kinds of security that we could not attain on our own” by defending the global and legal order established in the aftermath of the World War 2, performing “the entire NATO mission of absorbing and reversing an attack by russia,” and demonstrating to China that offensive operations do not come easy, making war in the Pacific much less likely

The vehicles have won praise from soldiers — even after they’ve hit mines, most people inside survive with just minor injuries — but they have not been able to breach Russia’s defenses alone.

Russia's Defence Ministry said on Wednesday it would deem all ships travelling to Ukrainian ports to be potential carriers of military cargo and their flag countries to be parties to the conflict on the Ukrainian side.
The move follows Russia's decision this week to pull out of the U.N.-brokered Black Sea grain export deal which had guaranteed the safety of Ukrainian exports for the past year.
