🤨 As diplomatic talks progress, don’t be fooled by Russian words. The only viable solution is for them to leave what was known as “Ukraine before 2014”. Nothing less. We must keep pressure on Putin and our respective governments! Oh, and why do we feel so bad about recent Biden’s words about Putin? I mean, a lot of people are wishing for much more than simply “not stay in power”.
💪🏻 Stalled or retreating troops. Low morale. Decreasing attacks. High casualties and losts. Retaken cities by Ukrainian troops. Odessa and Kyiv free with minimal damages. I’m not a military expert or a military pundit, but these signs point to a turning point. Let me hope for even brighter days ahead. 🙏🏻✌🏻
😀 After reading the news this morning on the situation of the war in Ukraine, I feel more upbeat than usual. It appears that Russian advances in recent days and hours are very limited, except in the sky, but they don’t have sky supremacy, yet. Far from it. Ukrainians are simply incredible at fencing one of the most powerful (well, that’s what we thought) armies in the world. 🇺🇦
It will take ages to recover from this mess, but meanwhile, I’ll take any ray of light in a heartbeat.
🇺🇦🍽 I had this dinner yesterday night with some friends. The war in Ukraine subject came up. In fact, I brought it up, on purpose. As you might expect, I was adamant about our lack of support to the Ukrainian people. My point is that we must do much more even if we have to pay a price. I was emotional about it. Sure it made my friends feel uneasy. I cannot envision a discussion about Ukraine without being passionate and emotional. 😒🖤
🤔 I’m not a military expert, far from it, but as we go further into this insane and highly criminal war, facts show there is something wrong with the Russian army. Highly exposed and long columns of standing still vehicles, attacking on way too many fronts at once, losing so many soldiers in such a short time frame, are good examples that show how amateurish the Russian army is. Russia isn’t a superpower, both military and economically. Rumours are to the effect that missiles inventories are at an all-time low. And I’m not even talking about troops’ morale. As much as 75% of the operational army of Russia is supposedly dedicated to the invasion of Ukraine. Only 25% of their active resources are left scattered across Russia. 🇷🇺🔫
Russia apparently is failing at their primary military objectives: occupy territory in a sustainable way and seize Ukraine’s leadership.
Now the question is: why are so scared of Russia?
🇺🇦 While current negotiations between Russian criminals and Ukraine leaders are taking place, I sincerely hope that if ever a deal is signed between the two, the west will be the next to convince and deal with and the one who sets the conditions to undo, even in small steps, the pressure on Russia. They have to pay the price for decades to come. I’m so angry at them. Does it show? 😡
📧 I decided to return to Telegram to get the news about the war in Ukraine. It’s fast. Simple. I subscribe to a few groups. We do see things in there that is not available on other news feed. I prefer Telegram to Twitter for that type of stuff. Some content is shocking for sure. But was is. Call me a masochist. 😞
😡 Let’s face it. Vladimir Putin has no morale. He’s a criminal. His only goal in life is war. He doesn’t care about his people. He only cares about himself. He wants to make Russia “great again” but not for his people, for himself. After Ukraine, he will look around and select his next target. And invade. Eventually, he will make a mistake. Either he will pay for it, or we will all pay for it. Mark my words.
🗓️ The title may be a bit “clickbait-ish”, but it is what it is. Again, my creativity (writing, musing, photography) is taking me off the compulsive consumption of news about the war in Ukraine. In a way, my creativity is helping me survive and stay sane. How do you stay sane?
‼️ 🇷🇺 Current events around the world, triggered by the criminal invasion of Ukraine, are setting the stage for WWIII. I cannot see how this conflict can continue without forcing more countries to get militarily involved. It could be anything involving another country’s reaction to help before Putin thinks it is an act of war. This criminal is just patiently waiting for it.
The longer the war continues, the more apparent it is to me: we’re not ready to admit it yet, but we are clearly on the path to the next world war in Europe.
