I'm Just Gonna Leave This Right Here

If these published accounts by the @KyivIndependent are even close, they are disastrous. Having been the US 7th Army Commander, if I were the Russian Combined Arms Army Commander I’d be very worried right now. (Especially since one of the “boats” is a warship.) pic.twitter.com/HuTw1QyPrH

And by the way, the Russians haven’t even entered into “close combat” with Ukrainian forces in most cities. The RU are going to take a shellacking there.

And I REALLY don't want to hear anything about the U.S. being somehow responsible for this because "NATO" or "Nicaragua." I will accept "Trump/Ukraine," however.

Local authorities have confirmed that Russian troops have killed, Yuri Prilipko, the head of the Hostomel community.

He was distributing bread and medicine to the people when he was approached by the Russians and killed together with 2 other Ukrainians.

There was a small army of highly paid lawyers in DC & NY who used to send threatening letters when we covered their Russian oligarch clients.

I've been reaching out to them over the past few days to ask if they're still representing the oligarchs.

They have mostly not responded

I was gonna leave it at those first two tweets; I really was. But Russia's future is not bright:

What’s the over-under on Trump defaulting before Russia? https://t.co/CPcAyPU7K0

Yes, I know, the Russian people are innocents in this. So are the Ukrainian people:

This is Monday’s @nytimes Page One, one of the most important of the war bc of the powerful photo at the top.
It shows how Russian troops targeted civilians fleeing the village of Irpin.
At least 3 members of a family of 4 died in the attack.
The photo is by @lynseyaddario. pic.twitter.com/uACiQ4DAz1

“I will never forgive Russia.” Billboards curse at Russians, telling them to get out. In Russia's Telegram chatrooms, Ukrainians post photos of civilians killed by Russian forces. They rail at Putin on review pages of Moscow restaurants. https://t.co/dU1IeQadeO
