🔸The "front line" in Ukraine has disappeared. It's now a 20-30 km "kill zone" where everything is visible to drones. Soldiers hide in small "burrows," playing hide-and-seek with death. This is the new face of modern warfare.

Sehr gut, dass die Nachrichtendienste zu Russlands Kriegführung gegen uns öffentlich angehört werden und sehr gut, dass sie deutlich sprechen. Die „Leute nicht beunruhigen zu wollen“, war der falsche Ansatz. Offenheit und Klarheit helfen.

Russia continues to operate in the "Liminal zone" with actions both below and above the attribution threshold. Each ambiguous action they perform helps them slowly raise the response threshold allowing them to perform more damaging actions without a strong response.

Anyone who hopes that casting votes for AfD or BSW will help to be friends with Russia is up to rude awakening. Trump's and Nawrocki's examples show that Moscow will feel itself more empowered and its actions will get even bolder and more aggressive than now.

Is it worth mentioning that electing populist presidents with more favorable stance on Russia leads only to more hostile Russian behaviour towards those democracies that on their part react softer than their allies lead by "weaker" liberal politicians? That's why Russia supports populists worldwide.

Russia’s “Kherson Human Safari” has gone on for well over a year with limited outrage from the international community or media coverage.
Every day they use drones to specifically target civilians for “target practice” & often post videos of them doing it proudly.
Today they targeted a 1 year old.

Tonight, Russian terrorists killed 14 and injured 60 people in Kyiv alone. There were many direct hits on residential buildings. Many people are still under the rubble. But for the rest of the world, it's just another statistic of the Russian war crimes.
