Seems things go very slow and then incredibly fast, Ukraine's progress in the last few days is next level, Russia appears in total disarray in the north east and leaving behind huge amount of resources in the process without mounting much resistance

It’s astonishing, and very heartening. The thing that worries me is what might Putin do to as he is backed into a corner, militarily and politically.

Yeh, read lots of hot takes but seems no one has any idea really where he goes from here, he appears to have no good options militarily, economically or politically so is left extremely vulnerable and weak

His own people will want rid of him if the retreat continues. If it's shit or bust he might as well do tactical nukes, if he can find anyone to obey his orders. Life imitating a Jack Ryan film.

Jack Ryan film.

Book

The reports coming out of Ukraine are so uplifting.

Not to belittle the horrific human cost, on both sides, of the last six months, Putin having his arse handed to him is a joy to see.

Megacunt

One of his underlings should throw him out a window.

What a day to decide not to follow news.
I've been giving the news a miss lately due to excessive coverage of a certain other event, but fuck me a quick glance tells me they've captured Izyum and Kupyansk.

I guess the collective frustration we've heard in all those intercepted phone calls from Russian conscripts must have eventually built up to a complete collapse of willpower.

Didn't know Ukraine had taken back so much. I guess with Putin's control of state media the Russian people have no idea....

Imagine if Ukraine wins the war properly on the battlefield. No tactical exit for Russia or anything, just a proper defeat. It will be a new world.

Or the end of ...

and now central Moscow closed off and rumours of a coup, probably just that but this is how these things start...

Does a Downfall parody indicate the end for Putin?

It won’t be until Russia exhaust all their power to try and destroy the Ukrainian.

Like the siege of Leningrad, they believe power is number despite lack of training

verified ukrainian twitter accounts. as i said it’s a rumour but seeing as Vovchansk right on the border doesn’t have any Russians anymore and things are changing by the hour anything can happen.
Wishful thinking but nobody a week ago expected for the Ukrainians to be where they are now

Seeing elsewhere on Twitter that these are just measures to enable Moscow city celebrations tomorrow.

Onwards to Belgorod....

Twitter's in a mad array of centre closed down, mysterious planes leaving and a Ferris wheel that's stopped working... Make of that what you will...

Ukraine now claiming the southern offensive was all a ruse

The mood on the propaganda shows has shifted
