I can not fathom how #Ukraine will defeat Russia on the battlefield

So, what's the end game?

@Geri Ukraine would defeat Russia, only if the West kept up to its promises to impose sanctions and supply arms. But the West doesn't simply fail Ukraine. We fail ourselves, because Russia is already a kingmaker with it's hybrid warfare

@Geri sanctions are only as effective as you make them.
Kamil Galeev has been very good at documenting this.

Unfortunately, he's on ex-twitter and substack only. Here's what I think is an acceptable way of reading him

I recommend him as a way to understand Ruskiy Mir. Goes without saying that he's to be read critically. Even though he's very informed historically and a good narrator, his way of thinking has its own Russian biases.

@davoloid, I remember you're trying to keep up with Kamil's reports. Have you by any chance found other ways of following him?

@mapto That method above, via threadreader app, was ok for the last article. I think that's based on a twitter user calling on the particular article.

Follow

@davoloid as far as I remember from when I was following Kamil more closely over there, for each individual thread there were a couple of people requesting this before the thread was even complete. I guess this might be a particular synchronisation issue, but I can live with that
