Russian propagandists claiming Ukraine doesn't exist
- Some argue Russian propagandists don't literally mean Ukraine doesn't exist, just that it's not an autonomous sovereign military adversary
- However, there are many examples of Russians explicitly stating Ukraine doesn't exist historically, culturally, in terms of identity and language
- Putin, Medvedev and others have denied Ukraine's right to exist as a separate nation from Russia
- An article from Ukraine World details Russia's strategy to erase Ukraine by taking their history, language and identity
- Genocidal rhetoric from Russian figures shows the dangerous consequences of this narrative
Protests in Moldova and Georgia
- Pro-Russian protests in Moldova seem staged, with identical flags and some protesters admitting to being bussed in
- The US accuses Russia of trying to destabilise Moldova's pro-Western government
- In contrast, pro-EU protests in Georgia seem more organic, with a younger crowd and a positive vision
- Russia has a history of trying to undermine pro-European governments in the region
How Ukraine can breach Russian defences
- Twitter thread outlines how Ukraine could breach Russian defensive lines using Western-supplied equipment
- Key steps: intensive reconnaissance, artillery barrage, clear minefields, send in armour and infantry
- Air defence from Patriots and HARM missiles is crucial to keep Russian aircraft at bay
- Multiple breaches should be made to throw Russians into disarray, then push to key objectives like Melitopol
- More equipment is needed from the West to ensure Ukraine has enough to decisively win
Wrap up
Jonathan shares an image of a Ukrainian machine gun with an ammo backpack as an innovative design. He needs to go get a cup of tea now as his throat is struggling from all the talking. He appreciates everyone's help and will speak again soon.
