If they aren’t fragging or kicking, they’re deserting.

The West has to step it up.

x This problem could be addressed if politicians passed whatever legislation is required to make these purchase orders, along with the legislation required to redirect the resources (namely steel) from other industries into shell production. — Andrew Perpetua (@AndrewPerpetua) November 18, 2023

Artillery shells may be a problem, but drone production is picking up.

Russia’s future will be one of decline but not in its danger to the West.

x 1) Russia’s pivot to the Global South will intensify. Anticipating a long-term, systemic confrontation with Western states, Russia is prioritizing its power projection into the Global South, expecting economic, coercive, deterrent, and political benefits. /2 — Hanna Notte (@HannaNotte) November 18, 2023

2) Russian arms sales: Overall down but not out. Russia will likely remain active in niche areas: -servicing big legacy customers (India); -selling lower-end defense goods to sub-Saharan Africa; -exporting military drones; -supplying weapons to states hostile to the US

So .. does his campaign end with him falling from a 13th story window and suddenly encountering the asphalt?

I’m not surprised. Even a lot of the OSINT accounts on Twitter have reduced Ukraine coverage to concentrate on Israel/Hamas.

x According to the report by the GDELT Analysis Service, about 8% of all daily news on CNN were devoted to Ukraine. After the outbreak of the war between Hamas and Israel, the number dropped to less than 1%. CNN writes about this after analyzing the data of media analysts.

This was revealed by the wife of one of the mobilised Russian men who ended up in the pit after refusing orders. The woman said they can be put there for no reason as well if the leadership doesn't like them. Likewise, she said that to go on leave, one needs to pay the officers 200k rubles in cash. Otherwise, they'll never leave the zero line.

And if you are lucky enough to die in a meat assault or the Pit of Shame (above) and have your body shipped home, maybe they’ll bury you next to a garbage dump.

Three Ukrainian teenagers who developed apps for children who have fled war have been awarded this year’s International Children’s Peace prize at a ceremony in London. Sofia Tereshchenko, 18, Anastasiia Feskova, 17, and Anastasiia Demchenko, 17, were awarded the prize for developing a pair of apps for refugee children. Inspired by a news report of a lone child crying while crossing the Ukraine-Poland border, the trio met online and developed one app for young children who have fled their country, to help them understand where they are and how to seek help, and another for older children on how to integrate into the countries they successfully sought refuge in.
