russia didn't stop being hostile when the Cold War ended. They just changed weapons. While the West treated 1991 as a victory, Moscow quietly launched a long term game designed to hollow out Western security from within. 🧵👇

Ballistic missiles hit in minutes. All Trump is doing by cutting early launch warnings is to ensures civilians don't make it on time to the shelter. He isn't playing some high-level diplomacy. He is just gambling with Ukrainians chances of survival.
russia launches the missiles but the US chooses not to warn Ukraine. russia invaded Ukraine but the US restricted Starlink after it allowed Ukraine to build its defense around it. The US isn’t just enabling russia anymore, it’s actively sabotaging Ukraine’s ability to survive.
It would be nice if our countries took this opportunity to understand how vital it is to do something against bot farms.
Trump is literally behaving like a russian troll by blaming Ukraine for record diesel prices. What a convenient deflection when it was his useless war on Iran what drove prices through the roof, not Ukraine.
Why is Trump so aggressively pressuring Ukraine to stop hitting russian refineries (which only weakens russia’ war)l machine) while never applying the same pressure on Putin to stop slaughtering Ukrainian civilians? This is disgusting.

Lowkey trying to fix my only regret. open.substack.com/pub/lexalrnt...
It started with a lie.
A popular one, as I would later find out.

3 years ago I came to Ukraine planning to volunteer in Lviv for 3 months. I'm still here. My only regret is that I didn't do a better good job at documenting my time here, writing about it, having a louder voice. Let's see if I manage to change that going forward😅

Ukrainians have to survive russia's genocidal invasion with minimal support they have to be endlessly grateful for, not talk about the war so Westerners can keep their sense of normalcy & not commemorate loved ones killed by russians because it offends russians. WTF is this?
Funny how all those people sharing the news about Navalny being poisoned couldn't be bothered to share anything about Kherson human safaris or russia's relentless attacks on Ukrainian power grid. No, they just scrolled past all that. It was Navalny that made them click share🤮
The world needs to stop pretending not to see russia's genocide in Ukraine. The world needs to stop entertaining useless "peace negotiations" that russia usses as cover to intensify attacks. The world needs to seriously help Ukraine stop russia & held it accountable.
When the f*ck will Western leaders understand that there's absolutely no point in having a dialogue with russia? They tried and failed so many times that even the thought of entertaining a dialogue is laughable at this point.
After 12 years of genocidal war, our primary achievement has been pressuring Ukraine, the victim, to abandon its NATO membership aspirations. Meanwhile, russia's hybrid acts of war & rhetoric have only grown stronger, with open threats now directed at the rest of Europe.
I hope that when russia's war will rage on the rest of Europe's streets, everyone will remember that all our countries could agree on for years was what they won't do for Ukraine.

Kind of hypocritical honoring lives taken by past genocides, while completely ignoring the one russia is commiting in Ukraine right now.
So, if any country wants to occupy territory from their neighbors, commit genocide against the locals and not only get away with it, but have the US advocate in their favor, to be given even more land without a fight, now it's the time to do it.
We sent 2 anti-drone nets for another group of fighters in the Kherson direction on the order of Mr. Oleksandr. Drones are scary 😱🦟 but these nets help our fighters stay protected 😼

"How dare you not buy weapons to defend yourselves against russia from a pro-russian source who hates you, and who will clearly use any dependency to betray and blackmail you if russia attacks you"
US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau today slammed European NATO allies for prioritizing their own defense industry over American arms suppliers, according to three NATO diplomats.

How you know russian propaganda only works on absolute imbeciles? NATO is guilty for not respecting an alleged verbal promise, denied by Gorbachev himself, MADE TO USSR, while russia is not guilty for breaking every agreement & treaty THAT THEY SIGNED. Logic: 0 Idiocracy: ♾️
A "peace plan" that doesn’t address security, justice, accountability, sovereignty & war crimes, isn’t a peace plan, it’s a freeze-the-war plan. It pauses the war while leaving the victim vulnerable, the aggressor rewarded, the crimes unaddressed & a future war assured.
The fact that putin is voicing russia's genocidal intent towards Ukrainians, unbothered, unworried of any repercussions, says a lot about the state of the world. No more hiding behind lies. If you have nukes, you can commit genocide & the West will pretend is not happening.
Horrific that the world has tacitly agreed to allow russia to do whatever it wants in Ukraine. There's no red line that would move us into action, not even Ukrainian children taken to military camps in North Korea. Nothing will ever erase the shame of this disgusting cowardice.
At some point, someone you're having a conversation with, will claim that when it comes to russia's war against Ukraine, they are neutral. It is very important to remind them that neutrality in the face of genocide isn't neutrality at all, it's complicity.
russia isn’t seeking peace. Its goal is to stall and distract Ukraine’s allies, while continuing to push on the frontline, carry out nightly attacks on civilians & on Ukraine's critical infrastructure. And the cycle keeps repeating because our leaders allow it.
Fortunately, our current leaders weren't in charge during WWII. They probably would have let Hitler dictate the peace terms. Very unfortunate for us and future generations though🥲
People weaponizing one tragedy to minimize others, as if only one group can "win" the microphone are disgusting. Gaza: used to mute Ukrainians Sudan: used to mute Ukrainians Congo: used to mute Ukrainians Only purpose: deflect attention from russian war crimes.
