Officer, Swedish Armed Forces. I mostly tweet about security issues. Opinions expressed often my own. Cynic. Extremism in the defence of Democracy is no vice.

The Russian maximalist claims on Ukraine persist. The only solution is to bomb Russia until it, without a hint or shadow of a doubt, has lost the war. Then we can discuss reparations for Ukraine and war crime trials of the Russian leadership. Anything less means another war at Russias choosing.

I can’t stop laughing. Ukrainians have started a new challenge: for people to log into a Russian app (via VPN) that tracks fuel availability and falsely report that gas is available at stations. Russians are wasting what little gas they have driving to these stations only to find out there’s no gas🤣

❗️Zelensky says Ukraine has reached the capacity to produce high-tech weapons at a scale that may exceed Russia’s long-term capabilities. He ordered the Foreign and Defense ministries to seek more partner funding, while air defense supplies become Ukraine’s top diplomatic priority in the coming days.

"We fly in Russia like it's our own territory. Almost no resistance, not hard to reach a target," Yevhen Karas, commander of the 413th regiment Raid of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces, said. Russia is deep into the ’find out’ stage of the special military operation.

1/2 “Russia threatens to strike Kyiv. Again. After 4 years of missiles, drones, murdered civilians, and burning apartment blocks, the Kremlin now presents terror as a ‘new warning.’ At this point, even Ukraine’s MFA asked if it’s:
