I will share one of my worst experiences reporting in Ukraine: it was talking to russian POWs saying to my face that Bucha and Izyum were staged. To witness their coldness, lack of remorse and empathy was as violent as witnessing exhumations proving their repeated war crimes.

Groundhog day every day. And "reset" - because all the other ones worked so well... They'll take the deals and bribe Trump and co., who'll ride the gravy train. And then continue the war.

Don't know how much louder I can yell If you don't believe 🇺🇦 saying 🇷🇺 wants to invade further, that any concessions now will be a springboard for a future invasion... maybe you'll believe the russians? Dictatorships lie about what they do. But they tell the truth about what they are going to do

Negotiate with this. For the 10000001 time, Putin will reject every "deal" I wonder if he told Witkoff this...
Vladimir Putin has said Russia will not back down from its mission to "liberate its historic lands" and predicted the European
"swine" backing Kyiv would ultimately lose power, in a speech that showed no readiness to compromise on the goals for his invasion of Ukraine.

Europe must overcome its fear of exercising power if it is to withstand the clear, present, and deadly threat emanating from Moscow, say @josephestiglitz.bsky.social and @andrewkosenko.bsky.social. Now, exercising power means financing Ukraine with Russia's frozen assets. bit.ly/48j4b1Z

RE: Putin's "swap" offers: This was Gromyko's negotiating strategy: 1) Demand something that has never been yours 2) Threaten during negotiations 3) Because there will *always* be someone in the West who gives you something And then you'll have a third, or a half, of something you have never had.

Intrusion of 🇷🇺 drones into 🇵🇱 shows difficulties 🇺🇦 (recently - 800 🇷🇺 drones into 🇺🇦) is facing >= 12 drones, 4-5 shot down. Interception rate ⬇️, using $$$ fighters, $$$ missiles (much more expensive than drones & targets, if any, themselves). No (known) use of anti-drone drones, machine guns, or EW

Andrew Kosenko @andrewkosenko.bsky.social · 10/09/2025
Poland and NATO will have to respond. And while they will nearly certainly not choose an offensive military response, whatever reaction emerges has to be forceful yet nonviolent. Seize Russia's frozen assets already.

Putin likes testing new leaders. He tested Zelensky similarly early on. That's what the attack on Poland was probably about. No doubt it was deliberate. Nawrocki is being tested.

Trump & Putin meeting in Alaska on 8/15 Apparently, without Zelensky. Potential catastrophe. Putin will present an (unacceptable) document for Zelensky to sign. Trump will go with it. After meeting, pressure will be on Z to sign it - which he will refuse to do, thus look as if he's uncompromising
