Ukrainian President Zelensky has said that Ukraine is “getting stronger” in Kursk, with his troops blowing up a second bridge in the Russian territory on Sunday. https://cnn.it/3yRbAb6

I'm sure the NYTimes will publish another story about how Putin is on the road to victory any day now!

I'm sure the Master Strategist has already taken quick and decisive actions that will bring the situation back under control.

Zelensky said they currently control almost 1200 square kilometers of Russian land. While it doesn't look like this was a flanking maneuver that just went swimmingly, it sure as hell doesn't look like that now.

I still don't know what the end game on this will be, but this is unequivocally good news.

Trade this land for Crimea and the eastern provinces that Russia claims are theirs in any peace settlement.

Yeah, it's a bargaining chip now. Plus it makes Putin and his projection of Russia's strength and power look ridiculous. Dude can't even defend his own border, but he's trying to form alliances with dictators in Africa? Lmao.

It also means Russia has to divert resources away from offensive operations to defend.

And Zelensky has effectively proven Putin's threats are hollow and he's nothing more than a paper tiger.

Apparently Ukrainians are leaving reviews on Russian restaurants in territory they control.

A+

Wait, was this a typo?

Favorite line: "In September, Medvedev said strategic nuclear weapons could be used to defend territories incorporated into Russia from Ukraine."

So......you're going to strike the territory you want to take with......strategic nuclear weapons? Bold strategy, Cotton.

We should make The Convict register as a foreign agent.

That, and also revoke any security clearance he might still have, and also pull Musk's security clearance after all of his antics in the last couple of years.

What a wonderful unintended consequence! The Russian military had been using Telegram as its main way of coordinating their war against Ukraine. Now they are left in a lurch, per @WSJ. StandwithUkraine

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has brought so much hardship and disruption to millions of lives. But despite everything, Ukrainians continue to show incredible resilience. Organizations like Algorytm NGO https://algorytm.ngo/en in Lutsk are doing great work to support displaced people and help rebuild communities. It's inspiring to see these efforts to help those affected by the war, even as the challenges continue.

Sad Vlad.

Maybe the GOP will propose sending weapons to their biggest ally.
