Prof. Michael. #Clarke about Russian human waves:

"They brought criminals out of prison who go on the attack in the front line. They are mobilized behind them and only in the third row are the soldiers of the regular units... they literally throw men into the attack. They are literally human waves."

Soldiers of the Russian army fighting in the front line, but only in the third line, act as "blockers". “Their job is to shoot anyone who retreats. In other words, you go forward or you get shot…”

A #Turkish company says it is in talks to send floating "#powerships" 💡 to #Ukraine to supply electricity to the beleaguered country as #Russia steps up attacks on #civilian #infrastructure.

#Karpowership, which claims the world's largest fleet of such vessels, would send ships close to #Odesa, Ukraine's largest #port, a senior company executive told Nikkei.

#Minister of #Defence of Ukraine, Oleksii #Reznikov:

#Ukraine government official
Over the past nine months, #russia has launched more than 16,000 #missile #attacks on #Ukraine.
97% of russian targets are #CIVILIAN.
We are fighting against a #terrorist state. Ukraine will prevail and will bring the war #criminals to #justice.

#Churchill speech & Ukraine war footage

Don't forget that the future of #Europe and the entire free world is being fought for in #Ukraine.

With the policy of #appeasement and #fear of #confrontation, we have once again created an #enemy who despises us, wants to destroy us and does the impression that the right of the stronger decides, not the people & law.

Can we unite again and patiently endure hardships (even from economic point of view only) as our grandfathers did - risking their lives?

#Zelensky:

"We understand that #terrorists are preparing new strikes and as long as they have #missiles, they won’t stop.
But our ability to #help each other and take care of the most vulnerable-our mutual assistance is one of elements of #protection against #terror and our strength."

I was expecting something more intelligent like: #NATO also targeted substations in Serbia,which could cause controversy...

(some people don't know the difference between the intervention to stop air defenses, limit communications of the Serbian army,without long-term consequences for civilians VS
systematic/long-term attack on electricity/water/heat facilities without targeting military targets, which is the Russ.approach)
