Ovechkin is a piece of shit. But that’s hardly new info. He led PutinTeam back in 2017. He is consistent in supporting the Russian regime and its actions. The problem is that @NHL deliberately tolerates that. And will continue to do so because Russians are good at hockey. 16.4K views · 1K likes · 105 reposts · 66 replies Open on X →

I can’t even imagine what people at the front are feeling right now. Just months ago, Ukrainian morale was at its highest point since the late-2022 counteroffensive. Now, Kyiv seems to have squandered that momentum through domestic political infighting. 36.8K views · 178 likes · 20 reposts · 13 replies Open on X →

If I had to vote in peacetime, I’d probably vote for Fedorov. But calling for an election during an all-out war is wrong. There’s no way Ukraine can hold an election now, with the country defenceless & millions at the front. It would only destabilize an already fragile country. 21.1K views · 783 likes · 120 reposts · 41 replies Open on X →

No one in Ukraine has ever hoped that Russians would protest against anything. Like ever. For Ukrainians, Russians protesting is an oxymoron. 6K views · 74 likes · 10 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

Ukraine may have hoped that its drone attacks would cause Russians to protest the war—but an inherited Soviet mentality makes it unlikely, @annanemtsova argues: https://t.co/XDfC0X2urC 419.9K views · 182 likes · 25 reposts · 243 replies Open on X →

Zelensky, under pressure from the streets, was forced to fire the highly unpopular Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi. The protesters still expect Zelensky to overcome his ego, and reappoint Fedorov as defense minister. This one will be much harder. No one likes to admit mistakes. 10.1K views · 398 likes · 30 reposts · 18 replies Open on X →
