Instead of replying to each question, I decided to put together a thread that better explains the context of the recent protest, and why this particular law triggered such an unexpected reaction, especially for those, who don’t follow internal Ukrainian politics. 🧵Thread:

Just pulling numbers out of his ass again. He does not know how math work.

This did not just happen overnight, even if it feels that way. This is a shift months in the making. I wrote last week about it coming to a head – and got a lot of criticism from many of the same people now condemning Zelensky. Read this for context: ft.com/content/22f4d5…

To be clear: it was not the Rada, this was not good tsar, bad boyars – it was Zelensky and Yermak who organized this and pushed it through. Orders came from the office of the president last night and the law enforcement committee passed it early morning in such great haste that…

After few hours of work, I geolocated around 450 new russian 🇷🇺 airstrikes since july 11th, north and north-east of Pokrovsk 🇺🇦. Those new airstrikes (in blue) are showing that russian forces intend a strong push north of Pokrovsk. 🧵THREAD🧵1/20 ⬇️

In light of recent photos and videos drawing public attention to Shahed drone production, a common question has emerged: Why can’t Ukraine simply strike the facility? Hit the archer, not the arrow! The answer, however, is more complicated than it seems. Here are a few key points:
