I'd like to share a brilliant example of the asymmetrical warfare that has achieved astonishing results for Ukraine: about $12 billion destroyed Russian equipment.

Pavlo "Lasar" Yelizarov used to be a TV-show producer before the full-scale invasion. In February 2022, he started defending Ukraine.

Lithuanian National Defence Minister Dovilė Šakalienė:

For Russia,strategic dilemmas are its tools,its weapons…Until Russia feels that it will suffer consequences of its war of aggression that would impair its ability to expand its military power, everything else is just talk.

I am not as optimistic. Some of the latest polls show opposition parties to be at around the same level.
With the current control of the power Orban can falsify between 10-15% of the votes.
This would be reported as close victory. Things are not as well as everyone would hope

These drones are increasingly used by Russia because they are less susceptible to interception.

Right-wing authoritarian populism is gaining sway around the world, across Europe and in the UK, such as Farage’s latest pop-up populist party Reform. The Kremlin seeks to leverage populism and finances extremist movements, politicians and contrarians. youtu.be/d9GrMaZ6eR0

Day 1328 of my 3 day war. Ukrainians strikes on our refineries have had so little effect that most forms of fuel are now free.

More nuclear threats from the Russian propagandists should Ukraine get Tomahawks.

Solovyev has said that "they [the West] will die but we'll go to heaven" at least three times in the past couple of weeks.
