"The West must be prepared for armed confrontation with Russia. The best way to prevent that is to ensure that Ukraine wins the war"

@Katarzyna_Zysk also notes that if Putin senses Western weakness, the risk of escalation increases.

I concur.

@resist_refuse Weaponized COTS drones have been used by various groups and forces literally in one and a half dozen countries before - including the Islamic State.

#Ukraine: Ukrainian forces used indirect T-64 tank fire to destroy two Russian MT-LB armoured vehicles in #Kharkiv Oblast.
