An op-ed by Serhii Filimonov the commander of Ukraine's 108th "Da Vinci Wolves" Separate Mechanized Battalion:
"Newly formed brigades within the Ukrainian military face critical challenges on the front lines. Poornagement, lack of experience, and inadequate training have resulted in territorial losses, damaged equipment, and tragic casualties. NATO’s training methods often fail to align with the realities of modern warfare. Despite receiving advanced equipment and personnel, these brigades falter due to weak coordination and leadership.
These units lack a solid command and control 'backbone.' Their core comprises reserve officers, officers from non-combat roles, and individuals promoted despite prior underperformance in combat positions...
Substantial reforms are urgently needed in Ukraine’s basic combat training. However, no reforms can succeed without commanders who earn the trust of soldiers and volunteers alike. The absence of this trust has led...

RT @SeanTrende: 22 years ago (!!!) today my sister threw me a birthday party in Adams Morgan. Halfway in the bouncer came up to me and said "these girls weren't on the guest list but I didn't think you'd mind." I looked over, saw @emytrende for the first time and said "no, you did good."

@Capt_Navy: Small incident, but I think we will see the Baltic heating up more this year.

@mpaasternak @Capt_Navy: This is a general assessment, I think the heat will go up a few notches.
Damaged sea floor infrastructure, regardless of method, is only parts of the equation here.
Intended, or unintended, consequences of more traditional military activity shouldn't be overlooked.

La France dénonce une « action agressive » de la Russie après qu’un avion de la marine française a été ciblé par un système antiaérien…
Un Atlantique 2 de la marine nationale effectuait un vol de surveillance dans le cadre d’une opération de l’OTAN en réaction à des dégradations de câbles sous-marins, dont la Russie est soupçonnée d’être responsable.

RT @John_A_Ridge: This characterization mildly overplays the role of U.S., insofar as the allocation of USAI/FMF funds doesn’t illustrate the complete picture.
Moreover, it’s often uneconomical for Ukraine to procure components from U.S. vendors (relative to Chinese vendors). https://twitter.com/RALee85/status/1880294435541385488#m

23-year-old Belarusian war volunteer Maria Zaitsava was killed in Ukraine
This photo of Maria was taken on August 9, 2020, during the protests in Minsk. Then the girl was wounded by a stun grenade. Maria underwent several surgeries in Belarus, and then she was taken to the Czech Republic for treatment.
When the full-scale war in Ukraine began, the woman went to defend Ukraine.
Maria’s friends confirmed her tragic death to @nashaniva.

RT @JimmySecUK: An incredibly disturbing and apparently genuine video is circulating - which I am not going to share - showing Russian soldiers posing with the decapitated heads of two Ukrainian soldiers impaled on stakes.
The latest act of unmitigated Russian barbarism.

RT @Forsvaret_no: The new M23 uniforms are now in use in Finnmark! "Our people are the most important we have, and they deserve good equipment", says Chief of Defence Eirik Kristoffersen. The Nordic Combat Uniform System provides better comfort and protection, and is adapted to Norwegian nature.
