If Russia, which should have a big military advantage on paper, is failing during ideal weather conditions due to massive logistical and organizational problems, how does increasing the logistical burden with winter weather then increase the advantage that they have over Ukraine?

Russia has taken over 4.8 million Ukrainians into Russia, including 714,000 children. Many were forced at gunpoint, tricked or coerced. Mass deportations are a crime against humanity. Forcible transfer of children is defined as genocide as per Rome Statute.

Russia just updated their numbers yesterday. The number of people taken from Ukraine into Russia is now over 5 million, including 721,000 children.
These are Russian claims. The Ukrainian project childrenofwar.gov.ua has the documented proof of child removals.

Of course, we in the Central Europe know, what the russians do, they did it just since forever. Stealing children, committing genocide and deporting people is is the only thing russia is good at. If you want a genocide, just pust your defences down, and they will pay you a visit

The most under-reported and vile part of the war is the kidnapping of millions of Ukrainians to Russia. They are not "refugees" who just "arrived" like Russian media wants people to think.
Ethnocide. Genocide. Kidnapping.

When will the world call for the peaceful return of any & all Ukrainians taken from their homeland? When will we demand that stolen children be given back?

It's frustrating to see how 'good Russians' with imperialistic mindset who fled abroad are occupying more and more space in the media/cultural scene, while Ukrainians are heard less and less because they simply have no electricity/mobile/internet connection due to Russian attacks

FACT: “Conservatives” were never banned from Twitter.
Folks who threatened people’s lives, spread dangerous COVID disinfo, plotted insurrections, and spread Nazi messages were.
The fact that these two groups overlap is an indictment of your movement—but not proof of bias.

Just the opposite. You are presuming there will be a balance in perspective among blue checks. I would bet against that. My guess is the blue checks lean pro-elon and will use the impact of blocks, mutes and likes to create intentional echo chambers that reflect Elon’s positions

Taylor Lorenz's account was suspended after tweeting at asking for comment. Here is what she has to say: "Cancel culture has gone too far. I think the way that musk is arbitrarily banning anyone who he personally doesn’t like has dangerous consequences for free speech.

I will choose Cape Town South Africa, in the following example.
It is 10138 km flight distance from Cape Town to Moscow, 15 hr 31 min flying time.
From Mariupol to Vladivostok by bus and train, it is 7 days and 7 hours. Distance by road 9 513 km. Time by car 129 hours.

Aide to Mariupol mayor Petro Andryushchenko has published a series of photos of the city residents forcefully taken to the Russian faraway city of Vladivostok, urging their relatives to get in touch with authorities.
Sharing just one photo of a girl crying at a train station.

A significant % of Ukrainians who went to 🇷🇺 after Feb 24, did not go willingly. Many wanted to go to an area under UA govt control or an area under 🇷🇺 occupation less dangerous than were they were, but were told either Russia or stay where you are. researched this.

It is very easy to tell who is the aggressor - by looking at where Ukrainians mostly seek safety and refuge.
