Russian troops knew they were losing the battle of Kyiv, so they decided to punish defenceless residents of nearby suburbs instead.
Will world leaders have courage to look at pictures from Bucha and actually do something about it?
Was it just Putin who carried out the killings?
Full-scale invasion and national resilience, broadcasted live.

Russia’s genocide pretext exposed by Kyiv suburbs killings and Mariupol
Russia have been using the genocide narrative as a pretext for its war on Ukraine. Pictures of dead men with hands behind back, raped and killed women, coming from Kyiv suburbs show what a modern-era genocide looks like. And we haven't even counted the dead of Mariupol.

US and NATO provide billions in equipment to Ukraine
I'll only finish by saying the US Government has given $2.5 B worth of equipment to UKR, and NATO has given much, too. And there's even more than most know about. And lots of smart people have determined what's best to get to them…and it has helped tremendously. 23/23

Poland providing MIGs to Ukraine: complexities of close air support

Ukrainian T72 expertise and swap logistics concern
The UKR tankers know the T72 well…as they've even used to build this tank in Ukraine for the Soviet Army in the old days. So the potential of a tank "swap" with other nations providing T72s is a good idea…my only concern is how to get them onto the battlefield. 14/

M1A1 support challenges; considering T72 for Ukraine
While UKR tankers could certainly "man" the M1A1, they would have difficulty supporting it with mechanics, fuel, parts. And the costs would be astronomical. So, what about the T72? 11/

M1 Abrams best tank in world, UKR tankers could learn in days
Let me start with the M1Abrams tank (since I'm a tanker). It's a great piece of kit. In my view the best in the world. And UKR tankers could spin up within a few days on that system. 7/
