I have not seen many videos of Russian helicopters since the first few days I wonder if the Russians are worried about the stingers which is impacting their CasEvac capabilities.

These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.-Thomas Paine

slovakia wanted to send s-300 batteries so they... are sending them. that's it. that's all that has to happen. (well, and of course the arrival of patriot batteries to fill the gap there)

Or they don't want to show large numbers of wounded dying soldiers on TV to their public…

Zelensky interview with Russians transcribed highlights:

NEW: @ZelenskyyUa just gave a remarkable interview to Russian independent journalists from @meduzaproject @kommersant @novaya_gazeta & @tvraine, who defied Russian government orders not to release it.

Here are some highlights in English. 👇🏼🧵1/https://t.co/dB4BCHO1dw
— Natalia Krapiva 👩🏻‍💻🕊 (@natynettle) March 27, 2022

3/ Zelensky says that he is “99.9% certain” that Russian leadership was told by pro-Russian political forces in Ukraine that Ukrainian people were awaiting Russian forces with “flowers and smiles” and that Zelensky’s government was widely unpopular.
— Natalia Krapiva 👩🏻‍💻🕊 (@natynettle) March 27, 2022

5/ Zelensky gets very emotional as he is saying that even cats & dogs get better treatment after they die than killed Russian soldiers who Russian government is refusing to acknowledge & instead is offering “trash bags” to Ukraine. “They are not just cattle,” says Zelensky.
— Natalia Krapiva 👩🏻‍💻🕊 (@natynettle) March 27, 2022

7/ Despite this, Zelensky says he doesn’t know if Ukrainian people will ever be able to forgive & restore their relationship with Russian people. If the war continues, every single Ukrainian will have someone in their family as a victim of Russian aggression.
— Natalia Krapiva 👩🏻‍💻🕊 (@natynettle) March 27, 2022

9/ Paraphrasing Zelensky: The Russian people aren’t somehow our enemy just because they haven’t overthrown #Putin. But each Russian has a responsibility to speak out about the invasion, even if it's just to 1 other person.
— Natalia Krapiva 👩🏻‍💻🕊 (@natynettle) March 27, 2022

11/ Zelensky says Russian forces should return to pre Feb 24 positions as a compromise & then talks about Donbas should continue.

Then he makes an interesting hint: Whomever Ukrainians elect next will be younger & less accommodating. So #Putin shouldn’t slow-walk negotiations.
— Natalia Krapiva 👩🏻‍💻🕊 (@natynettle) March 27, 2022

13/ Two typos above:
(Tweet 1) handle for TV Rain is @tvrain
(Tweet 4) journalist who asked about Russian casualties is @zygaro not Dzyadko.

Risks of live-ish tweeting!

That tweet doesn't make sense, at least out of context. That city is very much still occupied.

I think the "temporarily" is making it clear that they aren't conceding the city. Russian occupation is only temporary because the Ukrainians plan on taking it back.

Still not looking good for Mariupol.

NEW: Russia has gained ground near Mariupol in southern Ukraine over the past 24 hours, but there has been “no significant change” with 🇷🇺 still facing logistical shortages, a lack of momentum and morale, and stiff 🇺🇦 resistance: UK Defense Intelligence
— Jack Detsch (@JackDetsch) March 28, 2022

⚡️ Mariupol authorities estimate that about 160,000 people are left in besieged Mariupol, out of the pre-war population of over 400,000.

All of them need to be evacuated from the city due to the deepening humanitarian crisis, Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boychenko said on March 28.

Assuming 100 ft/vehicle footprint ... that's a convoy 38 miles long.

Yes, that's him. I'm apprehensive about the story getting out because I don't want him to become some sort of example for Russia. But hopefully the light being shined on a kidnapped US citizen will help expedite his return. Its been a week now and the longer it goes on, the more concerned I get.

Great news to report - my BIL was released overnight after a 9 day unlawful arrest and is home safe with his family. Their next challenge is to find a way to get to a safer city or entirely out of the country.

Mariupol's fate was sealed the minute Russian forces cut the last road out. The only question was how long it will take.

It seems the defenders have been split into two pockets- one in an industrial sector and one in the Azovstal steel plant.

It's summarized in the thread, and I included the unroll for you if you don't have a twitter account.
But essentially Nokia was one of the companies that pulled out and condemned Russia over the last month. In reality, they've had a major role in getting Russia to the surveillance state that it is today.
