When your commanders tell you to switch into civilian clothes and just try to get out, that sure sounds like... a rout.
A rout. R-O-U-T.
RT @wartranslated: Russian fighter who was previously in Kherson, "13th", is in panic mode, saying... just watch for yourself.

good thread:
RT @TheStudyofWar: The battle of #Kherson is not over, but Russian forces have entered a new phase—prioritizing withdrawing their forces across the river in good order and delaying Ukrainian forces, rather than seeking to halt the Ukrainian counteroffensive entirely. /1 https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-november-9

Another excellent, well-reasoned analytic thread from Gen Mick Ryan, aka @WarintheFuture
RT @WarintheFuture: More information is emerging about the Russian withdrawal from West Bank of the Dniepr River in #Ukraine. This will have a range of impacts on the war. 1/25 🧵

RT @peedutuisk: A copy of St Nicholas church of Tallinn, Estonia 🇪🇪 has appeared in Dongguan, China 🇨🇳. 🙃 Last pic shows the real one.

RT @GlebYarovoy: A so-called "Export support center of the Karelian Republic" (official government body) published a Map of Sovereign Republic of Karelia. There is also a Petrograd republic neighboring Karelia. What did they want to say with this?
UPD: the map was deleted, but Google remembers!

You’ve got to give him credit for setting an example.
RT @A_SHEKH0VTS0V: Russian priest Mikhail Vasilyev, who had suggested to Russian mothers to give birth to more children so they would not be afraid to send their adult sons to #Russia's war against #Ukraine, was just killed in Ukraine.

What’s with the red berets in the audience, @JuliaDavisNews? Do they need convincing?
RT @JuliaDavisNews: Meanwhile in Russia: top propagandist Vladimir Solovyov was dispatched to address the youth. He lied up a storm, mixed trash talk with biblical references & veiled nuclear threats & told the young to get ready to march to the front as soon as they're old enough. Watch this mess:

Do read this thread. This is what the mobiks experience in Ukraine.
In any other army they would be mutinying.
And even they soon will be. It’s 1917 all over again.
RT @ChrisO_wiki: 1/ Mobilised men of the Russian 4th Guards Tank Division are sheltering in an abandoned house in Svatove without food or water after fleeing from the front line under intense Ukrainian fire that killed their commander. They are now being threatened …

“Nut Bar” is just Deutsch for “I’m part of the black economy and not paying taxes”.
Also:

RT @irgarner: All the usual pomp and ritual as Russia installs the flags of the newly occupied Ukrainian territories in its Senate buildings.
Perform it, film it, share it, make it real: Russian propaganda 101.

The twitter users' union boss drives some hard (collective) bargaining.
The real question, though, is if without blue checks Twitter can't make money, why buy it in the first place?

Before you all start in on Sobchak as some kind of anti-war opposition figure, watch this.
Just another celebrity opportunist.
RT @NanaSajaia: This is the Russian entitlement in action. Russian socialite/influencer #Sobchak goes to a bar in Tbilisi and complains about admission rules, namely stating “Slava Ukraini”
She got a history lecture, mind you - NOT in Russian.

A necessary thread:
RT @AMFChina: Frank-Walter Steinmeier was the key architect of Merkel’s failed 🇷🇺 policy. His essay “Verflechtung und Integration” in Internationale Politik (2007) reveals major conceptual flaws. It is also indicative Germany’s inadequate strategic culture. A short 🧵/1 https://internationalepolitik.de/de/verflechtung-und-integration

Absolutely spot on analysis. The one senior German official in the past 20 years who understood Russia while everyone else was Wandel durch Handel-ing. Danke sehr
