The Finns certainly had no "winter lull" in 1939-40 after Russia invaded them. Why would the Ukrainians?
RT @JimmySecUK: Once again - this talk of a "winter lull" seems to come entirely from people outside of Ukraine. I have never heard anyone in the Ukrainian military talking about pausing their offensive operations for winter.

"Private armies as a phenomenon are an expression of a state power in dissolution and decay. The warlords eventually take over. Putin is blowing up Russia."

Quite the tweet.
If it is from a legitimate Twitter account.
RT @AnnCoulter: To Trump:
You had your chance, with a Republican House and Senate. You handed domestic policy to your son-in-law and Gary Cohn. You handed foreign policy to your son-in-law and a country that gave your son-in-law $2 billion.
Shut the fuck up, forever.

Good question.
RT @SlavaMalamud: Z-Channel on Telegram: "Kherson met us with protests. Yet they meet the Ukrainian army with flowers. So what was it that our boys gave their lives for?"
You know, my dude, it's probably high time you've learned about Putin's palaces and yachts, but are you sure you're ready?

RT @mhmck: Most of the Russian occupiers stationed on the right bank of the Dnipro are still there. This force was estimated to be about 20,000. The Russians are trapped on the wrong side of destroyed bridges and crossings they no longer control.
The scale of Ukraine's victory is massive.
