🧵I’m in #Warsaw for @Defence24Day—an important platform for security and defense professionals, organized by @Defence24pl. Each time I visit the Eastern flank (Finland, the Baltics, Poland, etc.) it’s clear that gov’ts here recognize the urgency of the threat from Russia. 1/7
As I travel West, away from @NATO’s frontier, security optics changes. In Berlin the conversation tends to refocus on economic & humanitarian questions, and defaults to the normative aspect of RUS invasion, i.e., violating the principle that borders can’t be changed by force.2/7
In Paris geopolitics reasserts itself, but with a Southern azimuth, pointing to Med and Africa. As in Berlin, economic, humanitarians and normative issues provide the context for the conversation, with a clear undertone that we need to get to a negotiated solution in #Ukraine.3/7
29.04.1943 | A small Dutch-speaking community in Orange City, Iowa (USA), published #OTD a detailed article in their newspaper, De Volksvriend, just 10 days after the outbreak of the #Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943: "The Extermination of the Jews in Poland". Thread👇🏼/1 
Despite being over 7,800 km away from Poland, this article, titled "The Extermination of the Jews in Poland," exposed the atrocities committed by Hitler and the SS. Read the shocking account of the Lublin evacuations, the formation of ghettos, and the Aktion Reinhard camps. /2

Day 362 of #Russia's illegal war in #Ukraine, so almost a year.
But many of the problems the free world face now is because of inaction almost a decade ago.
A bigger anniversary is today it's exactly 9 years since #Russia invaded #Crimea. Putin even gave medals showing the date

The Saxon Palace was one of the most distinctive buildings in prewar #Warsaw. It was destroyed by Germans in #WWII.

The Palace, erected as a result of the expansion of the 17th-century palace of Jan Andrzej Morsztyn (a leading poet of the Polish Baroque), was rebuilt many times in the following centuries. During the Second Polish Republic, it was the seat of the General Staff of the 🇵🇱 Army.
After the destruction of the Palace by 🇩🇪, the only trace of it that remained was a fragment of the 3 central arcades with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier–a symbolic grave commemorating the nameless soldiers who died in the defense of 🇵🇱”

No major movements on the map since my last update.
The only notable news is the reported entrance of Rus forces in Vovcherovka, 7 - 8 km south of #Lisichansk
The photos are reportedly from there but it's not known currently whether it's cleared completely

Another interesting detail is that 2 small settlements Sinetski & Pavlograd (just across the river from #Lisichansk) are in the gray zone on the map.
The Rus probably haven't entered them likely due to being exposed to Ukr fire from the other bank

Today in #Warsaw I had the honor of meeting @GreenRoadsFund, a Ukrainian civilian-led supply chain network personally delivering aid to towns where big orgs won’t go. They are as local & knowledgeable as it gets. If you want to donate somewhere, do it here fundacjagreenroads.pl/en
Saw first hand their logistics capacity, insight on what is needed where, accountability & efficiency based on their own local contacts. We carried those bags ($700 worth of med supplies) from Romania to Poland & I know they will get it across the border into the right hands 🇺🇦🙏🏻
Thank you @diddabee & @shelbyjmag for the connection 💛💙

Picture from social media
"US commitment to [NATO] Article 5 is iron-clad," says @VP Kamala Harris now speaking live from Poland alongside @AndrzejDuda. Desperately hoping that US intelligence hasn't picked up that there are already Russian plans to invade other countries. #Ukraine #Kyiv #Warsaw
When asked about air defences and airpower, especially regarding the Polish offer to supply Ukraine, @VP Harris lists all that the US has done to date, but doesn't answer that question. It's being asked again, but she evades it a second time. #Kyiv #Warsaw #Poland
Ukraine can reach out to anyone as well as NATO for assistance, @AndrzejDuda says, but also doesn't really answer the question. Instead says that NATO is responsible for the security of its members. "We don't want to endanger NATO," he says. Now speaking about the plane proposal.

It’s a good idea to provide Ukraine 🇺🇦 with #MiG-29 fighters - they will limit Russia 🇷🇺 bombing innocent civilians.
The decision should not be made in #Warsaw alone - the responsibility lies with #NATO as a whole.
What would it take to get Ukraine those #MIGs? Short 🧵

Supplying Ukraine with #Mig29 will likely be seen by Russia as a significant step up in military help for Ukraine. Russia threatened unspecified retaliation. No one NATO country should be put under pressure to do it alone.

In order to do it well, we need to do it together - as #NATO. All Allies should be heard, and all Allies should stand behind this decision.
