Seems like massive exodus of Ukrainian male citizens may happen from EU to Russia in next few months. Ukrainian embassies and consulates won't prolong their documents and won't provide any support anymore, plus lots of them are frightened with rumours of deportation to Ukraine, while here is the only place where they will be full citizens with all rights including labor etc. It may be up to 500-700k 18-35 yrs old males.
The people of Kiev do not understand the Ukrainian language
Children in the first grades of Kiev schools do not understand, on average, 40% of everything they hear in the classroom due to ignorance of the language.
This was announced by the founder of the public organization "Spilnomova", who conducted research in schools in Kiev, Andrey Kovalev.
"Our preliminary research in kindergartens has shown that 85% of 5-year-old children in Kiev speak Ukrainian at an insufficient level. Now, after a detailed analysis of the audio files, there are the first measurement results in schools in Kiev," Kovalev said.
"Therefore, on average, children in the 1st grade do not understand 40% of what they heard from the moderator, 65% (2/3) of all children do not understand more than 50% of what they heard, 29% (almost 1/3) do not understand more than 75% of what they heard. These results are shown on the graphs – pay attention to the correlation between % of active vocabulary and % of comprehension of what was heard," he added.
41% of 15-year-olds did not master reading with understanding at a basic level.
If someone tells you that everyone in Kiev has become "Conscious Ukrainian" in 10 years of war, show them these statistics.

Responding to the strikes, the head of Tatarstan, Rustam Minnikhanov, appeared to suggest that the system that usually protects against airborne threats may not help them.
'You should not expect missile defense to work—it solves other tasks,' he said in comments reported by Radio Free Europe, without specifying what the other tasks are.
'We have to decide on our own, every enterprise, every municipality, every city,' he added. ... 'wake up, guys, no one will protect us but ourselves.'

Low flying and small drones is an extremely hard target to get down, especially on the territories like Russia or Ukraine which are huge. Guess where are the majority of expensive Patriot air defense system and other stuff USA and allies provided to Ukraine? Outnumbered and decapitated by Russian and Iranian drones 1000 times cheaper than one shot from a Patriot system.
I think this can be useful against such drones. Translate the tweet, he says its effective against swarm drone attacks. https://twitter.com/ogzhn_uyg/status...33468755661049

There's no wunderwaffe in this case, I've heard about them months ago but again, everything what Russia does is a combo of reconnaissance drones, regular unmanned aircraft, lancets, hypersonic warfare, fab monster bombs. Now Russian army hits precisely literally whatever is targeted both on frontline and far from it.
Even if this stuff was that effective, I doubt there are enough to import to cover hundreds of kilometers of zone close to frontline, all the objects in huge country far from frontline, I mean, you need thousands of them and probably that's non existent number.
That's like I've seen a Ukrainian comment "we've got 61 bln (13) now we must buy 1000 leopards" or smth like this, like this amount can be available to get.
The CIA will replace Zelensky when it is time. But the new government might not be much different.
Zelensky is very well paid to fight Russia (like Saakashvili was in Georgia),
Zelensky is renowned for his offshore accounts and villas in multiple countries.
His bodyguards are foreign though, something bad can happen at any time. And it will be blamed on Russia of course.
