I’ve been advising a withdrawal from Bakhmut for over a month so those forces can be deployed elsewhere for a winter counter-offensive. Russia is using #Bakhmut to keep Ukraine on the defensive while rebuilding the Russian military. #StandWithUkraine https://t.co/Kmo5GHUFRn — PolitiTweet.org

This would normally be front page news. Identical to terrorist attacks around the world that are condemned by every government. Yet when Russia does this to Dnipro, it’s just called war… #StandWithUkraine #Ukraine #Russia #Dnipro https://t.co/fkk3c0qxiU — PolitiTweet.org

We'll know within 24 hours if Ukraine imploded the entrances to the salt mines in Soledar before withdrawing. Let's hope so. #StandWithUkraine #UkraineWillWin #Ukraine #Soledar — PolitiTweet.org

Ukraine needs to implode the entrances to the salt mines in Soledar now. It should have been done weeks ago. If Wagner captures those 200km of tunnels, Russia will have a logistical hub underground that can't be destroyed by Himars. #StandWithUkraine #UkraineWillWin #Soledar — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew VanDyke @Matt_VanDyke

#UkraineWillWin, but how much of Ukraine is liberated depends on an aggressive Ukrainian counter-offensive before spring. This war is at a tipping point and unless changes are made now, spring will be hell. The questions in this thread need answers. #StandWithUkraine (5/5) — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew VanDyke @Matt_VanDyke

A defensive strategy won't liberate Ukraine. We need a Ukrainian counter-offensive this winter, not a standoff over Bakhmut. Russia has low morale and isn't prepared for winter. The weakest it'll ever be. This spring Russia will fix issues and bring a much larger force... (4/5) — PolitiTweet.org

3. Why have so many courageous Ukrainian soldiers been sacrificed trying to hold Bakhmut, while Russia mostly loses Wagner's criminals and mercs, instead of redeploying these Ukrainian units for a counter-offensive this winter when Russia is the weakest it'll ever be? (3/5) — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew VanDyke @Matt_VanDyke

These questions need answers: 1. Why hasn't Ukraine imploded the entrances to the salt mines before Soledar is lost? 2. Why was Russia allowed to withdraw 20,000 soldiers from Kherson, across a river, without artillery destroying them? (2/5) #StandWithUkraine #UkraineWillWin — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew VanDyke @Matt_VanDyke

Some won't like this, but my responsibility isn't to be a cheerleader, it's to train Ukrainian soldiers and give informed analysis based on years of experience in war. I live in Ukraine. I'll defend it with my life. For the good of Ukraine, some things need to be said... (1/5) — PolitiTweet.org

I accepted a challenge to debate Scott Ritter on @Judgenap's podcast. @RealScottRitter's armchair analysis tells him Russia will win. Living in Ukraine and training its soldiers tells me #UkraineWillWin. Challenge accepted around 14:25 in this video. https://t.co/35DG31AZMT — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew VanDyke @Matt_VanDyke

Soledar has 200km of salt mine tunnels hundreds of meters deep. Unfortunately, Himars cannot destroy this logistical hub. #Ukraine should have imploded all mine entrances weeks ago, but didn't. Ukraine must regain control of mines and implode all entrances. #StandWithUkraine — PolitiTweet.org

Two years since one of the darkest days in American history. Two years and those responsible for leading an insurrection against our country still walk free, some even serving in Congress. Two years is justice delayed, which is justice denied. #Jan6 #Jan6th #Jan6thInsurrection https://t.co/qFvgWZyPeY — PolitiTweet.org

I was on @Judgenap's podcast yesterday: "It's really quite shocking how effective Ukrainian air defense is, and when the Patriot systems are brought online... it's going to make Russia's terror campaign against infrastructure largely irrelevant." #StandWithUkraine #Ukraine — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew VanDyke @Matt_VanDyke

#Russia is now the weakest it'll ever be. #Ukraine needs an offensive now, before spring. Whether Ukraine launches a winter offensive before Russia can rebuild and resupply its forces will determine how much of Ukraine is eventually liberated. #StandWithUkraine #UkraineWillWin — PolitiTweet.org

This is the sound that wakes you up at night here in Ukraine. Air defense firing at Russian missiles and drones. To Ukrainian children, cats, and dogs this sounds terrifying, like the world is ending. Filmed a few minutes ago in #Kyiv. #StandWithUkraine #Ukraine https://t.co/fCRo4qBONX — PolitiTweet.org
