I am no military expert, and I defer to military experts on the specifics, like the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense that makes specific asks on Twitter.

My expertise is getting people out into the streets of Moscow. But this military angle is unavoidable. And I see the political aspects of it. This is what I see.

Putin is not trying to liberate anybody. Pay attention. He is busy destroying Donbas. He does not speak for the ethnic Russians in Moscow. Hell, he does not speak for the ethnic Russians in Donbas.

Feed him your finger, he will eat your hand. That is the nature of the beast. If you want peace in Estonia, fight in Donbas. And if you can’t then support the good people who are putting up the good fight. Ukraine fights for the world.

Putin is in survival mode in Donbas. He gets pushed out of Donbas, his regime collapses in Moscow. That is what this is about. A military invasion of Moscow was unthinkable. But a military engagement in Donbas is our daily reality right now. The enemy has made a mistake. The enemy is in Donbas.

If the Ukrainian military can push the Russian forces out of Donbas, fine. If that is not an option, all it needs to do is keep contesting the territory. Because Putin is getting weaker by the day. Time is not his friend.

Navalny depends on the brave people of Ukraine. The Russian Mandela looks to the brave people of Ukraine. The war in Donbas is about liberating Moscow.
