▫️ The armies of Ukraine and Turkiye are stronger than russia’s, from control of the Black Sea to control of the airspace.
▫️ A window of opportunity has now opened to improve bilateral relations between Ukraine and Hungary.
▫️ “We stand where we stand” is the fastest format to end the war today.
▫️ putin definitely faces serious economic problems, and a $100 billion deficit will not be covered by this short war in the Middle East.
▫️ Ukraine is working on developing its own anti-ballistic system in cooperation with European partners.
▫️ Ukraine already has around 200 defense companies, about 30 of which are high-level.
