The best I can tell he attempts to remain neutral on reporting. Other than his bio and his tweets I have no other information.
The thread is in German and each tweet must be translated. When I read this thread, not the latests, I get the sense that Ukraine was being radicalized before Russia invaded and now that country is crashed, the radicalization has dramatically accelerated.
In other words, Ukraine has fallen iff the wall and all the kings horses and all the kings men cannot put Ukraine back together again.
I’m not 100% on this, but aren’t the vast majority of neo-Nazi groups in Germany based in the former “East?” If that’s the case, perhaps a Marshall Plan-style rebuilding effort by the EU+US would not only get Ukraine back on its feet more quickly, but pretty much end any hope of Russian meddling in the future?

“They destroyed your buildings and infrastructure, but we built you back up”. Yup, sounds like a winning plan to me.
Putin, Xi and one particular person I cant name here play the, “I am not a fascist, they are the fascist” game.
I think pointing at Ukraine for fascism is a sucker errand.
It is not just totally unnecessary and almost entirely untrue, but it is being used by Putin. It being used by actual fascists. This is not some sort of fog of war. It is clearly planted misinformation. Not because I know the source because what being said is full of it.

Sounds like either defeatism or Russian propaganda. Today I watched a bunch or graphic reports on the war. The destruction is horrifying but the Ukrainian spirit is not broken. The shipment of defensive arms from the West is massive. Let’s not forget that it was American Industry and allied pluck that won WWII. Russia was supplied by LendLease. Now they have to rely on their own crappy economy and soldiers who were lied to – “Expect a cakewalk as liberators.”
Maybe it was the “Nikita” that sounded the alarm…

The German and Japanese Humpy Dumptys were put back together.
Any peace agreement with Russia must include war reparations. Payments for damage caused by the war and for reconstruction. And compensation for the death or injuries to the victims.
