Such admirable courage in Ukraine:As part of the constant dialogue, I had another conversation with @POTUS. The agenda included the issues of security, financial support for Ukraine and the continuation of sanctions against Russia.

People asked in the Mud and Truck maintenance threads earlier what the Ukrainians could do to make the rasputisa mud worse.

They opened the Kyiv reservoir to accomplish just that.

A tweet thread on why we are almost certainly overestimating the amount of strength the Russian Army has on hand, and the amount they can actually get to Ukraine when their first force losses get so high that it starts becoming combat ineffective. Yes, its logistics. @BoringWar

Options for helping Ukraine are limited, but Biden is working as hard as he can to find some:The West’s measures have triggered chaos in Russia’s $1.6trn economy.

The deal would require White House approval and congressional action, U.S. officials said
