    Remember “The leader of the party is here. The head of the presidential administration is here, Prime Minister Shmyhal is here, Podolyak is here, the president is here. We are all here, the soldiers are here, the citizens of the country are here.”?

    I remember going to sleep expecting to wake up in the morning and learn the guy had been killed or captured, and the Russians had taken Kyiv.

    Shit was wild. There’s a reason the eastern front line hasn’t budged, with them outnumbered the whole time and outgunned by 10:1 for as long as it took to finish the first Gulf War.
