Russian forces are building a net tunnel over the road to protect their supply vehicles — Ukrainian drone operators already know how they will tackle it.
We were warned that this day was coming. We, like the Europeans, just hoped it wouldn't. My new piece on the implications for Pacific security of last week's geopolitical earthquake in Europe.
Ukraine's constitution doesn't allow elections during times of martial law so Zelensky remains president until such time as they can be held.
In other words, as long as Russia maintains it's unlawful occupation of parts of Ukraine Zelensky remains the legitimate president. And while some rulers may declare an emergency to try and retain power I think everyone here can agree that this is a pretty legitimate state of emergency.
....AND how do you hold an election while public spaces and buildings are being actively targeted? A substantial number of the electorate are hostage in Russian occupied Ukraine. A substantial number of the electorate are hunkered down in trenches, on maneuver or observing op-sec in general.
