God fucking dammit Alexander, I was building the Pyramids in that city you asshole!
Putin’s Journal, Day 897 of the Three Day Special Military Operation: we are defending against the second armored drive of the war through our country in the direction of our capital.
Prigozhin’s ghost is following me around the building again. He smells like boiled hot dogs.

Surprisingly, Ukraine invading Russia back is actually something I had thought about, and I’m certain it’s been talked about on one of the NCDs.
It would be absolutely hilarious if they seized a bunch of territory, and used it as a bargaining chip to get their own territory back.
Semi-credibly, I’m watching to see if the offensive pivots east to cut off attackers north of Kharkiv, but it seems like they went over the border along ways away from that area if that was their goal.
Liveuamap has gotten interesting for the first time in over a year.
What could they invade that would be worth more than Crimea? Moscow?
I would say a peninsula for a peninsula: Ukraine should takes Kola Peninsula and the whole russia nuclear arsenal there and trade it for crimea ^^. Admiral Kuznetzov do so much smoke that russia would never see Ukraine army coming :P.
Or - and hear me out - they take Kola Peninsula, don’t trade it for Crimea, and just keep taking Russian territory until all of the Russian logistics fail completely, reclaim all the Russian-occupied territory, and then keep taking more territory
or I have one better: Ukraine takes Kola peninsula, give it to finland in exchange for NATO membership and boom, NATO enter in the war to takes east of russia before the chinese (since the west would in control of Ukraine in order to get the Kola Peninsula) ^^
Tbh it’s far from the worst strategy
If Ukraine were in Civ, what would their special units and abilities be? I’m thinking 50% production costs for anti-tank units and 5% production bonus per city for each trade route to an ally when someone declares war on you.
Some sort of Drone, discount to drones. For each other nation who denounced your enemy10% production cost, -%10 gold cost. When fighting on friendly tiles +10% defense. As there drones are winning the war and their defense against a army 10 times bigger is nuts.
What if putting a drone on an anti-tank unit gives it a ranged attack?
+5 combat strength for units within friendly territory -10% unit cost for each civilisation that denounces a civilisation you are at war with
