NEW: Data on Russian forces’ rate of advance indicates that a Russian military victory in Ukraine is not inevitable, and a rapid Russian seizure of the rest of Donetsk Oblast is not imminent. Russian advances elsewhere on the frontline have been opportunistic and exploited seasonal weather. ⬇️🧵

Neoliberal approach is to avoid corporate responsibility and #BlameTheConsumer
So sick of this 'buyer beware' rubbish. Just make sure Meta and other platforms take responsibility for their advertisers.
