Dear Readers,
Please become a paid subscriber. Ten dollars a month. For that you get one piece of serious journalism every day plus the Daily Notebook of mil-tech and geopolitical news.
If you’re already a paid subscriber, thank you! There are bills to pay to keep this operation going—including UFN’s work to connect the most effective people working for victory—and you help make it work. You can also send a one-month gift subscription to a friend.
By paying for a subscription here, you’ll be keeping our team—Niko, Blacksmith, Whitesmith, Dmytro, Ferdinand, our contributors, and me—doing this work through whatever hell Russia tries to throw at Ukraine and the free world in the coming months.
Tonight is Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, which closes the ten days that began with Rosh Hashanah. It is a day for looking honestly at the year behind you before asking anything of the year ahead. Our team has taken the past week to assess the effectiveness of our work.
To our Jewish readers, in Ukraine and everywhere: g’mar chatimah tovah—“may you be sealed for good.”
Those who support Ukraine in any way—kinetically, morally, prayerfully; by soldiering, by buying drones, by innovating, by volunteering, by protesting, by talking, by gathering info, by cooking, by engineering weapons, by firing weapons, by healing the physically and mentally wounded, by advocating and persuading, by encouraging, by refusing to surrender, by being ready—are all part of the Resistance.
You all will be able to look back on this terrible trial and know that you did not sit on the sidelines. You joined the global Resistance.
**We today ask those of you who appreciate our information work to **give us a boost.
And know this: As bleak as it gets, with Kyiv getting bombed day and night, with the once-safe Ukrainian railways now under frequent fire, Ukrainians with innovation and tenacity are still making progress in ways we will only hear about later. When you see bad headlines and horrible news, remember that Ukrainian warriors are continuing with what soldier friends of UFN call “Russian removal.” It’s happening. We can all help make it happen faster.
Yours sincerely,
JP
PS Soon you will see in my writing why I am in Albania at the moment.
