Putin thought that Kyiv would fall.
He thought that he could use this winter to conquer Ukraine.
He thought that Europe would freeze in the dark.
And he thought that NATO would fracture.
But he was wrong.
The Ukrainian flag continues to fly.

.@SecDef: Countries around the 🌎 have rallied behind some clear 1st principles. Countries don’t get to invade their peaceful neighbors. Autocrats don’t get to redraw borders by force & the imperial ambitions of bullies don’t outweigh the sovereign rights of UN member states.
