    LYMAN: Ongoing/Recent Multiple Russian assaults repelled near Drobysheve, Novoselivka, Yarova, Yampil, and Ozerne. Ukrainian forces conducted counter-attacks, clearing infiltrators northwest of Lyman. Strikes on Russian positions and logistics reported daily.

    BURN RATE: Russia has become the largest weapons supplier to Ukraine. 320 tanks have been transfered to UKR by the west-- an additional 421 were abandoned by RU and placed into UKR service. IFVs, 210 from the west, 445 from RU, armored vehicles, 40 from the west, and 192 from RU.

    TRAINING DAY: Ukraine targeted a Russian locomotive hauling a column of tanks and armored vehicles. After disabling the locomotive, UKR drones swarmed the flat cars, destroying 13 main battle tanks.

    IN THE NORWEGIAN WAY: Without fanfare, Norway reveals that it delivered 20 upgraded M109/A3GN 155mm self-propelled howitzers to Ukraine. Oslo made the announcement days AFTER these weapons entered service with Ukrainian forces. Norway's M109/A3GNs are on the front lines now.

    TAKEN: Yesterday, videos featured a RU officer captured on the Kharkiv front. He was assumed to be a local commander-- he was, in fact, Lieutenant General Andrei Sychevoi, General in command RU’s “West” Group. Sychevoi is the most senior Russian officer captured since WW II.
    Seems the orc that was shown in the video on his knees is Lieutenant General Andrei Sychevoi (Андрей Сычевой) commander of the "West" group. He changed into lieutenant uniform and attempted to escape unrecognized (that's why he looks away from the camera) #kherson #lviv #Крим

    IT’S OURS NOW: Finland has 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 the Russian-linked tanker 𝘌𝘢𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘚 which deliberately dragged anchor to cut key undersea cables. The ship was carrying sanctioned petroleum products and what has been determined to be Russian spy equipment.

    IT BEGINS: The Moscow Times reports that after the collapse of the Kharkiv front, Putin retreated to his Sochi mansion and cancelled meetings with his military staff. In other news: the Kremlin announces referendums on the annexation of UKR territories have been cancelled.

    Replying to @realDonaldTrump
    Mr President: I am a SEAL who served as an assault element commander at SEAL Team Six. Twice in my life of service I have been embarrassed for my country. Once, when I dug bodies out the rubble of the Marine Barracks in Beirut. And this morning, when you abandoned the Kurds.

    SELECTIVE MEMORY: Putin whines that US troops remained in Germany after WW II. He forgot to mention that 338,000 Soviet soldiers with 4,200 tanks, 8,200 armored vehicles and 3,600 artillery pieces occupied East Germany for 46 years. Odd, because Putin served there as a KGB agent.

    Russian dictator Putin has said that US "occupation troops" are allegedly still in Germany since 1945. As Putin claims, German politicians themselves allegedly say that after World War II, Germany "has never been a sovereign state in the full sense of the word".

    LYMAN FALLING: RU sources: /Translation/ "If [Russian] groupings in Lyman are destroyed, [our] occupying units will not have enough strength to organize a defense of Kreminna and Svatove”. In short: the imminent collapse of the entire front. censor.net/en/n3370645

    IT BEGINS: 2,000 Russian troops along with some 300 speedboats have been assembled in Kherson. Intel reports that Russian commanders have mutinied and are refusing to commit their forces in a suicidal attempt to cross the Dnipro river. msn.com/en-us/news/wor…

    THANK OSLO! Using one of its C-17 aircraft, the Norwegian Armed Forces (Forsvaret) has delivered ten thousand 155mm artillery shells to Ukraine. Some will be fired by the M109 self propelled guns Norway previously supplied to Ukraine. TAKK NORGE!
    On behalf of the government, the Norwegian Armed Forces have sent 10,000 artillery shells to #Ukraine. The materiel is now in Ukraine. The artillery shells can be used in several types of artillery fire, including in the M109, which #Norway has donated in the past. #globemaster

    THIS IS THE ENEMY: The Russian embassy in London has posted a tweet urging the execution of Ukrainian Prisoners of War. As a response, a first step should be declaring the RU embassy's Press Secretary Persona Non Grata and escorting them to Heathrow airport.

    BLOWBACK: Invading UKR was RU's biggest strategic disaster in the last 100 years. Putin has destroyed his army, revitalized & expanded NATO and left Russia teetering on the brink of military, economic & geopolitical disaster. And worse is to come. share.america.gov/blinken-russia…
