Militants of the so-called "DPR" [self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic] abducted and "will judge" three foreigners who are allegedly facing the death penalty.
Source: the so-called "General Prosecutor's Office of the "DPR" [self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic]
Details: The militants say they have completed a "criminal investigation" of three foreigners - the British citizens Sean Pinner and Andrew Hill, as well as a citizen of the Kingdom of Morocco, Saadun Brahim.
According to the occupiers, "three men took part in Ukraine's armed aggression for a fee to seize power in the DPR".
The first "court hearing" will take place in the near future.
The militants write that three foreigners "may be sentenced to an exceptional measure - the death penalty."

Two in one day? Could have both been in the same HQ….
A number of sources report that the commander of the 29th combined-arms army of Russia, General Roman Berdnikov, was killed in Ukraine

Useful extra attrition. Perhaps if they all went home such personal tragedies wouldn’t happen. For thousands of oeople on both sides of this tragic farce.

Interesting view of a drone takedown from the Ukrainian drone itself

Counter battery takes out TOS system in front of the Russian press.

'Kay, so....
a ground attack aircraft got downed, and therefore it is not survivable to be in the airspace... but this guy needed his O2 mask to be firmly affixed, He may have been doing a popup, which would seem to be a career-limiting technique. Hopefully, the driver was another 63-year-old General, with Russia's demographics they can ill afford to lose many more youngsters, although kidnapping 200,000 children should help them with their numbers. Does happen to be a specified war crime though.
There are some planes that are set up to make audience-pleasing noises at low level, but they might have to dodge some tank turrets that go into L.E.O.

Russian sentiment towards the War in Ukraine is changing
I wanted to express something that’s been brewing in my head the past couple of days and culminated today in a fairly specific thought which came to my mind as I was skimming my usual bookmarks in search for fresh translation material to share with you.
In the past week or so, I started sensing a certain change in the moods of comms I’m reading in various Russian sources, most of which are very close to the frontline, many being separatist militias, others – regular Russian war correspondents, rest – external observes with certain experience or involvement in the conflict.
It is as if the Russians (those with a bit of a brain, not the TV-watching “Z”ombies) are beginning to realise what sort of a ****hole they got themselves into now that so little has been achieved by one of the strongest armies in the world, and so much has already been lost, mainly in terms of human casualties….
The “stages of grief” graph inevitably comes to my mind though I’m struggling to put down exactly where the Russians are right now. Something tells me they are still in “pre-denial” and far worse is yet to come. We shall see, but I think I can feel the tremor of the first shocks of an earthquake shaking the ground under the feet of invaders and their informational “army”.

Except that they all seem to sense approaching danger.
The only word of Russian that I understood was the reporter’s ‘thermobaric’.
