Is Ukraine about to have a war?
This shows Ukrainian hackers are very neat and apparently effective.

"Bridge catches fire and collapses after railway worker lights up a cigarette"
Russian train bridges are known for self collapsing under the mental burdeon of carrying ammunition trains. Which then again are known to commit suicide by spontaneous combustion due to smoking cigarrettes. It's a long way from NK border to Ukraine and it is highly likely there will be mentally unstable bridges and trains along the way.
Actually, you may have a point. Checking FR I have noticed the odd flight heading south as if going to overfly eastern Ukraine and then suddenly jump to the now usual route well east of that. I'm no FR expert but it may have something to do with predicted flightpath. Maybe DR can help us with that.
There are about 70 round trips per day between Moscow (SVO/DME/VKO) and Sochi. A random sample of a few shows them all routeing via the Caspian Sea, going nowhere near Ukraine.

Why have Russia's non-Russian ethnic minorities joined the Russian army in large numbers to fight in Putin's wars? A fascinating and sad interview of a reindeer herder turned contract soldier helps to explain. A 🧵 giving the wider context of the interview.
There are reports on social media today (both Ukrainian armed forces and Russian channels) that Ukraine is now on the offensive in both Kherson and SE Kharkiv and have made significant territorial gains on both fronts. Whether opportunistic or not, this looks to be a much wider operation than was previously suggested. Possibly the focus on Russian logistics is starting to have a substantial impact on the battlefield. Early days, but this is starting to look like very good news!

Reports of a major breakthrough by UKR at a major rail junction north of Izium. LDR conscript troops folding and retreating in disarray. Could cut all major resupply to the front line.

If this is true, it is vile beyond belief. The persons responsible can only be looking at fulfilling a quota and being praised/getting a bonus/avoiding the chop. How likely is such a patient to make a good soldier ? Is it not much more likely that other Russians fighting will be appalled , and frightened, if they believe that this is the level to which the Red Army has sunk ?
