Ukraine is reporting Starlink outages as they advance, hindering troop communications, various people are having a pop online at Musk, but it appears that the Starlink was deliberately limited in its coverage to prevent Russia being able to utilise it in their captured regions and Ukraine is out running the coverage and not keeping Musks operation updated to allow more areas to be brought on line as they recapture more territory..
It might be one of the reasons they have short pauses, that and resupplying the frontline.

“Putin destroyed the country’s military mobilization resources with his own hands and now this idiot has gotten himself into the war with the entire world,” Votanovsky told The Moscow Times.
“He created circumstances in which we cannot win.”

The helmet from the most modern Russian set "Vatnik"... sorry, "Ratnik", turned out to be a simple old soviet steel helmet.

Whoops. Brown trouser moment close to turn into another Kerch bridge moment.
“No Mr Simpson (BBC) - Biden, this is what is meant by a pre-emptive strike to stop Russia using its battlefield nuclear weapons”.
A challenge to Putin to use TNW; or a message to the generals to say no. Dissidence in command.
Brings the war to the front of Russian media; the significance of a security video identifying the truck. A threat to all Russian people, which bridge, which truck, where in Russia - the one over the Moscow river before Red Square.
Requiring military checks on all road transport into the Crimea for explosives; but isn't most of the transport carrying explosives - that will slow things up.
Concern for all other operations in occupied Ukraine, which bridge, when; logistic snarl-up, apprehensive troops.
“All things in war are simple, but even the simplest is difficult” Clausewitz
Fortuitous road and rail strike, or a well planned and executed operation; whatever - the tactical and strategic value is immense.

Large queues in Crimea to fill up cars, with a dwindling fuel supply you would think they would restrict supplies.
A bit of humanity in all this sh*t

Russian bots are all over the internet gleefully advocating mass nuclear murder, both in Ukraine and the entire world. How could we have allowed a country like Russia to become such an immoral, criminal threat to humanity? The Chinese, Indian and other governments who stood silent must now fear the consequences of their neutrality. It may result in their complete destruction.

As well as pipelines….

Looked at the video again and have to say: I'm pretty sure there is a boat arriving fast just in that second just in that place and just when it arrives - kaboom.
