Is Ukraine about to have a war?
Yesterday Lukashenko claimed Ukraine was going to attack Belarus, so we can expect another maskirovska event at the hands of the FSB and Putin. That should be interesting, the Belarus citizens are around 85% fed up with Russia and Lukashenko. When he orders his troops forward, what direction will the troops advance? I would not bet against them going into Minsk and removing Lukashenko. Belarussians are in the war already, on the Ukraine side. Perhaps Lukashenko didn't get that memo?

The power supply, via sub-sea cable from Sweden to the Danish island of Bornholm was ruptured this morning. Sabotage ? If so, guess by whom...
both do break on a regular basis around the world due to many causes
(subsea avalanches, ships dragging anchors etc..) so might be a bit premature
to jump to conclusions at this stage.

Timing is a bit suspicious of course but subsea cables, whether optical or HV or hybrids of

The problem I can see is if the gas pipelines were ruptured with explosive, they could easily have been on a timer or remotely detonated, then why would you simply stop there knowing that once detected the security would be tightened up, surely if you were going to plant charges undetected you would also plant they on other systems at the same time, i.e internet cables power supplies etc. indeed they could have been prepared pre war for all we know.

Local sources report that one of the Russian Navy's main warehouses has been set on fire.
Arsenal No. 6, is located near the village of Burmakino, Yaroslavl Oblast. This is one of the most important warehouses owned by the Ministry of Defense.

One really wonders: GPS disturbed? GLONASS so bad? Run out of High- Tech components? Bad build quality? All of it?
It is just one video. Of just one event. And still it tells A LOT (besides targetting civillian/urban areas in general). When will they finally realise that they are destined up sh*t creek - without a paddle. What's the miracle they are waiting for?! The miracle for Ukraine is clear: More an better systems (IRIS-T) going to arrive (sadly not as quickly as one would love to).

Now that's a near miss: "Russian missile strike misses a pedestrian bridge in Kyiv this morning" https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFoota...eb2x&context=3

When Kyiv is specifically requesting twitter users not to post images/videos which will identify precise time and place of missiles arriving , it is disappointing to see publicity eager posters doing exactly that. (Read history about how 3rd Reich were misled about V1 targeting).

However, this is just one system, more is urgently needed.

I bet this concentrates the mind, driving between mines!
