Is Ukraine about to have a war?
Fire engines? Maybe they’re expecting some fires?
from the Special Kherson Cat! twitter verse.
Kind of sums up Russia neatly in a single Lego kit.
Would be sympathetic, if they were on their own soil having some group as disgraceful as Russia attacking their children and families.
If the professional army has left and only the unfortunates remain, why are they not taking up the hospitality of Ukraine, they face more brutality back on their own side if they survive that long.

Nice to see Rafair 7221(Rivet Joint} over the Black Sea accompanied by Psycho 061/2 (Typhoons) who were towed up from Akrotiri by Kayak 31 which is still on towline. Nato 01 appears to be keeping an eye open for any possible bogeys Be interesting to see if there's a split by the Psycho pair in the event of any Russian nosiness.

Solovyev is not afraid of calling the special operation a war with NATO, points at 'conceptual' mistakes in military planning. The kind of language that would be unimaginable just a year ago.

Mobilised Russian reservists from Kazan (likely ethnic Tatars) are committing suicide in toilets, running away from their mobilisation camp, and being given psychological evaluations to assess their loyalty, according to journalist Farida Kurbangaleeva. Translation follows. ⬇️

It would appear being a Russian Propagandist in Kherson is not the job to get wounded in, several were hit on the Kherson bridge last night and one killed, that was just the start of their problems, they were rushed to hospital.
There are reports of medical personnel in the regional #Kherson hospital, refusing to help injured employees from TV channel "Tavria". “Finally, they shot you creatures”, were reportedly the words of the medical staff. People with shrapnel wounds were sent home for treatment.

Putin's bodyguards shot & killed a conscript on the shooting range in Ryazan who approached Putin too aggressively.
Putin's promo video exiting his limousine had to be redone - reportedly disclosed by FSB & Kremlin sources.
Conscript witnesses + family threatened to stay silent.

QUICK THREAD from a Russian Telegram drone-related channel on the Russian tactics to avoid Ukrainian countermeasures against commercial quadrocopters. Main points below:

Why do so many of your posts contain the same clip in two different formats ?

Crikey a UAV now armed with a rocket launcher!
Belarus Axis
As risky as any attack from Belarus to Ukraine may appear, the one thing that they could do is a run down the inside of the Ukrainian-Polish border in an attempt to cut the MSR from the west for Ukraine. What level of defence Ukraine has there is unknown, but it certainly needs to be sufficient to stop that from occurring, and preferably from even starting. Time to get serious about stopping Lukashenko doing something silly. Belarus becoming a belligerent by the use of their territory or use of their soldiers would permit UN signatory states to take direct action against them in support of Art 51 of the UN Charter. That would be uncomfortable as an escalation, but is absolutely permissible and would only trigger Art. 5 of NATO if the response against any NATO country resulted in an attack on a NATO country. That is the mirror of the playbook that Russia has played since Feb 24. "I can kill you from my country, but don't dare retaliate as I will destroy you". Works for Russia, Belarus, not so much. Personally prefer to see Russia and Belarus defeated on Ukraines border, for which they need to be able to destroy any attack on their Belarus border.
Time for the Ukrainians to have everything available on hand in the NW too. If Belarus tried and was unsuccessful, that at least would be the end of Lukashenko, but Russia would try immediately to control Belarus, and that could result in a civil war mixed with an invasion by Russia. Yet another opportunity for Putin to kill his soldiers in his brilliant design.
IMHO
