Is Ukraine about to have a war?
I do hope they are showing this in Russia, they are sending their children off to war dressed in paintball kit, no cold weather kit and self purchased sanitary towels as Putin stands there in his opulent warm palace, nice suit on and a glass of wine in his hand.

But the good news is that the Kerch bridge is starting to head back towards being an excellent target once again. I would think that the center span is the better target for the FSB next time, that will take Rostov out of the business of shipping for the next few months.
That twin magnums of champers, inn'it?
The victory salute to send off the Red team.

Their logistics strategy is not just dated, it's Napoleonic.
Rossiskaja Gazeta claims that Russian scientists have created "Antidote against HIMARS: air defence received a new program that allows you to shoot down American missiles"
A lot of salt with it and a lot is cope material, but interesting article to see what is being fed to the Russian population.

According to the officer, if at the initial stage the Russian air defense forces did not understand what the HIMARS MLRS missiles were, then after the firmware of the new program they became a "common target."
Data on the new software that allows you to see American missiles, of course, is not disclosed. According to military experts, one can only assume that the new firmware for Russian air defense systems appeared after a detailed analysis of downed missiles.
Earlier, information appeared, not officially confirmed, that one HIMARS MLRS installation was captured by our units. In addition, it was said that an undamaged HIMARS missile fell into the hands of the Russian military, which was delivered to one of the research institutes in Russia. It is likely that having thoroughly studied both the launcher itself and the rocket to it, our scientists were able to make an antidote against this complex.
Previously, it was not easy for our air defense to shoot down rockets fired from HIMARS systems. This was explained by the fact that the rocket flies at high altitude and has low visibility for air defense systems. In addition, the range of destruction of American missiles is about 80 km. This seriously reduces the time to make a decision after the target is detected by air defense systems.
According to experts, even before the creation of special software, our air defenses shot down 75-80 percent of missiles that were launched by HIMARS systems. The complexity of the destruction of this reactive ammunition is that it is necessary to hit its warhead. The rocket itself is just a pipe with an engine, hitting which can only change its course. Due to the fact that the head of the rocket is affected, it is only shot down at close range.

Security at its max, they have even blurred out the cats face. 
Many of their soldiers still have not been issued with socks, so logistics are probably the least of their concerns TBH.

BREAKING: The U.S. plans to level new sanctions against Russia and China under the Global Magnitsky Act.
These sanctions will deal with Russia's use of Iranian UAVs, human rights abuses from Russia and China, and China's illegal fishing in the Pacific region.
Britain unveiled coordinated human rights sanctions today, which were focused on Iran and Russia.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-to-...na-11670547885
WASHINGTON—The U.S. is set to levy fresh sanctions against Russia and China on Friday, actions that include targeting Russia’s deployment of Iranian drones in Ukraine, alleged human-rights abuse by both nations and Beijing’s support of alleged illegal fishing in the Pacific, according to officials familiar with the matter.
The bulk of the expected sanctions are to be imposed under the Global Magnitsky Act, named after a whistleblower who died in a Moscow jail after accusing officials of corruption.The U.S., by using those powers to sanction high-profile government, military and business officials accused of human-rights abuses and corruption, says it aims to hold them accountable and deter others.….
The sanctions will freeze any assets the targets have within U.S. jurisdiction, prevent their travel to the U.S. and prohibit business dealings with them. For government and business officials, the actions can complicate their international travel and financing…..
The targets include officialsallegedly responsible for Russia’s filtration camps for Ukrainians caught behind the front, where groups such as Human Rights Watch have alleged the military has tortured citizens and committed other war crimes.
Separately from the Magnitsky sanctions, the administration also plans to hit several Russia defense industry entities tied to the transfer of Iranian military drones Moscow has been using to deadly effect in attacking Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure, according to the officials.
By penalizing Russia for its Iranian drone supplies, the U.S. says it aims to disrupt the deployment of a weapon that Ukrainians say has terrorized the population and is manufactured by Tehran’s U.S.-sanctioned weapons program.
Additionally, the U.S. prepared sanctions against Russia’s central election commission, which presides over an election system that Western officials broadly condemn as fraudulent and that has ensured President Vladimir Putin, a former spy, control of the country for nearly a quarter-century.
The Biden administration also is set to sanction around 170 largely Chinese entities allegedly involved in illegal fishing throughout the Pacific, which Western officials say Beijing has used not only to feed the world’s largest population, but also to help the Communist government expand its maritime power through the establishment of a network of ports outside of China.
Besides exhausting fishing stocks critical to the ecosystem more broadly, analysts say China uses its fishing vessels to further its geopolitical aims. “China’s national and local governments recruit some commercial fishing vessels into maritime militia activity,” the Congressional Research Service said in an April report for lawmakers. Government officials then “require them to operate in specified waters to defend national sovereignty rights, participate in training and sovereignty defense, and provide support to the PLA in combat,” the CRS said, referring to the People’s Liberation Army, China’s military.
One U.S. official said sanctions had also been drafted to list Chinese entities allegedly involved in human-rights abuses against Tibetans. Beijing has used its security forces as part of an effort to control the group, human-rights groups say, harassing suspected followers of Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama.

Smokers or welding I wonder?
In Barnaul, Russia, the Altai Tire Plant is on fire. The plant also produces tires for military equipment.

If attributed to Ukrainian action and current (not always the case on twitter) this is some fire.

So, according to Putin the West is guilty of genocide in Ukraine killing and raping civilians.
