A russian push for high ground near the front.

Yellow line is less than 10 miles from Avdiivka, so that's the distance covered in two months.

The rescue ship hit in Sevastopol does not look that damaged, the Russians have also positioned a missile ship in the bay to protect the port.

A list of the first US support batch valued at USD1billion is out.

"Airfield support equipment" sounds interesting.

The US secretly sent long-range ATACMS to Ukraine — and Kyiv used them

The Biden administration last month secretly shipped long-range missiles to Ukraine for the first time in the two-year war — and Kyiv has already used the weapon twice to strike deep behind Russian lines.

In March, the U.S. quietly approved the transfer of a number of Army Tactical Missile Systems with a range of nearly 200 miles, said a senior Biden administration official and two U.S. officials, allowing President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s forces to put at risk more Russian targets inside Ukrainian sovereign territory....

Ukrainian forces have used the long-range missiles twice, first against a Russian military base in Crimea and more recently against Russian forces east of Berdyansk near the Sea of Azov, the senior administration official said.....

The Biden administration warned Russia that attacking Ukraine’s energy grid and
using North Korean-provided missiles would lead the U.S. to reconsider sending ATACMS to Ukraine.

BREAKING:

Russia Deputy Defense Minister Timu Ivanov has been arrested for bribery. He is responsible for construction matters in the Ministry of Defense.

Surprise? Not really, maybe some infighting at the top,

A couple of rumors about Ivanov's arrest.

1. Three other people were arrested together with him,

2. The arrest took place during a high level meeting.

3. Putin wants Shoigu out, so so he is clearing Shoigu's associates out of the MOD.

4. The media that broke the news belongs to Putin's banker, Kovalchuk.
