So what's special about 21 December? Well it's the solstice so days get longer from today.
It's also the day Pres Zelenskyy went abroad for the first time in the war.
And, the day #Ukraine's tally of tanks destroyed reached 3,000 (tomorrow a bigger landmark!)

I don't often retweet my own stuff, but this came through late last night and likely got a bit lost in the news around #Ukraine's President's trip abroad.

One of Putin's closest allies confirmed it's not just about #Donbas; the goal remains regime change & to effectively conquer the whole country.
But big damage was inflicted by 🇺🇦 y'day on Donetsk.

#Sloviansk (and #Kramatorsk) the next big targets for #Russia and losing these would be a huge psychological blow (more than Lysychansk) for #Ukraine

However, #Ukraine's Defence staff says they beat off a Russian offensive yesterday.
"the enemy shelled civilian infrastructure in #Siversk + #Hryhorivka. (we) inflicted significant losses on the enemy during his attempted offensive. The occupiers left."

I've spent the last 30 minutes going through replies, DMs and questions etc. The most common comment is along the lines of "Is the game up for #Ukraine?"
Certainly things are not going well for Ukraine right now for reasons I'll come to shortly

Yesterday saw many civilian lives lost as Russia unleashed a barrage of missiles on eastern regions.
6 died in #Sloviansk, civilian buildings struck in #Kramatorsk and, as it only just made Sunday's thread, a repost of 🇷🇺 hitting a hospital in #Sumy

#Ukraine has not yet admitted the attack in #Russia and no confirmation of what was it. But could well be an ammunition store.
A house in #Belgorod' also seems to have been targeted but I cannot verify this video.

The revenge from #Russia for the anger at losing #SnakeIsland is an horrendous missile attack on residents in #Odesa/#Odessa region.
17 dead and 31 injured as rescuers work at the site.
Yet another war crime

#Putin loves symbolism and to leave calling cards.
It's no coincidence that he ordered the murderous strikes on an apartment block and two leisure complexes in #Odesa region with exactly the same delivery as #Kremenchuk - three X-22 missiles fired from Tu-22 strategic bombers.

Russian forces retreated from #SnakeIsland on June 30 following a Ukrainian missile and artillery campaign. The Russian Defense Ministry spun the retreat as “a step of goodwill.”

As ISW said earlier, the Russian defeat on #SnakeIsland will alleviate some pressure off the #Ukrainian coast by removing #Russian air defense and anti-shipping missile systems from the island, but it will not end the sea blockade. washingtonpost.com/world/2022/06/…
1/ 30 Juin 2022 - mid day - Gen Staff report - no Global changes on the front line

2/ Ukrainian soldiers stopped the offensive and inflicted significant losses on the occupiers in the areas of #Klynove and #Novoluhanske settlements, as well as repulsed the assault in the direction of the #Vuhlehirskaya TPP. In both cases the enemy withdrew.

No major movements on the map since my last update.
The only notable news is the reported entrance of Rus forces in Vovcherovka, 7 - 8 km south of #Lisichansk
The photos are reportedly from there but it's not known currently whether it's cleared completely

Another interesting detail is that 2 small settlements Sinetski & Pavlograd (just across the river from #Lisichansk) are in the gray zone on the map.
The Rus probably haven't entered them likely due to being exposed to Ukr fire from the other bank

No hay grandes cambios en los diferentes frentes, a pesar de la intensidad de los combates. Justo detrás de las líneas rusas se están produciendo movimientos a tener en cuenta. ISW cree que las fuerzas rusas implicadas en Severodonetsk son insuficientes.

Being a slow news day as far as info from the critical fronts, want to discuss an event from some days back. #Ukrainian sources released this drone video, claiming it shows a #Russian helicopter being destroyed on #SnakeIsland. Have wanted to discuss since I became aware of it on
May 8. For ~1 week, UA forces targeted #SnakeIsland (or nicer, Serpent Island, of ancient #Achilles lore) with a puzzling amount of air assets. As I reported then, it seemed evident that #Ukraine aimed to recapture the island as a PR coup. The island is also strategic as an AA
