There is also a tangible new front line that is emerging approximately

The other big story was #Russia's deliberate bombing of a dam, trying to flood #Ukraine's 7th biggest city, #KrivyiRih (RU: #KrivoyRog)
It's the home town of President @ZelenskyyUa
Late in the evening authorities evacuated houses of those living closest to the river.

Once again we've seen far fewer attacks than "normal" from #Russia in the last 12 hours. In fact it's newsworthy that there was not a single rocket fired on #Kharkiv overnight.

2/n RUS siły, które uciekły z Katastrofy Charkowskiej są takim samym stanie (fizycznym i psychicznym) a nawet gorszym niż te spod Kijowa, bez sprzętu i amunicji. Zajmie wiele tygodni RUS, by przywrócić im zdolność bojową, nie są wstanie od razu wejść do boju. #KharkivOffensive
3/n Ukraińcy natomiast mimo poniesionych strat mają bardzo wysokie morale, zdobyli dużo sprzętu na chodzie i bogate magazyny amunicji i mogą straty w ludziach uzupełnić. #KharkivOffensive #Izyum
I'm starting a daily thread on #Russia's illegal war for the 200th time.
Yes, we made it to Day 200, but Putin's 4-day "special operation" to take #Kyiv and 10-days to control all of #Ukraine is going "according to plan"😉🤥

Please remember all the victims of that horrific day in the U.S.
Hopefully #Russia's terrorism is being beaten thanks to the heroes of #Ukraine, at the front, protecting a free country.

Last night Pres @ZelenskyyUa announced that two more villages in #Kharkiv had been liberated; #Vasylenkove and #Artemivka.
In truth it's just that #Ukraine's forces only just walked in there. Here's @TheStudyofWar's new map showing how much land is confirmed reclaimed in Kharkiv

I've understandably been concentrating on #Kharkiv region, but there is still fierce battles elsewhere.
In occupied #Donetsk, the roof of a hospital caught fire when a rocket hit the building in #Kalininsky area.
Impossible to tell who fired it, but may be a false-flag attack

This thread is about the fall off #Balakliia. Also about the #Russia|n bloggers and commentators that are seeing now the end coming and that everything is lost. Who calls for general mobilisation and use of nuclear weapons. This pisses me off, so that I, AGAIN, am forced

Okay. First of all... Everything is okay. There is no panic among the #Russia|ns or their leadership. Why?
#Balakliya is a buffer area for the bigger Russian formations

around #Izyum. You always need buffer areas around strategically important assets to be able to maneuver and apply mobile defense, if needed in the depth.
Now unfortunately #Balakliya did, what buffer areas do... Buy time and buffer off the first shock of an assault.

Having emphasised the good points for #Ukraine, I do feel the need to inject a note of realism into the thread.
Momentum is with the Defenders of liberty in many parts of the frontline. But Ukraine is suffering very heavy casualties too, likely higher than at any point so far

3/ this morning recap
Weiter unten ist die Geobestätigung.
Augenscheinlich ist die Ukraine bei #Balakliia durchgebrochen und gen Norden bereits bis #VolokhivYar vorgestoßen. Weitere größere Gefechte soll es östlich von Balakliia bei #Sawynzi geben.Lage der Front zwischen #kharkiv und #izium unklar 1/3

Wir müssen abwarten was sich dort tatsächlich abspielt und ob die Gebiete gehalten werden können. Insgesamt scheint RUS dort aber deutlich zu wenig Soldaten zu haben. Es kann hier zu sehr großen Gebietsrückeroberungen der Ukraine kommen, speziell wenn sie gen Osten den #Oskil 2/3
Fluss erreichen. Dann steht der Norden gen #Belgorod offen. Sobald die Lage klarer wird, werde ich ein genaues Update geben 3/3

Looking at #Ukraine's estimates for #Russia's losses, I think the 460 illegal invaders they "liquidated" in the last 24 hours is an all-time high - I'm sure this war's stat-man @ragnarbjartur can confirm.
All first 4 totals above avg

Of course #Russia loves to pass death sentences for mercenaries but hires its own.
But 40% of RU PMCs in #Kharkiv region are dead/injured according to Kyiv

2/ Last gen staff report - part 1&2 :
3/ "Our military successfully repelled enemy attacks in the areas of settlements valley, #Soledar, #kodema, #zaitseve (...) noticed that yesterday Gen staff reported that #Semyhirja & part of #Pokrovske were shelled by Ru. So this 2 areas remain uncertain. no notification today.
Related to this front around #Balakliia, and the #Izium supply hub, which I spoke about in the quoted thread, I wish to speculate about another possible future development. The forests west of Izium are scenes of some of the fiercest & least reported aspects of the war recently.
As I have mentioned, UA forces' ability to operate in dense wooded areas has steadily increased. It is clear to everyone that the Izium supply hub, road & rail junctions, and river/forest passageway to the south are critical to the RU offensive. While RU forces achieved an
important & impressive victory in its capture, which UA forces fought desperately to prevent, the breakthrough remained narrow for a long time. Only recently has Russia widened it towards the east (less dense territory) & connected it by rail to the Kupiansk line as discussed.
Day 48 of #Russia's "military operation" aka genocide of a peaceful neighbouring state.
