Some thoughts about the military perspective about what just happened in #Izyum / #Kharkov.
First let's talk about Kharkov in general. This region was very poorly defended by #Ukraine|ians the last few months. #Russia took the initiative and started a pinning operation.

This was executed with very few troops as well, because more wasn't needed for the degree of resistance in this place. The goal of a pinning and holding operation is, to draw #Ukraine|ian troops away from other important frontline section, just to defend this "unimportant"

First confirmation of one late story last night.
Many collaborators, police and even FSB reported dead in #Kherson when an explosion hit a police school still widely used by the occupiers.
This is the site this morning

Following the latest death of a prominent Russian critic of the war, thereve been a lot of memes and jokes.
This one cuts deep on different levels and Defence Minister Shoigu must really be worried

Potentially good news from @amnesty
The organisation's pledged to have its' "#Ukraine report" examined by independent experts.
Amnesty International says it "wants to understand what exactly went wrong" according to Deutsche Welle.
Appointing @AgnesCallamard perhaps?

Britain's daily update points out the vulnerability of Russia's invaders west of the Dnipro river in occupied #Kherson region.
In fact 5 bridges in the region are now unusable despite frantic ongoing repair efforts.

#Ukraine's South Division stated in its morning update the bridge near the Kakhovka Hydroelectric plant was the latest hit.
Some locals report this bridge is still being used but it's probably not safe for heavy vehicles.
There are more explosions reported now in #Lyubimivka

We ended yesterday wondering if the Dar'ivky Bridge just outside occupied #Kherson had been hit.
No update on that yet, but #Ukraine has claimed hits on 6 ammo dumps, numerous weapons and command posts in #Chornobaivka #Oleshki #Beryslav #Bruskinskyi and Kherson city itself.

#Ukraine is already hitting #Russia's stores again this morning.
This video from occupied #Makiivka (RU #Makeevka) - a lot of explosions followed the first strike, so looks likely to be an another ammunition dump.

Hello, welcome to Friday and to Day 163 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine
Critical days after The Kremlin's tactic of carpet bombing the front line, then throwing 1000s of cannon fodder into the "grey zone" seems to be pushing Ukraine back in #Donetsk.
All the news, all day, here⬇️

The @TheStudyofWar last night reported #Ukraine "is likely seizing the strategic initiative and forcing #Russia to reallocate forces" due to threats in #Kherson.
However their maps don't include the news about #Avdiivka and #Bakhmut which I brought you in yesterday's thread

Also last night I showed the scenes in #Nikopol - and I'll tweet a new video in the next post
UK's MoD's update highlights the sheer recklessness of #Russia firing on Nikopol from a nuclear power plant in #Enerhodar, storing weapons there knowing #Ukraine can't risk firing there

Day 162 of #Russia's war with a country which has never invaded, or fired upon, another country once.
#Ukraine continues its proud defence, but masses of new cannon fodder are arriving on the fronts to help #Russia pressure new fronts.

First to the murder of #Ukraine's #Azovstal defenders in the missile strike on the #Olenivka prison.
The @ICRC put out a statement saying they could not guarantee the safety of the Ukrainians despite negotiating their release from #Mariupol'

The Red Cross statement says they had no access to prisoners in #Olenivka before the strike. This contradicts Russian propaganda channels which claimed they visited 4 days before.
US Intel concurs with my assessment Russia is delaying UN/ICRC visits to plant evidence.

Still big problems for #Russia in the occupied south of #Ukraine. British Intel today highlighting the transport links which will hinder their attempts to fend off a Ukraine assault in #Kherson or counter attack here towards #Mykolaiv.
The #Ukraine land assault in #Kherson will come, but #Russia adding 1000s of extra (untrained) conscripts + Wagner mercenaries to the warzone, complicates matters
The invaders now threaten #Zaporizhzhia having failed to take all of #Donetsk
So for now 🇺🇦continues to hit 🇷🇺bases
