Earlier today, five ISR aircraft from the US, Sweden, and Ukraine flew over the Baltics, Ukraine, and the North Sea: USN P-8A (PK22x), US Army RC-12X (YANK01, YANK02), Ukrainian TB2 (1235678), Swedish S100D (SVF604). 1/3
The Ukrainian TB2 briefly transmitted (~12 minutes) along the Crimean border, tracking west back to Mykolaiv. It is possible, based on prior flights, that she spent some time over the Donbas region. 2/3

Earlier today, eight ISR aircraft from the US, UK and Sweden flew over the Baltics, Ukraine, & the North & Celtic Seas: USN P-8A (PK249); US Army ARTEMIS (BRIO68); USAF RQ-4 (FORTE12); USAF RC-135W (JAKE11) Swedish S102B & S100D (SVF623, C604); RAF P-8As (RFR7041, RFR7040). 1/6
This is the second RQ-4 flight to make this pattern in the last week, making use of the same airframe. There is a possibility that we will see the return of the daily RQ-4 flights over and around Ukraine. 2/6
All of the approximate unit locations reported by @konrad_muzyka are covered by the line-of-sight range of the RQ-4, giving us a better idea of what she's focusing on.

USN P-8A (PK18x)
US Army RC-12Xs (YANK01 & YANK03)
