It is a workday hence I just get the lunchtime to tweet - so here is the 𧡠Lunchtime Roundup on the War in Ukraine:
1) Kharkiv is being punished for its resistance with a barrage of MLRS (Grad and Smerch). Reports of dozens of civilian casualties. Very graphic footages of the slain coming out (not this one), which I would not include.
They are creating another Aleppo.

2) Battle in Chernihiv NE of Kyiv is raging with columns of smoke rising from the city.
It is clear Russian forces are not engaging directly while the peace talks are ongoing.

3) Meanwhile on the west of Kyiv, a big column (the same spotted last night in Sat images?) is moving south towards Makariv instead of advancing towards Kyiv.
It seems siege of Kyiv is in play

Others:
- A Su-27 shot down in south
- Peace talks ongoing near Gomel, Belarus
Overall, MY TAKEπ
Russia is changing the plan/gear as it didn't work. Sadly, a recipe similar to Syria: siege of cities, indiscriminate bombing, heavy civilian casualty. WAR OF ATTRITION.
