Thread on the #Russian invasion of #Ukraine - March 2

Kharkiv is being massively bombed tonight.

This is because this city, which is just a few kilometers away has been resisting since the very first day of the Russian offensive.
#Russia's failure to capture it is also one of the key elements explaining the relatively limited advances in the east/center. I think Russia expected that the city would quickly fall, the Sumy-Kharkiv line being broken, which would lead advances towards Dnipro.
Russia had amassed a significant force opposite Kharkiv, but the city still holds, which is key to the broader Ukrainian ability to delay the Russian advances, and avoid being dealt a killing blow.

So Russia is resorting to mass-shelling.

Weapons depot likely hit (secondary explosion and shockwave seen on video)
I see some people mentioning thermobaric. This does not look like a thermobaric weapon to me and thermobaric weapons used by Russia are fired in volleys.
This rather compares to a Beirut blast-type explosion (which is not better). Lots of explosives detonated at once by an initial detonation.

Ukraine media outlet quotes a spokesperson for the territorial defense unit as saying #Belarusian forces have entered #Ukraine

Would consider this unconfirmed for now
This also posted on several official Ukrainian channels (parliament as a repost, and center for strategic communication). But they all quote this specific spokesperson, so this is unconfirmed.
