Senior US defense official background briefing thread-

"Not a whole lot of changes today either... no real changes by the Russians on the ground near Kyiv; still hold them to be about 15 kilometers to the northwest, and still about 30 to the east."

"one reason why think they're so interested in Mariupol, so they can come up from the south, down from the north from Izyum. (We assessed) that the Russians had taken Izyum, and what we're seeing is some significant fighting there by the Ukrainians in an effort to take it back."

"Down in the south, you know, now that we're talking about Mariupol, no -- no real changes from yesterday to talk about with the exception of a couple of things... lots of continued bombardment, artillery and long-range fires in the Mariupol. "

A senior US defense official held a background briefing today, major points/summary thread.

"The only thing that I would say that's different since the last time we had a chance to talk is that we have seen some increased naval activity in the northern Black Sea."

"The Russians have a little bit more than a dozen warships, different stripes and sizes -- amphibious ships, surface combatants, mine sweeper and some patrol boats that they've got up in the northern Black Sea"

"It is not clear that this is an imminent pre-staging sign of an amphibious assault on Odesa, so it would be, at this point, we would assess that it would be wrong to conclude that this is somehow an indication that Odesa is under an imminent threat of an amphibious assault"

Just a short Ukraine map update, Russia continues to be bogged down in the north, especially around Kyiv, while pushing in the south to cut off more territory in Eastern Ukraine. This left their advance towards Mykolaiv weak, which Ukraine has used to mount a counterattack.

Around Mykolaiv, Ukranian forces have pushed towards and taken Posad-Pokrovs'ke, which is about halfway to Kherson

The Russians have surrounded and are moving into Mariupol and attempting to link up with separatist forces further north.

Google maps is down. Going to have a bit of trouble verifying or finding locations for videos.

Google earth as well. That’s less than optimal.

It might not be completely down but it is very, very slow.
