Apart from the ongoing missile attacks, it is worth noting that information has emerged about preparations for large-scale flooding of the area around Odessa to make it more difficult for the Russian Armed Forces

According to a number of reports, the Ukrainian Forces command gave orders yesterday to abandon Izyum and concentrate on fighting for Kamenka.
The fighting from there is gradually shifting southwards towards Barvenkovo and towards Sloviansk. Ukrainian Forces' facilities in Sloviansk, Kramatorsk and Artemivsk have been hit hard.
The Ukrainian Forces command concentrates forces near Artemivsk in order to be able both to parry a breakthrough of the Donetsk front and to counter the Russian forces after the Izyum frontier is broken through.
#UkraineWar 1/4 Yesterday, during an assault on one of the Ukrainian strongholds in the #Gorlovka direction, some Ukrainian soldiers tried to surrender, but were shot in the back by other of their comrades-in-arms.
2/4 This morning the Ukrainian fighters managed to dislodge from those positions, and the video shows the corpses of the Ukrainian soldiers who wanted to surrender. Not only were they shot in the backs of their own, but their bodies were also left behind.
3/4 The soldiers of the Ukrainian forces who want to surrender must take this fact into account and preliminarily eliminate those of their fellow soldiers who would shoot them in the back.
2/5 John and Tatiana Joyce, a married couple who fled Mariupol, described how they escaped from the city occupied by "#Azov".
3/5 According to them, neo-Nazi battalion fighters shelled the city incessantly, did not let civilians out, threatening to leave no trace of #Mariupol, and shot their own soldiers in the back.
On March 24, France 24 broadcast () a report from #Irpen (#Kiev region).
Among the outdated information there is a curious detail:
In a car with a red cross, an armed Ukrainian Forces driver and cameraman enjoy the freedom to move around the city to uncover Russian fighters' positions and conduct reconnaissance during the fighting.
Note: Previously, there was enough information about the delivery of foreign mercenaries to the front lines under the guise of medical workers.
Не нужно смущаться, когда украинских неонацистов называют неонацистами. Их украинский неонацизм в первую очередь есть русофобия в высших её проявлениях. Поэтому неонацизм русским невыгодно, да и просто глупо идеологически поддерживать.
2/6 Нужно как раз указывать и поправлять тех, кто начинает заменять термин "неонацизм" в отношении к украинским неонацистам, на термин "украинский националист" и под это сводить смысл к тому, что сам по себе национализм преступен и античеловечен.
3/6 Это опасная тенденция и она стала наблюдаться где-то примерно в середине месяца текущей операции. И наблюдается не где-нибудь, а в кремлёвских главных СМИ особенно быстро переключились армяне в путинской Russia Today. Это плохой признак.
Situation in #Mariupol by the end of March 26, 2022
🔹 As of today, the territorial control of the Ukrainian forces and the neo-Nazi organization "Azov" has been reduced to three areas: Azovstal [Azovstal plant], the northern area and the seaside area.
There is no longer any centralized communication between the precincts. What is not cleared is under the fire control of the Donetsk People's Militia.
🔹 On the left bank, the clearance of residential areas is being completed, and fighting is taking place in industrial areas adjacent to the Azovstal plant. In particular, we are talking about the fighting near the intersection of Ukrainian Cossacks and Taganrogskaya.
