I stayed in Mir hotel when I visited Severodonetsk 3 years ago.
It means the Russians reached the city limits, coming from the forests in the northeast of the city. This is (was!) a crowded residential area far away from the industrial part of the city. ImageImageImageImage
Why do I always have to be right?!😡
Of course, this was no “sabotage and reconnaissance” team, but the spearhead of the Russian main force, reaching the city.
They won the battle for the hotel and now have a bridgehead in the city.
The battle for #Severodonetsk has started. ImageImageImage
“Russki Mir” has come to Hotel Mir. ImageImage
Disclaimer: I’m not always right.

Pro-Kremlin accounts claim the Ukrainian line of defense collapsed around Popasna and Russian airborne troops advanced almost 15 km West.
This is unconfirmed, so I am not marking the area as Russian-held yet on my map. It is just for illustrative purpose.
ANNA is one source for the claim.
Massive Russian reinforcements arrived in Popasna prior the push. Seems to be real.

Russian invasion forces captured two more settlements in northern #Donetsk oblast, improving their offensive positions around the strategic Ukrainian town of #Lyman. Image
#Breaking #NewsMap
Russian invasion forces captured four more settlements in Luhansk oblast, advancing south and west of #Popasna and establishing fire control over the only road to #Zolote.
If you like it or not: This is really bad news for defending forces in the area. Image
And yes! I am very much aware that these Russian advances lie far behind the initial plans to capture Eastern 🇺🇦 - as I again mentioned in our TV program today.
However, there is still no general turning point, but 🇺🇦 advancing in Kharkiv and 🇷🇺 gaining ground in Luhansk&Donetsk. Image

Echt, @HerthaBSC
1.Dauerkarte gilt nicht für das Relegationsspiel.
„Einlösen gegen Ticket“.
2.Zugangsdaten gehen nicht.
„Passwort zurücksetzen“.
3.Neues Passwort kommt (seit gestern!!!) nicht auf der E-Mail an.
„Hotline anrufen.“
4.Ansage: „Unzumutbare Wartezeit. Später anrufen.“
@HerthaBSC Durch diesen *§$&$%& habe ich jetzt die Frist zum Erhalt des Tickets verpasst und muss mir ein reguläres Ticket kaufen.
Und das, nach so einer Saison, in der ich euch mit 2.500 & Maske oder 70.000 & Bier angefeuert habe, obwohl ihr einfach nur grottig gespielt habt!

Wer das nicht glaubt, kann es ja selber einmal versuchen.

Withdrawing Ukrainian forces detonated the Borova river bridge between #Rubizhne and #Severodonetsk.
Everything north of it - on the right side of the Severski Donets river - fell to the invasion army, meaning the Russians captured the ruins of Rubizhne and Voyevodivka. ImageImage
There are counter claims, though.
So maybe the bridge was detonated in anticipation of the Russian advance with some light Ukrainian units remaining in Rubizhne to slow down the Russian advance, before defensive positions in northern Severodonetsk are fully established.
Rubizhne after the Russian takeover.
Lots of Ukrainian armor destroyed, not a single civilian remaining in the city it seems.
The Russians displaced all 56.000 inhabitants. ImageImageImageImage

Nach einem Jahr Gerichtsmarathon habe ich ein bisschen Pipi in den Augen.
Das OLG Frankfurt stellt klar, dass mein Artikel „einen Beitrag zu einer die Öffentlichkeit wesentlich berührenden Frage von zentraler politischer & gesellschaftlicher Bedeutung & Tragweite geleistet“ hat. Image
Auch bestätigt das finale Urteil, dass Lange eben KEIN „journalistisches Produkt“ habe erstellen sollen, sondern aus ganz anderen Gründen hinter Nawalny her war: #Spionageaktivitäten.
Preise gibt es für diese exklusive, riskante Mega-Recherche natürlich nicht ... weil @BILD.🤷‍♂️😅 Image

Russian invasion forces in Kherson oblast recaptured Klapaya and newly captured Tavriyskoye.
Kyselivka is under intense shelling, but holds so far.
Ukrainian resistance in occupied areas is taking shape.
Good to see!
Russian forces claim more than 30 Ukrainian soldiers capitulated in northern Donbas.
Unverified of course ...
