#Mariupol - #Russia has managed to re-open the port in Mariupol with the first ships docking there this week. Their first order of business has been to load up the remaining rolled steel that was produced at #Azovstal by #Ukraine & ship it to Rostov-on-Don, #Russia for offload.
#Russia struggled to initially re-open the port due to anti-ship mines placed by #Ukrainian forces to defend against an amphibious assault. The rolled steel shown below and taken by Russia may be the last ever produced at #Azovstal as its production capability has been destroyed.
Another view of the ships loading the rolled steel at the #Mariupol port that shows more of the port infrastructure. Much of this infrastructure is likely damaged but enough has been repaired to dock and load/unload ships.
#Ukraine has claimed that there was more than 200,000 tons of steel sitting in the #Mariupol port waiting for shipment. This amount of steel would be worth between $150 - $250 million, depending on the type of material, on the international market.

#Kherson Axis - The first videos are coming out from the #Ukrainian counteroffensive in Davydiv Brid. The extent of newly captured terrain is unclear but #UAF is moving heavy equipment & troops across the Inhulets River to attack #Russian forces in the area. Videos in next tweet. ImageImage
This video shows #Ukrainian troops moving into an already liberated settlement of Davydiv Brid. The lack of fighting or tactical posture means the frontlines are likely far away from this position.
Another video showing #Ukrainian troops on the move around Davydiv Brid.

#Severodonetsk - #Russian troops have made significant advances in the city today. #RUAF has advanced beyond the city concert hall & have captured government buildings in the city center. Geolocated videos show #RUAF in control of at least 50% of the city. Videos in next tweet. Image
Videos of #Chechen fighters from today show a tour of the city center. The blue and white roofed building has been geolocated to: 48.94644, 38.49439. The lack of fighting or tactical posture by #Chechen's indicates that the frontlines are far away from this location.
There are rumors that #Ukrainian forces have begun a general withdrawal from the NE side of the Donets River. This is likely to happen soon if it has not happened already, given that #Russian forces are now in a position to trap #UAF into pockets with no escape route to the SW.

#Kherson Axis - #Ukrainian troops have launched a counterattack 40 mi/65km NE of #Kherson City with the stated goal of destroying #Russian supply lines to the N. #Ukraine has captured Davydiv Brid & has gained ground and possibly total control in Lozove, Bilohirka & Andriivka. ImageImage
This counterattack had to cross the Inhulets River, which had been serving as a defensive boundary and line of contact for #Russia & #Ukraine up to this point. #Ukraine has stated that the #UAF did not cross the river at Davydiv Brid, & instead used a crossing bridge "downriver".
This means that the crossing likely happened somewhere between Bilohirka and Lozove. There are footbridges in that direction, but #Ukraine has moved armor across the river, indicating the use of a pontoon bridge. #Ukraine claims its troops have attacked as far as Kostromka 9km S.

The #UnitedStates is considering whether to send HIMARS to #Ukraine in its fight against #Russia. What is the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) and could a deep strike precision guided munition tip the scales towards #Ukraine in the #UkraineRussiaWar?
HIMARS are capable of firing both rockets & missiles. The most common rocket is the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System M31A1 rocket (see below) that comes in pods of 6 rockets. These rockets can travel beyond 70km (reportedly 84km) to strike targets with an accuracy of 2m.
The M31A1 rockets have a 200 pound warhead with a variable fuse that can be used in different modes to engage different target sets. This include: point detonating (explodes when it hits), proximity fuse (explodes at 3m or 10m above ground) or delay (1m or 2m delay after impact).

After posting this video we received multiple allegations that the occupants of this vehicle were #Ukrainian Soldiers in a stolen civilian vehicle. So, we decided to take a deep dive into the video to find out more about the occupants and the video. Here is what we found. 🧵
At the 0:02 mark in the rearview mirror you can briefly see the person in the passenger seat has on a black flak jacket and the letters PRE are clearly visible. Black flak jackets are frequently worn by the press in war zones to protect journalists and are marked w "PRESS".
At 0:14 you can see the entire hood of the car and that the word PRESS is handwritten in large capital letters across the entire hood. You can also see that the driver is wearing a black ballistic helmet similar to that worn by journalists in areas of conflict.

#UkraineRussianWar Update - No confirmed changes in control of terrain today. #Russian forces focused on consolidation and preparation for assaults on Soledar, Severodonetsk, Lyman & New York. There was an an overall decrease in #RUAF attacks today, but an uptick in shelling.
#Ukraine repelled attacks S of Dovhenke, around Ternova, Severodonetsk & Lypove. #Russia is consolidating gains W and NW of #Popasna to prepare for future N, W & S assaults there to expand its zone of control. Around Kherson #Russian forces continue to build permanent defenses.
Pro-#Russian sources are concerned #Ukraine is about to counterattack in the vicinity of Kherson with "23 BTGs, totaling 20,000 troops." in order to force #Russia out of Kherson and back over the #Dnipro River. #Ukraine has been massing troops in the area but so has #RUAF.
