Today is a hundred days since #Ukraine, a 31-year-old sovereign country in eastern #Europe repels a brutal military invasion of totalitarian and revanchist Russia. #StandWithUkraine
A few reflections in the @Telegraph after 100 days of the Russian war against #Ukraine.
[3] In #Bulgaria's capital Sofia, a long blue strip was unfolded across the downtown square with a hundred yellow roses on it. This street performance is to commemorate 100 days of the brutal Russian war in #Ukraine. (Photos by Ukr. Embassy in Bulgaria)
Three hours ago the #Ukrainian fighter jet MiG-29 shot down the advanced Russian fighter Su-35 ($85 mln) in the sky over the southern #Kherson province, #Ukraine. Source: Ukraine Air Force. The photo is illustrative. [Thread⬇️]
[2] "The MiG-29 apparently works better in high altitudes than heavier fighter jets like Su-30s. The MiG-29’s outstanding performance in harsh conditions, compared to the bulkier Sukhoi jets is no secret now." eurasiantimes.com/russian-su-30-…
[3] As #Ukraine Air Force added in the news flash, the destroyed Russian Su-35 patrolled the #Kherson province airspace hunting for the Ukrainian bombers. It wasn't lucky, obviously.
#Ukraine is going to beef up its military supplies, protective gear, and weapons to furnish up to 1 mln fighting servicemen, said Ukraine's defense minister @oleksiireznikov in his statement on Facebook quoted by @UKRINFORM. [Thread of the essential⬇️]
[2] "By May 9th, Russia got a strategic defeat - it couldn't destroy the #Ukrainian state through military intervention and replace the government with the Russian marionettes. We forced it to lower the goals to the operative-tactical level," said @oleksiireznikov.
[3] "We are entering the new, long-lasting phase of the war. To win it, we need to plan our force in a way that the enemy will finally break. Since Feb 24, we knew that the confrontation will be long, and last till our full victory," said @oleksiireznikov.
The #Ukraine intelligence volunteers from the @InformNapalm community shared an audio intercept of a radio exchange between panicking Russian Marines & indifferent Russian Navy HQ in Crimea. Marines were under attack on the occupied #Ukrainian Snake Island in the Black Sea.
[2] On audio, Russian servicemen onboard their Raptor boats are panicking, crying, and lamenting to their Crimea Navy HQ about every Bayraktar missile that one by one hit and destroyed their boats.
[3] The Russians on their Raptors used an open Maritime rescue frequency begging from Crimea HQ for the air support to save them from the hostile Ukrainian attack drone in the Black Sea.
UPDATE - Yesterday's #Ukraine attack on the Rus. HQ in #Izium was designed to liquidate the high-value target - chief of Gen. Staff of RAF Gen. Valeriy Gerasimov. The Kremlin sent him to get a victory for the May 9 parade. Gerasimov was close to the blast but wounded. [Thread⬇️]
[2] Yesterday, at the moment of the #Ukraine attack more than 40 high-ranked Russian military officers gathered in the HQs in #Izium. Reportedly, up to 20 of them are confirmed killed incl. Gen. Andrey Simonov, a commander of electronic warfare forces of the West district.
[3] Gen. Gerasymov suffered a minor shrapnel wound to his right shin without breaking a bone. Source: former minister of Internal Affairs of #Ukraine Arsen Avakov via his sources.
Due to the Putin's invasion, in the first quarter of 2022 #Ukraine registered an increased amount of 802 cyberattacks from Russia and Belarus, said the Ukrainian govt cyber group CERT-UA. [Thread⬇️]
