🇺🇦🧵🗣️Initially a short report from yesterday by my friend Kenneth Gregg #UkraineRussianWar (1/7): "This morning's [July 4th] intense Russian attack has been repulsed and the strengthening of the new line of defense continues. -->
2:"The Russians probably thought that our forces were exhausted when we left #Lysyshansk so they tried a coordinated attack along the entire front.
Our artillery activity has increased significantly, we have met targets that are up to 70 km into occupied territory.-->
3:"This shows that we have started to bring in both new ammunition and artillery. The logistics of the new weapons are simple but ingenious, unfortunately I can not tell you about this, so you who have been worried about this can calmly leave that worry. -->
4:"There has been talk that the Russians want to take the entire #Donbas and continue to advance within that region. I am of a completely different opinion. I think the Russians will concentrate on the south and try to take the entire Ukrainian Black Sea coast with #Odesa. -->
5:"I think that for the time being they are content with #Luhansk and are building a fortification line from Lysyshansk towards Popasna. Another strong indication is the general mobilization in Crimea that was introduced today [yesterday].-->
6:"I bet we will see troop movements to #Kherson in the next few days and a major offensive against #Nikolayev and the massive bombing of Odesa. It will be a race against time to undermine the Russian offensive. -->
7:"This afternoon we knocked one arms depot out in #Yakovlivka. In #Popovka in the Kursk region we and Freedom of Russia Legion has detonated a depot by dropping a bomb from a drone. In #Schehlovka it is burning briskly. #SlavaUkrayini " /End of report

🇺🇦🧵🗣️Today's Kenneth Gregg report: (1/11) "Tonight, ZHELENSKY has ordered Ukraine's armed forces to liberate SOUTHERN UKRAINE. This means that they consider themselves to have enough weapons and manpower to start the offensive. -->
2:"Remains to make the detailed plans so my guess is that within 2 weeks we have a full-scale offensive underway.
The transport of the new weapons and ammunition has taken place in such a way that the Russians had no clues about it, -->
3:"...which shows the innovation ability the army and private individuals possess in this WONDERFUL COUNTRY.
The Russians are in the middle of a regrouping that is under fire, their maintenance lines are under constant sabotage and they must now get all the equipment they -->
🇺🇦🧵🗣️Another one of my 'daily' Kenneth Gregg #UkraineRussianWar reports (1/13): "Great to wake up to news that turned out to be true: the Russians were coming in full attack with armour and full infantry from Dovhenke, aiming to take a hill in no man's land.-->
2:"The result was like an early Christmas present for us, 35 tanks destroyed or captured by our boys!!! I didn't think it was true at first but it has been confirmed so now we have about a dozen new tanks to use against the Russians.-->
3:"From a purely military tactical point of view this was suicide, actually find this hard to believe. Has someone given orders being drunk or what is the issue?
We are now intensifying the shelling from our side and the Russians are decreasing theirs. -->
🇺🇦🧵🗣️This morning Kenneth Gregg wrote a short report but I've been busy with other issues and could not get it out immediately (1/4) : "Enemy is on fire! So I can compile the events of the night and the morning. A large Russian weapons depot in #Shaktharsk was knocked out -->
2:"...and there is a fierce fire and ammunition is exploding. At Nova Kohovka, there is a fire near the power plant. At Popasna, smaller weapons depots have been found. If the Russians have now taken a break, as they claim, they should dig themselves very deep and scattered. -->
3:"All their major gatherings are reported to our artillery so we can send them delayed midsummer greetings. The reorganization of my first platoon (now called 'Lynx') is advancing and we finally get the much needed experts. However, much bureaucracy still needs to be done.
🇺🇦🧵🗣Kenneth Gregg here: (1/6) "Midsummer Eve update. On the Eastern Front, we have gone into new positions and despite retreat orders from #Sieverodonetsk, the fighting continues. It is probably to keep the Russians at bay as it takes time to organize the retreat because-->
2:"...we have civilians to take with us. Probably we will now tonight experience a massive Ukrainian artillery fire and in protection of it the retreat itself takes place. It's a classic tactic.
South of Izuim we have small Ukrainian advances but no noticeable changes. -->
3:"On the #Kharkiv front, the Ukrainian positions are under constant artillery fire, but no significant Ukrainian losses.
So to #Kherson, that I am not allowed to report much about. Five artillery shelling on the Russian positions during the day. -->
🇺🇦🧵🗣️Report from Kenneth Gregg from yesterday (1/8): "Some info from #Kherson that I am allowed to publish: there has been a whole series of explosions in Kherson today [yesterday]. No information if it is our guerilla squads or our artillery that have been at it.-->
2:" I have 4 fellow soldiers who are active on this front and they have not been active on their phone apps since yesterday afternoon. This means that the info lock is tight.
In #Kharkiv no frontal changes, nor any major changes on the eastern front. -->
4:"The airfield near #Sieverodonetsk is still held by us. The #Bakhmut line is holding and the Russian attacks today have been repulsed. I have informed you that HIMARS have arrived and so have other weapons. -->
🇺🇦🧵🗣️Yesterday Kenneth Gregg reported the following (1/13):"Today [yesterday] our Nordic media reported that the Russians have advanced and taken more land. Why the hell don't they talk about WHAT land. Since they don't, I'll tell you about it. -->
2:" The only land they have taken is EAST of #Popasna. This is land of no strategic importance whatsoever, while to the north is what is important. The only thing this has brought is heavy losses to the Russians and now they are out in the open, -->
3:"...I am talking about the areas around #Toshkivka. Instead, they should have concentrates on taking over the #Bakhmut-#Lyshansk road. Why then bother, many ask? You don't have to be a general to realize this. After all, the Russians' target is #Lyshashansk and there we -->
