The previous tweet reminds me of this video I saw a couple of days ago.
This purports to be recruitment for the Wagner Group inside a jail. It's said they promise an amnesty after six months of war, regardless of the charge.
Morning in occupied #NovayaKakhovka enabled us to see the full devastation following #Ukraine's hit on a military base. It's claimed 40 fuel tankers and numerous weapons/ammo were destroyed in the incredible fireworks display.
Another case of accuse others of what #Russia does itself. Two days after destroying a humanitarian aid centre, they claim #Ukraine's strike on a military base did the same there.
The occupiers then have the temerity...
2/2
...to say it was devastating for the town "since no one receives either pensions or wages."
Russia occupied #NovayaKakhovka over 4 months ago - why is there still no pension/wages?
Photo shows some of the collateral damage caused by secondary explosions from the ammo dump.
Just another of #Russia's senior officer meeting his end.
Captain Anton Shmelev, Commander of the howitzer artillery battery, 228 regiment Yekaterinburg.
Another one bites the dust!
Traitor Colonel Oleskiy Avramchenko completed his military education and service in #Ukraine including on #Crimea, where he chose to join Russia.
He was one of those to take down the🇺🇦flag.
Today news of his death in battle #SlavaUkraini#StopRussiaNOW
More trouble for #Russia in the occupied territories reported.
In #Enerhodar, twice in the early hours this morning, small drones dropped bombs on the former #Ukraine Intelligence office (SBU), now a base for Russians.
For example there appears to be no allowance for the strike on Russian bases in Kherson oblast in the counter attack. Reasons? 1) No.of victims unknown 2) Wagner (not RU army) troops 3) Not true
I've had a tip off, that I cannot yet corroborate, that "around 50 buses full of Russian troops" have arrived in the city this morning.
There have been strong rumours of conscripts in #Crimea about to be sent to mainland #Ukraine
Still in #Kherson news of a successful operation by #Ukraine's military.
Awaiting verification (photos etc) of this too, but reports say they've freed 5 Ukrainians who were being held captive by Occupiers.
1 soldier, 1 ex-police officer and 3 civilians; one is badly wounded
Two fires in quick succession in #Krasnodar have raised my eyebrows. On the face of it neither seems unduly suspicious, but the proximity in time and distance makes it noteworthy.
First this warehouse fire in the village of Prigorodny blazed for 4 hours.
#Ukraine's Intelligence has cracked a scheme to export silver bars and money from #Russia to #Ukraine. They allege the cash (over $3m) was then used for "subversive activities"
I've replied to a few people about the Russia claim of 90 deaths in #NovayaKakhovka.
Such was the destruction, I'm sure there were deaths, maybe even 90. But many may be due to #Russia's MLRS etc firing off ammo adjacent populated areas.
#ChasivYar - the death toll is now at 41
Russian missiles struck a 5-storey residential block on Sunday. The village is near #Bakhmut in the free part of #Donetsk oblast.
There's a new video on the state Facebook page below.
Occupiers say the Head of North Ossetia, was NOT injured in #Ukraine.
Sergei Menyailo did come under fire in #Zaporizhzhia but the rockets whistled overhead according to the report. "He was not injured, but slightly shaken"
Hello again. Day 860 of #Russia's all-out war on #Ukraine, but for newcomers, we only got here because the west did nothing when Putin tried to subvert democracy in 2013/4 & invaded #Crimea and east Ukraine in Feb 2014.
Let's start another daily thread - not a single day off!
Monday was another busy thread.
More signs #RussiaIsCollapsing, big blackouts and record losses for the invader.
In occupied #Ukraine there was an important hit on #Crimea, and how drones hit a moving train used by Russia.
What times we live in.
#Russia takes over the revolving Presidency of the UN Security Council, while Putin's biggest ally in the west, #Hungary holds the EU Presidency for 6 months.
This morning Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán arrived in #Kyiv for the first time since 2012.

It's Day 849 of #Russia's full invasion of its peaceful neighbour. But it's well over 10 years since the original illegal incursion into #Ukraine territory.
This is another daily thread with all the important news, presented without exaggeration, updated all day long every day!
#Russia's favourite mantra, repeated by trolls, useful-idiots, MAGA types etc, is of Nazis in #Ukraine.
It's simple: #Russia accuses others of what it does itself.
Democratic elections?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌
Jewish President?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌
Previous Pres Jewish?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌
Far right MPs?🇺🇦❌🇷🇺✅
Thursday ended with a lot of activity in #Russia's #Krasnodar region, explosions and nice videos.
You can see them at the end of yesterday's thread, a mammoth 60-post effort.

Hello and welcome of Day 838 of #Russia's full invasion of #Ukraine, a country which never fired a shot at any other until the initial 2014 invasion by its imperialistic neighbour.
This is THE thread for all the news, analysis and a bit of comment on the situation. Let's dive in
Regulars will know I (try to) always include a link back to the previous day for those who missed something, or like to just browse the main stories in one place, in a few minutes.
Please share, boost, do your NAFO thing to raise visibility!💙💛
It's Day 835 of #Russia's war.
A conflict based solely on the ego of one very little man. But Putin managed to remove all freedoms & opposition and then brainwash the public into supporting his tyranny, just as Hitler did.
This is THE daily thread covering the war in #Ukraine
It was another very difficult night for the people and air defenders in #Ukraine.
All the details coming up right here on Friday's thread.

First I want to point out the seemingly random number of "views".
Yesterday's thread-header has the lowest view count I can ever remember, despite almost identical likes/retweets to the previous day.
The last 3 days: 35k 22k and 9k
