🇺🇦🧵🗣My 'daily' Kenneth Gregg #UkraineUnderAttaсk (1/11):"Good news from the Eastern Front. Yesterday the Russians tried to break through at #Verknokhaminske, #Bilohdrivka, #Bakhmutske, #Veseladolyna and #Travnerne but were quite easily beaten back.➡️
2:"On the line #Dolomitne-Novoluhanske likewise with the same result. Fighting is currently taking place at the power plant in #Vuhlehirsk and at #Striapvika-Soledar. The quality of their attacks has dropped drastically due to misdirection of their shelling.➡️
3:"A shining example of their misdirected shelling is probably yesterday's shelling of #Zaporizhzhia, 20 missiles fired with MLRS and most of them landed in the Dnipro river. Very expensive fishing! Remember that the main line of defense is not where we are now fending off the ➡️
4:"... Russians' attacks, it is still more than a mile away. 90% of the battle environment is open landscape and not urban.

Also on the southern front, the Russians counterattacked at #Kadiivka and #Davydiv Brid in an attempt to retake lost ground.➡️
5:"Here the Russians have more experienced soldiers, but since their tactics are always the same, they were totally repulsed, de facto we took starting positions of their attack.

Ours had a good day and night, at #Zaporizhzhya NPP we struck a Russian base and destroyed their➡️
6:"... equipment and ammunition. We knocked out a whole convoy of new soldiers and equipment at #Lysyshansk, so the Russians will probably have to wait a while longer for new reinforcements. In addition, we have knocked out smaller weapons depots far into occupied land.➡️
7:"Why then have we achieved such a positive trend as if out of thin air? The answer is that we have more western weapons in place than what is officially released, I have pointed this out a number of times already. Again I refer to the simple but ingenious transport system ➡️
8:"...which is basically invisible, both to spies and the common man. In addition, we have given permission for various weapons manufacturers to test their weapons here (not a secret) and they do it at the front. Ok, many of you may think this is a patchwork of different ➡️
9:"...weapons and systems but anything that can knock out a Russian platoon is headed for home. Also, dear Swedes, you have your weapons industry here too. So I have good news for those of you who want more of Bengt and Emil's reports, they will be here in mid-August and I can ➡️
10:"...promise you many interesting reports in Swedish television's 'Rapport' and 'Aktuellt' then.

So, to finish off, some sad news. The Russians' terror bombing of #Kharkiv is intensifying, and I'm actually starting to have serious concerns about the civilian population.➡️
11:"The Russians don't have enough troops to take the city but they are heavily shelling the city. We actually need to address this problem now! We need heavier weapons there to chase the Russians back over the border or the situation will be untenable for the civilians."/End

🇺🇦🧵👥I mostly mention Kenneth Gregg but I think I should mention some other Scandinavians as well, for example the Swede Jonas von Matern. He is not fighting in #Ukraine but collecting funds for necessary hardware. I will let him talk now: (1/7)
2:"This was my 9th trip down to Ukraine since march. 2900 km. 150 days of war. It is a strange feeling to one day be at the front, waking up to explosions every night between 3 and 5, and then go back to sleep 10 min later. ⬇️
3:"Seeing how the people clean up the broken glass every morning and then get on with there life. And a few days later be back over the border to Poland and a country in peace. Where the sound of a jet engine doesn't mean that a cruise missile is coming. ⬇️

🇺🇦🧵🗣️Sunday morning update from Kenneth Gregg #UkraineRussiaWar (1/12): "The Russians are eagerly trying to destroy the #Pokrovske and #Vuhlehirsk power stations. Wave after wave has been sent but they have all been defeated. My friend at the Vuhleirsk power station is⬇️
2:"...completely baffled with what the Russians are up to. The Russians have not advanced one meter in the last 24 hours.
{I have given my friend a can of Swedish fermented herring ("surströmming") and they have already had their herring party down there. Got a video which I'll⬇️
3:"...post a bit later as it reveals too much about their position, so for security reasons you'll have to wait a bit. This much I can reveal: they have a military dog and IT liked both the smell and taste of the fermented herring.}⬇️

🇺🇦🧵🗣New update from Kenneth Gregg #UkraineRussianWar (1/12) : "The Russians haven't exactly rested on their laurels, but they are still losing ground in the #Luhansk area. Even their attacks on #Sloviansk have been standing and treading water now for a whole week.---
2:"Their morale and equipment are starting to wear off, it's hot and many of the Russian tourists are still in winter clothes. Now our artillery, with western pieces, has also started to cause panic due to accuracy. ---
3:"According to intercepted conversations between Russian soldiers and their relatives, the infantry soldiers complain about the incompetence of their artillery, many of whom have only had 1 week of training before being sent to the front. ---

🇺🇦🧵🗣️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.
