🇺🇦🧵🗣️Yet another report from Kenneth Gregg #UkraineUnderAttack issued yesterday evening (1/6): "It has been a day when the Russians have NOT ADVANCED a single meter. However, we have countered all their attacks and caused the tourists stinging losses. ⬇️
2:"In the following places there is no more Russian domination, i.e. we have taken back ground: at #Vyskopillia (Kherson region) we have now cornered the Russians in an area 5 km long and 3 km wide, they are basically surrounded and they have up to 1000 men in this small area.⬇️
3:"At the Marinka-Oleksandrivka line we have also pushed them back and consolidated our hold on the road going to Donetsk. In other words, we have pushed them back in an area that has been occupied since 2014. It is a matter of a small piece of land but it is now the first time⬇️
4:"...since 2014 that we are taking back some land.
At Spirne-Berestove we have pushed them back 1.5 km on a stretch of 6 km.
We are beating them back at Kherson and Donetsk region.
⬇️
5:"Regarding the artillery, the Russians have fired the most in the Donetsk area but the intensity has dropped by 50%. We, in turn, have today shelled the entire Kherson region down to the border with Crimea. As usual, when the Russians get their share,⬇️
6:"...they send missiles against the whole of Ukraine, as they did today.
Small progresses, yes, but a groundbreaking trend as we took back area today and did not lose a single meter. #SlavaUkraini "/🚫

🇺🇦🧵🗣️Another report from Kenneth Gregg #UkraineUnderAttaсk : (1/15) "This morning, starting with the activities of the Russians, we can now conclude that #Bakhmut is certainly their big target. On the #Bakhmutske-#Semyhiria line they attack with everything they have. ⬇️
2:"Most of the fighting is over open fields and small groves. In this area it is still about 10 km to our main line of defense. North of Bakhmut and around #Sloviansk they have not advanced at all - on the contrary they are being pushed back in these areas.⬇️
3:"A worrying trend the Russians show is that they have started to use Ukrainian uniforms (Nato standard) with our recognition marks. This is a war crime, but what can you expect from Russians?
So to the our successes before I bring up the 'Forgotten Kharkiv'.⬇️
🇺🇦🧵👥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.}⬇️
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 ➡️
🇺🇦🧵🗣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 -->
