Latest @DefenceHQ update: #Russia's "main effort in #Ukraine almost certainly remains its Donbas offensive", rather than reinforcing against the counter-offensive in Kherson. Moscow has had "the most success" in Donetsk recently, but it is still advancing only 0.5 miles per week. 
Horseshoe theory in action: "Progressive International" leader supporting the nationalist protests in #Czechia and their #Russia-friendly demands to cease support to #Ukraine and restore economic relations with Moscow.
#Australia: Peter Seaton is unrepentant over his grim pro-Putin propaganda mural in Melbourne. Nonetheless, it is at least being removed.

Regrettably, the libertarians are at it again: looking at #Russia's attempt to eradicate #Ukraine, it is the (Jewish) President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, they feel resembles Hitler. If these people ever came to power, they would kill us all.
#Germany's public broadcaster @ZDF takes note of #NAFO shutting down #Russia's online propaganda efforts, the relentless harrowing of Mikhail Ulyanov, and @oleksiireznikov joining the Fellas. Misses NAFO's material contributions to #Ukraine, though. zdf.de/nachrichten/po…
Ségolène Royal, a socialist politician in #France and former Minister, who has four children with former President Francois Hollande, wants to give #Putin another chance and worries about propaganda and war crimes by #Ukraine.

#Ukraine proposes #Australia use its army as a "guinea pig" for, e.g. the "Hawkeis" military vehicles. The idea is pitched as a "win-win": helps the Ukrainians resist the #Russian assault and tests out Aussie gear before it is integrated into the ADF. smh.com.au/politics/feder…
#Ukraine captured quite the haul from #Russia

#Afghanistan: A suicide bomber, almost certainly #ISKP, was apparently shot dead by the #Taliban's security forces in Kabul, but the bullets detonated his vest and the explosion killed at least two staff at #Russia's Embassy. bbc.com/news/world-asi…
Goodness. #Russia now recruiting from mental hospitals. Shows the terrible issues Moscow is having with manpower, and doesn't suggest that capability and discipline are going to be much improved.

#Russia's agents signal what everybody knew: the "referendums" to annex the occupied zones in #Ukraine are coming up soon.
