The British update concentrates on the #Kharkiv defeat for #Russia. I've seen some calculations that the area won back by #Ukraine is over 8,000 square kilometres.

After the power station attacks, the Head of RT commented "Electricity is a privilege not a right", echoing some EU countries' comments when denying RUS visas
Pres.Zelenskyy made a stirring response: we'd rather be without anything than be Russian

An apocalyptic scene in #Bakhmut (RU: #Artemovsk) this morning.
Heavy shelling again by #Russia on the #Ukraine held town on the frontline in #Donetsk.

With #Russia fleeing from well over a third of the frontline, it's not surprising to see numbers return to something like 'normal' in the daily estimate of losses.
Of course absolutely no surprise in the elections in #Russia
The ruling United Russia took over 80% with a spokesman saying the party was "able to correct the mistakes and improve the result."
There was an unfeasible rise is support in traditionally sceptic Siberia & Far East.

In #Miscow region a huge blaze at a factory
It's in #Volokolamsk.
Rumours the plant makes complements which can be used in weapons. Unconfirmed.
Probably just someone smoking again!

There appears to be more success inside #Luhansk region for #Ukraine.
A flag has appeared on top of another pylon in a village a couple of kilometres over the state border from #Kharkiv region, the second instance in 2 days

A lot of activity reported in #Melitopol today.
This channel reports #Russia's helicopters have been flying low around the occupied town much of the morning - this one over a school.

I saw a large segment of this talk show on Russian TV yesterday. Here's a little clip of it, showing that at least some people are getting the message and prepared to talk about it openly. Obviously this guy got ganged up on, but more signs in #Russia of discontent.

#Ukraine's armed forces hit the #Antonivskyi bridge in #Kherson again!
No doubt trying to ensure any attempt at repairs, as well as making pontoon bridges, are fruitless.

Four people are injured and power is again out in #Kharkiv.
#Russia's missiles hit the Osnovyanskyi and Kyivskyi districts in what's described as a "massive attack"
The metro has stopped, people have to walk out of the tunnels.

17 more municipal deputies in #Russia have signed a public statement demanding that Vladimir Putin resign.
It may fizzle out in to nothing, but the initial momentum is at least continuing.

#Russia has sacked another senior officer.
#Ukraine's intelligence says Lt Gen Roman Berdnikov lasted only 16 days in charge of the "Western Group"
He is replaced by Col Gen Oleksandr Lapin, while Berdnikov's future, who previously commanded in Syria, is "under consideration"

#Ukraine is back in control of the northern national border with #Russia.
"The entire northeast of the #Kharkiv region — from the village of #Vesele to the city of #Vovchansk — was liberated"
Some photos from the "cleaning" - more washing machines left and what looks like a rota

Kremlin mouthpiece Dmitry Peskov has amusingly side-stepped a reporter's question over whether #Putin still had confidence in #Russia's military leadership.
"The special military operation continues. And it will continue until the goals that were originally set are achieved"

A spokeswoman for #Ukraine's armed forces in the south, has confirmed the story I wrote about yesterday, that invaders are trying to make deals to quit #Kherson.

#Ukraine's post office has had a good war, starting with the "Russian warship go f*** yourself" stamp
Now they've issued a commemorative envelope called "Welcome to Hell"
Chief Ihor Smylianskyy said the new design recognises the phenomenal achievement of the army in #Kharkiv

When they told me to watch this video of how a hedgehog stopped an armed vehicle, I was expecting the non living type!
To be fair the spiky creature put up more resistance in #Kharkiv than the Russian army 😅

Earlier today an explosion was reported in #Taganrog in #Russia
Many people retweeted a spectacular video of smoke mushroom clouds against a bright blue sky, saying #Ukraine hit an airfield/planes/fuel dumps etc.
It's not true. Taganrog was cloudy today. Fake & real here:

#Taganrog is close to the border with #Ukraine, and has been used as a "staging post" for those forcibly deported to #Russia.
Today's smoke may have been due to air defence working, possibly downing a drone which crashed to the ground. Here's a video from #Baza TG channel

According to officials in #Belgorod, #Russia, a shell fired from #Ukraine killed one person and injured 4 more.
They say the missile landed just 200m from the border, in the village of Logachevka.
The dead man was an 80yo from #Ukraine and 3 of the 4 injured also said to be🇺🇦

More #Ukraine success confirmed in #Donetsk region.
A 🇺🇦Commander has taken a selfie video at the local government building in #Sviatohirsk (RU: #Svyatogorsk) to tell of the victory in the strategically important town, also home to the sacred Lavra site.

Not all success in #Donetsk today for #Ukraine though.
A blow was struck by #Russia's rockets in #Avdiivka (RU: #Avdeevka). The invaders claim they hit weapons and soldiers in the base.

An explosion reported in occupied #Mariupol tonight.
#Ukraine's exiled adviser Petro Andryushchenko says "Explosions in the Kalmius district of Mariupol around 19:40. The evening ceases to be languid."
No photos yet.
Maybe someone attacked the new monument to Aleksandr Nevsky

In the words of Alex Ferguson it's "squeaky bum time" for Russians in #Ukraine right now.
Many media in #Russia report that 🇺🇦 forces are advancing on #Mariinka as 2 battalions come from #Uhledar. They fear #Donetsk itself can be surrounded.
The so called "DPR" dismissed fears

#Belgorod's Governor bizarrely urged residents of two villages to evacuate tonight.
The settlements of #Zhuravlevka and #Nekhoteevka are closest to the #Ukraine border.
My mind is already thinking #Russia is about to attack one of them to blame #Kyiv.

Another potential problem for #Russia is new aggression between #Azerbaijan and #Armenia
It looks increasingly difficult for Putin to keep both sides happy and the last thing he wants is to have to send "peacekeepers" right now!
Armenia reports bombings tonight
