Newly mobilized Russian men are showing the rusted AK's they were given.
I guess these work by scratching the enemy and giving them Tetanus.

And an explosion reported inside the building of the "LNR"'s prosecution headquarters in Luhansk. Someone's on a roll today.
TASS reports the explosion was inside the office of the "General Prosecutor of LNR", presumably Sergey Gorenko.
Russian militant channels report now he was wounded in the explosion.

Russia says at least 5 HIMARS rockets hit Kherson's administrative building cluster, with video showing serious damage to the district court building.
Russian state media must make difficult decisions on whether to admit/report on the surge of Ukraine strikes at targets in occupied territories. So far they opt to publicize (hard to hide anyway) but represent the strikes as if targeting civilian infrastructure.
Russian media report the target was (among others) Kirill Stremnousov, deputy head of the the Kremlin-imposed occupation authority. Not surprisingly, he was also an anti-vaccination and anti-mask activist, and had been variously an extreme-right and extreme left figure.

Ex-convict and human turd-beetle Prigozhin, who sued @bellingcat in normal court (and lost) and in kangaroo Russian court (and won) over us reporting he runs and funds the Wagner PMC, here on video recruiting Russian convicts for his "own private PMC" Wagner.
22 yrs of negative selection invariably led to a country where the more brazenly you lie, the more shamelessly you steal, and the more cruelly you kill, the higher you climb on the social ladder. Nothing exemplifies this better than billionaire Prigozhin & his trillionnaire boss.
(apologies owes to 🦘's and dung-beetles.)

My Wagner source: "Hi, by the end of the week Ukraine will no longer exist"
I asked him for an update. Will keep you informed.
He says it's all because of corruption and incompetence in the army ("the mercenaries were scammed of their pay"). But is again very optimistic, says each government corporation and oligarch are told to set up their own PMC for "new stage in October".

"Izyum has been surrendered...and this sadly is not the end"
Desperation steadily seeping in and replacing the "small setback but let's not despair" mood of yesterday.
I don't recommend playing the "Situation is dire" game on RU war/mercenary telegram channels, the hangover will be pretty bad.
It's at moments like this that I pity those who don't speak Russian.

Russian war correspondents report Russian forces are now leaving Balakleya. This is particularly important as the Russian army kept a very sizeable arsenal in this town. Interesting whose hands it will be in tomorrow.
...and the answer is.. ImageImageImageImage
But leave-behinds like these will be much more valuable than any stash of left-over munition. What seems to be a fully functional, advanced 2017-issue Zoopark M artillery detection system.
