Yesterday I wrote about two horrific and needless land mine tragedies & already two more today in #Kharkiv oblast.

As I suspected, #Russia's losses subsided a little in the last 24 hours. That's directly due to the invaders' retreat from #Lyman.
However with #Ukraine advances in #Kreminna and #Kherson region, they could rise again.
#Kyiv's forces likely also be suffering heavy daily losses

In the far east of #Russia comes news of the sacking of one officer in charge of enlistment after 50% of those mobilised were wrongly called-up.

#Russia's invaders and collaborators in #Kherson are really worried. The "Deputy Head" has been forced to go and record a video message near the Antonivskyi bridge to tell everyone not to panic!
Kirill Stremousov though admits #Ukraine has broken through one part of the region.

Explosions in #NovaKakohvka right now.
If #Ukraine's troops have advanced south in #Kherson region in the last 24 hours, Nova Kakhovka is the next big town to target, likely about 40km away from the front line in this direction.

More wisecracks from that well known comedian Sergey Lavrov.
#Russia's Foreign Minister commenting "growing threats to people's lives from Kyiv made it impossible for the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhzhia to exist within Ukraine"
Clearly Moscow bombing civilians is no threat?

#Russia's parliament has, in the last few minutes, formally approved #Kherson and #Zaporizhzhia regions joining the Russian Federation.
Of course they have no idea which parts they control, or will control tomorrow.

I think Marochko got in to trouble for the truth, causing panic in #Russia's ranks
Backtracking faster than a Russian tank in #Izium, he now claims "The group of Ukrainians, which had previously crossed the administrative border of the LPR, was destroyed"

So @elonmusk thinks he's a history expert, suggests appeasing #Russia by giving away #Crimea
But he's losing his vote with over 60% disagreeing.
Elon, maybe King George III made a mistake & USA should be given back to UK?
96% in favour of Podolyak's idea

#Russia's FSB has killed people it suspected of being railway saboteurs in Kabardino-Balkaria
They say the "militants" tried to plant explosives near a railway bridge. What's unlikely is the claim they found a submachine gun, pistol + ammo. Sabs are seldom armed with guns.

Oh God he's been smoking something again.
How does he propose to bring back all the murdered and deported Ukrainians to vote? And will he deport the illegal immigrants who arrived in Crimea after Russia's illegal annexation?
Take advice before writing!

Throughout the day a number of small settlements in #Kherson oblast have been returned to #Ukraine control
It suggests to me we could be seeing the start of a partial retreat of the world's 2nd biggest army to east of the Dnipro river. The fresh meat on its way for a fresh🇷🇺push

Whether it was a stray, false flag by #Russia or from #Ukraine will likely never be known. Obviously the Occupiers blame🇺🇦 but there's no reason to target public infrastructure, especially with🇷🇺in retreat
