#Russia #Ukraine #Navy
@CovertShores Update:

Local sources are now reporting that the fire was caused by the 'accidental detonation of an S-300 missile'.

#Russia #Ukraine
Confirmed: the local area has been completely evacuated.

This response to the fire would suggest that the damage caused is significant or that further explosions may occur.

1hr until Putin formalizes the illegal annexation of four Ukrainian regions.

We will provide live updates & translations on the event & his speech.

Nothing that is said or written today will change the fact that Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk & Zaporizhzhia belong to 🇺🇦.

#Ukraine
The Russian imposed heads of the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions have arrived at the Kremlin for today's annexation ceremony.

Despite their smiles, none of these men fully control their respective regions, with Ukrainian counter operations reclaiming more land each day.
Russian officials are now gathered in the main hall, awaiting Putin's speech.

Amongst them, the four heads of the regions to be annexed and Ramzan Kadyrov.

PUTIN'S SPEECH:

According to Russian state channels, Putin's speech has been delayed by an unspecified period of time.

We will be providing updates throughout his speech.

#Putin #Ukraine #Russia
Russian sources have confirmed that Sergei Shoigu will also be making a speech this evening.

A joint event is considered unusual by Russia watchers.

#Putin #Shoigu
Igor Girkin, a former 🇷🇺intelligence colonel & commander of separatist forces in 🇺🇦, will be offering his analysis of Putin & Shoigu's speeches on state TV.

Until now, Girkin was not allowed to feature on state media. His inclusion demonstrates a radical shift in 🇷🇺's narrative.

▪️ Many 🇷🇺units are complaining of a sudden increase in 🇺🇦air power.

▪️ Although 🇷🇺has never achieved total air superiority, it has been dominant and its forces have grown dependent on air support.

▪️ However, a recent surge of 🇺🇦air assets is severely limiting 🇷🇺operations.
According to Russian sources, a unit moving to engage Ukrainian forces at Balakleya was stopped at Volokhiv Yar and destroyed by Ukrainian artillery.

We are working to verify these claims.
Ukrainian artillery is now engaging Russian positions at Kupyansk. Image
