I'll start with a couple of curious updates from stories which broke yesterday...
First the case of one of #Russia's richest men who gave up his citizenship saying he couldn't be a part of a fascist country.
But Oleg Tinkov, who now lives in London, has since deleted this post

Next I am concerned about what's happening to the ships which left #Ukraine's ports yesterday despite #Russia suspending its agreement in grain export.
A flotilla of grain-laden vessels seem to have all turned off transponders, either continuing incognito or anchored off 🇺🇦coast

Today sees the new draft for #Russia's army, with newly signed up soldiers supposedly guaranteed not to be sent to #Ukraine.
Meanwhile the forcibly mobilised continue to be well treated! 100s in #Chita were kicked out of a camp into the freezing cold when the Governor visited:

Meanwhile in the very far east of #Russia, more complaints about mobilisation.
This report from Primorye says 3 times more people are mobilised than official figures suggest. Many wives and mothers also complain about illegal call-ups:

Back to the Black Sea and a thread I missed from the FT highlighting #Russia's theft from #Ukraine on the high seas and easy sanction busting
It's proven far too easy for this virtual 'piracy' to continue with the help of corrupt ports and officials.

Of course #Ukraine is already under attack again this morning.
In #Poltava the Head of the region, Dmytro Lunin says three drones have been shot down. However some locals report explosions which seemed more than air defences, and a fire has broken out on the ground:

It's a similar story in #Dnipro where drones were heard followed by some explosions.
Two reports of possible landings of enemy weapons, the first resulted in this fire

In occupied #Kherson, looks like there's another attack on #Russia's police by The Resistance.
The invaders' parking lot at a police station in the north of the city is ablaze. Several vehicles have been destroyed with frequent blasts, presumably from fuel tanks:

Pleased to read this.
I didn't report the original story as it was in Newsweek which, like the New York Times, has become less than reliable.

A 🇷🇺billionaire oligarch's home in #Amsterdam has been occupied by squatters.
Dutch protesters say they are against the war and against the greed of oligarchs.
The owner is Yandex founder Arkady Volezh. As he's sanctioned he cannot sell the property.

A horrible tale from #Kharkiv where a man, his pregnant wife and 4 year old daughter all died.
Police say the 47-year-old man took part of a Russian shell into his yard in #Loziv. He detonated the device (presumably accidentally) and the whole family died.

I was speculating in a chat here yesterday that #Russia used so many missiles in the past week because they knew replacements would soon arrive from #Iran

This news could be viewed as a similar sort of invented story that "allowed" #Russia to invade #Ukraine.
The Deputy Head of #Belarus' KGB, Ivan Tertel reportedly saying "The US 101st Airborne Division, which is planning to invade, has already arrived in Poland."

I'm already think this is hype without real substance.
No other reports or chat but I cannot get hold of my contact in the #Kherson region. Just one Telegram channel. Let's stand this down until further info.

Local officials saying air defence took down all rockets - but they usually say that anyway.
