There is a big chance we will pass the 90.000 tomorrow
Overnight the AFU hit a railway junction in occupied #illovaisk.
🇩🇪 The German MOD will present a proposal to the government to deploy Patriot systems in Ukraine
"Today, I again convinced the German Ministry of Defense that the deployment of Patriot in Ukraine will increase the security of both Ukraine and Poland," the Polish MoD wrote.
Negotiations on Ukraine's accession to the EU will begin in the near future - Minister of State for European Affairs at the German MFA, Anna Luhrmann
Another package, presumably containing explosives, was found at the US Embassy in Madrid.
Biden asks Congress to approve additional $37bn aid to Ukraine, - U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland
Patriot would work best in western Ukraine. This place is ideal because both the Polish border and the territory of Ukraine will be protected at the same time, - the head of the Polish Ministry of Defense Blaszczak.
Germany again announced an aid package and seems to understand Ukraine's need for more aid.
▶️No map changes
▶️AFU hit occupied #Oleshky, #Kakhovka, #Tavriia.
▶️There is a decrease in the number of 🇷🇺 military and equipment in Oleshky
▶️In Kherson, a multi-story building was damaged due to night shelling. Also electricity dissapeared for a while
▶️Russia captured Kurdyumivka and Ozarianivka. Today we saw visuals of 🇷🇺 Wagner PMC soldiers in the vicinity/inside the towns which add up to local sources that told us the towns are lost.
▶️Odradvivka is likely captured, but unconfirmed.
▶️AFU reinforcements arrived
▶️No map changes
▶️Russia restarted firing at #Pavlivka overnight, using incendiary ammution which burns/destroys everything on its way
▶️Russian attacks from the north/eastern part of Maryinka were repelled
▶️Vuhledar heavily damaged due to shelling
▶️Reportedly a Russian base was captured by the Ukrainian forces and this appears to be Kuzemivka. We need further confirmation but initial geolocation indicate two possibilities
The capture of Kuzemivka would pave the way to Svatove as Kuzemivka was a stronghold. Only the small settlements of Kryvoshyivka and Zmiivka are left towards Svatove.
If true, AFU will likely push east of Kolomyichykha to force remaining troops to retreat southeast to Svatove.
▶️Russian sources say the AFU was spotted just 2km south of Kreminna trough Serebryansky forest.
▶️I changed the AFU area of control around Zhytlivka more east. AFU is confirmed present 5km west of the town.
▶️Chervona Dibrova still unconfirmed, but likely under AFU.
