The @UN stands accused of "yielding to #Russia's threats" for not investigating #Iran's role in the drone attacks which are causing the civilian population unimaginable suffering
Many allies believe Iran's supply of weapons violates a 2015 UNSC resolution

Thankfully a quieter morning than 24 hours ago when those drones were flying over #Ukraine, terrorising the country.
Regular attacks continue though and the General Staff says it thwarted attacks by #Russia in 10 villages and hit 3 enemy control points.

It's seldom quiet on the border though. #Sumy one area often overlooked, but subjected to almost constant artillery fire.
There were 83 strikes by #Russia y'day.
Civilian damage is relatively little, many villages are largely evacuated. 3 houses & a power line damaged Monday

Still frustration in #Kyiv where occasionally power flickers back on, only to disappear again seconds later, as here.
Telegram channels report the metro is not working properly yet this morning either.
75% of the population in #Ukraine's capital still have no heat or electricity

#Ukraine's Southern Command has just confirmed a big strike on #Chaplynka in #Kherson region a couple of days ago.
#Russia's permanent deployment point is said to have been wiped out. Enemy losses "are still being calculated"

My prediction a while ago that #Melitopol' would be the next big population centre to be liberated, looks to be coming closer.
The Occupiers seem to have a news blackout, ignoring recent explosions including two last night.
Locals report #Vasylievka checkpoint is not working

It is speculation but this news, allied to reports from #Novobohdanivka make Melitopol area look like Kherson was 6 weeks ago.
Locals say Occupiers are closing their barracks and loading beds and looted goods on to trucks, likely to depart the village soon.

#Kherson itself remains a daily target for #Russia's army still entrenched across the River Dnipro since the retreat from the city.
Here's a video of new overnight damage in #Kherson.

Many private houses damaged again in and around #Nikopol as #Russia continues to fire from the other side of the river, near the nuclear plant.
At least 20 shells were fired from heavy artillery, but no deaths or serious injuries reported.

Early this morning a strong explosion rocked the town of #Izium in #Kharkiv oblast.
The fire broke out immediately and there's been no comment yet from authorities in the formerly occupied area.

Britain's Intel report today looks at the recent choreographed TV appearance of #Putin.
Quite plausible that now there is no glory Putin wishes to share responsibility. When they lose he will plead that it was "all their fault", but by then the military will be close to a coup.

Looks like we will have to wait until Thursday for the magical total of 100,000 dead Russian soldiers.
The daily #Ukraine estimate of the Invader's losses shows an uptick in equipment losses, especially drones (UAVs) after yesterday's attack.
430 more of #Russia's troops died.

The Resistance in #Melitopol' has a simple message for the Occupiers.
"2-3 weeks" say the new posters appearing around the town.

Almost unbelievably, President Zelenskyy has been in the heart of the battle today, visiting #Bakhmut (RU: #Artemovsk)
The town in #Donetsk has been on the frontline for months with thousands of lives lost on both sides.

Near #Cheboksary a big blaze as a gas pipeline caught fire.
Officials is the #Chuvash Republic say it was a leak (i.e. not a Ukrainian attack) and no-one was injured.

A bizarre "attack" on #Finland's embassy in #Moscow.
A group of young men threw sledgehammers (unknown if they were fake). Some say it was a response to recent "provocations" by Finland.

Large amounts of #Russia's military equipment in #Belarus is being moved south to the border with #Ukraine.
@Belsat_TV published this video but there are other reports too from monitoring group Gayun about the relocation as tensions rise the day after Putin's visit.

In #KryvyiRih today they buried a young family murdered last week by #Russia.
The Terrorist State's missiles hit their home and killed the Korniychuks along with their toddler baby son Artem. Today a procession began at the ruined house.

The exiled Mayor of #Melitopol' claims #Ukraine destroyed a column of Russians in this strike.
There's no proof and it may be a little exaggerated. Ivan Fedorov says the Invaders are panicking and hints 🇺🇦 has fire control over the routes to #Crimea.

Another drone has hit a power facility in #Russia.
This is in #Bryansk, less than 20 miles from the border with #Ukraine. The UAV hit the #Trubchevsk plant.

Some independent media in #Russia reporting three people died in this blast, contrary to the official version.
Mash even names them as Sergey Nikolaev, Aleksandr Maksimov and Yuri Ilyin. They only arrived at the gas pipeline yesterday from #Krasnoarmeysk

A good and simple idea to help ease the energy crisis in #Ukraine.
Every household can claim up to 5 free low-energy lightbulbs. Donated by partner countries.

The Terrorists are congratulating themselves for completing a couple of accommodation tower blocks in #Mariupol'
Seems they forgot how many they destroyed. It will likely never be known how many civilians #Russia murdered here.

They say the video shown is over a week old and 130km from the border.

CNN reporting tonight that Patriot air defence systems will be sent to Ukraine in the next military aid package.
Not sure about the training, but Washington will send JDAM precision bomb kits this week.

President @ZelenskyyUa has probably left #Ukraine for the first time since war began.
Quite a few media outlets in the USA are reporting that the Ukrainian President is going to Washington DC and Capitol Hill.
If confirmed, it shows immense confidence by #Zelenskyy

This unverified video is said to be from #KryvyiRih (RU: #KrivoyRog) after the last missile attacks.
Parents trying to rescue their daughter who was trapped under the rubble. Thankfully they managed to free her.
