In complete contrast to yesterday there is very little news to report.
This in itself has to be good news with not a single report of missiles or shelling so far and it's almost 6am in #Ukraine.

The de-Nazification/russification of #Ukraine continues.
In liberated #Izium 19 streets have changed names to shed Russian links. The town in #Kharkiv now honours Steve Jobs and Golda Meir instead. Meir, the 4th Prime Minister of Israel was born in #Kyiv.

But #Russia is throwing more and more troops at the eastern front.
#Ukraine's government has reiterated Putin is desperate to take all of #Donetsk by the end of the year.
Towns like #Lyman are seeing an increase in artillery.

#Ukraine says that the Occupiers will soon forcibly evacuate #Enerhodar.
Buses are prepared by Russia to move residents out of the town best known as the home of Europe's biggest nuclear power plant.

Three tweets back I wrote about #Russia throwing more and more troops at the eastern front.
British Intelligence says at least one unit is unlikely to be 'combat ready'

Losses at the eastern front continue to be huge. According to Kyiv's figure, #Russia saw another 620 troops killed in the last 24 hours.
Little equipment lost, but tomorrow will likely see the milestone of 2,000 artillery systems destroyed.

A morning shout out to Juta for a generous donation to my "KoFi" fund. That will keep me going today thank you very much ☕💙💛
More extraordinary takes of looting by #Russia's rabble of an army.
Chechens are said to be stealing literally anything, including mobile phone masts, as they move through villages in #Zaporizhzhia oblast.

More proof of dissatisfaction with the war (oops, 'special operation') in Moscow
After just a month, Col Gen Sergey Kuzovlev has been sacked as Commander of the Western Military District.

A respected Ukrainian journalist, with over 200k subscribers to his Telegram channel, claims the strike on #Russia's Engels air base was far worse than admitted
@VolodymyrZolkin says
The control tower and 5 bombers were damaged.
17 Russians died with 26 wounded, 3 seriously.

Perhaps the most shocking thing you will see today.
In #Russia a woman who still has her own mind questions the propaganda on TV and will to fight.
In a scene straight from Orwell's 1984 the woman is then dragged on the floor and thrown off the bus

Unconfirmed reports of an explosion in occupied #Melitopol'
#Ukraine's Intelligence Service says it has seized the property of Russian/Uzbek oligarch Alisher Usmanov.
Over $50m worth has been frozen. Usmanov is best known in the UK as former co-owner of #Arsenal football club.

Also an unconfirmed blast in another part of #Zaporizhzhia. This time in the village of Tytove, which is about 60km north of the resort/port of #Berdyansk.
Some say it was the local HQ for #Russia's invaders.

The Chair of #Germany's Defence Ctte slams Chancellor Scholz for refusing to give #Ukraine leopard tanks.
Ms Strack-Zimmermann says "it's not only incomprehensible, it's alarmingly short-sighted. I'm so sorry for the excuses. Why we can't deliver tanks?"

De-Russification continues in #Dnipro, though most Ukrainians now call it 'deNazification'
Yesterday the monument to Gorky took a tumble. Today a statue of Soviet pilot Valeriy Chkalov was brought down.

The RU command has retreated 10km east to #Rubizhne, which looks like this now:

Lovely tale spotted by @CarolynnePries1 here.
A woman secretly continued to make jam in #Kherson throughout occupation, hiding it from Russians and was able to fulfill her dream of giving it to #Ukraine's Defenders.

Another #Pushkin monument in #Ukraine is removed.
A bust of the poet was on the front of the #Chernivtsi Music & Drama Theatre until today. It's being moved to the theatre's warehouse.
I find it sad, but understandable, because of 10+ years of hateful brainwashing by Putin

Why we can "expect more BOOM BOOM BOOMS"
As I reported previously in these threads, #Russia's air defence inside its own borders is pretty useless. Most of the gear got sent to #Ukraine as they arrogantly thought they wouldn't need to protect sites in RU

It's still not entirely clear what happened in the earlier explosion in #Melitopol'
It happened on Universitestka Street and a roadblock remains in place since the incident. All documents are checked by the illegal Occupiers.

In #Odesa, air defence has shot down two reconnaissance drones - no reported damage.
Meanwhile many reports of explosions in #Kherson oblast again today.
The city itself has been hit just minutes ago, while Beryslav and occupied towns of Hola Prystan and Kakhovka are also struck

In #Mykolaiv (RU: #Nikolaev) there's danger even when there are no Russians nearby.

#Ukraine's General Staff claims #Russia, after heavy losses, is now suffering from desertions in #Luhansk. Ukrainian troops have advanced to the outskirts of #Kreminna
In the last day they say they hit a 🇷🇺Command Post, 6 enemy bases of manpower and equipment plus an ammo depot.

Predictably, #Putin signed a decree refusing to sell oil to any nation which agreed a price cap on oil or derivatives.
The market price of oil has today gone up by about 1.5%

Very heavy shelling in #Kherson city today as well as just over the water on the left bank.

This edition comes from the outskirts of #Yekaterinburg. A hangar in a shopping complex was razed to the ground in the village of #GornyShchit
Emergency services say they managed to stop the fire spreading, but no word on injuries.
No signs of sabotage here.

Nothing to see here... Just a couple more mega rich oligarchs dying in mysterious circumstances within 48 hours of each other.

I was hopeful #Ukraine would be in a position to take back #Melitopol in 2-3 weeks. But #Russia has since transferred loads of equipment to protect the town, though that will leave them shorter elsewhere.
Today 100 pieces left #Mariupol, heading to Berdyansk then Melitopol'

Heavy artillery strike(s) in #Kostohryzove(RU: #Kostogryzovo) around 30km south of #Kherson.
The small occupied town has (had?) a strong contingent of Occupiers, including officers.
Meanwhile more Russian strikes on #Kherson city also recorded in the last hour.

Annoyingly, having checked out a post from yesterday, it turns out some pro-Ukrainians faked a story which went viral
There was a video of a 4x4 with a Z being torched "in Donetsk"
It didn't happen. Someone tampered with the original in Murmansk in March

Another day ends with a gas problem in #Donetsk oblast. A pipeline in #Kharkiv, which feeds the region, has been damaged.
But in general, with the exception of #Kherson, it's the quietest day of the 307 in the war so far.
Good night one and all.💙💛
