Ukraine reported the downing of 16 Shahed-131/136 kamikaze drones this night. Russia launched drones simultaneously from the southeast and north directions, and tried to use the Dnipro bed as a route. The wreckage of one of the drones damaged an administrative building in Kyiv.

A Russian carriers destroyed. probably destroyed earlier given its rusty state.

On to the general events. I want to start with an update on our fundraiser. We have now been able to provide 6 brigades with various types of ecoflows and a generator.

Total Raised: $9500
Total spent: $7870

Remaining amount is $1630. Check the next post on what we want to do...

The 72nd brigade requested a DJI Mavic 3 drone instead of an ecoflow. It is used to spot enemy troops and to direct attacks. These drones in Ukraine are scarce. About $1500 dollars extra is needed.

Please consider a donation. Thanks 💙💛

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg called on member states to consider the possibility of supplying more weapons to Ukraine.

"I call on the allies to do more. It is in the interests of our security to make sure that Ukraine wins and Putin does not win."

Ukraine received the third batch of Starlink from Poland - they will be sent to "points of invincibility", as well as to support the medical and energy spheres, Prime Minister Shmyhal said.

The Czech Republic will provide Ukraine with 12 more temporary bridges to replace the destroyed ones. Czech activists also raised funds for 15 Victor anti-aircraft systems for the AFU

I am working with @guillaume_ptak on distributing a small video documentary about the front in Bakhmut. Guillaume and colleagues have been staying there recently and are willing to provide this channel with exclusive content. Will be distributed soon!

To the fronts, #Bakhmut

➡️No significant changes
➡️AFU repelled attacks in Bakhmuts'ke, Soledar, Bilohorivka (1), Opytne and Kliischivka
➡️Wagner pushing SE of Pidhorodne (2), making its way to the forest area south of the town
➡️Near Klishchiivka (3) it's non-stop artillery

#Donetsk-#Vuhledar-#Pavlivka

➡️No map changes
➡️In Mar'inka (1) fights keep going. The AFU managed to push back Russia back again a little bit SE near Trofima grocery, but it's all very fluid
➡️Avdiivka (2) now mostly artillery battles
➡️Russia shelled Vuhledar, Novomykhailivka

#Kupyansk-#Svatove

➡️KRAKEN liberated Novoselivs'ke
➡️I adjusted Pidkuichans'k and parts of Kolomyichikha to AFU controlled based on general consensus of multiple UA sources. This puts Russia in Kuzemivka in a bad position
➡️Russia is possibly preparing an attack on Makiivka

#Kreminna

➡️AFU conducted recon north of Bilohorivka (3), actively probing enemy positions near Shypylivka. Russians speak of an upcoming attack.
➡️AFU repelled an attack on Chervonopopivka (2)
➡️South of Kreminna.... (1) let the AFU do their job 😉
