Firstly I'm sat in Manchester airport.
I am commentating on a Teqball tournament this weekend. That's great, and lucky for me, this one's in Dubai.
But it means I'll be incommunicado for around 8 hours today, so apologies for the coming "black-out". I will update this evening.

A good crop for #Ukraine in the last 24 hours...
Figures from #Kyiv show some promising figures.
765 more invaders killed and #Russia also lost both a plane and a helicopter yesterday.

I found this amusing from British MoD today.
#Russia has some great new kit... it's just tactically not being used right now!

The death toll in from yesterday's missile strike in #Zaporizhzhia has risen, with two more bodies discovered as emergency workers cleared the rubble.
It's now known that five people died when #Russia fired S-300 missiles at the apartment block.

We know that #Russia lies about pretty much everything, including how many civilians it forcibly mobilised a few months ago (they said 300k).
Well journalists have used data about accelerated weddings to work out the true number, and it was 520,000 in September-October alone.

Speaking of lies...
#Russia says it checked out reports of an explosion and fire in #Moscow region. And there was no fire.
As I said, we beieve nothing (unless the Kremlin denies it).

#Russia has attacked #Druzhivka in #Donetsk region this morning.
It's not known if air defence brought down a missile or if the town was hit, but smoke is rising.

Confusion about what's happening in #Bakhmut after a cryptic message today from the most recognisable #Ukraine soldier in the region.
Madyar/Magyar said his unit was urgently withdrawn from Bakhmut "to a new place of hostilities"

With 12 Russian warships laden with Cruise missiles now lying in wait in the Black Sea, it's always extra worrying when planes take off and the whole of #Ukraine goes into an air raid warning.
The sirens sounded about 20 minutes ago.

An atmospheric, and by now familiar view, for residents of #Kherson.
Yesterday #Russia shelled the region 65 times.
There were 360+ mortars, MLRS, artillery, tanks and UAVs fired at the area.
The residential area of Kherson was hit 4 times
One civilian died and 17 were injured.

Cyril Buyanovsky who's 59 & Douglas Robertson, 55, owned the KanRus Trading Company. They're being questioned over supplying aircraft electronics, contravening sanctions

In occupied #Zaporizhzhia locals who have avoided getting a Russian passport are now finding their cars are being confiscated (stolen)
In #Melitopol and other villages some newly arrived invading troops have demanded families put them up and feed them, according to witnesses.

So while I was offline, the main news and debate continues to be about #Bakhmut.
#Ukraine almost certainly blew up a bridge as a defensive measure while #Russia hit the last main supply route for Ukraine into the town.
I would not be surprised if 🇺🇦 pulls back very soon..

However, #Wagner owner Yevgeniy Prigozhin was almost certainly trying to deceive people in a video urging Zelenskyy to retreat as #Russia had the town almost surrounded.
Analysts say the video was not recorded in #Bakhmut, but the nearby village of #Paraskoviivka

News from relatives in #Russia that virtually an entire regiment of untrained mobilised "cannon fodder" has been wiped out in #Donetsk region
The unit from #Irkutsk had earlier complained about their treatment and command by their new officers in Donetsk

Not directly linked to the war, but it all sort of fits in.
I'm sickened by another terrorist state, #Belarus, jailing Nobel peace prize winner Ales Bialiatsky. He set up the Viasna human rights site. That's the crime he was given 10 years for.

More amusement in #Bryansk.
Locals report explosions.
#Russia's state news agency RIA says it's air defence.
Local Governor says no it wasn't.
Now they decided it was jets breaking the sound barrier again.
In a year of war not once did RU use this excuse, now 3 times in a week

The US has invoked the Magnitsky act to impose sanctions on those persecuting Kremlin critic @vkaramurza
Good. Every ally should use this legislation to do the same.
Navalny gets all the attention, but Kara Murza should always be in our thoughts.

Chancellor Scholz is in Washington to discuss ongoing support of #Ukraine in a low-key meeting.
Meanwhile #USA has promised a new $400 million military aid package. It will include ammunition for HIMARS, Bradley fighting machines + other weapons, as well as armored bridge pavers

Gymnastics governing body, FIG, has extended a ban on athletes from #Russia and #Belarus.
It was rumoured they would follow the IOC and allow them to compete "without a flag". But after the entire Russian men's team bought equipment for Russia's army, it caused a huge division.

Michael, thank you for the coffee💙💛
You guys keep me going!

Another day, more shelling across #Kherson.
Probably not quite as much fire from #Russia today as in previous days.
Here's one pointless act of destruction in the liberated region.
