#Wagner and #Russia's Ministry of Defence have "paused their feud" in #Bakhmut according to the UK update this morning.
Yes, the invaders have made a little ground, and that stretches artillery capabilities a fraction, but #Ukraine entrenched in west, fightin in south of Bakhmut

Many are questioning who leaked a "secret" US/#Ukraine document about a counterattack.
My question is "is it genuine?"
It has all the hallmarks of a deliberate leak to mislead the enemy though it doesn't actually name points of attack.

The Terrorist State allegedly moving nukes around the Leningrad region in nothern #Russia.
I cannot verify if this is new footage (weather is a match) and not being a weapons expert cannot say if these are nukes, but I know plenty of you guys will do your stuff in the replies!

#Russia's ruble sinks to its lowest level for over a year.
For the first time since 6 April 2022, a Euro is worth over 91 rubles, a dollar 83 rubles, while the British Pound will get 104 rubles, its highest for 50 weeks.
#SanctionsWork and another oil price fall also helped.

In #Melitopol locals report some distressing developments:
Firstly cancer patients are told they cannot be treated locally and have to go to #Crimea. But they can't go if they don't have a Russian passport and even then treatment is not free and they cannot buy insurance.

Oh, this tweet didn't send. Try again:
Sources in #Melitopol suggest all Russian doctors have left the city and just one doc remains at the hospital.
It could be rotation of the "touring" specialists or, could it be prep for evacuation?

Insurance or sabotage look most likely.

Instead they now try to ban the forum Reddit.
