#Russia's daily losses continue to creep up.
670 more soldiers losing their lives needlessly and at some point today the 185,000th troop will be killed in #Ukraine fighting a non-existent cause for a regime in Moscow as sick as Hitler's Nazis.
Fuel tanks destroyed high again.

Overnight #Russia launched another drone attack, this time in the #Dnipropetrovsk region.
All six attack UAVs were shot down.
So far at least relatively few reports of attacks on population centres today.

The renaming of #Russia's forces is the rather mundane daily update from London on the war on #Ukraine.

It's reported that the latest round of sanctions on #Russia has been drawn up by the EU Commission.
Contents may be made public today but it's believed #Germany has been pushing for restrictions in the nuclear energy sector.

In case you missed it last night. This was caused a flood of memes in #Ukraine about UFOs being shot down and aliens siding with #Russia!
A meteor lit up the night sky and cause a huge explosive roar.

#Ukraine still holds the western part of the town in #Donetsk. Relatively few troops are there and they are rotated often to keep them fresh. Almost like a small attack force, they go in, attack #Russia's positions and move out 3-4 days later.

Last night I posted a photo of damage in #Vuhledar but wasn't sure it was new.
Now soldiers of the 72nd OMBr. have confirmed an airstrike by #Russia demolished the residential block in the town. They released these photos and wrote about "the deaths of peaceful people."

Earlier state news agencies in #Russia reported a UAV crashed in a parking lot of an airport in #Pskov.
No explosives were attached to this drone and it's thought it was gathering surveillance data, but they do not ouright blame Ukraine for this one.

#Ukraine's investigating after an unauthorised plot went wrong.
Various personnel thought a pilot in #Russia would defect + fly his plane to Kirovohrad region. But Russian found out and bombed the airfield, killing 1 person and destroying 2 jets.

This one's interesting - an electronics factory is on fire in #Moscow.
The "Kvant" complex on the outskirts of #Russia's capital reported a blaze on the second floor. The building was evacuated. They produce TVs for Chinese companies but could help the war effort

#Switerland has imposed sanctions on #Wagner
The 'neutrtal' country has also taken action against the "news agency" RIA FAN, which is owned by Wagner's founder Yevhen Prigozhin. The Swiss realised it's spreading pro-#Russia propaganda and disinformation.

A 59 year old man's the latest civilian victim of #Russia's war.
He was killed when rockets hit the village of #Kizomys, on the banks of the river Dnipro, in #Kherson region this afternoon.

Yet another apartment block is hit in #Bakhmut.
#Russia recently worked out #Ukraine's tactics so I can write about it now. They'd "let" Russians drive them out of a building, but only after laying explosives. When the maximum number of invaders were inside for shelter, boom🧨🔥

I missed @cossackgundi's original tweet, so thanks to @NeneOriginal for highlighting this.
Just disgusted that #Germany placed an entry ban on Aiden, which prevents him returning to his home/family in #Ukraine.
He's a hero; does🇩🇪 think he's a criminal?

A big explosion in #Belgorod, #Russia tonight.
The Terrorist State reports "a huge funnel with a radius of 20 metres" on a road in the city.
One car seems to have been blasted upside down.
Windows in nearby buildings damaged but no injuries according to Mayor Valentin Demidov.

Oh no, how sad.
Having seen the flagship of its Crimea Fleet sunk in the war, sanctions may now account for the flagship of the Northern Fleet!
The nuclear missile cruiser "Peter the Great" may be retired due to costs (and lack of materials)

#Russia's army doing their best to sabotage the war effort again.
Some kind driver managed to overturn this anti-aircraft missile system near the village of Prudne, in #Tula region. They say it's worth about $160m.
Sadly looks like it may still be usable.
