Britain's Intelligence update reminds people that just because #Wagner can no longer recruit bodies (literally) from prisons, it doesn't mean the flow of convicts has slowed down for #Russia.
A different kind of death sentence.

The worst attack I know of on #Ukraine overnight was in #Zaporizhzhia.
3 civilians, a driver and a paramedic were injured after #Russia fired rockets. Locals allege cluster and phosphorous shells were used.

I notice @Philips this week pledged to carry on dealing with #Russia
The Dutch company has stopped supplying some consumer products but says it focuses on servicing & supplying hospital equipment.
The fact that the Terrorist State bombs/loots 🇺🇦 hospitals doesn't seem to matter

Many media devote a lot of attention to President Zelenskyy's comments saying they need more time to prepare for the counter-offensive, and #Ukraine "would lose a lot of people" if it attacked too soon.

This is correct, but the point is it seems to me Philips uses "healthcare" as an excuse.
Its Russian website still advertises lighting, sound solutions, automotive products and video screens etc. Not helping kids with cancer, but giving $$ to Putin's war

Unconfirmed reports from #Bakhmut' that #Russia's troops have left the villages of #Bohdanivka and #Khromove west/north-west of the town.

Yes! This entirely made-up story is being pushed aggressively in the last 24 hours. It's a co-ordinated attempt to rewrite history.
No coincidence it's happening right after the EU announced war crimes investigation into the crime of aggression.
