1. Ukraine continues preparing for the offensive by attacking Russian oil facilities in #Krasnodar and military facilities in southern occupied areas.
For several days #Ukraine has attacked #Russianoilfacilities inflicting serious damage on one of Russia's largest refineries. Image
2. Ten strikes were conducted in recent days with about half of them successful and Ukraine has hit and reportedly damaged five facilities in the #Krasnodar region.

Ukraine released results of an earlier reported #StormShadow strike on #Yukivka between #Berdyansk & #Mariupol. Image
3. The strike was on Russian forces housed in a resort facility killing 100 Russian military personnel and wounding 40. Past reporting claimed targets of earlier strikes were high-value like pilots, SOF and Marines. ImageImage
4. Other Ukrainian strikes were reported on #Melitopol #Berdyansk and #Mariupol. The #Berdyansk city counsel reported that at lease five #StormShadow missiles hit Russian targets in the region despite Russian anti-air defenses. Image
4. #Melitopol was hit near the airfield causing damage to the Russian base. Image
5. Also reported that for the past two days Ukraine used #HIMARS to attack Russian positions in #Mykhailivka. Image
6. And in the same area to near the Dnipro, Ukraine used HIMARS to destroy bridges and roads and focused on the connection between #Vasylivka and #Dniprorudne. Image
5. HIMARS strikes were also reported to the north in #Almazna in the #Luhansk region and in Image
6. #Horlivka in the Donetsk region. Image
7. Many Russian and Chechen units are on the move and have made convenient targets for Ukrainian strikes. There are new Russian motorized rifle and airborne units deployed from #Svatove to #Bakhmut's northern flank and #DPR forces from #Avdiivka and #Vulhledar are
8. moving to the Southern #Bakhmut flank. #Wagner forces have moved east away from Bakhmut towards Luhansk. #Chechen #Akhmat forces are deploying to #Donbas and reported to be moving to #Mariinka and #Bihlorivka. Also #Akhmat are also reported to be deploying to #Kherson.
9. The recent map shows a fairly substantial increase in Russian forces including #Akhmat near #Bilhorivka. Circled units are all new on the map released in the past hour. I'd keep an eye on this one. I learned during the first invasion #Putin is obsessed with taking #Slovyansk. Image

1. I've thought for some time that #45's obsession with things to do with Iran, especially towards the end of his presidency, were the result of his credible belief that the IRGC would target both #45 and Pompeo for assassinating Qasem Soleimani on Jan 2, 2020. Image
2. When he ordered it, and then like a dope admitted it, I knew they would try to get him. I also think Pompeo made a deal that allowed Iran to conduct the Jan 8, 2020, missile strike that struck al Assad air base that seriously injured more than 150 US military service members. Image
3. But that didn't satisfy Iranian hardliners who still make threats of revenge. Here is today's new State Dept sanctions against Iranians for targeting former US Govt officials. #45 is terrified. I can imagine him trying to make a deal with Iran to get off the Fatwa by Image

1. Schumer offered Debt Ceiling bill motion to proceed and there was no objection. Several amendments are being reported and they are limited. Require 60 votes to pass. 7:30 pm the Senate will vote. Lee, Cain and Kennedy amendments are treated differently. 10 GOP amendments
2. and 1 Democratic. Each amendment will get 10 minute votes so the members have to stay on the floor. There will be a joint statement by Schumer and McConnell put in the record.
3. I missed what the special treatment was for the Lee, Kennedy and Cain amendments. Here is the link to the Senate floor video feed. senate.gov/legislative/fl…

1. I've been listening to @MSNBC and the parade of hosts and guest losing it over the fact that the document that is being shown in the grand jury is an invasion scenario for #Iran. Notably the reporting is that it was classified as 'Secret.' It's critical to understand
2. where this information came from, how the persons disclosing it obtained the information and why it's more than likely that this is a "Goldilocks" document needed to indict #45 for crimes related to his handling of national defense information including ,but not
3. limited to, classified material. If the guests, hosts or the audience don't know what the term CIPA means, it's the procedural law related to handling classified government information in court proceedings. I concede I didn't know much about it until #45 and his parade of

1. Not the first time we have confirmed the presence of HIMARS in Syria for US force protection. With Turkey's Al-Qaeda and ISIS affiliated allies and the Iranians it should come as no surprise. Here are some of my earlier reports on HIMARS in Syria.
2. In 2016 after we deployed forces to the area around LaFarge and Ain Issa. Image
3. 2017 during the battle for Raqqa. Image

1. Obvious lies cause even the great KGB liar to choke up. IMO other than for projection and deflection of Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilians, I'm at 90% certain it's a false flag is to justify the movement of Russian air defenses to Moscow. Why? Because it's undefended.
2. If you view the Russian democratic partisans' attacks on #Belhorod as reconnaissance-in-force, and then overlay the actual deployment of Russian forces based around Moscow, it would not be hard to imagine that Putin fears Moscow could be the target of an offensive.
3. First, the sheer size of the Russian force deployment to Ukraine is staggering. It has be the bulk of the entire Russian ground force. They've burned up most of their serviceable armor and the pilots needed for air support are being killed in deadly Storm Shadow strikes. Image

1. I don't know what happened to the #IvanKhurs but I know a couple of things. First, it was attacked by at least three drone ships in an area off the entrance to the #Bosporus. Second, early reports claimed to show it with the name on the side. Third, I knew that was likely Image
2. false because I happened to take a photo of the ship in October and the name had been painted over. So because I witnessed the Russian lies over the Slava Battle Cruiser Moskva, I tend to not believe Russian reporting when it is about one of their ships that was attacked. Image
3. I concluded that there is a better than 50% possibility that #IvanKurs was damaged or sunk and if damaged it is being towed by the ##Commander back to #Sevastopol. Before the AIS reporting was stopped I made the Commander as making less than 1 knot. Based on a speed of 1 knot
