For everyone who still spreads "doubts" whether it was an explosion in Kakhovka. Norwegian seismic monitoring group Norsar confirmed an explosion at the Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine. jordskjelv.no/meldinger/seis…
Data from regional seismic stations show clear signals on Tuesday, June 6th, at 2:54 local time. The timing and location coincide with media reports of the collapse of the Kakhovka Dam. The signals indicate that an explosion is involved.
Moscovian occupants control Kakhovka dam since 2022. Ukrainian intelligence reported back in October that occupiers have mined the dam. Still, there are Western journalists, who have doubts, about whether there was an explosion and whether it was Russia who blew it.
The dam was constructed during Soviet times in a way to prevent collapse by missiles or shelling or simple landmines. However, during Cold War Soviets designed such constructions with special mining sectors, where one could put explosives to blow it. defence-ua.com/army_and_war/v…

Here is a brilliant explanation by Ukrainian combat pilots and officers from UAF on why Ukraine needs fourth-generation fighter jets like F16 and why MIG29s which we are now receiving from partners are not a solution👇
The Russians change tactics all the time. They make traps. They will send up a Russian jet alone, tricking the Ukrainian pilot into thinking there is only one jet. Then, two or three more will appear either side of it, effectively swarming the Ukrainian aircraft.
As Ukrainian pilots continue to fly Soviet-era MiG-29s, he stressed they can do no more than “hold the battlefield”. Wiping out the Russians, who fly the Sukhoi Su-35s modern air superiority fighter jets and Su-34 bombers, has proved difficult.
My first chat with openai was on F16. First AI was responding like @JakeSullivan46, but after specifying questions, AI started to speak more like @CinC_AFU 👇
If Ukraine received 2 squadrons of F16s block 50 & there would be enough pilots trained & there would be a company skilled to do maintenance of these jets - would Ukraine be able to liberate all its territories occupied by Russia?
A few more questions AI kept talking about peaceful & diplomatic resolutions, complex decision-making processes, etc. Then I asked a simple question: How important air superiority is for NATO war plans?
The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine is the largest public procurer in the country. Most of its contracts are secret & not available for public oversight, even if this is the purchase of food. This creates huge corruption risks, which must be addressed by @oleksiireznikov👇
This weekend @zn_ua published an article by a prominent investigative journalist Yuriy Nikolov alleging MOD purchasing food products at 2 or 3 times higher cost than the market price zn.ua/ukr/economic-s…
Nikolov proves his allegations with a copy of the public contract, yet Minister @oleksiireznikov response is a complete denial of the wrongdoing & suggesting someone is doing an "informational attack" to harm the defense capability of Ukraine pravda.com.ua/news/2023/01/2…
"Without enough armored vehicles, we are losing the best of our best people" - told @andriana_susak on Tuesday." On Thursday she was severely wounded. Her civilian car drow over a mine at the frontline near Kherson. Miraculously she survived but is in a very hard condition.
Broken arm & shoulder, broken jaw, broken ribs, damaged spine, stomach, & lungs. Now, at least @andriana_susak is breathing herself, she is conscious, best Ukrainian doctors are now with her, but recovery & rehabilitation will be long and painful.
This is @andriana_susak presenting a coin made of a destroyed Moscovian tank to @Acosta in September - "I am presenting this coin to senators & representatives in exchange for just one Abrams tank, just for me. I want to be an operator of a modern tank" edition.cnn.com/videos/world/2…
While Ukraine resists russian onslaught and prepares to repel another attack on energy system, betrayal came from the side we didn't expect. @VeniceComm makes recommendations that destroys reform of the Constitutional Court and turn us towards Russia./1
Last week, @VeniceComm made an opinion regarding the Ukrainian draft law on the reform of the procedure for the selection of judges of the Constitutional Court. This reform is the first step that Ukraine must take in order to open negotiations on EU membership. /2
The task of the reform is to ensure the integrity of judges of the Court with the involvement of international experts. We had expected that @VeniceComm recommendations would strengthen the position of Ukrainian civil society, and build on the experience of previous reforms. /3
