Russian Telegram channels spread what they say is German AfD party 'social advertising', mocking the govt support for Ukraine. The problem is that Russian professional film actors are filmed in it, like this guy, Igor Alexeev () https://t.co/MInrzlhvPH https://t.co/DMYiIlszoLarchive.is/4Qpfu
The main role of the woman who confiscates all the property from the ordinary German family in favor of Vladimir Zelensky is plaid by Russian actress Julia Mandriko () https://t.co/5xHOQXP5Dupcnika.ru/actor/3017
The 'father' is the Russian cinema actor Valentin Vorobyev. https://t.co/06wMAlTnrnkinopoisk.ru/name/3230080/
Quick🧵There's actually a change on the ZNPP satellite imagery taken on July 5th and published by @planet: new objects appeared on the 4th power unit's roof since July 3rd. https://t.co/qCH0WlSsAh
No such objects can be spotted on any imagery since the start of the war and even earlier. Roof of the power units III and IV are exactly the ones allegedly mined by Russians, according to UA General Stuff. t.me/GeneralStaffZS…
Here's a historical 2017 video of the roof of the power unit IV. No objects like those seen on the July, 5th 2023 satellite imagery can be observed.
🧵/ link in the last tweet. Many of you have seen these Russian fortification lines on satellite images and maps. Thanks to Russian soldiers taking selfies there, together with @pustota, we can now show you how they look from the ground.
You can see a camouflaged Soviet 100-mm MT-12 anti-tank gun and the ammo boxes. Some 'dragon's teeth' are visible in the background. This allows us to geolocate this photo to the N-E of Tokmak, less than 30 km from where the Ukrainian offensive is underway (47.31786, 35.84679)
Here's how this exact part of the Russian fortification line looks on the @planet satellite image:
My personal opinion is that one can't "blow up" the dam like this in the middle of the night with no one noticing a sound. Russians are definitely responsible for the deterioration of the dam, but I seriously doubt they "blew it up". Also, no one will actually benefit from it.
Preventing Ukrainian landing? Come on, even Russia probably was not so stupid to think that the left bank is doomed already after a few hugely exaggerated Ukrainian recon operations involving the small islands and dumps.
Maxar imagery taken shortly before the dam collapsed is only showing that its condition was already deteriorating quickly.
Russian MoD published the video of alleged Ukrainian maritime drones attack on Russian project 18280 "Ivan Khurs" SIGINT intelligence collection ship. The attack claimed to have happened in Turkish Exclusive Economic Zone, 400 kms from the Ukrainian shore. @CovertShores
That's not the first time "Ivan Khurs" makes the news: back in 2020 while conducting routine operations in the North Arabian Sea, the US Navy’s Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Farragut (DDG 99) had a close encounter with this Russian ship. navaltoday.com/2020/01/13/vid…
There were 2 drones which flew from different directions. 1st one caused some fire, second one didn't. Check the clock: 1st one is 2.27, 2nd one 2.43. The video with the people climbing the dome is indeed the 2nd drone (no fire caused).
Video with people climbing also was filmed by CCTV (and the guy just filmed the playback on a screen, so it doesn't say anything about him being prompted to start recording by the 1st drone - but the Spasskaya tower clock on TVC video confirm that this was indeed the 2nd drone).
