Russian 🇷🇺 invasion map 10 march 22, when they controlled the biggest proportion of Ukraine 🇺🇦 (23%)
Unlike some say, their main axis was Kyiv and if they stepped back, it's because they lost at Irpin, Tchernihiv, Nova Busan and Sumy. There was no "diversion".
🧵THREAD🧵1/12 ⬇️
When they attacked on february 24th 2022, unlike their "diversion" propaganda, their main force was positionned north of the country.
5th, 35th, 36th, 41st, 6th and 2nd CAA aimed at Kiev + 29th CAA to divert Ukrainian forces near Rivne-Lutsk.
1st GTA army is aimed at Kiev and Poltava but can't take Sumy and Okhtyrka.
6th CAA (other part) is attacking Kharkiv while 20th CAA targets northern Donbass.
Apart from 8th CAA aimed at Marioupol, there are no new Russian units in Donbass.
LPR and DPR army corps won't attack until 150th Motor Rifle Division from 8th CAA break through Popasna in middle april.
Southern Ukraine is attacked mainly with 58th CAA and elements of 49th CAA. Some units of 49th CAA and 22nd AC waited to be landed near Odessa.
This was probaby the plan :
5th, 35th = take Kiev (west + south)
36th, 41st take Tchernihiv + Kiev (east)
2nd = take Sumy -> Kiev
1st = take Poltava -> Dnipro
6th = take Kharkiv -> Dnipro
20th/8th = encircle Donbass
58th = take Marioupol, Zaporijia + Odessa
On the Ukrainian side, the majority of units are in the Donbass on rotation. Some are in Kiev, 1 st TB is encircled between Nizhyn and Tchernihiv.
58th, 93rd and 92nd defend Kharkiv-Sumy axis.
Many units in Odessa/Mukolaiv.
Why did they lost in Kyiv ?
They broke through ukrainian line between Pryluky and Nizhyn. However, they failed to controll both big and small urban areas like Sumy, Konotop, Mena...
They were always attacked on the supply roads (400km).
When they failed to enter Kyiv in Brovary, they tried many times in the countryside. However, at the end of march, 72nd mecanized brigade counterattacked and regained positions including Nova Busan, pushing back Russian army far from Kyiv.
It was the same on the other side of Kyiv, Ukrainian counterattacked near Makariv and Borodianka, pushed back the Russian from Irpine. It was unecessary to continue fighting there.
And finally, 93rd mecanized brigade lifted the siege of Sumy by taking back Trostianets. It was a clear Russian defeat and their supply lines north of Sumy were endengered.
So there were no goodwill gesture or Istanbul aggreement. Then they took Sievierodonetsk and Marioupol, they sustained a blow at Kharkiv and Kherson and began a new Donbass campain, Bakhmout, Avdiivka and now Toretsk and Tchasiv Yar.
In Sumy oblast, russian 🇷🇺 forces suffered their first "setback" in months, after loosing 2 villages despite massive airstrikes.
Ukrainian 🇺🇦 forces stopped the offensive and are building new fortifications.
However, this is the lone good news for Ukraine.

After months of constant progress in the direction of Sumy city, which started after ukrainian defeat and retreat in Kursk, russian forces have now largely been stopped.
The frontline remains static because both sides sent in new reserves. (via @Deepstate_UA)
Ukrainian forces liberated two villages, Kindrativka and Andrivka from russian forces. This very small victory can be seen as interesting, because it is the first in month, however, the price for it was very high.
Men died, other were wounded, in senseless counter-attacks.
Géographiquement, je vais parler de pays qui peuvent être considérés d'afrique de l'est dont certains sont présents dans la corne de l'Afrique.
L'Ouganda et le Soudan du Sud peuvent être considérés d'Afrique Centrale également, mais je vais les garder dans l'analyse.
1- Soudan 🇸🇩
Guerre civile en cours entre les FSR (arabes de l'ouest) et la coalition autour de l'armée (arabe du Nil, peuples africains). Le Soudan est en Etat de famine et coupé en deux. Dictature militaire.
While massive russian 🇷🇺 airstrikes continue north of Pokrovsk (new maps on the thread), russian forces are now threathening both this strategic city and supply roads to Donbass.
This map I made with @Pouletvolant3 is showing the main ukrainian 🇺🇦 supply roads
Un nouveau rapport du groupe d'expert de l'ONU sur l'est de la RDC 🇨🇩 accablant pour le rôle et la présence militaire rwandaise🇷🇼 et ougandaise 🇺🇬 en RDC
Le Rwanda et l'Ouganda occupent militairement l'est de la RDC de manière directe et « illégale ».

D'après le dernier rapport du groupe d'expert,
« Les dirigeants militaires et politiques de l’AFC/M23 ont continué à recevoir des instructions et un appui du Gouvernement du Rwanda et de ses services de renseignement ».
Corneille Nangaa, chef politique de l'AFC a été mis de côté pour ses ambitions personnelles de prise du pouvoir à Kinshasa, le M23 et le Rwanda refusant de conquérir tout le pays.
Depuis la libération de la ville du sud de l'Ukraine en novembre 2022, l'armée russe 🇷🇺 s'adonne à une pratique morbide.
Des drones russes visent les civils, les poursuivant et les tuant, ici, un camion de pompiers…
🧵THREAD🧵1/17 ⬇️
A partir de 2024, les équipes de dronistes russes ont débuté un ciblage constant des civils ukrainiens dans la ville de Kherson, située sur la ligne de front du Dniepr.
Plusieurs dizaines d'attaques sur les civils sont rapportées presque quotidiennement.
Les victimes sont des civils ordinaires : passagers attendant leurs bus ou voyageant dedans, enfants jouant dans les parcs, bébé dans le jardin de la maison familiale, employés de la voirie, cyclistes, personnes âgées faisant leurs courses et piétons...
