After yesterday's events in the White House, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway's largest marine fuel companies, appears to have announced that it will no longer refuel American Navy vessels.

Haltbakk has called on other European companies to refuse service to American forces. Image
The shutdown may have already affected USS Virginia (SSN-774), which attempted to refuel in Norway today but turned around.

(The Virginia class requires some marine diesel for its Caterpillar model 3512B V-12 auxiliary generator).

Of note, Haltbakk Bunkers is a wholly privately owned company, owned and controlled by Gunnar Gran.

Couple of notes:

CEO Gunnar Gran confirmed to Kystens Næringsliv that the post is real, saying: "not a liter will be delivered until Trump is finished"

MMSI data shows the sub was USS Delaware (SSN-791), another Virginia class sub, not USS Virginia.

Seeing a lot today on Russia's potential breakthrough north of Pokrovsk, so here's a map.

This is a collation of recent Sentinel-2 and other satellite imagery from August 8-10 (methodology below). Topline: small Russian assault groups most likely breached Ukrainian lines. Image
I have generally classified newly burned fields as evidence of shelling.

There is no way to describe the exact side or system responsible, whether it be artillery or an FPV drone, though the date of the shelling is relatively clear.
Airstrikes, on the other hand, are clearer.

These are mostly among Ukrainian-held treelines and in towns, where Russian aircraft hit Ukrainian positions with UMPK guided bombs.

Seen here, a heavily targeted Ukrainian position east of Dobropillya.
