Based on record-distance Molniya drone strikes from 14 April on the village of Vysoke, the recently-rotated 337th VDV regiment of the 104th VDV division could be responsible for today’s murder of a 14 month-old child, Dmytro, in Pravydne, Kherson.

I’ll explain in a short thread. In the Kherson direction, Molniya’s are exclusively employed by VDV units and Naval Infantry. I personally believe the common denominator is the air assault component of both VDV regiments and the air assault battalions included in each Naval Infantry brigade. 📸 @battle_order Image

Kherson Weekly Special

Let’s dive into SUETA's personal background to get a fuller picture of who exactly this war criminal is, and then we will review his connection to the KHABR Group, accusations of fraud against him by his former comrades, and the brand new unit he is serving in now. Image

Kherson Weekly: 08-14 Feb

This week's post is a bit different.

As an American, I am outraged by the gutting of USAID, as I know that #USAIDsaves. So I aggregated 50 USAID programs/deliveries/consultations from the Kherson Admin during the #HumanSafari to show the true impact. Image #USAIDsaves

Between June and the slashing of USAID's staff this year, during one of the darkest times in Kherson's history, USAID's vital support allowed residents to repair damaged homes, restore the power grid, restore drinking water access and irrigation systems for farmers. Image

Data: @AndrewPerpetua

1/ Two weeks ago, Russians began targeting the funeral parlor outside Antonivka's cemetery. "Signal," a source on the ground, said that it could be targeting those picking up headstones, or rather it presents an easy stationary training target for a drone pilot's grenade drop.
🧵 2/ This location is the funeral parlor for the larger cemetery in Antonivka. Many deceased military members are buried there, in addition to civilians that have recently died. While posting these strikes, Russian also posted the following video.

Using @AndrewPerpetua's data, I compiled statistics on drone attacks against civilians in three neighborhoods of Kherson: Antonivka, Kindiyka, and the Dniprovskyi district in the east of the city. I wrote an article for my free Substack about it. Some thoughts and data below.
🧵
Image 2/Starting in late-May, we began mapping reports in the suburbs of Kherson of drones harassing and attacking civilians. One such incident from May 26th was shared by milblogger Kot Dobrokhod. A middle-aged man is stalked by a quadcopter drone.
