Might be time for that "you lost another general?" meme Embedded version of the video I posted earlier for those who didn't click through. Worth the watch:

Russian military blogger Anatoly Radov acknowledges the worsening situation in the Kharkiv region for Russian forces, especially near Hlyboke. Ukrainian forces have been conducting counterattacks the past week(s) and Russians are gradually retreating. "Hlyboke, the situation is getting worse. Guys are standing in the village itself, despite the shitty situation," he said. Russia has clearly improved training for its airborne units

Great Britain did NOT give permission to use Storm Shadow missiles deep into the territory of russia, — The Telegraph The new Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that his policy has not changed on this issue. But he clarified that there is permission to attack Crimea. But strikes against the russian Federation, in his opinion, can lead to escalation. The most disgusting words in the last 28 months: escalation, condemnation.

After the attack on the Okhmatdyt children's hospital, a Russian pilot contacted Ukrainian military intelligence and passed on data that helped identify 30 commanders of the Russian heavy bomber division, according to sources of @pravda_eng in Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate. He wrote that he was shocked by the attack on the children's hospital, so he decided to hand over to the Ukrainian side documents related to the activities of his military unit, as well as private photos of the command staff of the 22nd Heavy Bombing Aviation Division. The array of information includes documents from the personnel files of senior officers, personal data of Russian military personnel and their families, etc.

Wow. I hope someone came to rescue them

Fascinating example of disinformation coming out of Ukraine today. The disinformation narrative is that it wasn’t Russia who bombed the hospital; it was a misfiring Ukrainian missile. Fortunately, the fact that Jackson Hinkle is saying it is an easy way to prove that it’s bullshit. Around 40.5% of his followers are fake or bot accounts, by the way. He’s simply a Russian disinformation super-spreader account. I’ve written an extensive analysis of how his account is amplified by bots on my S*bstack. I’ll drop the link in the replies, or it’s in my bio.

Argentina has decided to send weapons to Ukraine, as stated by its representative at the Latin American Right-Wing Congress in Brazil. Defense Minister Luis Alfonso Petri emphasized the importance of supporting countries fighting for their freedom and democracy. Additionally, Argentina will participate in the peace summit in Kyiv.

This makes a lot more sense. Well done. Ukraine says it fooled Russia into striking fake planes and air defense systems with Iskander-M ballistic missiles https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraine-says-fooled-russia-strike-fake-targets-iskander-missiles-2024-7

From an area we haven't heard much about recently

I don't really know what I'm watching, but it's hilarious

Wow. ⚡️‼️ The secret of why Kyiv was not taken in three days was finally revealed by Putin! He said that when Russian troops were standing near Kyiv, the Western partners asked Russia to cease fire. And it did. But the Ukrainian Armed Forces did not. Russia was deceived, says Putin. Therefore, Putin continues that Russia, the aggressor, "simply cannot declare a ceasefire right now."

Tangentially relevant because if they're willing to ship drones to Libya, there's no doubt they are assisting Russia militarily Edit - translated:

House divided

Same "journalist" that "released" that fake Bugatti purchase by Zelenski's wife.

BREAKING ‼️The 83rd Guard Assault Brigade, which is surrounded in Vovchansk, has its commander arrested RUSSIAN Colonel Gorodilov has been arrested for fraud on especially 'large scale'. Accordingly, 'military impunity often tempts morally unstable commanders with the possibility of quick enrichment. In any case, if this is the case, then this is not the first time.'

Haha. I usually try to keep the valence the same to alleviate the same dissonance I experience, but sometimes a spare bit of info gets mixed in with the positive/negative.

Orc tells how Ukrainian partisans are killing his comrades in the occupied territories: “Our soldier was walking alone, then in the morning he was found dead behind the bridge... We had cases when we were forbidden to move alone, even with weapons, because two of our soldiers were killed, their legs were shot and their throats were cut. There was another incident when an unknown person drove up on an ATV and opened fire on us. And there are many such cases...” The invader said that the partisan underground in the occupied territories is working in full swing, because of this, the commanders forbid them to communicate with people, and the occupiers themselves are afraid to walk at night. Seems like some bad news ahead We've seen no geolocations to prove these yet, but some dangerous ones from DeepState's map, showing some very bad things happening for Ukraine's front line right now. 1) Toretsk / Niu York in severe trouble with large Russian advances into the area which had been unmoved since 2022 2) Large Russian advance claimed into Makiivka in Kharkiv/Luhansk cutting the road 3) Sokil and surrounding areas captured by Russian forces So we'll see if they're reacting to rumour, or if geolocations will emerge over the next few days.
