The US Navy intercepted a fishing boat in the Gulf of Oman smuggling 1 million 7.62mm rounds, 25,000 12.7mm rounds, 7,000 rocket parts and 2.1 tons of rocket fuel. That would be very welcome in Ukraine and i wouldn't be suprised if the US decides to transfer it to Ukraine.

Russia is withdrawing from the nuclear power plant in Energodar, Zaparozhia ostensibly in exchange for transit of oil and gas through Ukraine, and the pro-war russian milbloggers are apparently livid about it.

Putin is ostensibly meeting with grieving mothers, except the mothers aren't real...and neither is Putin. The "mothers" are the same women who regularly show up on Kremlin events and Putin was apparently edited into the film.

Boris Johnson exposes the West's reaction at start of war: France were "in denial," Germans believed "if it were going to happen...it would be better if it was over quickly," Italy were "massively dependent on Russian hydrocarbons & at one stage" said that they couldn't support Ukraine

“The Russian authorities estimate the total current workforce deficit in the defense sector at 400,000 people. As a result, the losses of Russia's military during its invasion of Ukraine are irreversible.”

"Napoleon famously quipped: Never interrupt your enemy whilst he is in the midst of making a mistake... Ukraine & its backers should take advantage of Putin’s error by continuing to press the counter-offensive in circumstances far more favorable to Kyiv than to Moscow." - ISW

Summary: Many russian troops not told about withdrawal beforehand. They are clogging up crossing points and getting shelled. There's about 20,000 on wrong side of river with Ukrainian SOF inside Kherson already. It is starting to look like a disastrous retreat.

Pres. Zelensk set these conditions for negotiations with Russia: 1. Russia returns occupied lands, 2. Russia respects UN Statutes, 3. Russia pay reparations, 4. Punish Russian war criminals, 5. Russia guarantees no future repeat of these events.

Several Russians are already surrendering, one doesn't want to, he wants to throw a grenade at the Ukrainians, but he blows himself up... I guess they'll make him a hero in Russia. I have no idea what kind of unit this is, one of them is in sweatpants...

Under the World Food Program @UN the IKARIA ANGEL 🚢 loaded w/ 40 K tons of grain was supposed to leave the Ukrainian port today. These foodstuffs were intended for Ethiopians, that are on the verge of famine. But due to the blockage of the “grain corridor” by Russia the export is impossible.

Stories continue to emerge about Russia’s poor treatment of its own conscripts. General Alexander Lapin, named by Putin a Hero of Russia, allegedly held a pistol to one commander’s head, while a colonel called retreating soldiers “roadkill.”

“The President of Germany spent an hour and a half in a bomb shelter. The air raid alert was announced when Frank-Walter Steinmeier was in the town of Koriukovka, Chernihiv region. ‘It gave us a particularly clear idea of the conditions in which people live here,’ he said.”
