Russian channels are bouncing around a video of them talking to an unarmed man in fatigues (who says he's Ukrainian) and then shooting him.
I haven't traced this video back to the original source so can't tell if it's staged. But there are many many videos of russians executing surrendering Ukrainians in the field where the timing and location proves it's real. In one famous case they filmed a guy whose last words were "Slava Ukraini". From the video he was quickly identified and confirmed to be a missing Ukrainian soldier. They murdered him on video.
The Russian army is a disgusting war crime machine. The higher leaders don't do anything to stop the murder and torture of POWs. There is no comparison between Russia and Ukraine, the decisions we should take are simple black and white.

Ukraine sent the elite 3rd Azov Assault Brigade into the Toretsk direction and they pushed the Russians back. This is just north of Pokrovsk, the current worst area.
From Ukrainian military source who's been reliable so far:
"The situation before the boys entered was almost catastrophic, the enemy occupied New York and advanced to Toretsk. After carrying out certain stabilization measures, the boys recaptured part of New York and generally put an end to the enemy's advance in the direction. The guys really saved the direction with their own efforts and still even help their neighbors.
You know, there are many situations when a media and elite unit enters the direction and does not live up to its expectations, but here the boys should be given credit, they worked on "excellent". The losses in the units are minimal, I haven't seen such losses in hot areas for a long time."

When I post about places; how do we know where each side is? Russia says it occupies the town of Niu York while Ukrainians say they counterattacked and retook some of it.
Ukrainians posted a video showing their flag, and "geolocation" people easily worked out that it's in central Niu York and obviously the video was taken after the damages we see in the video. They know when major damage was done and can work out if a video is recent or old from that.
It seems unlikely that Russia controls the whole town like they say if there's a Ukrainian flag flying in the middle of it. But all this proves is someone installed a flag sometime. It doesn't prove Ukrainians actually control that building because maybe they went in and then left.
Anyway I thought it was interesting when I followed and learned how the open source people do the mapping. I rely on them a lot.

Russians keep building pontoon bridges in Kursk and Ukraine keeps whacking them. Ukraine cut all the bridges to a region and there are russians trapped with only pontoon bridge resupply.
Sadly the Russians made it off the bridge this time before the missiles rained down this time.

Funny that's a talking point funded by the Kremlin. Ukraine is stopping US/NATO/other European soldiers from having to fight. And Ukraine's alternative is to be a slave colony for Russia. Ukrainians have picked freedom, and they're fighting like hell for it.

Russians said their air defences shot down everything and a bit later that a Ukrainian drone (which was shot down) fell on top of some ammunition by chance.
Satellites show a whole russian ammo dump burning.

Conservative estimates by the experts, There not stopping anyone fighting they are causing more, If Ukraine had picked freedom they wouldn't have carried on murdering the ethnic Russians in the Donbass which caused the Russian invasion after been asked for help by the Donbass people

Classless brainwashed simpleton Coming from someone who suggested that Ukrainians should run away from the Russians to save themselves, and then going on to call someone classless is a bit rich.

Then go look at anywhere inside any Ukrainian city inside russian range. How many Ukrainian civilians died to military weapons in 2021? How many died in 2022?

How many civilians were killed in Donbas by the russian invasion in 2022? How many were killed in Crimea in 2014 when Russia annexed it against "the majority" of Crimeas interest. I know alot of people were dying in protests around that time. So presume there must have been 1000s of deaths when these Ukranians were fighting against becoming a slave colony. Especially with so many Ukranian military personnel and police in the area too. Must have been a very bloody battlefield. And then God knows what happened to all the government officials based there too. Presume there were mass murders and they were replaced with Russian puppets.

This graph shows the sign up bonuses for russian soldiers from major regions. Putin decided he didn't have enough meat, so now the regions have to pay 2 million rouble signup bonuses. About £17k.
He's forcing the regions to pay so that the federal budget looks better. The federal bonus is extra but it was 195k roubles until last month. I think it's around 400k now.

Russians took a picture of a Ukrainian soldier rescuing a Ukrainian child from Irpin in 2022 and pretended it was a russian soldier then posted it on a billboard.

This is terrifying. NATO countries keep signalling weakness. It's a flashing green "go" signal to Putin - if Ukraine is forced to capitulate then we can expect preparation for another russian invasion and a tidal wave of millions more refugees flooding into Europe, plus China to invade Taiwan.
Unless countries like Ukraine, Taiwan, S Korea etc get their own nuclear weapons of course.

This map shows where Ukraine's "dragon fire" drones have been seen.
They spray thermite right into treelines and trenches below them. Terrifying.
People are going crazy about them but personally I think the spy drone hunting is more exciting. If Russia loses most of its recon drones and Ukraine doesn't, then that's an enormous deal.

View of a dragon fire drone.
I don't think that's the official name and I'm not sure if they're actually effective, but they look terrifying.
Some people are worried about using thermite since it does nasty things to people. Russia has been raining it onto towns since 2022 but this is the first mass use I've seen by Ukraine. From what I've read, using it specifically to target military positions might be fully legal, and that's what Ukraine's been doing.

Multiple senior russian figures have said that Russia refuses to negotiate until Ukraine withdraws from russian territory.
If Russia withdraws from Ukraine: there is peace tomorrow.
If Ukraine withdraws from Russia: Russia continues their brutal war of conquest, slaughtering Ukrainians.
This situation is not fucking "BuT BoTH sIdEs".

US now joining other sources in saying Iran has sent ~200 ballistic missiles to Russia.
They'll probably send a stern letter or something. The real answer is to give Ukraine JASSM and ATACMS and permission to destroy russian military and logistics targets in Russia.

Those drone attacks on Moscow should continue as frequently as possible.
It’s a real pity this wasn’t permitted day one.
