NEXTA: Representatives of the "Second Army of the World" filmed their adventures in the occupied cities on a stolen phone.
Apparently they did not hear anything about the synchronization of photos and videos.
As a result - excellent evidence for the military tribunal.

Reuters World : Daughter of Russian ideologue killed in suspected car bomb attack
https://twitter.com/reutersworld/status ... cb69VzBXwQ
This news broke earlier today, but is worth having on here as it seems likely it was as a result of the victims outspokenly pro-Putin stance in the Russian media and her father (thought to be the target) an advisor of Putin.

Possibly why the Ukrainian targeted attacks inside Russia and Crimea have been added to legitimate targets in recent times.

Hard not to see this as a bit of self promotion, with Ukraine trying to play down Independence Day, for very good reasons.

KYIV Independent: "We pretty much accept, well, we do accept, the sort of observations of Russian losses to be – if you combine deaths, injuries, desertions – over 80,000 of their armed forces. That’s 80,000 in six months compared to 15,000 they lost in a decade in Afghanistan," Wallace said.

Russia planning for a long war
(though it is possible that this troop increase is just incorporating the LNR and DNR forces)
Either way, its nowhere near enough me to effectively man a 2,000 km plus war front

Re: Russia Invades
The Russian economy cannot afford these non productive jobs, joining the army isn't popular I think it will backfire, more cannon fodder.

Unconfirmed reports of a Ukrainian breakthrough at Kherson
But like all "breakthroughs" in this war, they have to be treated with massive caution, and any advance over the front lines can get stopped really quickly by artillery and small units of tanks, MANPADS and anti-tank weaponry
But the entire Kherson front is completely reliant on supply over the Dnieper bridges, and they are being hit really hard on a regular basis

Journalists being removed from Ukraine front lines…
Sarah Ashton: Kyiv has just issued strict orders stating that no media may accompany frontline soldiers or any military units over the next week in the active theatres of war including Kharkiv, Kherson, or the Donbas regions.
Doing so will result in potential loss of accreditation.

Re: Russia Invades
To be fair, quite often Russian journalists have effectively placed a giant 'here I am' sign over the troops they've been covering thanks to geo-locating.
Also fair to say, all the people saying to posters on twitter who use open source information to make guesses as to what the Ukrainian's are doing getting yelled at that loose lips sinks ships seems a bit over the top. What could really hurt them is happy Ukrainian civilians posting live streams of troops moving past their house.
IMO anyway. Hopefully in about 2 weeks a bunch of Russians are surrendering due to being out of supply. Watching 10,000 prisoners being paraded down the streets of Kyiv would be something fun to stream into Russia.
