Before Russia invaded #Ukraine , Artem Moroz would start his day by running. Then the war began.

He joined the military and lost both of his legs in an attack on his unit. He wasn't sure he would stand again.

Seven months later, he was running in Boston.

#Ukraine asks civilians in occupied to #Crimea to avoid Russian military facilities (BOOM). This is 🇺🇦 hitting Crimea with a couple of drones.

It would appear as though the Russian Black Sea fleets entire stockpile of fuel is going up in flames after a Ukrainian drone strike.

Twitter is a fucking shithole. Her bio states she's a 7th grade teacher too.

Not just any old Russian ship. A very special type of Russian ship (see pic w/mini-sub attached)

(Sy Hersch and a host of pro-Russian bots and sycophantic trolls hurt worst)

This morning's UK Ministry of Defence intelligence update on #Ukraine

Regarding Bakhmut:

Ukrainians still slowly withdrawing, ambushing Wagner as they move into the recently abandoned areas. Russians unable to close the circle around the city because of massive losses to the flanking Russian ABN units.

Casualty loss rates are running at around 1 to 5 in favor of the Ukrainians.

Both sides short of artillery ammo.

This morning's UK Ministry of Defence intelligence update on #Ukraine

President Erdogan has had a heart attack. His wife and family members have been asked to come to the hospital.

He means that next week the Spring rains will end in Ukraine and the ground will dry up. This is mostly true.

The Russian ABN units on either flank of Bakhmut are spent and they're not getting any more replacements for troops they've lost trying and failing to surround the city. Also true.

The Russian ammo shortage is real and Wagner isn't the only unit running low on ammo.

Russia just bought several million rounds of ammo from Iran, which has not arrived at the front yet.

And by squealing I mean...

Wagner head Prigozhin's latest video (yesterday) filmed in Bakhmut he says... (roughly translated)

"On 2.5 the last rain should fall for the near future, so a week later the Ukrainians will be able to attack around 9.5.

Despite Wagner's many requests, no one will reinforce the flanks to the city, they are completely exposed.

Don't bring enough ammo to Wagner on purpose."

I won't be reporting much about the day to day goings on in Ukraine.
And you probably will notice that others are cutting back also.
I am still occasionally in contact with a guy there. He is busy, and asks all OSINT, to just cool it with any guesswork about the near future.

Reports after the fact only.

Ukraine Defense ministry calls for information blackout about upcoming offensives.

I'm not saying that Ukraine has begun an offensive yet. That's much to early to call. Nor am I saying where this offensive will take place or with which units.

But something is definitely up. And the Russians are squealing about it.

For over a month now Ukrainian long range artillery has been concentrating on counter-battery fire all along the line. Taking out Russian artillery batteries, logistic sites, and HQ's. All while Ukrainian short range artillery has been pounding Russian attacks along the line.

All Russian offensives ground to a halt two weeks ago, except for Bakhmut where the Russians are still slowly grinding forward inches at a time and losing hundreds of Wagner conscripts at a time to do so.
