I tempted fate by saying I was hoping for sleep. Soon enough alarms were sounding in the south of #Ukraine.
Suspected cruise missiles launched from #Russia's Black Sea Fleet, and #Odesa has reported explosions. Hopefully it's just air defence.

#Ukraine: Today's updates from #UkraineWar: 1. UA military says it is advancing in several directions at once in S in #counteroffensive, up to 2 km in each direction. RU counterattack successfully defeated: #tweet100

#Ukraine: 2. N of #Bakhmut, in a series of coordinated attacks, UA have breached several key RU positions & yesterday retook heights overlooking the city. #Prigozhin, seeing RU losses said collapse of RU N flank is "only a matter of time". #tweet100 (Map: @ChuckPfarrer)
1. I don't know what happened to the #IvanKhurs but I know a couple of things. First, it was attacked by at least three drone ships in an area off the entrance to the #Bosporus. Second, early reports claimed to show it with the name on the side. Third, I knew that was likely
2. false because I happened to take a photo of the ship in October and the name had been painted over. So because I witnessed the Russian lies over the Slava Battle Cruiser Moskva, I tend to not believe Russian reporting when it is about one of their ships that was attacked.
3. I concluded that there is a better than 50% possibility that #IvanKurs was damaged or sunk and if damaged it is being towed by the ##Commander back to #Sevastopol. Before the AIS reporting was stopped I made the Commander as making less than 1 knot. Based on a speed of 1 knot
Southern #Ukraine Updates:
Russian sources claim that Ukrainian forces struck a Russian Su-25 attack aircraft over #Zaporizhia Oblast on May 25. isw.pub/UkrWar052523

2/ Other milbloggers amplified reports of smoke near Melitopol and claimed that Ukrainian forces downed the Su-25.
#StormShadow, finally delivered to #Ukraine.
This is a step forward, since now Ukraine is able to destroy targets it could not destroy so far. This applies especially to the bunkers in #Sevastopol but also offers a new (good) option for the #Kerch bridge.

#Pobedobesie is a pejorative term used to describe the "hyperbolic celebrations" of Victory Day in #Russia. This has been dubbed the Victory Cult.

#Pobedobesie includes weaponisation of the legacy of World War II to justify #Russia's aggressive policies and an increase of militarism, using the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany for propaganda purposes.

Some breaking news, we are learning about repeated explosions in #Zaporizhzhia this morning.
S-300 anti aircraft missiles again being used by #Russia to attack civilians, but monitoring groups say one exploded just after launch, before it crossed the frontline.
It's noisy.

The weather has improved in #Ukraine. But though the ground may be drying out a little on the frontline, conditions are still incredibly tough.
Here's the only viable route for #Ukraine to/from #Khromove (then beyond to #ChasivYar)

British Intel today comments on the figures. They are slightly behind the 8-ball because as readers here will know, the trend is slightly up again. But yes, down from the insane numbers when #Russia was launching non stop attacks with cannon fodder.

I'll start in #Russia where a drone "stuffed with explosives" has been found near #Noginsk in Moscow region.
The 3-metre UAV weighing 85kgs "fell from the sky".
Media are saying it's one of #Ukraine's UJ-22 drones, with Canadian M112 explosive charges (unverified)

— shooting from a large-caliber towards the sea;
— reflection of the attack of surface drones (according to the invaders).
— The whole city woke up.

Let's start with strange "goings-on" in #Russia overnight.
It started with what some residents in #Yekaterinburg thought was a missile, but could well have been a meteorite.

In #Moscow there was definitely something unidentified floating above the capital yesterday evening.

1/ Ukraine TVD, 20 FEB-07 APR 23. The past 7 weeks saw a continuation of the Russian Winter Offensive as major pushes continued in Kreminna, Bakhmut, and Avdiivka. Russia made important gains, Ukrainian defenses continue to hold. #UkraineRussiaWar #RussianArmy #UkraineFrontLines
2/ Current weather outlook for the Ukraine TVD. The mud season will continue to impede maneuver, especially in severely restricted terrain. The weather favors small-scale assault forces. Night operations will continue to be difficult.
3/ Operational Terms. To assist in easy of comprehension of the threads graphics, here is a list of commonly used terms and their definitions. (note: I am still refining and updating this list, please bear with me as I do, thank you).
Welcome to Monday's daily thread documenting #Ukraine's defence against #Russia's full invasion.
It's Day 404 of the war.
What a crazy day Sunday was with a high profile assassination, church shenanigans, and then #Wagner "taking" #Bakhmut.
