Russian Losses
- Uptick in Russian KIA to 820, one of the highest numbers in a month, possibly due to activity near the Dnipro River or fighting along the Kupyansk to Kreminna front line
- 8 tanks, 12 APVs, 17 artillery systems, 2 MLRS, 1 anti-aircraft system, 17 drones, 19 vehicles/fuel tanks, 5 pieces of special equipment lost
- A Russian BREM armoured recovery vehicle was taken out, which is significant as they don't have many
- Parity in losses between Russia and Ukraine, but Russia lost 5 tanks vs none for Ukraine
- Another Russian helicopter was shot down this morning, 2 in 2 days. Losing the crew is as impactful as the airframe
Strikes
- Explosions reported in occupied Zaporizhzhia and Crimea, including at Dzhankoi which is a key logistics hub routinely targeted
- Oktiabrske in Crimea was hit 2 weeks ago destroying an ammo warehouse near the airfield
- Explosions also heard in Zvotneve
- Blast in Andriivka north of Berdyansk
- Russians shot down drones near Domodedovo airport in Moscow overnight which will make the population jittery, part of the psychological aspect of the war
- The Olenegorsky Gornyak landing ship hit by a naval drone is out of service in dry dock. Question is how much damage and if it's salvageable
Other News
- Professor Fedor Shandor, who gave lectures to students from the trenches, will become Ukraine's ambassador to Hungary. He is of Hungarian descent from Zakarpattia and has been working on Ukrainian-Hungarian relations
- Reports of forced recruitment of Russian prisoners into "Storm Z" assault units, with up to 100,000 listed as part of a "crypto mobilization". Desperate convicts trying to contract HIV to avoid the draft
- Russian mil-bloggers silent on Ukraine's strikes on key bridges in Crimea, likely under Kremlin orders to avoid panic as logistics are hammered
- Russia released a history school book praising the Ukraine invasion, part of tightening control over the historical narrative
- Update on a recon group near Kozachi Laheri: 25 soldiers killed/captured in an ambush including the commander Major Tomov. Ukrainians captured weapons, intel
