Ukraine has now destroyed 10k Russian tanks during this war, according to this tally by the Ukrainian government.
And another 1,170 lucky Russians brings the grand total of casualties to more than 850k.
And another 24 officers will need to be replaced.
The Afipsky oil refinery in Krasnodar was hit again.
It is getting hard to keep up with Ukraine’s attacks on Russian targets within Russia — and that’s a good thing.
Some more good news from the area south of Pokrovsk.

The AFU has reached the western outskirts of the village of Pishchane south of Pokrovsk based on new footage. A MaxxPro reaches the most western outskirts before bogging down. It is likely there are no Russian troops in this village anymore after AFU counterattacks in recent days.

A Russian BMP driver runs over one of the soldiers it just dropped off.
WARNING: Video shows the soldier being run over..
Someone should have told this guy you don’t go whacking live ammunition with a stick or anything else.
WARNING: As you might expect, the shell blows up
Russian soldiers used a railroad viaduct as a base. Ukraine hit it with two French-supplied AASM Hammer guided bombs.
A group of Russians carries out two dead comrades in body bags but they aren’t worried about drones finding them because they have an EW system.
Hopefully these funds are not frozen.

What the fuck does this mean?
Of course, this is the same asshole who three years ago today said that Russian troops would pull back from the Ukrainian border and that Russia would not invade.
Europe decides to play hardball with Russia’s shadow tanker fleet.

🚢 Europe is planning to seize Russia’s shadow fleet after a spate of sabotage incidents. Talks are underway to use legal, environmental & piracy laws to crack down on tankers dodging sanctions & fueling Moscow’s war. Challenges remain, momentum growing.

Transnistria nixes the gas deal.
In exchange for continued gas supply, Tiraspol would have to free political prisoners, keep broadcasting a Moldovan TV channel and dismantle the entrance checkpoints they put up in 2022.

Transnistria has refused the €60million in financial aid from the EU that were supposed to support it through the energy crisis-Moldova PM Recean
One of the conditions for Transnistria receiving the money was for them to gradually increase gas prices for the population to bring them to market value

Kharkiv lives under a daily threat.

This is "Франик," a Kharkiv cafe after a bombing and two months later when it reopened.
In cities like Kharkiv, where the bombing are a daily reality, Ukrainians choose to live and work. It's not easy, but it's a conscious decision to keep going, keep helping, keep contributing–to keep being human

A new underground school for 345 students opened today in Kharkiv.
While it's heartening to see some children returning to their studies after three years of war, it's crucial to recognize that this represents only a small fraction for a city the size of Kharkiv.
