Unbelievable. One was left. #Syria #prison

[Charles Lister @Charles_Lister]

My God.

@clarissaward & her team find a prisoner still in #Assad’s Air Force Intel HQ in #Damascus, abandoned alone in a cell. 2 days after the prison was thought to have been emptied.

Watch this.

Obituary of a regime #syria

[Charles Lister @Charles_Lister]

NEW -- in the space of 15mins (while on a plane), I've heard from x3 major international news agencies who have started writing #Assad's obituary.

Whether he dies or is overthrown, newsrooms are now preparing.

First coalition donated F16 crashed in Ukraine. Not downed by Rus fire but according to #wsj due to pilot error.
RIP also pilot @Moonfish reported killed. https://t.co/OSrXKx9z90

[Thea Pedersen @MlleTP]

RIP JUICE | So sad to read this news about fighter pilot Andrei Juice, whom I had the pleasure to meet in May. He talked so passionately about the fight and the importance of getting F16’s to Ukraine. Less than a week after this became a reality on paper, he lost his life Friday.

[Defense of Ukraine @DefenceU]

A tragic loss. On August 25th, two L-39 military jets collided over the Zhytomyr region. Three pilots of the Ukrainian Air Force lost their lives. One of them was Major Andrii Pilshchykov, a 2nd Class pilot and a recipient of the Order of Courage, 3rd Class, known by the callsign 'JUICE'. We extend our deepest condolences to the families of the departed. We are grateful for their service. They will be remembered both in the skies and on the ground.

Interesting development and announcement. If true => 💪
Reality => 🤔 #ukraine #Prigozhin #bakhmut #WagnerGroup

[NOELREPORTS 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 @NOELreports]

A statement from Wagner PMC group by Prigozhin.

Prigozhin claims that Wagner will leave Bakhmut by May 10 and hand over positions to the troops of the Russian Federation and 'lick their wounds'.

"Because, in the absence of ammunition, they are doomed to a senseless death."
