NEW: The Russian Northern Grouping of Forces and high military command are likely lying to the Kremlin about the extent of Russian gains in northern Ukraine in order to further the narrative that Russian forces are actively advancing across the entire theater, including a part of the frontline that has been largely stagnant for nearly two years. 🧵(1/3)

The Kremlin is using these exaggerated claims of advance as part of its ongoing cognitive warfare effort to falsely portray Russian forces as advancing across the battlefield in order to convince Ukraine’s partners to abandon their support.

Available battlefield evidence does not corroborate Russian claims of advances in northern Sumy and Kharkiv oblasts.

@JeffAllen329818 @clark_aviation I notice it's flying aa a few hundred feet not 30000 feet, I'm no expert but I presume flying that low means the chemicals are more likely to reach the ground

As a British citizen 🇬🇧 I just want to say…

I am fucking ashamed of my government for weakening sanctions against ruSSian oil.

For what?

Cheap summer holidays.

Fuck that.

Ukrainians are dying so we can take our holidays in peace.

And this is how we repay them?

Shameful.
