The Russo-Ukrainian war started at 4.30 AM on February 27th 2014 when Russian troops took control of the Crimean Parliament building in Simferopol. The invasion of Crimea was followed by the invasion of Donbass in March 2014. The war has been going on ever since.

Russian negotiators told Zelensky’s team they weren’t allowed to discuss reducing the killing.

What Ukraine heard: Putin is enraged and wants the shelling to continue.

Meanwhile Macron is publicly saying the US has stopped supporting Ukraine, and the FT reports Washington throttled Starlink to strengthen russia’s hand at the table.

Putin demands more Ukrainian blood. Washington makes sure Ukraine pays the price for refusing to surrender.

⚡️ Starshield speed restrictions return, hampering efforts to intercept Russian drones, Zelensky says.

"Unfortunately, this is helping the Russians kill more Ukrainians and carry out more accurate strikes against Ukraine," President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

Now Starshield is being throttled in Ukraine. The sooner Ukraine can replace the US system, the better.

Residential buildings are burning in Kyiv this morning following another wave of Russian drone attacks on the Ukrainian capital.

As Ukraine and its partners pursue negotiations to end the war, Russia continues attacking civilian neighborhoods.

This is how Putin responds to peace initiatives: with more drones, more destruction, and more terror against Ukrainian civilians.

[SkyFall @SkyfallUA]

SkyFall is the first company in Ukraine to develop #CASEVAC drones for evacuating military personnel from positions where ground evacuation is impossible.

A @SkyFall engineer personally flight-tested early prototypes before the drone reached the military.

As of today — 3 successful air CASEVAC missions.

Watch the exclusive test flight footage below.

SkyFall — перша в Україні компанія, яка розробила #CASEVAC-дрони для евакуації військових із позицій, де наземна евакуація неможлива.

Інженер @SkyFall особисто проводив льотні випробування перших прототипів перед тим, як дрон передали військовим.

Вже станом на сьогодні — 3 успішні повітряні CASEVAC-місії.

Russia is stuck in its own Groundhog Day.

Wake up. Attack. Lose 2,000+ troops. Repeat. 11 days straight.

Since November 1: minus 26,010 invaders — a whole month’s losses earlier in the year.

A regiment a day, thanks to Ukraine’s drone operators, gunners and assault troops.

OSINT analysts reported fires at Russia’s Novatek Ust-Luga terminal following a drone attack. The incident reportedly affected the major energy export facility in the Leningrad region, raising concerns about potential disruptions to its operations

A Ukrainian detector now tracks the radio net Russia's drones use to dodge jamming

On Geran (Shahed), Gerbera, and Molniya drones, each drone relays the signal for the others. If one drops out, the network finds another route, and operators can correct a drone's flight almost until it hits the target.

The upgraded Pluton now monitors the two main known mesh frequencies, 1.5 GHz and 3.4 GHz, developer Infozahyst told Militarnyi. The company says the upgrade improves timely detection at up to 70 km. Its website already lists that range for Pluton.

The modem behind these links is a Chinese part sold openly, and Ukraine's Defense Intelligence has traced it in a Geran-2 variant.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expects Denmark to provide a radar system for Ukraine's Freyja air defense system, strengthening the country's ability to detect and intercept aerial threats amid continued Russian attacks

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

Not satisfied to shoot down a mere ONE of their own most expensive and rare attack helicopters, Russian air defenses went for the gold, reportedly shooting down TWO of their most expensive attack-helicopters.

Two Ka-52's down.

Russia now has under 25 of these remaining.

Actual footage from Ust-Luga shows ongoing fires at the Oil Terminal. #Russia

Russia’s Omsk now 🔥👀

[🪖MilitaryNewsUA🇺🇦 @front_ukrainian]

❗️The attack on the 🇷🇺Omsk oil refinery has already been going on for more than an hour. Air defense is actively operating over the city, and explosions are heard every minute.

[Bernard-Henri Lévy @BHL]

Still « hybrid » war?

[(((Tendar))) @Tendar]

Ukrainian long-range drones struck the vital oil terminal in Ust Luga, Leningrad region, in Russia.

[Anders Östlund @andersostlund]

Err. You work for Russia.

[Department of State @StateDept]

We don’t work for other countries.

We work for the United States.

Estonia's ex-intelligence chief Kross: The Russian areas behind our borders are pretty much empty, and so is Kaliningrad. Everybody is in Ukraine.

The Pskov airborne division near our border has less than a battalion now. Even those are not well trained — Times Radio. 1/

Viel wichtiger ist, dass dieses die erste große Brücke einer Sackgasse ist. Für den Bereich Nordöstlich dieser Brücke (rot markiert) gibt es keine andere Zuwegung. Die Strecke ist eine der wichtigsten Versorgungsstrecken für die dahinterliegende Öl- und Gasförderung.

That is why Moscow keeps fighting. Not because it has a real path to victory, but because admitting defeat would mean admitting that Ukraine broke the image of Russian power Putin built his regime around.

[WW3finalboss @WW3finalboss]

🇺🇦🇷🇺 BUDANOV SAYS PUTIN HAS REACHED A DEAD END

Kyrylo Budanov 🇺🇦 - "Everyone understands this is a collapse.

Putin has reached a dead end: he can neither end the war nor win it.

Victory is no longer possible for objective reasons.

But to stop the war would mean admitting that Russia is not as strong or as great as he wanted."

Budanov’s point is that Putin is trapped by the war he created. He cannot achieve the victory he promised, but ending the war would expose the failure behind Russia’s imperial myth.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Taps the sign. It’s all so stupid. Russia should have no say in Ukrainian or European security structures any more than a local burglar should have a say in your home security system. Every concession makes more Russian aggression more likely and more likely to succeed.
