Kremlin affiliated media first proudly reported the #Kramatorsk massacre, claiming their missile hit an ammunition train that arrived yesterday evening.
After the appearance of civilian casualties, they started blaming Ukraine.
Same story as with #MH17 in 2014.

Note that they also initially showed the Tochka-U with their claim, minutes before claiming Russian led forces don’t use these SS-21 ballistic missiles.
Also note that the initial source of the Russian(!) attack also works for Russian state news channel “Pervoi Kanal“. So nobody should claim, ANNA and their staff in occupied Ukraine are no official mouthpieces for the Putin regime.

Close air support make ambushes like we have seen them in Chernihiv and alike impossible.
Ukrainians would need to stage more complex attacks with a combination of MANPADS and ATGM to kill air and ground forces.
Such attacks are so far not happening it seems.

Bad news from Donetsk oblast where Russian forces are advancing north of Avdeevka.
They captured three villages over the past 24 hours (Troitske, Novoselka & Novobakhmitivka) and are fighting at the entrance of "New York".
Ukraine must quickly redeploy.

Argh and YEAH, I was wrong!
They only captured the eastern train station and the center of the city is still under Ukrainian control.
Deleted the other two tweets. Sorry, but I’m happy now.🤓

The Russian army was heavily hit and decimated while leaving #Ivankiv this night.
Half a dozen vehicles were destroyed at the N-W roundabout alone. Russians left their dead ones behind and fled to Belarus via the P02.

Terrible news from western Kyiv where Russian forces overran the village of Mykolaiv yesterday, allegedly taking 61 Ukrainian POW.
Lots of forced confessions and smearings of Zelensky and so on.
Russia claims, they surrendered, but this is BS. Many are severely injured.

Russia is carrying out nuclear blackmail:
Russian forces captured Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, the largest in Europe;
captured Chornobyl and cut power to the sarcophagus;
may set fire to radioactive forest around Chornobyl;
shells nuclear facilities, such as at Kharkiv.

Because they're stuck in pre-1991 thinking, most Western nations see the nuclear threat from Russia in terms of nuclear weapons.
But Ukrainians have realistic, post-2014 thinking. They understand the Russian regime of state terrorism and confront the real threat of #PutinAtWar

#PutinAtWar
Seven years ago NATO leaders agreed that a cyber-attack on one member nation can be treated as a cyber-attack on all members. Russia has since committed many devastating acts of war in this manner. NATO should respond by launching military or cyber-attacks against the aggressor.
Most NATO member countries except a few in Eastern Europe are in the grip of extremist Russia-appeasement factions. Some of these elites are corrupted or compromised by the Putin-Kremlin crime syndicate. All of them are so risk-averse they are paralyzed to total inaction.
The most risk-averse of Russia-appeasing NATO countries is Canada. Canada won’t expand Russia sanctions to Putin and his inner circle; won’t back a MAP for Ukraine in NATO; won’t arm Ukraine; won’t oppose Russia’s Nord Stream 2 war project.
Canada’s inaction helps #PutinAtWar

Acting on his imperialist doctrine and strengthened by mobilization, Putin has ordered the Russian army of occupation in the east of Ukraine to increase its bombardments of defenders and civilians. #RussiaInvadedUkraine
Putin is greatly emboldened by the support of the German Putinversteher faction and the Biden administration for Russia’s Nord Stream 2 war project.

Russian forces invading Ukraine attacked near Katerynivka, Luhansk region today using a rocket-assisted flamethrower with a thermobaric warhead. The fuel-air explosion from this weapon has a blast volume of 120 cubic metres. This is a stunning escalation by #PutinAtWar

The village of Katerynivka lost its protection when Zelenskyy surrendered the Zolote "disengagement area" to Putin in October 2019. This unforced capitulation by the Ukrainian president left defenders vulnerable to Russian attacks in the ongoing Battle of the Bakhmut Road.
Despite 21st century communications technology, mainstream news media ignore Russia's war against Ukraine. WWII was covered by radio and newsreels. The Vietnam War – broadcast TV. Iraq's invasion of Kuwait – cable TV. News about Russia's invasion of Ukraine is embargoed. Insane.
War reportage has disappeared. People follow me on Twitter to find out about #PutinAtWar but what I write is just a tiny drop of water in a vast information desert. We live in greatly diminished times.
The Vietnam War was complex but people could be informed. They heard terms like Viet Cong and Ho Chi Minh trail and and knew what they meant.
#RussiaInvadedUkraine but most people don’t know about the Cyborgs, the DPR/LPR, the Joint Forces Operation or anything about the war.

Russians believe they are at war with the United States. Putin regime propaganda has overwhelmed them with this disinformation. Russians have been told the lie that their army invading Ukraine is facing "coloured troops from NATO." #RussiaInvadedUkraine is truly a global war.
Live in the world as it is, not as you wish it to be. The Russian Federation is at war in Ukraine, invading Ukraine. It has been for 6 years, 10 months, 24 days. A state of international war exists and the Russian Federation is the aggressor state. It should be declared as such.
#PutinAtWar is global war. The Russian regime of state terrorism assassinates people anywhere in the world. People of conscience have been shot, poisoned, pushed out of windows, blown up and bludgeoned to death in the US, the UK, France, Germany, Ukraine and other countries.
Russia is at war with Ukraine. A tactic of Russia’s invasion, especially in Luhansk and Donetsk in 2014, was to send mobs to seize public buildings. The mobs were indoctrinated by TV and Internet disinformation, seeded with Russian agents.
This is how Trump attacked the Capitol.
This is how Trump attacked the Capitol.
Over 74 million Americans voted for a Russian asset, Trump. They have been indoctrinated to believe Democrats are a greater threat to the U.S. than aggressor Russia. American democracy is as unstable after 4 years of Trump as Ukrainian democracy was after 4 years of Yanukovych.
Most Americans don't know and don't care about how a mob was organized to seize the Security Service of Ukraine building in Luhansk or the Donetsk Regional State Administration Building. But they should. This tactic of Russia's global war against democracy has come to the USA.
