On the list is Commander in Chief Valeriy Zaluzhnyi and Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi, the commander of Ukraine’s ground forces. Russia’s interior ministry has put two of Ukraine’s  top generals on a “wanted list”, the state-run RIA news agency said on Tuesday. Mr Grossi said that the he has tried for months to craft an agreement to reduce the risk of a catastrophic nuclear accident from military activity like shelling at Europe’s biggest nuclear power plant. “However, this has probably been undermined by uncommitted forces instead being sent to fill gaps in the front line around Bakhmut,” the ministry said. It added that, operationally, Russian commanders are “likely attempting to generate reserve forces and position them where they believe a Ukrainian counter-attack will occur”.

Earlier this month, an oil refinery in Krasnodar was attacked by drones on two consecutive days. Drone attacks against Russian regions on the border with Ukraine have been a regular occurrence since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February last year, with attacks stepping up last month. While misinformation has muddied the reality of the war, 20-year-old photography student Valeria is using the platform to show the realities through their own eyes. Her first video, “things in our bomb shelter than just make sense,” riffing off a viral TikTok trend, raked in almost 9 million views, while another, showing her “typical day in a bomb shelter”, has been watched more than 30 million times. Eh careful here, a lot of favorable imagery being pushed in western media circles. I doubt it was on its own, but we have seen Russian tanks crazily go it alone too so who knows, it is a very wierd conflict for sure.

I am about to go away for a few days so am marking my place for when I come back. Your gift will help us research human rights violations  in the Ukraine conflict. Subsequent reports appeared to confirm that UKSF were active in Libya.

As the four Russian soldiers close in on the sheltering Ukrainian a series of explosions can be seen as the two sides exchange grenades.

Footage released by Ukrainian Airborne Forces Command appeared to show several burnt out military vehicles and segments of a bridge partially submerged in the river. See the latest maps from intelligence agencies charting Putin's progress in the country here.
The soldiers reportedly complained of a lack of weapons and coherent orders, claiming that some artillery strikes missed by several kilometres and that they suffered frequent ambushes due to a lack of battlefield intelligence. "Wagner assault groups continue to conduct the main advance through the centre of town while Russian airborne forces have relieved some Wagner units securing the northern and southern flanks of the operation," the British military said on Twitter. Military analysts have said that seizing Bakhmut would have public relations and tactical military value for Moscow but was unlikely to prove decisive in the war's outcome. The Russian Defence Ministry also noted the stepped-up fighting in western parts of the city on Friday. Russian forces have stepped up artillery bombardment and air strikes on the devastated Ukrainian city. In February, Russian soldiers started to speak out against the suicidal drives of Wagner Group's mercenary forces, pushing forward in human waves under heavy artillery fire in scenes reminiscent of the Somme.

Yet from Moscow there was no apology, only accusations that Kyiv was responsible for the outrage. In 2017, an 80-strong SBS team was deployed with US, French and Italian forces to deny ISIS any opportunity to establish a base in Libya after ‘hundreds’ were pouring in after defeats in Raqqa and Mosul. In April 2019, an SAS unit had to be  evacuated out of Tripoli and Tobruk after an eruption of violence. Meanwhile, Western countries, including non-NATO nations like Sweden and Finland are also supplying military aid to Ukraine, including anti-tank launchers and Stinger MANPADS from Germany, Denmark, Poland and The Netherlands.
The Wagner squad can be seen moving up into position through the devasted town close to a row of bombed-out houses where Ukrainian troops are hold-up. Ukraine says it poses no threat to Russia and that the deaths of thousands of civilians and destruction of cities and towns show that Russia is waging a war of aggression. The invasion has failed to overwhelm Ukraine's leadership, with President Volodymyr Zelensky firmly in power and fighting back. I was in my mid-twenties at the time and doing a PhD on the intellectual history of British criminology, an arcane and pedestrian subject that had nothing to do with political atrocity.

She said the area’s problem’s have ‘escalated’, with people playing loud music, fights in the street and gardens in the area infested with rats. South Yorkshire Police have increased patrols in Page Hall with more officers on the street to combat the area’s persistent problems. The resident, who has lived on the street for the last seven years, put her house up for sale due to the plethora of neighbourhood problems troubling the community – with as incidents of street fights and antisocial behaviour that have increased in recent months. NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg praised the Ukrainian army for its “fierce resistance” and for pushing Russian troops back from Kyiv.

Any of those options would likely involve relatively dramatic armoured thrusts into Ukrainian territory, supported by some serious firepower. Open source analysis of social media footage of Russian military moves have shown significant proportions of the 1st Guards Tank Army, the 41st Combined Arms Army and 58th Combined Arms Army taking up position within striking distance of Ukraine.  In Georgia in 2008, Russian forces made an elaborate show of seizing US-made Humvees, but largely held back from more than a handful of airstrikes into the main territory of Georgia. This time, however, Russia might well choose to take the chance to seriously degrade Ukraine’s military, particularly new capabilities that worry it such as Turkish drones and new naval establishments along the Black Sea coast.
Vladimir Putin accused Ukraine of “terrorist activity” after Moscow was hit with a drone attack for the first time since the war in the besieged country began. Whilst the first shot from the tank misses,  the second hits and destroys its target. Unable to see where they are being attacked from, the Russian forces panic and start firing in random directions.
