As far as I understand it.... The loses on these sites get counted based on the visual evidence uploaded to the internet.  So he(she) may well be counting something that was destroyed or filmed a few weeks/days ago but only now been uploaded.  I read a tweet that said he spent some time yesterday catching up on the UKR loses. So, for what it's worth, I don't think you can necessarily say lost in just a single day.  That doesn't change the sentiment that the RF appears to be losing a awful lot of equipment.

Mariupol is in ruins and I regret I never had the chance to visit south coast of Ukraine. The greek community there dates from the ancient times, and expanded after the fall of Constantinople and Byzantium from people that fled the ottoman purges. So much history lost in a few weeks, so sad. I wonder how trapped people there can still cope with no water, food or heating. The greek consul there was the last EU diplomat to leave Ukraine, and he compared Mariupol to cities that were wiped out from war, like Guernica, Aleppo Grozny, Stalingrad...

Whatever victory parade Ukraine holds in Kiev MUST included a company of tractors pulling captured RUS vehicles.
It would tie in perfectly into the whole humour/mocking aspect of Ukrainian resistance, which has been deeply inspiring.

He's been on the list for a bit now, this is what we had
Colonel Nikolay Ovcharenko, the chief of engineer troops of Western Military District.

Sweet.
 

I think the Nato response to a Russian tactical nuclear strike in Ukraine would be to immediately implement a no-fly zone and a warning that any further ABC attacks would be met with strikes against Russian forces inside Ukraine.
I don't see Nato responding with nuclear weapons unless Russia strikes a Nato member country.

Destroying Russian tanks makes Tatiana smile:
 

UKR 2S7 Pion in action
 

And something re the info wars side of things - VK is apparently the number one russian social media app and one of the only ones still operating.  Comments suggest it was the admin account rather than a platform wide hack that was being used to distribute the message. 
 

Most of people which is enlisting now are so-called Operative Reserve 1  - those, who fought in Donbas and retired. We have more than 100 000 of OR1. Also there is limited enlistment of Operative Reserve 2 - people, who served in Army but w/o combat experience or gained military speciality in univercities. Also volunteers. 
Also about 320 000 Ukrainains turned back to Ukraine from EU and more than 2/3 are a men. There is now big queues in enlistment offices and many people got answer "we have your phone and we will call when this will be need". So, as I understand, first-wave mobilization already mostly completed and units is conducting trainings and combat coordination. There is a problem, how to move them to east and avoid strikes.  

Something for the russian general staff to study

This sort of thing must be good for morale and motivation.  Something I really doubt the RF forces will ever see.  Another little factor favouring UKR in the equation.
 

Re discussions about manpower (obviously can't verify accuracy of that figure)
They do seem committed
 

Secret Russian General Staff planning session. Although it might be giving them too much credit.

Great news! The bomb shelter under Drama Theater in Mariupol survived the hit of 500 kg bomb. Now the rubbles removing have started to reach the entrance of shelter. There is still unknow about possible casualties among people which were inside the buiding and out of shelter. 

Gets more interesting towards the end.  Would appear UKR morale is pretty good.
 

Ironic one of these seeing the same sort of service again
 

I'm with Kraze - thinking Russia is a spent force and won't try this again in another 5 / 10 / 15 / 20  years seems to be the kind of thinking that got us into this mess in the first place - "The Soviet Union is Finished !  We can all celebrate victory and start worrying about something else"  . Clearly that was a mistake .

Yes, the de-nazification of Germany could only happen because 1) Germany was utterly defeated all the way to Berlin, and 2) Germany was occupied by troops that literally could force locals out to take a look at the camps.
Neither of these things are set to happen in the current war.
I'm worried that this war might end more like WW1.. an economically devastated and empoverished nation free to brew up new "stab in the back" legends and elect even worse leaders than before.

Ukraine can always say what they need to say to get Russians out of Ukraine then be as truthful as Putin in the follow-thru.  Say they won't join NATO, get Russia out, stop the killing, then join NATO.  Russia falls into a great depression, not capable of any further offensive action, NATO secures Ukraine as Putin gets overthrown.  Maybe just wishful thinking, but at this point, if Ukraine breaks long term promises to Russia whilst gaining peace, I don't think the world would consider that treachery. More like justice.

I think russian conscripts would be a lot more open to surrendering to Ukrainians than they were to Chechens.
