In the area of Kherson, fighting continues, the Russian military is trying to go to the city through N.P Oleshki in the south of him, where they suffered losses in clashes from the Ukrainian army, apparently the entire column destroyed. Also, the blows continue to apply the CCM RF. They report that the Russian army is trying to bypass Kherson on the part of New Kakhovka.
An entire armored column of one (1) BMP IFV.
 
The Russian tank with the Soviet flag spotted earlier has turned up speeding down a highway. Posted on Telegram so I can't rip the vid, link below.


Dead soldier in Obolon, Kiev.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have our first armed civilian! Maybe this will turn into a warcrime fiesta after all.

Natalia Poklonskaya , I wonder what episode is this arc she going to show up in.
 
The US does all their important shit at night and has for a long time. I just kinda assumed the pointy end of Russian elite tacticool operations would showboat that capability too since I think a big part of why this is happening is to prove to the West that they are stronk.
Isn't it stronker to show you can do it during the day?
Also, doing it openly makes for better optics with the locals and makes it much more difficult for NATO/US propagandists to lie about who was where and when.

Follow up on my post a few min ago with the dead soldier -- Telegram claims this is actually a Russian soldier disguised in a Ukrainian uniform. That rumor is back, it seems.

Changed into the form of National Guardians and the people who have gone on the "Arlen-10" in the Kiev Oboloni. Nobody will show individuals and documents. DRG is still secret. And convenient.
переодевшиеся в форму нацгвардейцев и давившие народ на «Стреле-10» в киевской Оболони.

Лиц и документов никто не покажет. ДРГ же — всё тайно. И удобно.
 
Ukraine keeps tweeting that it's destroyed Russian columns left and right but there's never any evidence. Not that Russia's telling the truth either, but the fact they're in the capital already really makes me doubt the image they're trying to present of Ukraine basically annihilating Russian forces.

The Ukrainians could be expected to some limited success against isolated or advanced units of the Russian Army on the first day. But rather than whole "columns" being destroyed, its more like patrols. The attack on the airport outside the capital also seems to have been a real live disaster for them. But that big "column" that is moving down the highway toward Kiev
is a whole different matter. I don't see them being able to stop that.
