Did you know that there is a Khyzhak (Predator) Police unit called "Robocops" that is working alongside Khartia Brigade in Kharkiv direction since late 2024? As we are currently fundraising for Khartia, I decided to put out some geos to show their work! x.com/AndrewPerpetua… <

We are fundraising to provide Khartiia with critical transport vans. Logistics keeps the front moving. Please support the mission below. You can donate here: paypal.com/donate?campaig… Vehicles are a commodity. We've tracked vehicle losses in Ukraine for years, including light-skinned vehicles such as vans and pickup trucks. Those who follow us know and understand the attrition rates. The scale is immense. In the first 22 days of April alone, we tracked 931 losses in this category (cars, pickups, SUVs, and vans, combined). As our followers know, video analysis captures only a fraction of the total losses. While some of these vehicles are ultimately recovered and repaired, many are abandoned, stripped for parts, or destroyed. This is the reality of war. Support for Ukraine means funding and supplying these vehicles. Why Vans? Cargo In → Casualties Out Inbound: Vans protect sensitive cargo, such as electronics, from dust, mud, and rain. Outbound: Once goods are delivered, these vehicles provide a protected, enclosed space to evacuate the wounded for treatment. The Goal: $100,000 We are raising funds to purchase, repair, and prep vans for Khartiia and another secret special unit. The budget covers the purchase price, mud tires, spare parts, and technical preparation required for front-line deployment. This is the first fundraiser spearheaded by my data collection and mapping project, Ukraine Daily Update, in association with volunteers at Tochnyi. To ensure total transparency and professional logistics, we are partnering with Liberty Ukraine, which will handle the backend and 501(c)(3) status. We know our audience understands the scale of this need. We hope those who are able will donate to help us get these vans to the front as promptly as possible. The fundraiser page is here, with alternative ways to donate: libertyukraine.org/from-screens-t…

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Regarding all the media reports about the supposed US-Ukraine drone deal, I co-sign @tomkarako's comments to Politico. There is a LONG way to go before this becomes a reality. The Trump Admin has no sense of urgency about this, despite the ongoing emergency in CENTCOM.

A woman who escaped from Mariupol shares photographs of the craters left where apartment blocks once stood in her neighbourhood. She describes a bleak, devastated landscape. Her testimony ends with the discovery that her place in the queue for restitutive housing has jumped from number 400 to 1,516.

Una donna fuggita da Mariupol mostra le foto delle fosse dove sorgevano condomini nel suo quartiere, e descrive un quadro desolante. Leggete la testimonianza, che si conclude con la scoperta di essere misteriosamente passata dal numero 400 a 1516 per un alloggio compensativo.

The German government has published new data on its bilateral assistance for Ukraine and its citizens, and I have therefore updated my infographic. Between the 31st of December 2025 and the 31st of March 2026, Germany spent another ~€1.98 billion on #Ukraine assistance, with most funding being provided to services related to Ukrainians living in Germany.

Yesterday in Dnipro, as a result of a Russian missile attack, a student of Dnipro National University was killed. Ilya Bezbozhnyi was a second-year student at the Faculty of Applied Mathematics and Information Technologies. He came to Dnipro from Myrhorod, in the Donetsk region. According to students, the explosions occurred almost simultaneously with the alarm signal. Those who managed to do so went down to the shelters. Work on the damaged building continued throughout the night. #RussiaIsATerroristState

Good analysis here from @tochnyi.info, showing clearly what I've been reporting in recent weeks. Ukraine's drone-based fightback has seen a huge spike in attacks on occupied territories, and April may prove to be a new record month. tochnyi.info/2026/04/contro…

Ukraine’s mid-range strike operations are becoming faster, broader, and more systematic. @HartreeFock and our researchers analyse the expanding aerial campaign against Russian military infrastructure in occupied territories and Russian border regions. tochnyi.info/2026/04/contro…

Ukraine’s long-range strike campaign is putting pressure where it hurts. From July 2025 to April 2026, our data shows repeated strikes on Russian electricity, telecoms, air defence, fuel logistics, and military infrastructure. Analysis by @HartreeFock.
