@jeffreyscarson Thank you!

@dianabutsko Great reporting 👍

I worked in southern Ukraine. Here are a few key takeaways from the 2026 ‘counteroffensive.’ 1/ “We advanced roughly 10 kilometers into enemy defenses,” says “Lawyer,” deputy commander of the 3rd battalion of the 82nd Air Assault Brigade.

Russian forces attacked a market in the city of Nikopol, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, with a drone this morning, the regional prosecutor’s office reported. According to the investigation, the market was hit around 9:50 a.m. Preliminary reports indicate that five people were killed—three women and two men. Another 19 people were injured, including a 14-year-old girl. The girl is currently in the hospital. Doctors describe her condition as critical. The blast also damaged shopping pavilions and a store, and a fire broke out at the scene.

8/ “Overall, the line is now relatively stable. But we are the ones dictating it. The initiative is on our side,” says Lawyer. Here is the story: youtu.be/gVGutLhqRIg?si…

7/ Despite stabilizing the frontline, small Russian groups still infiltrate the rear. “Forward elements have already penetrated deep beyond the initial line. Recently, our drone operators captured enemy soldiers at a depth of about 10 km.”

I guess the arms industry still has a long way to go before it accepts that.

Just business.These prejudices prevent the West from facing the reality of a new era of warfare. Drones have changed the rules. It’s no longer about ‘innovation’ or massive investment,as it once was—it’s about finding the cheapest way to destroy the enemy. theatlantic.com/national-secur…

@TarasChmut Ще більш приємно — штурмові полк ?

Завжди приємно бачити зростання та масштабування Сил оборони! Нові полки, особливо, «полк ППО» у НГУ! Більше нових частин — потужніша армія! Ще б танковий полк та щось з ракетних комплексів додати…

My recent story on Huliaipole

@Tendar This map is a little bit aggregated.

Ukrainian forces advanced further into the Zaporizhzhia region. The new positions are directly threatening the Russian occupation in Uspenivka. The Russian presence in the Dnipropetrovsk region has been almost completely removed.

The main lesson from the Russo-Ukrainian war is never to underestimate the threat posed by drones. axios.com/2026/03/10/us-…

@68oebr Росомаха лишається?

Доброго ранку! Вже чули новини? 👀

@lucky__soldier Ні, Покровськ уже все

Вже багато разів були моменти, коли в крайній хаті у підвалі сидить ще два діда. Тому населений пункт ще не окуповано ворогом. Мабуть десь так зараз з Покровськом.
