Ukraine has just received the second Skynex air defense system from Germany as part of the latest package of military aid. It's a big, powerful, and highly accurate gun that is very effective at shooting down drones.

Cluster munitions being used against the third largest city in Ukraine.

Notable silence from all the “incredibly principled” people who loudly opposed Ukraine using U.S. supplied DPICM to break up Russian mass wave assaults across muddy fields in the Donbas.

Russia using a missile with cluster munitions in the heart of Odesa. Five people were killed, many more maimed. A war crime as clear as it gets.

The journalism and the presentation of this Bellingcat piece are stunning.

One of those injured is reportedly Serhiy Kivalov, a discredited pro-Russian ally of ex-President Yanukovych, who lives in a large and ornate building in Odesa known as Kivalov's Castle.

The US weapons making their way to Ukraine right now.

Been speaking to Ukrainian soldiers just behind the frontline today - a few kilometres north of Orikhiv.

The situation is still very difficult; they still have to ration artillery ammunition; they believe the Russians are pushing as hard as they can before new U.S. aid arrives.

This is fucking brilliant.

Everyone talks about nukes but really it's the AI-powered autonomous kamikaze drone swarms you should be worried about 😬
