Western diplomats and independent military analysts say the Russian pullback from Kyiv is real, a sign that Moscow’s initial strategy has failed in the face of grave planning failures, logistical problems and fierce and effective Ukrainian resistance. nyti.ms/3LuQWOK

At least a thousand Russian national guardsmen are disobeying orders to go fight into Ukraine, wary of meeting the same fate as others wiped out in the war’s early days. ⁦@polinaivanovva⁩ reports: on.ft.com/3DrQyhk

The Ukrainian parliament has approved a law with a list of rewards for Russian military equipment. Russian soldiers defecting to Ukraine with a warship or a jet can now claim up to $1 million. A tank or an artillery piece would be worth a $100,000 reward.

"When wounded Ukrainian soldiers came in, the hospital staff put them in civilian clothes, gave them fake name tags, and hid their IDs so they wouldn’t become targets if Russians burst in." kyivindependent.com/national…

Day 36 of Ukraine resistance. Despite promises to focus its offensive on Donbas, Russia targeted Chernihiv, Kyiv and western Ukraine. The town of Izyum in Kharkiv region is a new Mariupol, destroyed and besieged. More chilling stories emerge of Russian war crimes, including rape

When Russia says its scaling back attacks, remind yourself that they also said they wouldn’t invade Ukraine

Russian tactics in Mariupol: 1) do the atrocity 2) blame your enemy for the atrocity ("Ukrainian nationalists") 3) by this, justify even bigger atrocity. - Spiral of violence and lies, lies and violence

Day 36: Russian ruble at 84/$1, close to its pre-Feb. 24 rate. Sanctions remain a joke as spineless Germany can't live without RU gas/oil. RU pummels Ukraine from the air, knocking out oil, fuel & food depots - and killing innocents. The genocide goes on as world is mostly MIA.

Never, ever trust Russia's promises. They always lie. Actions speak louder than words
⚡️Mayor says Chernihiv under 'colossal attack' after Russia pledged to halt assault. “They actually have increased the intensity of strikes,” Vladyslav Atroshenko told CNN. He said that a ‘colossal attack’ on central Chernihiv injured 25 civilians on March 30.

US official says Putin is being misinformed about how poorly Russian military is doing because advisers "are too afraid to tell him the truth.” Putin "didn’t even know his military was using and losing conscripts...showing a clear breakdown in the flow of accurate information."

New Zelensky: 1. Ukraine is at “turning point." 2. No concrete progress on talks. “We don't believe fancy word constructions, we believe in what happens on battlefield” 3.“We are fighting for freedom over tyranny. That gives us right to ask for tanks, planes, and artillery”

⚡️Russian strikes hit Red Cross warehouse in besieged Mariupol. It didn't help that its roof was marked with the Red Cross symbol, indicating the presence of wounded people or civilian or humanitarian cargo.

Urban warfare is hell. Damaging cities & their populations for generations. Russian acts in Mariupol, targeting protected populations (noncombatants) & protected sites (hospitals, schools, buildings clearly holding civilians seeking refuge from the battle) are war crimes.
Aerial footage of Mariupol shows horrific extent of devastation from #Russia’s war. #Ukraine’s 10th largest city has become symbol of its resistance after 34 days of bombardment:

Russian soldiers raped a 16-year-old girl and ate a dog. I just… don’t know how to comment this
.@ServiceSsu published another piece of intercepted talks of russian invaders in Ukraine. They rape minors and eat dogs. Moreover, neither them, nor their interlocutors: moms, wives or friends seem to be shocked or ashamed
