NEWS NO MEDIA: Belarus is unlikely to invade Ukraine - Institute for the Study of War.

Analysts believe that Belarus' entry into the war in the worst case will force Ukraine to temporarily transfer some soldiers and equipment from the current front line. Also, it will weaken Lukashenko's regime, because it will show that Russia's attempt to ensure full control over Belarus was successful.

1. According to a Russian Telegram Channel - Bakhmut's situation has been clarified:

The Russian Army enters residential areas.
The defense line of the 71st mountain brigade in Bakhmut was broken through and the Russian troops advanced along Pervomaisky Lane in the flesh to the intersection with Dobrolyubov.

If confirmed true, this is a big deal, as the Russians have only been entering the industrial area in the east. If they are already seen to be in the Residential area, then that means they are in the main part (west) of the city.

2-4. For further clarity, the following map illustrates the significant advance of the Russian Army in Artyomovsk (Bakhmut), as reported above.

====================
NO MEDIA:
The Wagner PMCs develop an Offensive on Bakhmut

Bakhmut (Artemovsk) city is still under control of the AFU.

According to Go and See «Иди и смотри», the Ukrainian army is suffering extremely high losses in the Bakhmut direction. Nevertheless, Bakhmut itself currently remains under the control of the AFU.

Fighters of the Wagner PMCs continue to develop their offensive in the Bakhmut direction. Heavy fighting is taking place. The tactical objective of the Russian troops is to cut off the supply of the city's garrison to the AFU.

The strategic objectives of the RF Armed Forces are to create several isolated and localized cauldrons in Donbass, particularly in Bakhmut and Soledar. The speed of the offensive is affected by severe weather conditions as well as the urgent redeployment of AFU reserves.

Nevertheless, the climax of the battle for Bakhmut is closer than ever before.

The next full-scale offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be in the direction of Zaporizhzhia, - Forbes.

"This long-awaited attack would liberate most of southern Ukraine and allow the Armed Forces to approach the narrow isthmus that connects the mainland with Crimea."

It is for this reason that the Armed Forces destroy the logistics of the occupiers in this direction, the bridge in Melitopol is only the beginning...

Robotic de-mining equipment will participate in de-mining of Kharkiv and Kherson regions.

It will help save lives of explosive technicians and avoid (or at least significantly reduce) the horrible tragedies like the one I posted about yesterday.

For those of you who don't use Twitter in keeping up with the war... this won't be such a big deal... but for those of us who do... all I can say is ...

“What Elon doing?”

NAFO next?

1-8. It appears that all automated flight tracking accounts utilizing open source data from @ ADSBexchange have been banned from Twitter, including @ RUOligarchJets.

And @ NASAPlanes, which was exclusively tracking US Gov aircraft

@ NASAPlanes As of right now, this appears to be a Twitter-wide block on accounts associated with @ JxckSweeney

Man, a lot of people seem to have become experts overnight on ADSB, LADD, PIA, and FAA/NTSB/ICAO/SESAR/EASA policy.

Just gonna be clear, this appears to be, at the moment, a Twitter-wide ban on flight tracking accounts run by @ JxckSweeney.

There are others still up, though a major portion of the flight tracker bots on the platform were run by Jack.

9. Update, Twitter has changed their policy on open source flight tracking-

https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-an...al-information

“Under this policy, you can’t share the following types of private information, without the permission of the person who it belongs to:”

This broad policy appears to affect OSINT in general on Twitter, the language is a bit too vague, but gives the platform a lot of leeway to remove OSINT content.

10. Additionally, within the Twitter rule changes there appears to be significant new rules on OSINT. Geolocating footage, under this rule, appears to be banned.

11. This one is specifically aimed at Ukrainian and Russian POW videos.

12. Additionally, within the Twitter rule changes there appears to be significant new rules on OSINT. Geolocating footage, under this rule, appears to be banned.
