Mariupol City Council says residents are being taken to Russia
Residents of Mariupol, which is being continuously bombed by Russia, have been taken to Russia over the last week, the Mariupol city council is reporting.

The council said that “several thousand Mariupol residents were deported to Russia. The occupiers illegally removed people from the Left Bank district and shelters in the building of the sports club, where more than a thousand people (mostly women and children) were hiding from constant bombing,” the statement reads.

The council said that the residents were taken to “filtration camps, where occupiers checked people’s phones and documents”. After, residents were “redirected to remote cities in Russia, the fate of other remain unknown”.

Friends, comrade officers!

Our colleague, an officer with a capital letter, a courageous defender of our Motherland, devoted to the oath and the Navy, is no longer with us. loving father, true friend, Deputy Commander of the Black Sea

fleet, captain of the first rank Andrey Nikolaevich Paliy.

Today our friend died defending us, our children, our country on its far frontiers!

He died for our future, sacrificing himself!

Andrey for me was not only a friend who went with me after the service to training despite a complete restart in business, but he was an example of an honest and responsible person in all respects!

He was the one who will not betray and who will support in difficult times!

My epitaph to Andrey Nikolaevich is very, very sincere and deep - I grieve immensely, the memory of you will pass through my whole life, your smile and irony will never be lost in my memory of you!

My condolences to family and friends, classmates and classmates, colleagues, friends and comrades!

May the earth rest in peace for you and the kingdom of heaven be!

You, a resident of Kiev, fell for the liberation of Ukraine from Nazism, NATO extremism in our ancestral territory of Little Russia, occupied by the enemies of Russia by revanchists!"

Not much of a clue in the translation. I once nearly killed myself on a cargo ship I caught a ride on, a satsuma rolled off a table and I slipped on it. Could have been nasty.

Other reports indicate he was killed by Ukrainian defenders which seems likely.

Washington Post: “The next two weeks could be critical in determining the outcome of the entire war, they say. Unless Russia can swiftly improve its supply lines, bring reinforcements and bolster the flagging morale of the troops now on the ground, its goals may become impossible to achieve.”

Send Trump to help the Russians.

As with the generals, the Americans are following every move that these senior commanders are making and they are doing it partially from a bunker in North Dakota and DC. Little exageration there- not much.

Y'all remember back a few weeks or less when it was reported that the Ruskies were coming with baseball cards with pictures of Zelensky and other leaders on it? Heh. That's a little old school- shall we say- compared to some other things going on.

It sounds like he was involved in marine landings when shot dead.

This is from a Russian journalist's tweet. My Translation:

"Yesterday in Vladimir we buried the senior officers of the SOBR (Quick Reaction Forces) of Russian Guards in Vladimir region that were killed in the war with Ukraine. Four lieutenant colonels. If so, can you imagine how many junior officers were killed?

Do you understand the dimensions of the clusterf*ck? For 30 years of SOBR existence in Vladimir there were no personnel losses. Yesterday, we buried all the leadership."

The Iskander is hypersonic (Mach 6 to 7) has a range of 500Km
The Kinzhal, in the news today, is even more hypersonic (Mach 10 to 12) and has range of 2000Km

If you look at the location of Delyatyn on google maps, which is the location the Kinzhals attacked, it is a fairly distant location so out of the range of the Iskander
