The fact that Ukraine is letting a whole CNN team so close to the front in Sudzha is a pretty good indication that Russia simply doesn't have FPV and other drone assets in place there. Meanwhile, Ukraine almost certainly does. Will be a very lopsided fight until that changes.

"It's very surreal to be inside Russia with Ukrainian forces leading the way." @npwcnn gained some of the first access to Ukrainian-held Russia, witnessing their control over the town of Sudzha and the intensity of the fight. https://t.co/gjkBaJQEcR

My dear friend Nguyen Chi Tuyen is about to go on trial for the audacity of demanding an end to single party rule in Vietnam. He wouldn't hurt a fly. All he wants is free elections. And the Communist Party might destroy him for advocating for it. https://t.co/f5bKqLHw3c

6 weeks ago, Evan Wright called an article I wrote from the frontline a "great piece of work." The funny part is that it was in the context of us arguing. Never interacted with him beyond this exchange, but I was beyond flattered. Hard to believe that he's now gone.

Evan Wright @evanscribe

@BDMurray That is great piece of work. If you were to reread my post, you would notice that I'm on your side.… I was actually trying to explain to advocates of Ukraine, but I think you're shooting yourselves in the foot, when you start attacking opponents of Ukrainian aid here as MAGA

Russia wants to sell more weapons to Vietnam. They'd also like Vietnam to open up their shell stockpiles to them. But China will prevent RU from selling the really good stuff, and Vietnam is too pragmatic to give Russia firepower for use against Ukraine. https://t.co/hPrANC5WyN

Lavrov can't visit Serbia anymore because none of the surrounding countries allow his plane to overfly their airspace. If the EU/NATO is paying attention, they'd do the same for any Belarusian extradition flight for this guy.

Three top Belarusian athletes told me Andrei Gnyot was instrumental in setting up a network of sportspeople in opposition to Lukashenko. Now Serbia plans to deport him to Belarus on a dubious Interpol warrant https://t.co/NoaKQGNif7

These Russian ISR drones are a terror on the battlefield. They don't shoot at you but certainly relay info to those who can (I know from experience). But shooting them down in volume simply hasn't been cost effective... at least up until now. This could be a game changer.

1/ QUICK TAKE - Russians are worried that Ukrainian military is targeting their fixed-wing ISR drones: "This is an extremely alarming development. While people do not directly die from such actions, the consequences may be more serious than from the delivery of dozens of Abrams https://t.co/5xUI5upZKH

I don't think this would work out the way he hopes it would.

Make all Russian residents in the EU the following offer: Renounce Russian citizenship and declare against Putins Tyranny and get EU citizenship or get expelled back to Russia as an enemy alien and lose the right to return to EU life long

I'm begging everyone wildly speculating about the motives of the recent assassination attempt in Slovakia to please first Google the words "Fico" and "Mafia."
