Ukrainian Air Force pilot Pavlo Ivanov was killed on Saturday, April 12, during a combat mission on an F-16 fighter jet. The 26-year-old officer died while carrying out his duty defending Ukraine, according to an official statement from the Air Force on April 12.

A joint commission has begun investigating the circumstances of the incident. No additional operational details have been disclosed at this time.

The Air Force emphasized that F-16 pilots are operating under extremely challenging conditions, conducting combat missions on a daily basis. These include providing fighter cover for strike groups and targeting enemy positions. “Ukrainian pilots are performing at the limits of human and technical capability, constantly risking their lives,” the statement read.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded to the news by offering condolences to the pilot’s family and comrades. “Today, in combat on an F-16, Captain Pavlo Ivanov was killed. He was 26 years old. My condolences to his family and all of Pavlo’s fellow servicemen,” Zelenskyy said in a post on Telegram.

He noted that the circumstances of the incident are being reviewed by military command and added that the Ukrainian Air Force continues to play a key role in national defense.  .  .  .

Even more amazing than Ukraine reshaping warfare with their proliferation of drones is Russia's failure to garner an effective defense against them.

I will reply, as is expected. However, I do not know what to say. This is not a way to debate military/economic/political warfare.

Excerpts from the video transcript:

Sole Ukrainian Machine Gunner Stands His Ground Against an Entire Russian Assault Unit!

Today [ Apr 11, 8 pm ], there are a lot of important updates from the Pokrovsk direction ... the Russians are sending waves of infantry assaults across the Pokrovsk direction, throwing bodies at the front in a desperate attempt to stall the Ukrainian advance. But with no armor, no cover, and no chance of surprise, they're being met with the brutal efficiency of Ukrainian machine gun nests that are mowing down reckless Russian assaults that backfired hard. The goal of the Russians in this area is to stall the Ukrainian counteroffensive effort and prevent them from regaining the operational initiative ... the Russian commanders hope to overwhelm the Ukrainian forces with sheer numbers, hoping Ukrainians would be forced on the defensive and cease their offensive efforts on the western flank of Pokrovsk. Russian commanders redeployed forces from other sectors of the front, allowing them to fulfill their manpower needs for the meat wave assaults.

... they could not solve the problem of a shortage in armored vehicles, as the issue was gripping Russians all over the frontline in Ukraine ... the lack of armored vehicles forced Russians to use civilian cars and pickup trucks for the assaults instead ... With the problem solved in the eyes of the Russian high command, Russian forces increased the intensity of their attacks to the same level of intensity as during their initial attempt to take Pokrovsk into a pincer ... a single Ukrainian drone team reported they were eliminating up to 20 Russian soldiers a day, further underscoring the high casualty rate of Russian tactics ...

This allowed the Ukrainian fighters in the settlement to quickly leave their concealed positions, and set up a machine gun to meet the Russian assault head-on. Ukrainian soldiers opened fire on the vehicle, which provided zero protection for the Russian soldiers crammed inside, as the bullets tore through the vehicle ... Aftermath footage shows how the Ukrainian machine gun had utterly devastated the Russian van, igniting the exposed fuel tank, leaving the vehicle a burning wreck as fallen Russian soldiers lay around it, most of whom did not even make it off. The footage also shows a high number of destroyed Russian civilian cars scattered in front of the town ... the Russians are trying to stall the Ukrainian offensive by throwing a continuous wave of bodies at Ukrainian lines. While this is effective in results only, Ukrainians are allowing the already depleted Russian forces to destroy their combat capabilities even more.

What One Month Under Russian Control Did to Irpin

Illia Kabachynskyi  |  Mar 31, 2025  |  13:22




The city of Irpin, just outside Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, was one of the first major targets of Russia’s full-scale invasion—and for a month, it stood as a battleground under occupation.

Russian forces launched their assault on Irpin on February 27, 2022, just three days after the full-scale invasion began. The city, sitting directly on a key route to Kyiv, became a central axis of Russia’s advance. For nearly a month, Irpin was under Russian occupation. Ukrainian defenders fought to stop the advance, building by building, refusing to let Irpin fall without a fight.

Irpin quickly became one of the first examples of Russia’s wartime tactics: soldiers killed civilians, looted apartments, shelled entire residential districts, and dropped aerial bombs on homes. The scale of destruction was staggering. As they retreated, Russian troops rigged apartment building entrances with explosives to increase civilian casualties, including among residents returning to their homes.  .  .  .

Today is the 11th anniversary of the start of war in the Donbas.

It was launched on April 12th 2014 in Sloviansk by a group of around 60 special forces and paramilitary men led by the Russian GRU agent Igor ”Strelkov” Girkin.

They crossed the border from Russia on April 11th and took control of the government building in Sloviansk on April 12th.

Strelkov had been present in Ukraine from the start of the war, having entered Crimea on February 26th and participated in the armed storming of the Supreme Council of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea on February 27th.

In March 2014, his unit stormed a photogrammetric center in Simferopol, further consolidating control over strategic locations.

Strelkov was instrumental in organizing local pro-Russian militias and coordinating with Russian regular forces, particularly the so-called "little green men" (Russian special forces without insignia).

Strelkov was a former officer of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), having served until at least 2012 and was an officer of Russia’s military intelligence (GRU).

He was closely linked to Sergey Aksyonov, the Russian-installed prime minister of Crimea, serving as a security aide and advisor.

After Crimea, Strelkov moved to eastern Ukraine, leading a group of 52–55 armed militants across the Russian-Ukrainian border on the night of April 11–12, 2014, to seize Sloviansk, a city in Ukraine’s Donetsk region.

- On April 12, 2014, his group captured key administrative buildings, including the police station, Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) offices, and city administration, declaring Sloviansk part of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR).

- Strelkov established himself as the military commander of Sloviansk, organizing defenses, setting up roadblocks, and overseeing operations that included ambushes, kidnappings, and executions.

- He admitted to sparking the broader Donbas War, stating, “I’m the one who pulled the trigger of war. If our unit hadn’t crossed the border, everything would have fizzled out.”

- His forces engaged Ukrainian troops, killed SBU officers, and took OSCE observers hostage.

Strelkov ordered the execution of several individuals, including Ukrainians Yurii Popravko, Yurii Diakovskyi, and Volodymyr Rybak.

- By May 2014, he was named “commander-in-chief” and “defense minister” of the DPR, consolidating control over separatist fighters in the region.

Facing intense Ukrainian military pressure, Strelkov’s forces retreated from Sloviansk to Donetsk on July 5, 2014, after which his influence waned, and he was dismissed in August 2014.

It was also in August that large formations of the Russian regular army invaded the Donbas region from Russia to stop the Ukrainian Army from crushing the pro-Russian separatist forces that had taken control of some cities in the region.

Strelkov later fell out with Putin, accusing him of not taking enough of Ukraine and being too weak.

Strelkov was sentenced to 4 years in prison last year for ”inciting extremism”

Sloviansk is still in Ukrainian hands 11 years after Strelkov’s attack and 3 years after Russia’s full-scale invasion.

Today's Palm Sunday attack by Russian forces on civilian targets in Sumy crosses any line of decency.  There are scores of civilian dead and wounded. As a former military leader, I understand targeting and this is wrong. It is why President Trump is working hard to end this war.

It is a line that Putin has been crossing for over three years now.  If one cannot recognize evil when it is this out in the open, then a new set of eyes is needed.

Russian missiles hit Ukrainian city of Sumy during Palm Sunday celebrations, killing more than 30

SAMYA KULLAB  |  April 13, 2025  |  11:33 AM EDT

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian missiles struck the heart of the Ukrainian city of Sumy as people gathered to celebrate Palm Sunday, killing at least 34 people, officials said, in the second large-scale attack to claim civilian lives in just over a week.

The two ballistic missiles hit around 10:15 a.m., officials said. Images from the scene showed lines of black body bags on the side of the road, while more bodies were seen wrapped in foil blankets among the debris. Video footage also showed fire crews fighting to extinguish the shells of burned-out cars among the rubble from damaged buildings.

The dead included two children, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine said in a statement. A further 117 people were wounded, including 15 children, it said.

“Only filthy scum can act like this — taking the lives of ordinary people,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

The head of the Ukrainian president’s office, Andriy Yermak, said the strike also used cluster munitions in an attempt to kill as many people as possible. The Associated Press was unable to verify the claim.

The attack on Sumy followed a deadly missile strike on Zelenskyy’s hometown of Kryvyi Rih on April 4 that killed some 20 people, including nine children.  .  .  .

Russian River Crossing Goes Terribly Wrong!

Today [ Apr 12, 8 pm ], there are a lot of important updates from the Borova direction .. the Russians launched a hurried counterattack to try and halt the 3rd Assault Brigade's advance. However, the attack failed disastrously, as the elite Ukrainian unit turned the Russian assault into a massacre, shredding nearly half a Russian battalion in one day alone. The Ukrainian goal is to undermine the upcoming Russian spring offensive towards Borova and Lyman by launching a crushing counterattack to eliminate the Russian bridgehead over the Zherebets river, which the Russians planned to use to launch their offensive ...

Russian forces were forced to rely solely on infantry, saving their limited armored reserve for the final offensive itself. Additionally, the marshy riverbanks and lack of viable crossing points forced Russians to deploy makeshift pontoon bridges ... due to the makeshift bridges' proximity to Ukrainian lines, Ukrainians were able to detect, target, and destroy them almost immediately.  Russian commanders decided to launch their attacks across open fields instead, assuming that the losses, while high, would still be lower than if they tried to take on Ukrainian defenses head-on ... Unfortunately for Russians, Ukrainians had enough drones in reserve, as they released a 2.5 minute compilation of close to 100 individual FPV drone strikes ... Ukrainians deployed specific 5 to 7-inch large kamikaze drones, which are very fast and agile due to their small size ... they still carried enough explosive payload to achieve the desired effect.

During the Russian assault, Russians lost over 229 soldiers, nearly half a Russian battalion in one day. During the whole week of  3rd Assault Brigade operations, they managed to eliminate a total of 446 Russian soldiers, 16 artillery pieces, dozens of armored vehicles and trucks in the rear, and 10 makeshift bridges Russians deployed to facilitate the crossing ...

Russian defenses will be weakened, and Ukrainians might be able to exploit Russian weaknesses to finish their operation before Russians can re-man their positions.

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, April 12, 2025

Excerpts:

People's Republic of China (PRC) military officials reportedly visited the frontline in Ukraine to glean insights for future warfare amid reports that at least 155 Chinese nationals are fighting in Ukraine. An unnamed former Western intelligence official told Reuters in an article published on April 11 that the PRC authorized an unspecified number of PRC military officers to visit the frontline in Ukraine alongside the Russian military to gain tactical insights from the war in Ukraine but did not specify when these visits may have occurred.

ISW cannot independently verify this report. Two unnamed US officials familiar with US intelligence and the former Western intelligence official told Reuters that roughly 100 to 200 Chinese nationals are fighting for the Russian military as “mercenaries” independent from the Chinese government. The sources further noted that the Chinese fighters appear to have minimal training and are not having any discernible impact on Russian military operations. ISW has observed reports that these Chinese nationals likely signed contracts with the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) of their own accord rather than at the direction of PRC officials.

PRC Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Spokesperson Lin Jian recently stated that the PRC MFA is unaware of the more than 155 Chinese nationals fighting in Ukraine, however. The Guardian recently reported that Russian entities are actively operating recruitment campaigns across several Chinese social media networks, further suggesting that the PRC government may be aware of Russian military recruitment efforts targeting Chinese citizens and may be disinterested in combating these efforts.

Russian attack a 'signal' for Ukraine and the US, says expert

2h ago  |  14:44

As we've been reporting today, Russia's attack on Sumy came not even 48 hours after Donald Trump's envoy met Vladimir Putin for talks.

Steve Witkoff spoke with Putin for four hours on Friday, Russian state media reported, in the latest round of talks between Washington and Moscow.

While Witkoff may "have the desire for peace", he is not an "experienced peace negotiator", Elisabeth Braw, a senior fellow for the Atlantic Council thinktank, told us.

She also believes the attack on Sumy was a "signal" to the rest of the world, given it came so soon after Witkoff's talks with Putin.

"If Russia were a country willing to show goodwill, it would be very easy not to strike Ukraine," she said, speaking to our presenter Barbara Serra.

"It is an incredibly provocative act, one that Russia didn't need to conduct for any military reasons.

"This was a signal to Ukraine, to the Americans and to the rest of the world."

If you want to bring Putin to the table, it is clear Trump's approach is NOT working.  I say up Ukraine's game and provide them with MOABs to strike the six largest cities supporting the Russian military effort on the Ukraine border, and strike the civilian population if you want to get the Russian people's attention.

They are lied to every day by the Putin controlled media.  Start killing Russian civilians like Russia is doing to Ukrainians and perhaps they will awaken from their propaganda slumber.

I just checked the inventory and the Internet indicated we have only 15 in inventory.  I say give Ukraine one per week to use on a Russian city bordering Russia.  And start making 100 of them for future use.  I find it hard to believe we only have 15 in inventory.  It was test when George Bush was POTUS.

Civilised world must stop barbaric Russia by force, says Lithuanian president

Khrystyna Bondarieva  —  13 April 2025, 15:32

Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda has stated that only force can compel Russia to stop its war of aggression after the latest deadly Russian missile strike on the city of Sumy.

The Lithuanian president described Russia's ballistic missile strike on Sumy as a slap in the face to everyone striving for peace.

"The civilised world must use force to stop these barbarians who are killing civilians and children," the Lithuanian president said, without elaborating on what means of force he was referring to.

He added that in this difficult hour, Lithuania reaffirms its unwavering commitment to supporting Ukraine and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy until a just peace is achieved.

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, April 13, 2025

Excerpt:

Ongoing milblogger complaints about the Russian military’s conduct of the war in Ukraine reinforce ISW’s assessment that Russian tactics will degrade Russia’s manpower and materiel resources and contribute to slowing Russian advances along the frontline. A Russian milblogger and former Storm-Z instructor claimed on April 12 that the Russian military command is using a “thousand cuts” tactic against Ukraine to the detriment of Russian forces and complained that deploying poorly equipped and poorly trained Russian infantry to attack Ukrainian defensive positions only results in marginal gains and heavy losses.

The milblogger argued that the Russian military command is attempting to present high manpower and materiel losses as necessary by falsely portraying the preceding combat engagements as evidence of Russia‘s coordinated “grinding” down of Ukrainian defenses. The milblogger claimed on April 12 and 13 that the Russian military command is ignoring the fact that Russian forces are facing shortages of materiel necessary for offensive operations, which contributes to issues conducting assaults and to the failure of small group assaults along the frontline in Ukraine.

The milblogger claimed that frontline Russian commanders are under significant pressure from their superiors to conduct more infantry assaults, do not have sufficient time to plan new assault routes, and that some frontline commanders order assaults simply to be able to report something back to their superiors. ISW previously assessed that these grinding assaults will likely degrade available Russian manpower and materiel significantly enough that Russian forces will have to decrease offensive tempo on lower-priority sectors of the front.

The milblogger speculated that Russian forces are in a self-perpetuating cycle, where poorly trained infantry killed or injured in failed assault attempts are replaced with similarly poorly trained infantry, who are again sent into doomed assaults. The milblogger’s claims reflect the general trend of slowing Russian advances along the frontline recently and highlight some of the critical issues that Russian forces will have to address if they intend to make significant territorial gains or conduct more sophisticated offensive operations in Ukraine in the future.

Кремлевская табакерка
Patriarch Kirill proposed to completely ban neopaganism in Russia, imprison fortune tellers and sorcerers. Because of them, the effectiveness of prayers for Putin and the power of Russian weapons is falling. The head of the Russian Orthodox Church again pointed out the danger of neopaganism for Russia. Patriarch Kirill has done this not for the first time. We wrote that in February, at the initiative of the Church, the fight against neopaganism began at the front. But the primate believes that this did not produce the desired effect. According to our sources in the Church, in connection with this, Patriarch Kirill appealed to Vladimir Putin with a request to completely ban neopaganism and its manifestations at the legislative level.

“Vladimir Vladimirovich. We pray for the power of Russian weapons, so that our missiles, drones, shells accurately hit the Nazis in Ukraine. And so that they are feared throughout the world. We pray that we defeat the Americans through negotiations. We constantly pray for your life and health. But the effectiveness of these prayers is falling due to the fact that in Russia there are many enemies of the true religion - Orthodoxy. There are too many fortune tellers, sorcerers and other evil spirits in society. And some of the soldiers at the front worship pagan idols, having forgotten what God Russia believes in,” one of the channel's interlocutors quoted the appeal.

The patriarch asked the president not only to ban neo-paganism, but also to punish sorcerers, fortune tellers and all those “who worship fake gods and idols” with prison terms. The head of the Russian Orthodox Church wants to pay special attention to the front, where “certain supporters of neo-pagan cults are corrupting the soldiers.” And he warned that if tough measures are not taken, Russia will face serious problems – at the front and elsewhere. He considers the State Duma’s efforts to combat fortune tellers to be insufficient. And he expects decisive action from the president. Kirill is also confident that it is necessary to punish those who use the services of fortune tellers, sorcerers, tarot readers and various magicians. In his opinion, serious fines can be introduced for such people. Putin, according to sources, “listened to the request of the head of the Church with understanding.” And passed it on to experts responsible for religious issues for study. A decision on this issue will come later.

Why do today's decision-makers in the Kremlin believe this?
The explanation is that they are continuing the traditions of the Moscovite Russia. In Muscovite Russia, supernaturalism was a fundamental part of daily life.

See Orthodox Russia, Belief and Practice Under the Tsars Edited by Valerie A. Kivelson, and Robert H. Greene
https://www.psupress.org/books/titles/0-271-02349-X.html

This means we should stop calling the country Russia and switch to saying Muscovy. The Principality of Moscow or Muscovy (1263–1389), later the Grand Principality of Moscow (1389–1547), was a medieval Russian principality. Its capital was the city of Moscow.

Ukraine's intelligence reveals Russian brigades responsible for Sumy attack

Budanov reported that the Russian 112th and 448th missile brigades attacked the city of Sumy with two Iskander-M ballistic missiles. Another war crime of Russia - ballistic strike on Sumy, killing of Ukrainian civilians. Many people went to church on Palm Sunday, some were returning home,” Budanov wrote on Telegram.

The Russian military launched an attack on the city of Sumy the morning of Palm Sunday, killing at least 34 and injuring another 117 people. Two children were killed in the attack. The attacks were launched from Russia's Voronezh and Kursk oblasts, specifically from the Liski and Lezhenski settlements, respectively, Budanov said.

Multiple officials, including Presidential Office Head Andrii Yermak and U.S. Ambassador Bridget Brink, reported that Russia used cluster munitions in the attack on Sumy. The use of cluster munitions in civilian areas is considered a violation of international humanitarian law. Many international leaders have denounced Russia's attack, calling it a war crime.

Reporting From Ukraine:
https://www.youtube.com/@RFU/videos

Excerpts from the video transcript.

Ukrainians Trap Entire Russian Group!


Today [ Apr 13, 8 pm ], there are a lot of important updates from the Pokrovsk direction ... after weeks of relentless assaults and tactical pressure, Ukrainian forces have finally sealed the ring around Kotlyne. With the encirclement now complete, they’ve begun the next phase of calculated clearing operations through the settlement’s ruins, which is already forcing Russian troops to flee, surrender, or be vanquished under drone fire and air strikes ... it was time to fully secure the encirclement, and initiate a clearing operation to remove the remaining Russian forces from the settlement, and consolidate full control of it ...

This was followed by JDAM-guided bomb strikes from Ukrainian Su-27's, causing massive casualties in one of the few buildings in the industrial zone that were still standing. The combined pressure from drone and air strikes inflicted heavy Russian losses and significantly damaged their morale. The intense Ukrainian pressure shattered Russian defenses, and as casualties quickly ramped up, and with no relief on the way, many Russian soldiers decided to abandon their positions and flee. Exposing themselves in the open fields, they were immediately detected by Ukrainian drones and swiftly eliminated ...

Even minor movements between buildings were tracked in real time, leading to pinpoint strikes on Russian strongholds ... some Russian soldiers dropped their weapons, attempting to make it back to Russian lines faster; however, as they refused to surrender, and would rather withdraw to fight another day, they were ultimately targeted and eliminated by a series of FPV kamikaze drones ... several Russian soldiers opted to take their own lives instead, rather than wait for Ukrainian drones to finish the job ...

... they quickly consolidated control, eliminating a small number of Russian stragglers hiding out in basements using hand grenades and small arms fire. They also captured Russian communication equipment, which proved to be extremely useful in allowing Ukrainian units to advance further and carry out their next objectives safely ... even though Ukrainians have a strong defense in place to repel these assaults, it does divide Ukrainians’ attention, which is why Ukrainians are taking their time and not rushing into hurried, risky, or casualty-heavy assaults to clear Kotlyne. This, in turn, will allow Ukrainians to keep advancing at a sustainable pace, as they slowly make their way to the besieged Russian forces in the industrial zone, and prepare for their final destruction if they refuse to surrender.

More work from the Russian 112th and 448th Missile Brigades

--
Russia staged a barbaric new double Iskander-M missile strike on Ukraine today hitting a trolley bus, killing at least 32 people and leaving 83 injured. The massacre in a region close to the border between the countries left people screaming in terror. The dead and wounded - covered in blood - lay in the streets of the city centre after two massive explosions.

Кремлевская табакерка

As a token of gratitude and for protection. Belousov asked to award missile men with crosses with Putin's initials

The Minister of Defense addressed this request personally to the President. “In the last few weeks alone, valiant missile men have delivered a series of brilliant strikes against the enemy. Iskanders and our other missiles reached their targets, causing damage to the Kiev Nazis and showing the whole world the power of Russian weapons, confusing the Americans and the entire West. For such merits, the military deserve a special award, which could be crosses with your initials, Vladimir Vladimirovich,” Belousov said. He also believes that the missile men would benefit from additional protection in the form of these relics. After all, the enemy could arrange a “real hunt” for them to avenge the strikes.

It should be noted that previously, crosses with Vladimir Putin's initials engraved on them were given mainly to military personnel who were directly at the front. The President said that they effectively protect the fighters, including from American and British missiles. Vladimir Vladimirovich liked the idea of ​​awarding such crosses to the servicemen of the missile brigades. He also instructed Patriarch Kirill to hold several special prayers for the strength and success of Russian weapons. And he ordered that his initials be engraved on a batch of body icons of St. Barbara, the patroness of our missilemen. These relics will be consecrated and given to the military.

from r/UkraineWarVideoReport

https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/comments/1jz8lc2/massive_russian_column_destroyed_by_wild_hornets/

On April 13, the enemy sent about twenty vehicles, five motorcycle groups, and several hundred infantry to storm Pryvillyne and Novosilka.

According to DeepState, the assault was planned for April 14, but they launched it yesterday—and some general showed up to command it. He opened with an intense artillery barrage on our rear, then, in classic Soviet fashion, sent his vehicles charging straight in.

As a result, the entire column was utterly destroyed by pilots of the Bulava unit from the Bohdan Khmelnytsky Presidential Brigade and their comrades from the 31st Brigade.

In total, our warriors destroyed 20 enemy vehicles (three tanks, BMPs, and an MT-LB packed with two hundred infantry) and about twenty motorbikes.
