💔 This is all that remains of the construction supermarket after yesterday's Russian attack on Ternopil

Yesterday Ternopil experienced the most massive drone strike since the beginning of the invasion. As a result of the attack, 12 people were injured.

Yet another Russian attack on civilians in Kherson.

A Russian drone struck a bus this morning. Two killed. Seven injured, including four municipal workers.

Russian human safari on civilians in Kherson continues.

Russia abandons ‘meat-grinder’ tactics to try four-man ambushes

With 325,000 soldiers killed, Putin’s generals stop sending wave after wave of troops towards front line

Verity Bowman  |  01 May 2026  |  4:06pm BST


For more than four years, Russia has sought to grind its way across Ukraine by sending waves of men into enemy fire, betting that sheer numbers would overwhelm even the most determined defence.

It has been a strategy of brutality, wasted lives and minimal gains. About 1.3 million Russian soldiers have been killed or wounded since the invasion began, with an estimated 325,000 dead.

Yet the battlefield has changed, making a questionable tactic even less effective.

Drones scour the front line, exposing large troop formations almost immediately. Electronic warfare disrupts communications, and Ukraine has learnt to anticipate assault patterns.

The “meat grinder” approach is becoming obsolete – and Russia knows it. A quieter, harder-to-detect tactic, which Western analysts say could be more dangerous, is slowly taking its place.

Now Russian units are breaking into much smaller teams. They move on foot, often at night, with minimal radio contact, probing for gaps in Ukraine’s front line and slipping through unseen.

Teams are usually made up of two to four men, while other soldiers go out alone.  .  .  .

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/05/01/russia-abandons-meat-grinder-tactic-ukraine-war/




To be clear here, Russia isn't abandoning its 'meat-grinder' tactics.  It's that they're running out of soldiers.  Same tactics.  Fewer soldiers.

Russia’s largest Baltic oil export terminal at the Port of Primorsk is on fire this morning.

NASA’s FIRMS detected multiple fires at the port shortly after Ukrainian attack drones targeted the area.

The oil pumping station west of Perm, Russia is still burning for a fourth consecutive day. We have to wait for high-res satellite footage, but the area marked in red is affected with everything inside destroyed or damaged beyond repair. The area marked yellow is possibly damaged. #Russia

Three of the five Russian shadow fleet ships detained by Sweden are anchored side by side near the Swedish port of Trelleborg, including today’s JIN HUI.

Hopefully, the Swedish collection of sanctioned Russian vessels will continue to grow.

Russia Likely Deploys Additional S-400 Systems to Moscow to Protect May 9 Parade

Dmytro Shumlianskyi  |  May 3, 2026  |  15:01


Long-range S-400 air defense systems have been spotted moving in Moscow, likely to protect the May 9 parade on Red Square.

The Yezh Telegram channel published photos of the equipment in transit.

This may indicate that additional air defense systems are being redeployed to the Russian capital to safeguard a key event for the regime amid intensified Ukrainian drone and missile strikes.

Meanwhile, several S-400 systems are already deployed at positions across Moscow, so it is not possible to determine with certainty whether the photos show additional systems being brought in or simply the relocation of units already on duty between positions.

As of spring 2026, Moscow is protected by two tightly layered rings of air defense, along with several additional positions within the city itself. According to OSINT estimates, about 130 air defense sites are deployed in and around the capital.

The core of Moscow’s air defense network consists of roughly 100 Pantsir-S1 missile-and-gun systems, supported by a smaller number of Tor systems, both designed to intercept drones and cruise missiles. These are reinforced by around 20 S-400 batteries, which are intended to counter both cruise and ballistic missile threats.  .  .  .

I wonder what assets that shift of S-400 systems made more vulnerable. The Ukrainians probably know.

@Gerashchenko_en

Putin is growing increasingly paranoid:

Several media, including the CNN and the Financial Times have published a report that was allegedly provided to them by an employee of the intelligence service of an EU country. The document allegedly describes what's going on in the Kremlin and Putin's close circle.

According to the report, the Kremlin is very worried about the leaks of sensitive information and the risk of a possible coup against Putin.

Key points from the report:

🔷Security measures around Putin have been tightened even more:
◾️He and his family are no longer seen in their usual residences;
◾️Putin stays in bunkers more and more often, including one in Krasnodar region;
◾️Employees who work in direct contact with Putin, are forbidden to use cell phones and public transportation.

❗️🔷Shoigu is regarded as a possible factor for destabilization: he keeps being influential in military circles, and is considered as a risk for staging a coup.

🔷The tension between Russian law enforcement structures continues growing:
◾️Attacks on Russian generals cause fear;
◾️There is a lack of resources to protect them in the Russian rear;
◾️Various structures are in conflict with each other due to issues with coordination of security measures for Russian officers.
◾️Security measures for the 10 high-ranking Russian generals have been increased. This used to apply only to Gerasimov.

🔷A small curious fact: no Russian Duma MP was invited to the parade on the Red Square this year.

Vladimir Putin has withdrawn to living in bunkers where he operates "for weeks" amid fresh concerns about a potential coup, according to a report citing a Western intelligence agency.

Security measures have been dramatically heightened around the Kremlin dictator, who has reportedly fled his preferred palaces, fearing they could become targets of drone attacks by members of his own inner circle. The new assessment cites an unnamed Western intelligence agency and has been disclosed by the independent Russian news outlet Important Stories.

"Since the beginning of March 2026, the Kremlin and Vladimir Putin have been concerned about a leak of sensitive information and, at the same time, about the risk of a plot or coup attempt against the Russian president," the outlet reports. "In particular, he fears the use of drones for a possible assassination attempt by members of the Russian political elite." It comes after a lip reader exposed Trump warning Charles of Putin's alarming 4-word threat.

His Security Council Secretary, Sergei Shoigu - who served as Minister of Defense during the war's initial years - is "associated with the risk of a coup attempt". An effort to undermine Shoigu occurred last month with the arrest of his former deputy Ruslan Tsalikov, who is suspected of corruptly accumulating a staggering fortune of nearly $68 million in family assets.

Shoigu was initially connected with coup concerns last month. These allegations are based on the analysis of "an intelligence service of a European Union country". The nation has not been identified.  .  .  .

A woman holds her father’s hand through the shattered window of his car. He was killed by shrapnel in the middle of a street in Merefa. One of seven killed when a Russian missile hit a busy road at 10am, 30 km from Kharkiv, in a town people saw as relatively quiet.
