Apologies for the lack of posting, snow storm is hitting where I am and connection has been spotty at times
Not really a surprise, but Russia has vetoed the UN’s draft resolution calling for the immediate and complete withdrawal of Russian forces from Ukraine
Ukraine saying it downed a Russian Ilyushin II-76. Ukraine military Commander in Chief stating:

“Our Air Defense Forces shot down IL-76 3 with an enemy landing in the Vasilkov area. This is revenge for Luhansk 2014. Death to enemies!”
By far the largest aircraft to be downed this conflict if confirmed, with the second being a Ukrainian An-26 (above) that was shot down the first day of the invasion
Ukraine is claiming the IL-76 was filled with paratroopers
Ukraine’s Air Force command also saying two Russian Su-25s downed (one by a Ukrainian Su-27 and one by S-300 AA missile) and one unspecified helicopter shot down by S-300
Two conflict maps by ISW showing Russian advancements from Feb 24-25. First map showing locations of missile strikes, which are still prevalent in most of the cities.
Also just a heads up. A lot of footage from Euromaidan (2013-2014) is being posted claiming to be from now so just be careful of things you see being posted.
Also for those wondering Cossack Gundi (Johnny) is still alive

One of the Ukrainian soldiers on Snake Island (Bublichek99 on IG) was streaming when the Russian warship started striking it. Stream cut out after this.
Russian media claiming that 82 Ukraine soldiers surrendered on Snake Island and were taken to Sevastopol on the Russian tug “SHAKHTYOR.” AIS tracking for the ship has been turned off so there is now way to check its voyages. Ukraine officials said only 13 servicemen were on the island and all were killed by bombardment. Whatever the case is the island is under Russian control.
As we also saw in the video I posted the Island came under fire before the stream was cut
Latest ISW conflict map. Russian forces pushing north from Kherson and East to Mariupol to hit it from two sides. Donetsk frontline hasn’t been breached, so forces have pushed north through Luhansk. Russian forces have pounded Ukrainian positions to Kharkiv’s north, I am wondering if they will try to encircle the city. Fighting still largely outside of Kyiv city. Forces have pushed past Sumy, although heavy fighting continues there.

Made a video showing their last three maps
There is currently a small Russian convoy/ patrol just driving through Kharkiv taking heavy fire and really not doing anything else. I have no idea what they are trying to do.
Kyiv independent reporting that bridges between Bucha and Kyiv have been destroyed to slow Russian troop movements to the Capital
Didn’t mean to post that ☠️ was trying to look up who people keep shitting on in the comments
