 Interesting developments from Ukraine in the last six hours or so. The 40km+long military convoy that had been stalled north of Kiev for a considerable amount of time appears to be breaking off and moving into assault positions. Recent satellite images reveal the convoy has dispersed and redeployed.  New Russian armor units have arrived around Hostomel airport and are maneuvering. Over the last week, civilian satellite images have been limited by heavy cloud cover over Ukraine.

Today’s photos showed the convoy for the first time since Monday.

Many types of US reconnaissance satellites are not affected by the limitations that civilian satellites are.

Therefore, it is fair to say the US military and NATO have more current and in-depth images and other types of intelligence data and have painted a far clearer picture of what is happening to the north, west and east of Kiev.

Shey na everywhere Kindergarten block dey for Ukraine, no one be military bloc

If it's not hospital block, it's Kindergarten bloc, while Ukrainian army continue to fight from residential area using humans as fodder for return fire and whipping up sentiment and international outcry

Who's the criminal here?
The one who use civilians as bullet shield?
Or the one who returned fire?

Where is the moral in using civilians as shield and cry foul later?

Failed to understand why these convoys were never attacked by the stingers and Nlaws bearing Ukrainian troops..

I think these convoys contained the most professional and battle hardened units of the Russian military..

Saudi Arabia says it has rescued two young American women from Yemen in a joint special operations mission with the United States.
The women, both Yemeni-American teenagers, were being held by the Houthi rebels in Yemen’s capital Sanaa after having been taken captive while visiting their grandmother, the Saudi defence ministry said on Thursday.
The women were taken by Saudi operatives from Sanaa to Aden, then flown to Saudi Arabia for medical treatment. They have now been repatriated to the US, the Saudis said.

Serbia is not a member of the EU and has refused to impose sanctions against Russia, but its planes are free to cross EU airspace. This has made the Balkan country “the only European air corridor left open to Russia”, according to travel analytics company ForwardKeys.
