This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When a vehicle is captured and then lost in service with its new owners, it is only added as a loss of the original operator to avoid double listings. When the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it's not included in the list. The Soviet flag is used when the equipment in question was produced prior to 1991. This list is constantly updated as additional footage becomes available.

US Special Envoy to Ukraine Keith Kellogg recently reaffirmed that Ukrainian officials remain committed to resolving the war in Ukraine, despite ongoing Russian refusals to accept US President Donald Trump's repeated proposals for a general ceasefire in pursuit of lasting peace in Ukraine. Kellogg told Fox News on April 29 that Ukrainian representatives repeatedly demonstrated their willingness to negotiate during talks with senior US and European officials in London on April 23, and it is now “up to [Russian President] Vladimir Putin” to achieve a peaceful resolution to the war.[7] Kellogg stated that Ukrainian representatives in London agreed to 22 “concrete” terms including a “permanent, comprehensive” ceasefire, for which US President Donald Trump has long advocated. Kellogg also stated that US officials previously presented Putin with a roadmap for ending the war in Ukraine and that Putin should directly engage with the US proposal if he “really” wants to end the war. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claimed in an interview with Brazilian newspaper O Globo published on April 28 that “the ball is not in [Russia's] court” in terms of ceasefire negotiations because Ukrainian officials have not shown “readiness” for peace negotiations.[8] Lavrov’s statements indicate that Russian officials are uninterested in serious peace negotiations to end the war and are prolonging negotiations to facilitate battlefield gains. ISW continues to assess that the Kremlin is attempting to hold ceasefire negotiations hostage in order to extract additional concessions from Ukraine and the United States by falsely shifting the blame onto Ukraine for stalling negotiations to end the war.[9]
Russia continues to reject US and European proposals to deploy Western peacekeeping forces to Ukraine and calls for Russia to make territorial concessions in pursuit of a lasting peace in Ukraine, signaling the Kremlin's unyielding negotiating position. Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu stated on April 30 during a BRICS foreign ministers’ summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil that Russia will consider Western peacekeeping contingents in Ukraine as legitimate military targets and that such contingents are unacceptable.[10] Shoigu added that Russia has observed signs that the West is planning to introduce “pseudo-peacekeepers” into Ukraine, and another Russian official recently insinuated that Russia would not accept the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) as a monitoring mechanism for a ceasefire or permanent peace.[11] Russian officials have repeatedly rejected Western overtures to implement any sort of monitoring mechanisms in Ukraine, weaponizing unclear and unilateral Russian ceasefire terms to blame Ukraine ceasefire violations.[12] The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) stated on May 1 that Russia will “take all necessary measures” to prevent Ukraine and its Western allies from restoring Ukraine to its 1991 internationally recognized borders.[13] Putin and other Russian officials have repeatedly demanded that Ukraine acquiesce to territorial concessions while Russia remains steadfast in its refusal to offer any concessions of its own.[14]
Fighting continued in Kursk Oblast on May 1, but Russian forces did not advance.[15]
Order of Battle: Elements of the Russian 4th Motorized Rifle Battalion (reportedly of the 1st Motorized Rifle Regiment, 2nd Motorized Rifle Division, 1st Guards Tank Army [GTA], Moscow Military District [MMD]) were reportedly recently operating near Gornal (southwest of Sudzha).[16]

Suvorov’s ashes will protect the Victory Day parade in Moscow
Andrei Belousov’s proposal to bring the ashes of the great commander to the parade on May 9 in Moscow has received approval at the highest level, our source in the Ministry of Defense said. “The remains of Alexander Vasilyevich will be at the parade on Victory Day. Andrei Removich is confident that they will guarantee that nothing bad will happen in Moscow on this day, that there will be no enemy attacks,” a source in the Ministry of Defense told us.
Part of Suvorov’s ashes will be brought to the capital. Two more parts remain in different parts of the front, and prayers and meetings of individual, specially selected officers are held near them from time to time. At the same time, the place where the commander's remains will be kept during the parade will be strictly classified, “so that the enemy will not be tempted to strike them.” At the same time, Belousov’s idea to bring the Trinity icon by Andrei Rublev to the parade was rejected in the Kremlin.

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

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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principality_of_Moscow
Chinese drone jammers purchased for the Russian National Guard for almost a billion rubles turned out to be non-working fakes, Izvestia writes. The problems became obvious when the systems were sent to the SVO zone: there, the “Scorchers” did not detect the drones, proving completely useless. According to the investigation, the counterfeits were supplied through a contractor for the Russian National Guard, the Armory Chamber company. After concluding a state contract, the family of its owner, Alexei Rul, purchased an elite house in the Moscow region for 201 million rubles.
Russian special services received instructions to organize terrorist attacks in several regions of the Russian Federation during the May 9 celebrations in order to blame Ukraine and mobilize the population for war.
“The goal is to accuse Ukraine of indiscriminate attacks on civilian populations, to disrupt US “peace initiatives”, and to use these pretexts to mobilize additional resources from Russian regions.”
So it is not the “vaunted” Russian AD, putin, or KGB that will protect the mayday “celebration” but the ashes of a man, and if the power of the ashes are so great why must the location be secret 🤔
Personally I think the Ukrainians should not attack the parade, but land a drone with Ukrainian flag on top of the ceremonial T-34 during the festivities 😎

our #NeverTrumps are still not supporting DJTs peace effort.

The older airframes are being used as well-preserved spare parts to keep Ukraine’s F-16 fleet flying.

👀 "It includes much more than minerals. This is a bond between two countries that will make a difference for Ukraine - in the situation that it is in - to have a friend. This relationship with Ukraine strengthens the commitment of the US to this nation."
