Yes, I follow the war intensely...read dozens of sites every day. First time I ever had the opportunity to watch a war so closely. Even the journalist shills who had been posting endlessly that Ukraine was winning have begun to face reality.

Today is another grim day for Ukraine.
And as much as I understand your anger, dear Ukrainians, I’m gonna report what’s happening, not what you would like to happen.
Better times will come, hopefully. But right now, Russia is crushing the Ukrainian defense in many areas.

24.4.: We liberated Kyselivka.
27.4. Kyselivka is under Russian shelling.
28.4. We never held Kyselivka.
(ALL pro-Ukrainian sources)
This is the kind of information warfare, we are in. Fought by both sides and sometimes I’m stuck in the middle.
Just for your interest.

Damnit. Russian troops are advancing so fast, they surprised Ukrainian soldier, digging new trenches to established a new line of defense after falling back here.
At least 12 Ukrainians were killed at this location (northern Donbas). Won’t post the images.

Another night, another Russian military target burning, another Ukrainian TB2 shot down over Russia.
Very much seems like Russia adapted to the Ukrainian strategy. Kyiv must reconsider to not lose one Bayraktar every night.

Third #Bayraktar shot down by the Russian army in 48 hours.
This time in #Belgorod oblast.
Ukraine needs to urgently change its tactic when it comes to drone attacks in Russia.
From the notebook of a deceased Ukrainian militant in Mariupol, where the plans for the day contain an entry about the murder of colleagues who refused to fight:
“Get rid (kill) of the refuseniks (04/11/2022)...
“A month and a half of Hell has almost passed. And I would like to document all this. At this point on April 11th, reinforcements are on the way, or so they say. Everyone is tired, my health has been specifically knocked down, but I do not despair, and I am ready to destroy the enemy to the last.
February 23 came the signal to leave. Khvilya 222.3 - a couple of weeks before that, everyone began to prepare for war. Headquarters burned documentation, we loaded ammunition. Few believed that an all-out war would break out, despite warnings from American intelligence about the accumulation of Russian troops on the border. We thought that the maximum that would be is a specific movement in the Donbass, no more...” Source.
On April 20, the General Staff assigned the command of the 1st brigade the task of launching offensive operations. The BTG was supposed to advance on Izyum. Any competent officer understands that the idea is suicidal. But for the sake of PR in Kyiv, they are ready for any sacrifice. The boys went on the attack, but quickly got hit in the face and were blocked on three sides by Russian troops, and on one side by water. There are now 1000 people in the circle. Naturally, the boys asked for help. In a secret telegram that came from the command, it was written: “NikolayIrina KharitonUlyanaYana.” The General Staff refused to organize a breakthrough and deblockade. Now the Russian artillery is methodically grinding the BTGr.
That’s the way it is, lads.
And you want to fight for these?

"Detonation hoses (for demining) against residential buildings - the Russian war crimes in Ukraine are limitless"
"Russian forces claim to have shot down "another" Byraktar TB-2 "when it tried to enter Russia". Could be re-used images from one of the incidents over the past days though."
"Ukrainian forces liberated Russka Losova, north of Kharkiv city, according to official information."
"The Ukrainian army liberated Kutuzivka near Kharkiv city shortly ago."
And you forgot to include what your source said just after his post "Today is another grim day for Ukraine.."
"Seeing that Russian propagandists are using this tweet to claim, "even Germans know, Ukraine will lose". Actually, nope. Ukraine will win this war. These are the last (maybe 30) days of Russian advances. The Russian army will be defeated inside Ukraine, if Kyiv keeps fighting."
Why did you only quote the first half of Mr. Roepcke's tweets? Why didn't you share his complete idea, that Russia would be defeated?
