#Ukraine: The Ukrainian forces keep receiving foreign military aid - here we can see a glimpse of M113A1/A2 armored personnel carriers donated by Lithuania - 20 claimed to be delivered. Lithuania received a huge number of these APCs in the early 2000s from Germany.

#Ukraine: Near Novopil village, on the border of Donetsk and Zaporizhia Oblasts, the 98th Azov Battalion/Ukrainian Army used a 9M113 Konkurs pattern ATGM to strike a Russian Armoured vehicle- which seems to be successful. However, identification is difficult.

#Ukraine: Tachankas of the Ukrainian army- a Browning M2HB .50 machine gun installed on a Nissan Patrol 4x4 of the Zaporizhzhia Territorial Defense. The M2HB is likely one that was donated by Italy, given the ammo seen here is Italian API-T made by Società Metallurgica Italiana.

#Ukraine: A Russian Orlan-10 reconnaissance UAV was shot down by the Ukrainian forces on the border of Kherson and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts - interestingly, the drone has 2 serial numbers at same time, meaning some parts were cannibalized from a different Orlan.

#Ukraine: The Ukrainian forces report a shot down of a Russian Ka-52 attack helicopter in the East - here it was twice fired upon by Polish PZR Piorun MANPADS. Whilst it is hard to verify the loss, we see distinct smoke on the horizon in the end.

For comparison, Italian FH70 howitzers are mostly painted in one color and are usually coupled by Fiat 6605 (or similar) trucks.

1,154

#Ukraine: We looked more deeply into this FH70 - and we believe this particular example was supplied by Estonia. It has very distinctive 3-color camo and the most importantly the truck used to tow it is a MAN Kat 1 6x6 - as used by the Estonian army.

#Ukraine: Recently delivered Italian FH70 155mm howitzers in use with the Ukrainian army. Interestingly, the projectiles seen here are Finnish 155 tkr88 (a derrivative of French LU 111 HE) with a range of 24 kilometers. This may be a part of recent undisclosed aid from Finland.

Our goal is to show the incident and explain the seriousness of using cluster munitions on populated areas, which can amount to war crimes.

796

Here is a different view on the incident from Ukrainian sources. You can decide for yourself who used them, as both sides accuse each other without any evidence. suspilne.media/243373-na-hеer

709

In this case we are using data from the Russian side- and the same approach would be applied to Ukrainian reports in similar cases on the opposite side of the conflict. The use of such munitions, especially close to populated areas, can be a serious issue for civilian safety.

421

As we see, there is a bit of misunderstanding- we didn't state they were used against civilians- just landed there. We know that both sides possess such mines and we are thoroughly monitoring their use. So far the only reports with images are coming from the Russian side.

#Ukraine: Video earlier this month from the Ukrainian 60th Infantry Brigade (Reserve) showing training with newly-supplied Polish T-72M1/M1R tanks for use against the Russian attackers. Note that these examples have not yet received Kontakt-1 ERA.
