Openly threatening to murder uniformed combatants who have surrendered is reprehensible.

So is said uniformed combatants knowingly firing on civilians who are fleeing or have been told they're being provided safe passage (happening). Note, I'm not in support of either.

---

The Russian artillerymen are committing war crimes. They would likely face execution in the ICC anyway.

---

I don't believe the ICC has capital punishment as a sentence.

Even if that's true, one war crime does not justify another.

Which is why I said that I don't support it. But I understand why they would feel that way. If someone blew up your family and then surrendered to save their sorry asses, you'd want to smoke them too.

Yep, it's one thing to feel that way and act on it, it's another to put that in a standing order from military command.

Differs from some earlier reporting about Kherson falling. Guess it depends on what you consider "fallen".

⚡️Kherson Mayor Kolykhaev: “The city is surrounded.”

According to Kherson mayor Igor Kolykhaev, the situation in the southern regional capital is tense with Russian troops entering the city and taking administrative buildings.

My guess is it's more of a tactic to increase Russian desertion since it was highly publicized.

My mistake. Wienies. They seldom impose sentences longer than 30 years, either.

And Ukraine abolished their death penalty too.

Special forces insertion? Or special delivery supply drop? FYI, they just turned off their transponder right after I snapped this capture.

No tankers or E-3s squawking for a while now...just Forte10 taking a look at Kaliningrad and then coming back to fly to Polish Border near Belarus.

Ukrainian sources are claiming that they have recaptured the town of #Makariv west of #Kyiv and a large encirclement of russian troops is forming south of the Kyiv-Zhytomyr highway. #turpo #UkraineRussiaWar #RussiaGoHome #Motti @pmakela1 @eskelinen_antti @AnttiParonen

Still on the tracker for me. Probably flying to the border to pick someone up.

C17s and 130s from UK have been going nonstop into Poland. We have had a ton from Germany as well but the last 48 hours not so much at least with transponders on. Yesterday two of our C17s met up off the coast of Maine eastbound but squawked off just into the atlantic.

So can you snap a capture of it? Are you talking about Forte10? Or the Blackhawk headed towards Ukraine?

Mass surrender of cut-off Russian troops would be absolutely amazing.

Verified?

Wouldn't shock me if we have some guys on the ground, but I doubt that transponder ever comes on if they're involved

---

Might need to keep it on until that get close to the border if the Polish are on high alert...

Does anyone have any info of non-weapon supplies streaming in the Ukraine? Food, fuel, medicine, etc. There better be a massive current flowing to the defenders, that can be reached, by now.

---

Just a bit from personal experience. A consultant buddy of mine represents some Ukrainian companies (he's a former federal official in a prior administration) and has been in daily communication with them and the Ukrainian consul in Houston. He's organized a shipment of donated medical supplies and 5,000 helmets and vests for medical personnel. It's being FedExed to Poland and distributed from there. I can only assume there are a number of like-minded initiatives throughout the West.

Not subscribed to TexAgs so I can't post a picture. And no I was talking about Duke 43. It's off the tracker now for me.

If they were going to be doing something covertly going over the border, I am highly doubtful that the we would ever see it.

Someone else reported something similar an hour or two ago - don't remember who though. Could be circular reporting.

Anybody can post a pic on Texags. Just have to use imgur instead of the Texags image loader.

I understand how it works and have an Imgur account. I'm just not going to go down a rabbit hole on this.

Good. We need them feeling themselves considering what the next several years looks likely to hold.

The Japanese Foreign Ministry has stated that Japan considers the southern Kuril Islands occupied by Russia.

The ministry stressed that the occupation contradicts international law and added “as does the ongoing Russian army attack on Ukraine”.

Doubt that is accurate - they are balancing their on China as well. This would be a bit much for them. Abe recently commented something to the effect of recognizing and defending Taiwan.

What was that about history repeating itself? Successfully stay out of a war in Europe until Japan drags us into it? Russia might wish they hadn't sent all the eastern Asia troops over to fight in Ukraine.

Sorry if this has already been posted but I haven't kept up today. We have a surveillance drone that's been sweeping the borders all day. It boggles me that transponders for military aircraft are active during operations such as this.
