🦉 Svitlana Samoilenko, the organizer of the pseudo-elections in Zaporizhzhia, was liquidated in Berdyansk, GUR reported.
Since 2022, she cooperated with the occupiers and intimidated Berdyan residents to participate in illegal voting. The woman was a member of the "election commission" in the upcoming illegal "elections of the president of russia" with the right to a decisive vote.
Samoilenko was blown up in her car today. Russian media wrote that explosives with a capacity of 1.5 kg in TNT equivalent were planted under the car. The woman died from her injuries in the hospital.

It’s obvious why the Russians would prioritize their hunt for the Ukrainians’ HIMARS. Three times in the span of just a week last month, HIMARS targeted Russian troops lining up for inspection within range of the launchers’ six 57-mile M30/31 rockets, each of which scatters 182,000 tungsten balls—like giant shotgun shells.
Losing one HIMARS isn’t a killing blow for the Ukrainian army. The United States gave Ukraine 39 HIMARS. The United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and France also donated 25 M270s, which in essence are tracked HIMARS with twice the rocket-capacity. All that is to say, the Ukrainians still have 98 percent of their HIMARS and M270s.

From "The Analyst":
NO CHANCE OF TAURUS NOW
The Russians knew what they were doing when they leaked the Luftwaffe commander discussing Taurus deployment to Ukraine. Stupidly discussing secret information over an unencrypted WebEx channel, the German communications services should be ashamed of themselves for letting this happen.
Yet the leak, letting everyone know the Russians listened in and how they did it is unusual. They gave away their source and revealed it because the value of doing so totally outweighed the value of keeping quiet.
The Russians called in the German Ambassador to dress him down over the comments. They have painted themselves as they alyways do, as the victim of NATO aggression. The revelations that British servicemen may be on the ground in Ukraine are probably no surprise to the Russians at all. In their place I would have assumed it was so. They would do the same thing and have in the past, so their outrage is entirely contrived.
However it has sent left wing news sites like the Guardian into a panic and outraged right wing pro Russian sources as irresponsibly moving towards war.
For Chancellor Sholz however, it’s made his decision not to supply the missiles even more solidified. Everything he wrings his hands over - the possibility of adding to the crisis, the fake outrage of the Russians, the dangers of ‘direct’ involvement, have all been confirmed - if you want to believe that theory as he does.
But Russia scored big with this, because they were terrified of Taurus. It’s the one thing that could have wrecked the Kerch bridge and any number of deeper command and control centres, ammo dumps and the like. Keeping it out of the war is a victory and worth the price of revealing a few fleeting comms intercept secrets. There are plenty more.
