Air Force Command of UA Armed Forces
On May 4, around 20:00 in the Kyiv region, during a scheduled flight, the Bayraktar TB2 UAV lost control. Since the uncontrolled presence of UAVs in the sky of the capital could lead to undesirable consequences, it was decided to use the calculations of mobile fire groups. The target is destroyed! It's a pity, but this is technology, and such cases happen. It is probably a technical malfunction, the reasons are being established. There were no casualties or injuries as a result of combat operations and the fall of UAV wreckage.

Be real, the last thing Russia wants after numerous failures at the front is presenting the population that even their capital city are not safe.
Russia does not need any sort of justification to bomb anything since they're already doing it continuously for the last year.if there's a lull in bombing that because it takes time to stock more missiles and they don't even have enough of it.

Prigozhin losing his mind tonight as he stands over a slew of Wagner corpses, ranting over Wagner's 70% ammo shortage in Bakhmut. He directs the rant directly at Gerasimov and Shoigu and is clearly concerned about Ukraine's upcoming counter offensive. He claims that Ukraine is beginning their counter offensive and have unlimited ammunition and personnel.

At the 30th Anniversary Summit of the Parliamentary Speakers of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (PABSEC), Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkiye (GNAT) Mustafa Şentop intervened during the speech of the Deputy Head of the Russian Delegation Olga Timofeeva, when the Ukrainian delegation attempted to protest with flags.
He told some people who entered the hall with the Ukrainian delegation that the parliamentary meeting could not be turned into a street movement, and in a sense expelled those who wanted to speak before he gave the floor, asking them to leave the hall immediately.

It wasn't well publicized (at least internationally) but Spain 
has delivered 20 M113 APCs to Ukraine at the end of April, along with the 10 Leopard 2A4 tanks that were made highly public. Every little bit counts and while the M113 is older and is being replaced across NATO, it's still very capable in its role, compared with what Russia is dragging out of storage currently.

Rogozin called for the use of tactical nuclear weapons against the Armed Forces of Ukraine
04.05.2023
The ex-head of Roskosmos, and now the head of the military advisers group "Tsar's Wolves" Dmitry Rogozin, who is in the zone of the special operation in the Zaporozhye region, said that tactical nuclear weapons (TNW) should be used to stop the counteroffensive of Ukraine.
“Beautiful weather reigned in the Zaporozhye region. The sun is shining, not a single cloud. And this means that the enemy is preparing to jump,” he said to Telegram. - Our units are at the forefront, the command and observation posts of the battalions are also near the line of contact. In front-line villages... people fear for their lives and move away from the front. The battalions are digging in, working out the tactics of defensive actions, some detachments even conduct full-fledged exercises. The expectation of an imminent mortal fight is hanging in the air.
Further, Rogozin predicted the scenario of the Ukrainian counteroffensive.
“We expect that the first blow [of Ukrainians] will be inflicted by long-range HIMARS systems. They will try to burn our line of defense. Secondly, we are waiting for a drone raid, they are already actively using them against our first line. Then heavy tanks will go - "Abrams", "Leopards" and all sorts of other evil spirits. Well, with the infantry. Therefore, our task now is to burrow into the fortified area as much as possible, withstand the first missile strike, cover and minimize the loss of personnel from the impact of a swarm of drones, and then meet the tanks, ”he said in a video message.
Rogozin explains the need to use nuclear weapons by unequal forces in favor of the enemy.
“In accordance with our doctrine, we have every right to use tactical nuclear weapons, because that is exactly what they exist for. The "great equalizer" for the moment when a clear discrepancy in the forces and means of conventional weapons is in favor of the enemy, therefore, the best method to destroy his offensive is TNW. With understandable, of course, consequences, but it seems to me that there is no other option at the moment, ”he concluded.
At the same time, Rogozin added: “We are waiting for the offensive, we are ready for it. We understand that it will be difficult, but no one is going to give up the position.”

If the Ukrainians are strking Moscow.
This is even more of an embarasment for the Russians
Now the Russians will be questioning how this war will be going.
Russian aim was also keep war out of their important cities like Moscow and St Petersburg.
Now the flames are slowly creeping up.
Embarassment upon embarassment Russians can keep on giving excuses for their stupid cope.
Constant calls of Nuking is only desperation.
Ukraine will suffer in the long term but will recover but for Russia the ramifications are going to be big

Do you ever wonder what the United States has donated / committed to Ukraine over the last year, since the outbreak of the war?

In Donetsk, they began to create anti-fragmentation shields-capes for attack aircraft and drone operators. The body armor cape will allow the military to protect themselves from a large number of fragments and small VOG-type ammunition, which are used in grenade launchers and dropped from drones. The cape shield can be hung on the arm or used as a cape.
Footage of the underground military depots left by the Ukrainian army in Soledar has been published. The size of military warehouses and workshops built back in Soviet times is simply colossal. In an underground city 5 kilometers long, at a depth of 150 meters, new and Soviet weapons were placed.
Anti-aircraft self-propelled gun "Gepard" of the Ukrainian army, German-made, came under attack from the Russian kamikaze drone "Lancet". This is the first defeat of the German self-propelled anti-aircraft gun "Gepard" in Ukraine by drones "Lancet". The unit is not destroyed, but the electronics are most likely damaged.
