This article from Popular Mechanics citing the leaked documents stating that Russia's use of electronic warfare has been effective in blocking the signals of many of the G.P.S guided ordinance , even in some circumstances HIMARS, something for other nations to consider in considering these weapons

NATO's wins in this war is just endless. You cannot out any monetary figure on the value of the information they are getting out of this war. I expect every single Western designer/manufactueer of smart munitions to absorb all this info and come out with better products.

The supposedly first confirmed operational use of Switchblade 600 loitering munitions in Ukraine. It will be interesting to see if there weapons can live up to their hype and can be supplied in large enough quantities to affect this conflict. Although I am not certain about the veracity of Yahoo news, the provided information does appear to match the facts.

Watch the First Confirmed Use of a Tank-Busting Switchblade-600 Drone In Ukraine
New footage reveals the first confirmed use of the tank-busting Switchblade-600 drone that the U.S. first ordered for delivery to Ukraine last year.
I was talking about Xi Jinping. IIRC the PRC has 344 nuclear warheads.
It appears that the Russians maybe trialling schurzen sheet protection as the Wehrmacht used on its Panzer 4s and some SPGs during WW2. The tank in question is a Russian T-80BV.
Video of the Russian Su-34 accidental bombing of Belograd. Definitely was a delayed action bomb.
Russian tank being destroyed by Ukrainians. Looks like it might be another entry in the flying turret competition.
A nasty little Ukrainian trick.

It's probably not the first confirmed use. Buried in the footage I haven't gotten to is allegedly a SB600 strike against a Russian Tor-2MDT. As to affecting the conflict, I suspect it depends on how it's used as much as quantities. Russia has relatively modest quantities of Lancet loitering munitions but by predominantly using them for counter-battery strikes, they've managed to overcome the poor performance in counter-battery fires of Russian artillery.The supposedly first confirmed operational use of Switchblade 600 loitering munitions in Ukraine.

It appears Wagner forces have cut the road out of Khromovo west-ward. This doesn't shut off the smaller road out of Khromovo to Ivanovskoe but reduces one more supply line. And the more traffic is forced into a single road, the easier it becomes to spot and hit. Though the hold looks pretty tenuous and presumably a timely counter-attack can change this.

A interesting article from the Chinese ambassador to France stating that former soviet countries had not international accord to concretise their status as sovereign countries, and there was no legal standpoint for their sovereignty, perhaps in some way China may use this argument to justify its own actions.
Considering the recent visit by President Macron to China ,and previously China had stated that Ukraine was a sovereign country ,it sends mixed messages and not of a country trying to present as neutral

The problem with this is that China recognised their sovereignty. He's saying that China's recognition of independence, or a country's borders, has no legal status. I don't think he or his masters have thought this through.A interesting article from the Chinese ambassador to France stating that former soviet countries had not international accord to concretise their status as sovereign countries, and there was no legal standpoint for their sovereignty, perhaps in some way China may use this argument to justify its own actions.

And, of course, it's bollocks. They're members of the EU, NATO & the UN, among other things. There are international accords galore about their status as sovereign countries.
It appears that Ukraine has established positions on the eastern bank of the Dnipro River north of Oleshky (7km southwest of Kherson City) and west of Dachi (10km south of Kherson City). It appears that Putin is doing a Hitler and insisting on offensive operations rather than preparing defensive positions for the upcoming Ukrainian offensive. Russian forces appear to have made minor gains in Bakhmut but I am wondering if the Ukrainians dogged resistance here is now designed to fix Russian forces in place when they launch their upcoming offensive. It would make sense because 20 - 30,000 Russian troops tied down at Bakhmut can't be used elsewhere. Putin's made it a political imperative to fully invest both the Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts and that may turn out to be an anvil around his neck. Time will tell.

Russian milbloggers have provided enough geolocated footage and textual reports to confirm that Ukrainian forces have established positions in east (left) bank Kherson Oblast as of April 22 though not at what scale or with what intentions. Geolocated

Russian sources are denying this, and evidence isn't forthcoming. I think we'll have to wait and see. Whether or not they have a foothold, it seems unlikely they can hold it, and unlikely they will stop launching probing attacks across the river. Fixing Russian forces is likely the intent.It appears that Ukraine has established positions on the eastern bank of the Dnipro River north of Oleshky (7km southwest of Kherson City) and west of Dachi (10km south of Kherson City).

The ISW are quoting Russian sources about the Ukrainian movements in the Kherson region, and the imagery was geolocated. The Ukrainian OPSEC is really good, so we won't know what their intentions are until they launch their offensive. Personally I wouldn't be surprised if they make a run from Kherson to say Mariupol in an attempt to cut the Russian supply lines to Crimea etc. If they successfully manage that, hold it, destroy the bridge between Crimea and the Russian mainland, the Russian forces in Crimea will be in a power of trouble.
From some of the blogs it appears they have established a foothold on some of the islands from various watercraft , as there is not any bridges for them to exploit and that Russian forces still have air superiority ,they may be limited to guerilla tactics to distract Russian forces from further

Even “established a foothold” is quite a statement in this case, in my opinion. ISW also mentioned that they established supply lines to those “footholds”, according to the same sources. At the very least, the latter part has to be rubbish. It doesn’t take much to look at what the location of those “footholds” actually is. Some “dachas” directly on the left shore aside, the whole area is literally swamps that have little to none potential beyond “probing attacks” and “guerrilla tactics”, if that. But it does provide some sort of development and “good vibes” - that is, reason to speculate - for the readers. Especially because recently, most of everything else regarding the counteroffensive has been quite… I don’t want to call it negative, but it doesn’t look like any of the western leaders and intelligence communities (and it appears many analysts agree) expect any significant breakthroughs or gains by the Ukrainian forces. We shall see.

I suspect they would have a hard time doing a mad dash to Mariupol with no vehicles. With no permanent bridges over the Dnepr (whats the status of the dam), you will have a problem with supply and heavy equipment. Unless the RU have completely denuded the area (they cant be THAT stupid) all this is, is a series of raid and pin-pricks to keep the RU occupied.
