At least 31 civilians were injured and six killed in the attacks, according to the Ukrainian military and local officials. Three of the dead were railway workers killed by a strike in the Donetsk region. Russia also attacked a railway facility in the Cherkasy region but no casualties were reported. The latest attacks on the rail network came after Russia’s defense minister, Sergei Shoigu, promised to target Western weapons as they arrived in Ukraine. “We will increase the intensity of strikes on logistics centers and storage bases of Western weapons,” he said in a speech Tuesday at the ministry.

☆ One of Russia's most senior generals in Ukraine said he was fired for questioning the Kremlin's war management, and accused his bosses of backstabbing his men and 'decapitating' the army

A top Russian general in Ukraine is accusing the Kremlin of "decapitating" the war effort. Maj. Gen. Ivan Popov said he was giving honest feedback to his bosses, and was immediately fired. In his voice note, Popov said he was faced with the choice of either telling his bosses what they wanted to hear or to "call a spade a spade." As of Wednesday evening, neither the Russian state media nor the Defense Ministry has commented on Popov's remarks, whether he has been fired, or on the circumstances of such a dismissal. Gurulyov, the state duma member who published Popov's voice note, confirmed to Russian state TV on Wednesday that Tsokov was killed.

☆ Russia keeps up missile attacks on Ukraine ahead of expected Kyiv offensive

KYIV, May 7 (Reuters) - Russia kept up its missile attacks on Ukraine on Sunday ahead of a widely anticipated Ukrainian counteroffensive, targeting an industrial site in the southern Mykolaiv region, authorities said. Ukrainian air force spokesman Yuriy Ihnat told local television on Sunday morning that a total of six of those missiles had been fired at Ukraine overnight but that none had hit their targets. Russian forces have stepped up their long-range missile strikes on civilian and infrastructure targets in recent days. The overnight strikes coincided with Ukrainian and Russian media reports of multiple explosions across Russian-occupied Crimea. Ukraine, without confirming any role in those attacks, says destroying enemy infrastructure is preparation for a planned ground assault.

"After a trip to the... Kherson region, one thing became clear - our people there need a lot of help. On that (east) bank of the river, the (Russian) forces are gathering.

☆ Russia kept Ukrainian prisoners in open-air cages and used mock executions to extract information, witnesses tell NYT

A witness told NYT of open-air cages; another spoke of being put through a mock execution. Serhii was reported as living in Balakliya, a town south of Kharkiv city that was recaptured on September 8. Serhii described being out with his brother and a friend when Russian soldiers detained them, the paper reported. The soldiers stripped them, beat them and subjected them to interrogation to try to extract information on the positions of Russian forces, he told the paper. The three were held in a basement and released two weeks later, the paper reported him as saying.
☆ A month after Putin started drafting Russians to fight in Ukraine, some are already coming home in body bags
  + stars: | 2022-10-21 | by ( Sinéad Baker | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Some, Putin said, are trained for as little as 10 days, leading commentators to conclude they were effectively cannon fodder. In Western armies, it would likely be impossible to die within a month of enlistment, because training lasts much longer than that. Radio Free Europe, the US-funded outlet, also reported deaths among newly-mobilized men, swiftly returned to Russia in body bags. Alberque said the mobilized troops probably could not fight effectively — and may never have been meant to. David Betz, a professor in the War Studies department, also at King's said that so few mobilized troops had arrived that their effective casualty rate was "zero."
☆ Retaking Ukraine's Luhansk region is slow going because so many Russian troops fled there in other retreats, its governor said
  + stars: | 2022-10-19 | by ( Sinéad Baker | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
The governor of the occupied Luhansk region said many of those who fled ended up there. Haidai Serhiy, the governor of Luhansk, noted wrote on Telegram on Wednesday morning that "many Ukrainians expected the de-occupation of Luhansk Region to be as quick as that of Kharkiv Region." And many Russian troops retreated into Luhansk and the Donetsk regions. Luhansk is still almost entirely occupied by Russian troops, though Ukraine has retaken some small areas since it started its counteroffensive, preventing the region from being fully under Russian control. Serhiy said "freshly mobilized Russians, prisoners, and a lot of equipment and air defense have arrived in Luhansk region."
☆ Russian soldiers used a police station as a 'torture camp' where they interrogated people with electric shocks, Ukrainian officer says

Balakliya, a town in the eastern Kharkiv region, was recaptured by Ukraine on September 8. A regional official said the town's police station was used as a "torture camp" by Russians. "I will not describe all the tortures, I will only say that the 'easiest' was when they received electric shocks." He told the BBC that he was kept at the station for more than 40 days and was tortured with electricity. Officials told the BBC that locals were scared to even pass the station, in case they were grabbed by Russian soldiers.
