16 people killed in Kherson as a result of a massive Russian shelling during the day. Two supermarkets, train station and ambulance came under fire. This is called a “terrorist act” and deliberate killing of civilians. pic.twitter.com/vcuFnfSnub

If you think the drone attack on the Kremlin was a "false flag" you need explain for what purpose; "false flags" are intended to provide justification for upcoming military actions and Russia is using all their conventional military capability against Ukraine already.

I am not sure I understand all these takes - including that from respected experts - about a false flag operation. The drone attack on Kremlin, the accompanying images is a massive public humiliation for Putin and Russian army.

I understand the logic of the false flag argument,… pic.twitter.com/mltLioymYs

This is an absolutely massive refinery. At least 50 above ground oil tanks. Lots of intake/pipeline infastructure on site, as well.

Looks like at least *one* tank was ignited in the detonation so far. Smoke plume is large. pic.twitter.com/C7F2KE5L1R

An exploding drone on the Kremlin, right about all the May 9 Victory Day regalia, is far more embarrassing for the Russian leadership than it could ever be useful

Of those 24 attack drones, 15 Shaheds targeted Odesa; 12 were shot down by Ukrainian air defense, authorities said. Three struck a school dormitory and caused a fire but no one was injured. Wreckage shows Russians scrawled “For Moscow” and “For the Kremlin” on the drones. pic.twitter.com/bavA8pbSoA

In case anyone hasn't figured it out yet:
The increase in long range strikes on Russian fuel depots is most likely preparations for an offensive. I've previously said I believe an offensive will start in late may/early June. https://t.co/5Ufv7bK1nK

BREAKING: Israel has provided a missile detection system to Ukraine

— Samuel Ramani (@SamRamani2) May 4, 2023

The Israeli missile detection system will be used with Ukrainian radars

The result is more efficient Ukrainian air raid sheltering mechanisms, which allow specific parts of Ukraine to be closed rather than the whole country
