Russia arrested some of those responsible for the setting alight railway cabinets, one was not charged as his father is an FSB officer, the other families are demanding he is charged or none of them are.

From Helmets too....
Germany has increased the military aid for Ukraine.
The following items have been added: -
10x Leopard 1 A5 -
14x tracked all-terrain vehicles Bandvagn 206 (BV206) -
5x All Terrain Tracked Carrier Warthog Ambulances -
4x truck tractor trains 8x8 HX81 and 4x semi-trailers -
16x "Zetros" trucks -
13x trucks MAN TGS -
1x mine clearing tanks WISENT 1 -
10x reconnaissance drones VECTOR -
12x ground surveillance radars GO12 -
3x border protection vehicles (type not mentioned) -
1.4 million rounds of ammunition for fire arms -
1,020x 155mm ammunition -
10,000x safety glasses
Germany is gradually becoming what I want her to be, exceeding the nominal amount of help compared to all other nations (except the USA). This is promising but we are still see just glimpses of what the "German machine" is capable of.

More classic Russian F*ck ups, actually it is probably the troops fault, as they never dispersed away from the vehicle far enough to allow it to maneuver.
Glad to see the increase in support. Well done, Germany.
Took them long enough.

Tabs please !
Nice promise, it's delivery that counts.
Out of interest, is the UK keeping up supplies in any quantity, or have we run out of government surplus now?
Denmark may block passage of Russian oil tankers to markets
Under new EU plans, the Financial Times reports, Denmark will be tasked with inspecting and potentially blocking Russian oil tankers passing through its waters.
By the way, about 60% of Russia's offshore oil exports are transported through the Baltic Sea - and they cross Danish straits on their way to international markets.

Also, the eastern half of Øresund / Öresund is Swedish, so this wouldn't only be a Danish matter.

Russian reinforcements arrive to the left bank and are temporarily housed in 2 buildings prior to being deployed, then depart the world…
They never even made it to the front.

A Russian blogger was so keen to get the story out about a 15 year old Ukrainian student who was arrested for sending details of Russian air defence sites, that he posted the locations in his own blog….. muppet

The positional war in #Ukraine is not a stable stalemate, writes @criticalthreats’ Fred Kagan in a new essay for @TheStudyofWar. The current balance is in fact highly unstable and could readily be tipped in either direction by decisions made in the West: https://isw.pub/Ukraine111523

Norway is to make the largest air defence investment of the past 30 years at a total of 12.6 Bn NOK, of which 5.1 Bn NOK is for replacing donations to Ukraine.
Package includes 8 launchers, 4 Fire Distribution Centers and AIM-9X, AIM-120C and AMRAAM-ER missiles.

Not just mosques but now even Muslim weddings are a target from which Russian military recruiters are assured a steady supply of impoverished cannon fodder.
A Muslim wedding is raided, 50 men are dragged off to die in Ukraine.

Wow. It sure seems like this sort of stuff is finally going to get a reaction from Russians, at least Muslims. So are the Russkies actually going in to a wedding(s) and carting men away then and there?
I don't believe a word of it.
