Haven't been able to find much in the way of updates on the offensive in Kherson. Anyone else?

There is some information out there. But I believe the UAF made a statement asking people to refrain from posting, and that they themselves would be radio silent for a while as the offensive went along.

Nope. There just doesn't seem to be news available. Which isn't an encouraging sign, but ultimately doesn't mean much.

There is a total blackout requested by the UAF on any reports about Kherson.

That said, this just happened a couple hours ago in Kherson. Make sure to watch till the end.

That and Russia's statement on how Russians caught a bunch of saboteurs in the city and killed them ala Baghdad Bob while the Russian appointed head of the Kherson region is making statements in a Marriot hotel in Russia tells you know all you need to know on how it's progressing for now.

Fascinating stuff. Fingers crossed until we hear more.

Slava Ukraine.

I'm kind of confused by that Twitter post referring to the guy filming as an "orc[a]". Wouldn't he just be a local Ukrainian citizen under occupation who just had his windows blasted out?

Russian media report "heavy fighting in Kherson" and that "Ukraine employs their best forces in the battle for Kherson". You can tell things are not going well for Russia.

Another Ukraine-related but somewhat tangential video from Perun.

I found it really interesting, as always.

Oligarch and chairman of Lukoil Ravil Maganov has "fallen" out of a hospital window in Moscow and died.

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe...ce-2022-09-01/

At least at the early stages of the war, Maganov was an open critic of the attack on Ukraine.

At least at the early stages of the war, Maganov was an open critic of the attack on Ukraine.
From the BBC article about this:

"Several Russian energy oligarchs have died in unusual circumstances in recent months:

The body of millionaire Novatek former manager Sergei Protosenya was found alongside his wife and daughter at a Spanish villa in April

A former vice-president of Gazprombank, Vladislav Avayev, was found dead with his wife and daughter in their Moscow flat, also in April

In May, a former Lukoil tycoon Alexander Subbotin died of heart failure, reportedly after seeking alternative treatment from a shaman."

It's literally a meme at this point. Guys falling out of windows.
