Media blackout was already in effect, to reissue the decree suggests you're gonna be disappointed about what the news is when it comes out mate.

A large proportion of the Ukranian videos Ive seen are faked ones, some very clearly, done well done but 'too well staged" - surrenders in the field being classic ones that have in place fixed camera setups etc, which just ring faked.
First time a war has been played out on such a scale on social media. Fakes from both sides - just gotta trust your instinct and confirmation from both sides is usually the best indication that something is real.

In general Ukraine have been throwing a lot of men in to test the Russian lines and suffering pretty heavy casualties,
I'll throw up a couple of the usually most reliable and not ones who jump the gun but in general are more cautious before committing to a opinion.
Kherson: first serious Ukrainian attack, repelled with significant losses. Svatovo without serious enemy movement, on the contrary, they’ve missed a tactical Russian counter-offensive towards Krasni Liman. Donetsk/Adveyevka - after the Russian attack towards Pervomayskoye, the enemy withdrew to the last, third line of defense on Vodyanoye/Optytnoye. Bakhmut - Russian troops finally entered the town, but it is still contested in fierce battles.
The AFU tactics to break through RF positions (as they did before in Kherson and Kharkov) does not work anymore - RF prepared for it - and covered all the terrain with artillery - according to reports - most of them did not even reach the lines - and got hammered out far before.
We see the same pattern on the Oskol / Lyman front
It looks like AFU needs another strategy to overcome this - but their lack of artillery support tells me - it could be difficult.
The next problem for AFU is that their well coordinated night attacks are now also more difficult because their "StarLink" command and control support is also jammed - or even out of order.
Their only chance of success could be to try to storm in bad weather conditions with overwhelming infantry - but also that won't work on more or less flat and open terrain.

Also several reports along the line of Ukraine trying to force certain positions but taking heavy casualties from artillery/air support

General consensus is that Ukraine will launch a large assault in the area and including the nuclear power plant in the next few days

one bad one in the area of Nova Kamyinka which saw the Russians pretty much eliminate an attempted Ukranian breakthrough (recon in force)
Air craft seem way more active as are the number of drones strikes which seems none stop on any fixed location, rumours that Ukraine may have pulled back some or most of its better aa systems to protect criticsl infrastructure away from the front

@Mutzo Nutzo I'm off to bed mate, caveat on all that info is it is from the Russian side, byt I've only said the ones i tend to believe to a decent degree rather than the Russian mod or more hyperbolic milibloggers.

Nothing coming out from Ukraine side at all. Will have to wait and see.
