11:01 Dissatisfaction with the new "authority" is growing in Mariupol. As Petr Andryushchenko said, Mariupol residents, accustomed to democracy, are increasingly openly expressing dissatisfaction and leaving complaints about the actions of Ivashchenko and Kharmyshev in Pushilin's office.
In particular, residents of the city are outraged by the exchange rate of the ruble, which in Mariupol is 1.7-1.8 hryvnia per ruble (in Donetsk - 2.2). "Apparently, the budgets received from Russia to finance the occupational propaganda have already been 'used' without result, with a big failure. And this is already getting to someone in Russia," writes an adviser to the mayor of Mariupol.
He also spoke about the unexpectedly low level of collaboration, in particular in the field of education. Despite the announced opening of a second school, kindergarten and gymnasium No. 2, the occupation authorities still cannot find teachers.
10:51 In Mariupol, the "celebration" on May 9 was moved to the Primorsky district due to the fact that the invaders could not cope with the blockages in the center - because of the refusal of Mariupol residents to work for food, Mayor's adviser Petr Andryushchenko said. Promptly launched advertising from the "mayor" Ivashchenko to work for a salary did not work.
He also said that Russian journalists and bloggers were forced to radically crop the video and overlay music to show at least something. Even the "restoration of the Komsolets" on the memorial and the return of the Soviet names of the Liberators' Warriors Square and st. Grushevsky did not give the expected effect of euphoria. There were practically no people at the "celebration".
10:32 Russia, under the influence of military failures, is changing its propaganda. According to Ukrainian military intelligence, the heads of the Kremlin TV channels, Internet media and the pro-Putin army of bots are already being instructed to move to a new information policy.
In order to change the perception of Russians about military "invincibility" and prepare society for possible defeat, the Russian media were ordered to talk about the Russian-Ukrainian war as an armed confrontation between Russia and all EU and NATO countries. According to Kremlin political technologists, this will reduce the shame of losing to a stronger opponent. The propagandists of the occupying country will now tell the Russians about the need to unite for the sake of their own survival and blind trust in the policies of the Kremlin.
10:27 Russia now mainly uses X-22 missiles - an old Soviet product from the 60s, as well as Daggers - a modern hypersonic missile from MiG-31 aircraft. The use of the most ancient (and dangerous) and the most modern missiles at the same time shows that the Russian Federation has begun to save high-precision missiles, Arestovich said.
According to the adviser to the head of the OP, this means that there will be more misses and, accordingly, hits on residential areas (X-22), and there will also be more hits on selected targets (Dagger) without the ability to intercept (hypersonic missiles are not intercepted).
"The combination of accurate hits on the one hand and more frequent cases of destruction of residential areas on the other will give a media, and therefore a psychological picture of mass missile terror. It, in turn, will give rise to the effect of the inability of the ZSU to resist the enemy in this regard and will push hysterical breakdowns in the public mind ", - Arestovich writes and urges not to succumb to "zrada", since the effect of a missile war is designed precisely for this.
10:21 The US House of Representatives may pass a financial aid plan for Ukraine today, its amount has increased from $33 to $40 billion, Reuters reports, citing two congressional sources.

10:11 In Kiev this morning, there has been a deterioration in air quality, in particular in Svyatoshinsky, Obolonsky and Podolsky districts. Klitschko said that this is due to the ongoing elimination of fires in the ecosystems of the Kyiv region. In particular, peat bogs are smoldering in the Buchansk region.
10:09 Explosions will be heard in Poltava on May 10-13. The head of the OVA, Dmitry Lunin, warned that practice firing was planned these days from 08:00 to 14:00, and urged local residents not to panic.

This miscalculation led to exorbitant losses and the subsequent weakening of Russia's operational concentration.

We are defending Ukraine. And defending Ukraine means defending the rules-based international order. Otherwise, it will be the law of the jungle."
