Overnight, Russia carried out a series of Geran-2 drone strikes on Zaporizhzhia City and the nearby city of Vilnyansk, resulting in fires breaking out.
NASA FIRMS data also shows that a fire broke out at agricultural buildings in the village of Novovasylivka (47.93411, 35.48510).

Once again, we have another instance of people inventing ludicrous timelines and deadlines for Russian offensives, and then claiming Russia "failed" when they eventually don't reach these fake deadlines.
ISW is one of the biggest users of this propaganda tactic, aimed at manipulating battlefield success. The only person who has claimed Russia has set a deadline to capture the rest of Donbas by the end of 2026 is Zelensky, not Putin, or any Russian official. There is exactly zero evidence beyond Zelensky's word that Russia has set a goal of capturing Donbas by the end of the year.
The earliest example of this propaganda tactic being used was at the very beginning of the war, where former U.S. General Miley claimed in an interview with Fox News that Russia would likely be able to take Kyiv in 3 days. This resulted in people hallucinating that Russian officials, or even Putin himself, stated that it would be a "3 day special military operation", ultimately creating that whole "Kyiv in 3 days" meme. Now I'm not doubting that Russia probably thought the war would be over in less than 4 years, but this doesn't change the fact that these false timelines being created are only used for propaganda purposes.
Any real analyst, Pro-Russian or Pro-Ukrainian, generally agrees that Russia will likely not be able to capture the rest of Donbas by December 31 2026. This new timeline is invented purely for the purpose of saying in 6 months time that Russia failed in their offensive goals, and then spinning this into a narrative that is heavily skewed in favour of Ukraine.

I recently spoke to someone currently living in Kramatorsk who was willing to give a short piece of text about his recent experiences in the city, where the security situation is steadily deteriorating as Russian forces inch closer:
"Today we are relocating a healthcare facility from Kramatorsk to Lozova [Kharkiv Oblast].
So, what is the situation like in Kramatorsk?
There are more and more Russian drones over the city and it does not matter whether it is day or night. Yesterday evening alone, there were three KAB bomb strikes.
More and more businesses are closing, and more people are leaving the city. I believe that within the next two to three months, the situation in Kramatorsk will become really bad.
Most people, including Journalists are absolutely clueless about Ukraine and the war. I met a journalist last year who was for the first time in Ukraine and then gives interviews how he heroically survived air raid alerts. I also like the Kyiv and Lviv war tourists and then go home and tell their friends they were at war."
------------------------------
I'm thinking about turning this into a series of posts, covering the experiences of people living in Russian and Ukrainian cities that experience significant attacks. I made a similar post about someone in Druzhkivka a few months ago, and people seemed to find it interesting and informative.
If you're currently in a city where there is significant shelling, whether that be in Kyiv, Belgorod, Slovyansk, Zaporizhzhia, or any other place that experiences the day-to-day realities of the war, please DM he here on Twitter or @AMK_Mapping1 on Telegram. You would remain entirely anonymous and would be in complete control of what parts I quote.
