The Bloke was a jihadist who subscribed to an Intolerant faith which has no time for freedom of expression. In response Oslo gay pride which set to take place on Saturday was  cancelled.

Ukraine: Maps of the conflict 27th April to 30th April 2022

(Ukraine) So at the start of April Moscow decided to pull all its troops out of the north of the country and redeploy them in the East (Donbas region) in which support the poor headway Russia was making against the Ukrainian defenders, now this is where it becomes interesting Moscow redeployed around 100 Battle Groups (I think the correct figure is 103) Each Battle Group is a self-contained unit (hence the name) containing 10 Main Battle Tanks (usually the latest iteration of the T72/80/90) 20 BMP3s, 10 BTR80s, backed up by engineer, artillery , Anti-tank, MRLS and air defence.

On paper such a show of force concentrated in a small area supported by Russia air support, long range Cruise missile support and divisional artillery should have made little work of primarily an infantry based Ukraine opposition, especially in the huge salient which consists of flat farm land and yet Moscow is making hard work of advancing for example the city of Popasna was captured on the 8^th of May and yet Moscow has only advanced 10 miles since them. Its open countryside,  don’t get me wrong Russian forces are advancing but 6 weeks to advance 10 miles. which can be seen in the following maps which show very little movement:
