If Ukraine manages to liberate Staromlynivka and surrounding areas, which I think it is the short term goal in this phase, the possible HIMARS range complicates the Russian logistics very much View Quote

You may be right, so far I found that the video was initially released by a Ukrainian source, but it's claimed a Ukrainian drone is what filmed it. Geo location might show this is firmly on the Russian side of the front which could give it more credibility. We'll have to keep an eye on this either way, it's interesting. |

They need to capture a good bit more. They aren’t going to risk HIMARS that close to the front. They would need a stand-off distance to protect against drone/Arty/CAS. |

Well, we have seen evidence of HIMARS driven literally up the front at other places in the past year under cover of darkness to do a fire mission on important Russian logistics or command and control areas. I would not put it past them if they feel safe enough to do this again. |

Dmitry Mishov, Russian airman who defected, gives BBC interview
A military defector who fled Russia on foot has given a rare interview to the BBC, in which he paints a picture of an army suffering heavy losses and experiencing low morale. Lieutenant Dmitry Mishov, a 26-year-old airman, handed himself into the Lithuanian authorities, seeking political asylum. Dmitry said escaping from Russia in such dramatic fashion, with a small rucksack on his back, was his last resort. He is among a small handful of known cases of serving military officers fleeing the country to avoid being sent to Ukraine to fight - and the only case of a serving airman that the BBC knows of. ....... Overwhelming and common, according to Mishov, is unhappiness with low salaries. He says experienced air force officers are still paid their pre-war contract salary of up to 90,000 roubles (£865, $1090). This is while new recruits are being tempted into the army with 204,000 roubles (£1960, $2465) as part of an official and publicly advertised campaign. Dmitry says that while attitudes towards Ukraine may vary, no one in the army believes official reports about things going well at the front or about low casualties. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65867990 |
