Zhidko currently directs the body of the Russian Ministry of Defense responsible for maintaining morale and ideological control within the Russian military, rather than commanding a military district. Switching commanders every couple of months isn’t going to help gain any objectives. Adding a political commissar to oversee the commander is a guarantee of failure. |

It looks pretty dire in Severodonetsk and Zolote. And what happened to the offensive in the South? Ukraine has said weeks before that they expected to withdraw from Severodonetsk if need be and use the high ground across the river to shell the Russians. The offensives so far have been exploitation of Russian weak areas, where it has forced them to move what they have to various regions to plug up the gaps that are being exploited by Ukraine. I would not expect any real major offensives to take back land until later this summer. This Russian advance is a clear setback for Ukrainian defenses in the Severodonetsk-Lysychansk area, but Russian forces will likely require further protracted battles with Ukrainian forces similar to the block-by-block fighting seen in Mariupol and Severodonetsk in order to capture Lysychansk. Russian forces continue to face force generation challenges and are committing unprepared contract servicemen to the invasion of Ukraine. The BBC’s Russian service reported on June 20 that new Russian recruits receive only 3 to 7 days of training before being sent to “the most active sectors of the front.”[9] The BBC also reported that volunteers within the conventional Russian military, Rosgvardia units, and Wagner Group mercenaries have become Russia’s main assault force, as opposed to full conventional military units. ISW has previously assessed that Russian units in eastern Ukraine are suffering from poor complements of infantry, slowing their ability to seize urban terrain. The Ukrainian General Staff reported on June 21 that Russian Airborne (VDV) units are forced to recruit reserve officers for short-term three-month contracts due to significant officer losses, Russian operations along the Izyum-Slovyansk axis are increasingly stalled as Russian forces prioritize operations around Severodonetsk. The Ukrainian General Staff also reported that Russian forces consolidated battalion tactical groups (BTGs) from the 5th Combined Arms Army and withdrew units of the 1st Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 1st Army Corps (the armed forces of the Donetsk People‘s Republic) to restore their combat capabilities, indicating that Russian forces are experiencing significant losses in ongoing operations in Luhansk Oblast. The Ukrainian General Staff reported that Russian forces launched unsuccessful ground assaults against Bohorodychne and Dolyna (north of Slovyansk) and did not attempt to conduct offensive operations in the Lyman area.[18] Ukraine’s Strategic Communications Directorate reported that Russian forces are redeploying several army-level headquarters units from frontlines in the Izyum and Lyman areas to Svatove and Horoshe, just 30-40 km east of Severodonetsk and Popasna.[19] The redeployment of these headquarters units may further complicate Russian logistics routes and troop management in Izyum and Lyman and indicates that these units may be further shifting to the Severodonetsk axis. The above doesn't exactly seem rosy for the Russians. |

(Shit starts blowing like a Chinese fireworks factory) Fuck, we need to get 50M away!! (Shit starts blowing up like the 4th Horseman of the Apocalypse visited) Maybe we should be thousands of Meters away!! I thought it was funny that at first they were like "Quick, comrades, to the Blyat-mobile!". That didn't seem to last too long. That's too good not to give it recognition. I liked when they got closer to the depot all of them leaned forward to watch the explosions, you can see a guy unassing the area in front of the truck heading toward the buildings as they all gawk at the sight at 1:39 in. |

I would not expect any real major offensives to take back land until later this summer. The above doesn't exactly seem rosy for the Russians. View Quote I keep hearing that things are going to be different later in the summer. I'm not yet convinced that isn't some kind of hopeful thinking. What is going to happen later in the summer that will give ukraine the ability to do what they can't do now? And, when? |
