View Quote Russian TG The Ukrainian army has launched local offensive operations in the Bakhmut direction. This is evidenced by the messages of military officers Yarem, Simonov and Poddubny, as well as statements by Yevgeny Prigozhin. Thus, the enemy, taking advantage of the low readiness and motivation of the units of the Ministry of Defense that held the flank of the Bakhmut group, was able to recapture several positions near the key supply roads for the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near the villages of Khromovo and Ivanovskoye and continues attacks in the direction of Kleshcheevka. It is also reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine attempted a breakthrough using tanks in the direction of Soledar and are trying to gain a foothold in new positions. @milinfolive https://t.me/milinfolive/100508 🇬🇧🇺🇦 The Russian Ministry of Defense denied all data about the escalation in the sectors of the front (finally, live reports of events on the fronts!). And they confirmed the local offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine "in the direction of the settlement of Maloilinovka." 📌 Malo-Ilyinovka is located on the old maps of the General Staff 1 km north-east of Yagodnoye on the northern outskirts of Bakhmut. From the outskirts of Bogdanovka, where there was a breakthrough of the Armed Forces of Ukraine according to the Wagner PMC, to Malo-Ilyinovka - over 6 km. Thus, the Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed, at a minimum, the fact of active hostilities and a strike on the flank of the group in the place that the Wagner PMC military correspondents spoke about. #Bakhmut #Russia #Ukraine @rybar Support us https://t.me/milinfolive/100512 About the counteroffensive. None of the military correspondents did stuffing. The guys wrote the absolute truth that the equipment is on the way, that the fields are being cleared, the contingent is being increased in all directions, that they are tearing the flanks in Artemovsk. And all along the front, boys are dying every day. This does not mean that everything is on fire in all directions, and thousands of kilometers are on fire. This means that the front begins to noticeably move. There was preparation before that, but now it's a more active phase. The fights don't stop. Ukraine shells every day (they have enough shells, there is no limit on the number of shots). Ukraine is looking for where we are bursting at the seams. And a row of generals' stripes are bursting at the seams. And you should not panic, and scratch your belly too, otherwise I remember how they reassured me about Raisins, and about Balakleya, and about Liman. Mouths were shut, they say, do not sow panic. Nobody sows. Learn to work with information without adding your schizoidness to it. And it is also not necessary to report where and where our fighters flew from. And then they themselves raised a panic, perverting Kots, Pegov and Poddubny, and then they also laid out all the cards on the table. You have to be smarter and smarter. Fools, damn it. https://t.me/NeoficialniyBeZsonoV/25267 |

The islands have often been dismissed as inmaterial because Russia is supposedly entrenched on the left bank or the left bank is swampy and not suitable for landings. But they start to add up and this is a big one. Every inch closer make the job easier and brings more RuAF targets within range.

The commander of the First Battalion of the 3rd Assault Brigade, whose call-sign is Rollo, told a CNN team in eastern Ukraine that while Wagner units left their station southwest of the city of Bakhmut, the troops of the Russian army’s 72nd Brigade stayed and fought. His remarks contradict those of Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin, who accused the 72nd Brigade of deserting their positions. At one point, Rollo said, Kyiv's forces used powerful HIMARS rockets against Russian infantry, who were gathering to reinforce positions. HIMARS rockets, provided by the United States, are normally used on more long-range targets such as ammunition depots and have a reputation for pinpoint accuracy. |

View Quote I want them to get Western aircraft, but I can at least sort of understand the rationale behind why it hasn't happened yet. There's only a certain amount of funds allocated for Ukraine, and getting more passed with the GOP controlled house might prove to be difficult. Thus, it's smart to supply the most in demand stuff, and I think decision makers may have come to the conclusion that a handful of F16s aren't going to be a significant addition. I think they'd rather continue supplying, say, 155mm instead, because that's much more important for keeping Ukraine alive. Refusing to send long range munitions is purely cowardice, though. There's valid concerns about our own stockpiles of ATACMS, but I don't think that's what's motivating the Biden Administration not to send them. I think it's just fear of escalation and Biden being the dove that he is (this is the same guy who argued against the Bin Laden raid). It's the same thing with cluster munitions. Ukraine wants them, we have large stockpiles, and we can't use them ourselves. Not sending them is solely due to political concerns and concerns about optics. |

View Quote I think we can expect to see a lot more localized counter offensives like this, especially once the big one kicks off. They'll likely be used as a means to fix Russian units in place, and who knows, they might turn into larger scale breakthroughs if they find a weak spot in the Russian line. |

I think we are seeing the beginning of some pushes, but not the promised counter offensive yet, Ukraine has been shaping the battlefield for awhile now. Great to instill panic and fear in your enemy, then when and where he doesnt expect it you push and divide. I dont think the ground and mud has subsided enough for the whole push yet. Everyone should watch President Zelenskys speech today.
