They have some serious momentum now.

There isn't any troops behind frontline. 1400km of frontline and <200.000 soldiers. They could pass border and capture Belgorod, if they want to. Problem is, aside from cracking defense you also need to defend obtained land from counter attacks.

ЗСУ flipping the table, ruining any plans of RF. Biggest question is - how big will be snowball effect? Can RF hierarchical system maintain this stress or it overheat and blow up.

I highly doubt RF could maintain as many actions as needed. They regularly ****ed up in way more predictable situations. We don't really know what happening right now, but from rumours - they panicking and making things harder.

Doubtful. Maybe outskirts, not whole city. Its base of operations in region, after all.

Situation with Izum and Liman not as clear, according to some channels(ProRUAF) those two under Ukraine, according to other still contended. Anyway, RUAF and separatists forces in Izum ****ed.

Liman was sieged by RUAF for two months(April-May) and , looks like, Ukrainians retake it in one day. Amount of butthurt in Z channels is incredible. 🤣

Its turning into a complete rout in the Kharkiv front for Russia 😮

There is opinion, that main viewer of this is Putin himself. Putin didn't use internet, his main source of information is state TV and reports.

One thing we could say for sure - no one really knows actual state of russian army. Every Russian commander from lieutenant to colonel general lying in reports.

 

[Dennisch]

With the current momentum the Ukrainians have, collapse of the Russian forces could be happening sooner than later.

Putin: just wait we've got a galaxy-brain gambit on the table

I hope the average russian soldier in Kherson starts thinking about whether to die defending their positions now or keep it low and enter preparations for the "special regrouping operation" out of Kherson that will happen more likely sooner than later.

BTW: What Putin doing?

He opened a ferris-wheel in Moscow.


And what ferris wheel doing?

It is already broken.

Not confirmed but if it's true, big balls on the boys in Yellow Blue.

Systematic retreat is impossible. We will see if airborne units could swim in something deeper than fountain 🤣

Right now they used near Izum as stocker units, don't know if there would be any. +AA+fighters is a thing

Kadyrov is in rage. Something something about russian spirit vs NATO weaponry.

According to Oryx RF send ЗСУ at least 40 tanks, 40 lightly armored vehicles, 10 artillery units.

Massive strikes against Ukrainian energy network. In typical orc fashion, the coward strategy is the default when momentum isn't going their way and impotent anger builds up.

Cowards with zero honor. We're a long way away from the heroic Russians of WW2...

Not as long if you remember about Winter War and occupation of near countries. Heroism and evil isnt antipodes - you could be both.

Its funny how Russia appropriate WW2/GPW legacy and Ukraine didn't do anything about it. But Ukrainian soliders were one of the staples of Red Army. Most of GPW was on Ukrainian territories and most of casualties were Ukrainians. And somehow Russia appropriate all of this.

I don't think that current war is about independents of Ukraine, its about freedom of all exUSSR countries and new leader of region. For whatever reason, Ukraine don't want to remember that both Khrushchev and Breznev were Ukrainians(Chernenko too, but who cares). Ukraine wasn't under occupation of USSR, it was part of USSR. Its like say that Russia was occupied by USSR. Ukrainians should understand that they not prey, but nation that could lead region to prosperity.

A heroic surrender of their weapons while the Ukrainians fled in terror.

If Kherson is retaken by Ukraine, then the Krim and other southern regions could fall too soon enough. I expect/hope that in the end the Donbas will be the last talking point and result in a permanent cease fire region (like Korea).
