  13. Dang-it, CBS takes the Kremlin talking points of 1 dead. Don't listen to the Russians tales, my gosh all they do is lie.. There's reporting that 60 or more Russian pilots were killed while training there,not including a bunch of expensive SU xx fighter jets that were taken out. uThis was not just an airbase, sitting 150 miles deep inside Russian held Crimea. This was a $Billion dollar hit for Russia!

  14. The Bakhmut-Seversk line is making its way bit by bit, more on the southern side. I don't see any way for the Ukrainians to hold that line. They can only postpone the inevitable, with additional sacrifices. Soledar is half occupied, the Wagners from the east have already entered Bahmut. It seems to me that Seversk will have a role similar to Zalatoye. But we'll see…

    As for Zaporozhye, I think it will go later. When, I have no idea. I think that Slavyansk and Kramatorsk will be solved first. A wide front from the Dnieper to Volnovakha must be activated for Zaporozhye, and I think that the front on the other side of the Dnieper and the approach to Zaporozhye via Nikopol on the other side of the river should also be activated. But for that, a large number of forces from the other side of the Dnieper should be secured, because the left flank will be extremely vulnerable. Nikopol is also a significant city and probably well fortified by the Ukrainians by now. Tonight, the Russians shelled Nikopolj and Marganjec the hardest so far. Eventually, the offensive from the western side of the Dnieper could be supported by some kind of landing across the Dnieper, right somewhere in that area around Nikopol. A large army is needed for all that. That's why I think that until Donbas is resolved, there is no further on other fronts.
    However, as you can see, the Russians are not going around, but in front. To the strongholds. To the city. Lepo Frunze noticed that the center of gravity is in the southern part. Northern has obstruction attacks to keep forces pinned to him.

    As the situation unfolds, the North can comfortably stand still. To not move. When they liberate Soledar and cut the Artyomovsk-Seversk communication, Seversk will experience the fate of Zalatny and the entire Lisica ridge.

    As they occupy the villages south of Arjomovsko, they also raise the old Ukro lines. Their flank is always supported by the old line which they raised in the previous advance.

    Thus, when they break out at Djeržinsk, the left flank will be supported on the old line in front of Gorlovka. The northern flank is again on S. Donac.

    What caused this change in tactics? Well, maybe the fact that the Ukris defended themselves convulsively in the strongholds that were in horseshoes. They left them only when they really couldn't defend them anymore.

    In this way, when you conquer the main stronghold, the ones next to the smaller ones retreat by themselves. Example of Vugledarska TE. After its fall, the Russians reached Kodema relatively quickly and occupied a good amount of territory, the possession of which had previously been fought for much longer. TE caused the fall of Novolugansk, Semigorje, Gladosova and other smaller strongholds with much less fighting than before.

    It may be that the Russians have judged that it is better to hit them in the head now, than to fight almost identical battles in the surrounding smaller strongholds. Honestly, these direct attacks on Soledar and Artyomovsk are a surprise to me.

  18. As they lay down to sleep forever
    The children’s prayers cease
    Lives shortened by a cruel dictator
    A dove mourns an unlikely peace

    A ruler’s greed cold and heartless,
    A conscience empty as space
    Saddened parents cries bombard us
    As the world offers a warm embrace
