Var det inte just denne man som var Kingmakern bakom Zelensky? Snacka om att såga i den gren han själv sitter på...

Enligt Ryska TG källor har nu den "stora" offensiven begynt;

🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡The attack on Peski has begun

Today, on the front, adjacent directly to the city limits of Donetsk, the offensive of Russian troops began.

In particular, units of the Somalia battalion and the 11th regiment of the NM DPR are advancing on Peski. The Armed Forces of Ukraine were taken seriously, Ukrainian neo-Nazis are suffering heavy losses.

"Our correspondent is with the artillerymen in the Donetsk direction. Artillery is underway. The mood of the fighters is excellent, the thing that everyone has been waiting for so long is starting - the offensive."

🇷🇺🇺🇦❗According to our information, this morning, a precision airstrike by the Russian Aerospace Forces destroyed the command post of the 56th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near the settlement. Netailovo, northwest of Donetsk.

Eighteen management officers and unit commanders of this brigade were killed.

Most likely, the commander of the 56th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel Sirchenko, and the chief of staff of the brigade were among the dead.

Their whereabouts have not yet been established, and it has not yet been possible to identify the bodies of the dead.

"From a local ATP", inte local ATM /bankomat/ då?

Tack för bra och uppdaterad information!

🇺🇲🇺🇦 "Most are burned or destroyed, and the rest are tired or scared" - foreign mercenaries about the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The American publication Ishgal interviewed 10 foreign mercenaries in Ukraine.

What they said best describes the situation in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We will not invent anything, quotes from the interview speak for themselves:

"The level of shit here is going through the roof"

"I fought in the Middle East and Africa and have never seen such a level of corruption"

"They were sent with one rifle for two"

"I trained over 2000 Ukrainian soldiers and I think at least half of them are already dead"

"Absolutely everything - Javelin missiles, other missiles, cars, rifles, ammunition, grenades - everything is stolen"

"We saw a lot of swastikas and Nazi symbols"

“I have a chance to kill some Russians.” Interviews with foreign volunteers in Ukraine

/.../
Although donations of military hardware and civilian aid have poured in from Western governments and private aid organizations, all of the sources we interviewed in Ukraine said that a substantial portion of the aid is stolen. “Both civilian and military aid goes missing,” said Mike, a volunteer military trainer from the UK. “This country has a corruption issue that will inevitably affect the outcome of the war.

“Absolutely everything—Javelin missiles, other missiles, vehicles, rifles, ammunition, grenades—all of it has been stolen. And it’s happening on both sides of the border. Lots of it is stolen in Poland, but it absolutely happens when it reaches Ukraine, too.”

The corruption and aid theft affects Ukrainian soldiers exponentially more than foreign volunteers. Soldiers from every Ukrainian Army unit we spoke to reported that many men aren’t given body armor. Units are dealing with a lack of vehicles, weapons, and ammunition. “We’re better off than the Ukrainians, because we can supply most of our own stuff,” said Shaun, the Canadian volunteer. “We buy our own gas, our own rations. My group is purchasing our weapons from large volunteer group. That volunteer group, which is not from a Western country, stole the weapons that it’s selling to us and other groups from the military aid coming into Ukraine.”

Nu vågar inte Röda Armén använda Antonivka-bron längre så man har startat en "färja" istället. Färjan består av ett amfibiefordon som drar några pontoner.

Det här kommer att påskynda anslutningen till EU . Ingen tvekan om saken. Kolomoisky var en av de största stöttestenarna, och Zelenskij har just lämnat över honom till vargarna. Och va fan klagar ni Putinister över egentligen ? Känns det jobbigt att inte kunna peka ut Zeleniskij som oligrakens närmste man ? Ni fick som ni ville, och vi fick som vi ville. Kanske dags att Det är en ömsesidig seger för jösse namn

Just wow.

Har du lust att bringa lite klarhet i det utslagna Pantsir systemet på Snake Island? Slogs ut av artilleri från fastlandet, kanske inte var ett nog med civila runt systemet för att det skulle vara värt att bekämpa inkommande Projektiler...

Till Rysslands försvar så har Pantsir visserligen upprepade gånger visat sig vara uppenbart odugligt till ens försvara sig självt.

Två kvar, han är fortfarande medborgare i Cypern och Israel.

För att sätta i perspektiv, Ukraina har (hade) fler BTG (battlegroups) än alla baltstaterna tillsammans.

Jag har sett en massa Twitter om det. Men har de verkligen kommit igång redan? Trodde man skulle invänta ukrainarna och den stora offensiven i syd först:

The office of the President of Ukraine, as part of the counteroffensive on Kherson, is ready to destroy the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station and the consequences of this decision, which will cause an environmental disaster and flooding of the Kherson region.

All heavy weapons supplied by the West are now concentrated in the Nikolaev, Odessa, Kirovograd and Dnepropetrovsk regions to prepare for the attack.

Märklig strategi då jag precis hörde en ukrainsk soldat i Rapport/SVT säga att man var där för att rädda invånarna från den ryska armén.

Finns utlämningsavtal med dessa dock, va?
