Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[Piotr]

In Afghanistan, Taliban got the support of local population.
But in Ukraine, local support is with US and against the Russians.

Maybe in the western part, certainly not in the eastern part of the former Ukraine

Land access to Transinistria is hard. That would mean annexing almost all of Southern Ukraine. Transnistria is far west and almost isolated.

Update, the wide Russian all out offensive seem to be happening right now, in the last few hours.

Multiple BTGs worth of troops written off. Hundreds of casualties due to use of infantry wave attacks in open fields, with little armour.

It seems Russians starting to preserve armour.

My observations. Ukrainians haven't reached Kupyansk. Russians walked into Borova within last 24 hours, and took it without challenge.

No info on Ukrainian forces who crossed to the Western bank of Oskil few days ago. So, their plan to hold at Bohuslavka may now be in jeopardy too.

Russia loses 2-3 armour companies per day. A lot, but a significantly lower rate than at the start of the conflict, when multiple BTGs were written off per day.

Russian force from Borova moved south, and entered Lozove. No info on force constitution, or size.

Still no info on Ukraine units flanking Russian force west of Oskil.

At least now we know, Russians are aware of:

1. That Oskil east bank being a big threat to their transport hub in Kupyansk, and rear echelon
2. That they know Ukrainians tried to exploit that

They will probably station more substantial forces to guard Kupyansk, and east bank of Oskil.

This is correct. US is also guiding artillery shells on target. The only thing Americans are not doing is pulling the trigger. They are doing everything else. Russia must respond to this.

Russia has option in Iraq Syria and Palestine

Ukraine war: Russia 'plans to seize southern Ukraine'

A senior general says the aim is to open a route into a separatist region of Moldova, Transnistria.

So they will go for Moldova too. At some point, NATO will have to get more actively involved. He wont stop.

Possibly Syria. It already controls all it wants to control in syria. They rest is US and Turkish controlled using their proxies.

Palestine? Is he going to bomb the Palestinians as well? haven't they had enough bombing?

Russia recognised Israel in 1948, Putin has excellent relations with Israel, and had 1 million Russians living there. Living high or Palestinian land. All these Russians serve in the Israeli military, men and women. I dont know what fantasy planet you live in where Russia turns against Israel.

Well it did them a lot of good in Afghanistan so why not use it in Ukraine.
