Yes, now it was not party politics from my side but it seems to make no difference, you bite on everything and probably feel that now when S is going to lose the election due to the latest corruption scandal and trafficking news it is okay to call everyone else whatever 🙂
There is certainly some joke value in the stop shooting campaign with pizza when you barely prosecute murderers anymore and the shootings are at ATH (if you want to take that discussion further you have to do it alone).

You are of course actually right Henrik, if you go to pro-Russian sites it is the same videos we see of dead Russians but on Ukrainians and now Ukrainian soldiers will die. However, there is no alternative, ask the population of Mariupol.
It often gets technical in the thread and I think we should celebrate everything that is good for Ukraine and large Russian losses are that.
I personally believe that positive support is best, if you start diving into hopelessness and spread it it does not benefit Ukraine. However, you are absolutely right that the atrocities should be highlighted.

Hey, I know this is from a pro-Russian forum so at most maybe, then shut up but if it is on a pro-Russian forum it is known to the dark side.
Do you remember the discussion about ferrying units over to the eastern side of the Dnipro north of Khakovka?
And then the discussion about a black ops all-out assault on Enerhodar
Seems to have been done now 🙂
Exactly how it goes, God knows, tall order anyway.
About 06:00 Moscow time, Ukrainian troops landed on the coast of the Kakhovka reservoir three kilometers northeast of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant in two sabotage groups of up to 60 people on seven boats and attempted to seize the power plant – Russian Defense Ministry

Now there are sharply increasing losses for the Russians two days in a row coinciding in time with a new offensive at Kherson.
You start the day by going through Erik14’s night posts, pure daily newspaper and more punctual than DN, keep it up 👍
It is under wraps but with the daily artillery list and FIRMS we can guide ourselves to what is happening in broad strokes. I see a strong pressure down from Krivoj Rog towards Khakovka.
I am also quite sure that Davyidiv Brid – Khakovka is on but right now it seems they are going straight V towards Snigurivka, which is in Russian hands.
FIRMS is slowly starting to show that beautiful string of pearls down towards Khakovka again.
Straight from the north towards Kherson there should be a stop at Kyselivka which is not in the daily artillery list by the way so Russian, and then they come in from the west towards the city of Kherson.
Now so many videos with rolling armor have been posted that I think we can conclude that it is forward with the armored brigades this third attempt. It is exclusively happy faces and thumbs up, combat value at its peak.
The partisans have also risen in Kherson, if there are regular firefights they expose themselves considerably and then they have been given guarantees that this is an offensive aimed at breaking the Russian defense, they have limited lifespan in daylight.
If we now give some thought to the Russian command, they need to bring forward reinforcements and then supplies – they cannot get any of this across the Dnipro.
What they can do is fire artillery from the eastern bank of the Dnipro for a while but eventually HIMARS will come after them too.
The air force probably does not want to cross the river anytime soon.
The Russian units east of the Dnipro therefore have high ammunition consumption going towards zero and then the gaps in the ranks become more and more at each reveille.
We rang the bell quite a while ago regarding the Russian chance to hold on west of the Dnipro and to me it looks exactly as bad as we hoped.
Since this is a composite group without officers above battalion commanders and with quite a few low-quality units that have a river at their back, the chance is high that it will become a herd of gnus when the pressure becomes too high.
And the pressure will become too high – artillery, air, helicopters, 2 armored brigades and 6-8 battle-hardened brigades more. It may even be that they have committed additional reserves we do not know about?
Since the entire city of Kherson lies on the western side of the Dnipro, the Russians cannot evacuate or get supplies as Ukraine did at Severodonetsk – therefore the city will fall like an overripe melon. Add to that that every fixed position gets a 155mm shell in the head and that the partisans will come up with all sorts of mischief non-stop.
Then it is my firm conviction that the Stuka effect occurs earlier in this type of army driven forward by bullying and fear. There is no one who really wants to die for their cause here and the second they understand that the end is inevitable they either retreat in a rubber duck or surrender.
Pretty quiet about the southern front but there it is probably radio silence as well. Flew past something about Kharkov which suggested some movement, Gregg will probably be quick on that.
Curious about Izyum.
