Typical 'Scorched Earth' policy that invading Armies do when the tables have been turned. 'If We can't have it, neither will you'
Scum.

The EU needs to deport many more of these Russians.
Too many of them continue to live with the modern amenities of western societies, while supporting Putin and his war, harassing Ukrainian refugees, drawing graffities on monuments with their symbols, and spreading all sort of lies and propaganda about this Russian invasion.

Not much to say: the assault on Kreminna continues, russian reports that Ukraine is also hitting convoys moving between Svatove and Kreminna.
Some noise about a 7 kilometer advance by the ukrainians on kherson, but no proof.

Excellent thread here from someone worth following. Details how the taking back of Lyman may represent a better idea of how Ukraine is going to win this war than the rather easy and swift way they took Kharkiv.
Ultimately, the superior Ukrainian tactics, will, and equipment is going to defeat Russia completely, even if it takes a while.

This is a great thread, and I agree.
There was thread or video where they (actual Ukrainian commanders, from the battle) went into how Kharkiv was sort of an accidental event. The main attack came from the north but on the west a moderate sized force attacked a smaller, but highly defensible Russian position. They had no intent on taking it but kept attacked, rearming, going back at it, and at some point had pushed to a point where they had 4 tanks in direct range (each with 22 rounds) and opened a massive barrage along with the infantry attacking the trenches and the whole position collapsed. It was one of the larger ammo/weapon caches found, but also when they collapsed they ran back into Kharkiv and cause that position to panic and the whole thing just sort of unfolded from there.
So it was great but also that like collapsing was an unexpected event for Ukraine. Lyman was systemic and pulling Russia out by the roots. Proving they can be both structured and displined while also dynamic.
It's was cool to hear their tactics, and they also talked about tank commanders and the benefits of drones, etc. They are just a class above Russia at this point and it shows - and going to keep paying off.

Something I've noticed from watching footage from the offensive.
The Ukrainians deploy old school Calvary style raids in Humvees like Calvary raids from the 19th century, where they circle around in the Humvees and fire off suppressive fire and shoot RPGs and get the hell out of dodge.
Mad Lads.

Russian Army quickly calling Zelensky "20 minutes no rush plz".
This is why all Russians must die.
And to think someone called me an extremist the other day. Fuck them

Nothing to go on with.
Just that many(not all, definitely NOT ALL) of the things posted is just someone, somewhere wrote something and it is taken as a concrete proven fact while the base of it is speculative at best

It would make total sense to send in your best troops with garbage equipment so they get wiped out, then send new conscripts with no training in with the good stuff…right? Guys? That makes sense right?

This is like an original SAS tactic from their formation in North Africa. They did jeep drivebys on airfields behind enemy lines.Something I've noticed from watching footage from the offensive.

Milbloggers dominate the news cycle because they have sources on the ground.
We've seen this pattern repeat with the reliable ones: they say ukraine army is hitting that town, then a few days later you see the ukrainian flag flying on that town. Lots of soldiers have smartphones and send these bloggers photos and videos.
There's also the OSINT bros, some are reliable - they're even pooling money buying satellite imagery to follow the situation.
This is what reliable news is like in a modern war, journos are not going to be on the frontlines. You want the freshest news, you check twitter or telegram.
