Battlefield update

🇺🇦 army continues to accumulate forces and hit 🇷🇺 positions with artillery. Minor clashes are happening at the local, tactical level. We may see 🇺🇦 resuming their counteroffensive soon.🇷🇺 is sending all the resources to Svatove & Bahmut.

Svatove direction

🇺🇦 continues to hit 🇷🇺 positions, preparing to resume the counteroffensive in Svatove direction. 🇷🇺 has transferred forces to Kreminna-Rubizhne & is preparing to defend Svatove. 🇷🇺 sacrificed troops in Lyman to buy time & form a second line of defence in Svatove as if it falls the path will be open to Severodonetsk/Lysyschansk next. Yet, one of the main roads connecting Svatove and Kreminna is already under 🇺🇦 fire control. The battle for Kreminna & Svatove is to be expected next when 🇺🇦 resumes its counteroffensive.

Bahmut

🇷🇺 forces keep attacking in the Bahmut direction without making any meaningful advances for an entire month. 🇷🇺 is destroying its troops in attacks against Bahmut.

Donetsk & Zaporizhzhia regions

Gorlovka/Mariinka – minor movement.

🇷🇺 transfers forces to Mariupol direction but only has enough forces for defensive actions.

South of Zaporizhzhja, minor clashes between 🇺🇦 & 🇷🇺 forces, with 🇺🇦 concentrating forces and 🇷🇺 transferring reserves.

Kherson

🇺🇦 army is now less than 30km from Kherson city.

🇺🇦 liberated quite a lot of ground in the North of Kherson, expanding its artillery capabilities and military positions. 🇺🇦 & 🇷🇺 forces are clashing in the Kysilevka-Pravdina area. 🇷🇺 is reinforcing Snigirevka – an important logistic hub for the 🇷🇺 army, alike to Davydov Brod.

🇺🇦 has also made some progress near Davydov Brod. For now, 🇷🇺 has established defence lines and 🇺🇦 is accumulating reserves & forces for the next operation. The 🇺🇦 counteroffensive will resume according to the military command & Zaluzhnyy’s strategic plan.

Zaporizhzhia & other 🇺🇦 cities targeted by 🇷🇺

🇷🇺 continues terrorist attacks on 🇺🇦 civilians: 🇷🇺 attack destroyed a residential building & killed several civilians in Zaporizhzhia city. Another 🇷🇺 attack in Sumy resulted in 1 civilian death.

🇷🇺 lost 2 TU-22 in an airfield near Kursk

Open sources are reporting that 2 TU-22 strategic bombers, used to attack 🇺🇦, were destroyed on 🇷🇺 military airfield near Kursk.

Scapegoating & 🇷🇺 propagandists calling for the execution of Shoigu

Konoshenko, 🇷🇺 Army communication officer, in between his usual lies is reporting that 🇷🇺 is conducting successful “defensive actions”. As Arestovych put it – “an amazing progression-people that planned occupying Lviv in 3 days are conducting “successful” defensive operations in Kherson now”.

Stremousov, a 🇷🇺 propagandist and minor political figure in 🇷🇺, is openly calling for the execution of Shoigu, the 🇷🇺 Minister of Defence, for the military failure in 🇺🇦. The fact that Stremousov was allowed to say it & didn’t suffer any negative consequences after publicly attacking the 🇷🇺 Ministry of Defence shows that the search for a scapegoat & infighting in 🇷🇺 continues.

Reznikov addressing 🇷🇺 military

🇺🇦 Minister of Defence, Reznikov, addressed the 🇷🇺 military, from generals to soldiers, emphasizing that they were lied to and betrayed by the 🇷🇺 elites. Now, it’s the military that will be dealing with soldiers’ families’ discontent. Furthermore, the 🇷🇺 elite will try to restore their own comfort & make peace with the West, blaming the military for the war, the losses & the crimes. “🇷🇺 army command will be cursed and murdered in 🇷🇺”.

According to Reznikov, 🇺🇦 can help the 🇷🇺 military who would revolt against Putin or surrender, but the time for these decisions is running out.

G20 forum, Zelenskyy & Putin

Several sources reported a potential meeting between Zelenskyy & Putin in the upcoming G20 meeting in Indonesia. Yet, the 🇺🇦 President’s office has already refuted this. The use of media statements to provoke 🇺🇦’s response & start negotiations is a 🇷🇺 attempt to stop 🇺🇦 from liberating its territories occupied by 🇷🇺.

Zelenskyy not only made a public declaration but is bound by 🇺🇦 elected representatives’ decision to restore 🇺🇦 territorial integrity. As previously stated, 🇺🇦 will not negotiate with 🇷🇺 while Putin is still ruling in 🇷🇺. The strategy & 🇺🇦 position is clear: Putin should be isolated and removed.

🇷🇺 nuclear threat, the West & nuclear proliferation

Biden has stated that he is taking Putin’s nuclear threats seriously and that 🇷🇺 will suffer devastating consequences if Putin decides to use nuclear weapons.

 If 🇷🇺 uses nuclear weapons, the only two choices are:

1.       To punish 🇷🇺 and demonstrate that any aggressive use of nuclear weapons will have catastrophic consequences for anyone who does it.

2.       End of non-proliferation doctrine, runaway nuclear proliferation & further use of nuclear weapons by other countries

The strong response of the West to 🇷🇺 using nuclear weapons against 🇺🇦 is the only good strategy to prevent nuclear proliferation. If 🇷🇺 uses nuclear weapons, the West will respond and will not only punish 🇷🇺 but liquidate all the 🇷🇺 military potential.

Putin’s anniversary & role in the History

The savage & barbarian behaviour of the 70-year-old Putin has earned him a place in history. Moreover, not only Putin will be remembered for starting a bloody and aggressive war, but also for being a complete failure & losing everything.

Putin always posed himself as a progressive 🇷🇺 leader. Yet, just like with Kadaffi at the end of his regime, there is a disconnect between Putin’s worldview, the present and the 🇷🇺 youth. Putin does not only understand the 🇷🇺 populace, especially the young people, but has nothing to offer to the 🇷🇺.

Similarly, 🇷🇺 people born after the fall of the USSR, cannot understand the ressentiment of the older generation for the fall of the USSR. The 🇷🇺 younger generation cannot understand why 🇷🇺 has a problem with 🇺🇦 and why they should die in the war against 🇺🇦.

Putin has made his own psychological issues & problems worsened by the historical ressentiment into a genocidal state policy in 🇷🇺. The fact that he was allowed to rule a nuclear power and, in part, was aided by the West will need to be addressed after this war.

Now, it’s clear that Putin is already dead, politically & morally, with his physical death only being a question of time.
