New thread time.
Kyiv held last night. Tonight may be different.
Kharkiv and its flanks are still holding.
Sumy and its flanks are still holding.
Mariupol is still holding.
Kherson and the lower Dnieper bridges are still holding.
Russian forces north of Kyiv are still building up for another attempt on the city tonight.
Russians still trying to interdict supply convoys from Poland into Ukraine and failing.
In several places the Russian logistics system has collapsed completely. Notably along the western part of the Belarus border, where they are running out of fuel in mid-drive.
The first two Russian echelon attacks have to have decimated Russia's elite units. But that remains to be seen. there are still at least three more echelons to go.
Artillery fire on and around Kyiv is increasing.

My guess is that China and India gave Putin 24 to 48hrs to take Kyiv and Ukraine.
That didn't happen. So China and India are flipping back to being against this.
Artillery fire increasing around Kharkiv.
The Russians really want to get 1st GTA moving again.
@Render GTA? I tried googling it but got the computer game
@rewerty Guards Tank Army.
1st Guards Tank Army is the cream of the Russian Army. An elite heavily armored force normally dedicated to protecting Moscow.
They were assigned to the Kharkiv section of the front. And have been stopped cold in front of and around Kharkiv.
@Render the Korean jtsc one looks live still. The sky looks like it is on fire through smoke but it is quite a distance away. You can hear English and perhaps Korean occasionally in the background. Someone took a call—must have been a reporter discussing what time and hsots they have done. But I dunno … @lacuda @rewerty
@Thumprhare @Render @rewerty signal has gone offline. People in chat are screaming emp but I think that's a bit too Hollywood for this, Russia would screw their troops with an emp more than anyone
There are only two reasons why the artillery has slowed down.
1: They've used up all or most of their basic load.
2: The attack is starting.
@lacuda @rewerty None that I would trust at the moment.
