Ukraine started using ATACMS in the last 7 days in Operation Dragonfly. The results are devastating for the Orcs… finally.

Would you believe this copium-induced bullshit? #Russia #Ukraine

Is Kadyrov dead yet? #Russia #Ukraine

For the first time in this war Ukrainian forces not only successfully crossed the Dnipro River but also the Konka River behind, establishing a permanent bridge head on the south/east side near Kozachi Laheri.

All Russian attempts to dislodge Ukrainians failed and the Russian recon unit initially investigating the Ukrainian landing was most likely destroyed.

Russia is Preparing For A Long War

Good rundown of domestic political moves within Russia and how they play out in continuing the war.

You can build and sell virtually anything to the Russian government.

In political terms, “eternal war” is increasingly becoming a cornerstone of the Kremlin’s narrative. Putin has no other vision to offer.

Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, the UK’s Chief of the Defence Staff, the senior professional officer in the UK military, gave testimony to the UK Parliament’s Defence Committee.

He tries to describe what the Ukrainians are doing—and he calls their tactics: “starve, stretch and strike”

Sounds a lot like what @Render calls “bite and hold.”

An excellent thread on setting realistic media expectations for the counteroffensive.

TL:DR - The counteroffensive is not failing. It was never supposed to be a victory march — it’s a complex nonlinear process that requires time.

So… did I miss anything?

"A Western official with knowledge of the situation says that Ukraine advanced in the area by up to five or six kilometres."

I took a bit of a holiday look-away from real social media #CoSoRocks and #news.

Lukashenko may or may not be dead. Either way, Belarus is not a functional state. I have a tough time believing they could organize a state funeral, let alone an attack into northern #Ukraine.

Biden won the debt deal. That’s that.

Hope you all are enjoying loved ones and practicing some self-care.

It’s now 11:15 PM in #Ukraine. Needless to say, it’s been a wild day over there, and that usually leads to a wild night over there. Keep eyes peeled. Trust and verify.

Incredible interview with Kyrylo Budanov, the head of military intelligence for Ukraine. This was released less than 24 hours ago, so it’s probably still fresh.

TL:DR -
Ukraine will win, territorial integrity back to 1991 borders.
Putin likely won’t survive, Russia in its current state won’t survive (Dagestan, Chechnya/Ichkeria)
The biggest problem post-war will be the millions in the east who have swallowed years of Kremlin propaganda.

The flanks in Bakhmut are collapsing and #Ukraine is taking the upper hand. But is on the tv. This is why we can let have nice things.

#Ukraine

The Orcs can’t take Bakhmut, so they firebombed it with thermite. Disgusting.

Hell of a 48 hours to come in #Ukraine
- Orc bombers in the air tonight
- Prigozhin flooding the zone with shit that the offensive has started
- fallout from the false flag attack

Yesterday was the 37th anniversary of the #Chernobyl disaster. Totally fascinated by it and there's a non-zero chance that the events in #ukraine stem from the results of the disaster.

When does the offensive begin???
