(the ‘treason’ and ‘knife in the back’ is circling also, Ru trollfarms’ overseers still did not manage to compose new exciting narratives)
2Jerome,
It seems like the video “Ukrainian troops being welcomed by the local population in #Kharkiv Oblast” was captured in Borivske (49.64322221430711, 37.33336361887403).
Thanks! Seems to fit
BTW, is the alleged takeover of Vremivka and Novopil by the RU army (Zaporizhzhia oblast) another virtual victory?
IIRC only @DonbasDevushka ‘reported’ this and this is ‘supertroll’ account.
(but I may be wrong ofc. there is a lot of noise I might miss smth)
what strikes me is that even the little bird on the branch knew about the developing offensive on Balakleya, while RU commanders were “caught by surprise”. Pretty incompetent after all.
20000 held in a strangle move in Kherson, a successful attack threatening supply lines to the izyum bridgehead and enormous losses reported. Meanwhile precission ammunition is running low, more and more sovjet stuff is showing up since the good stuff is depleted, and fresh personnel consists of badly trained volunteers and convicts. On the other hand ukraines mobilization isn´t finished and…
… this got to long, i switched to the forum.

Pisky is not fully under control of russian forces. Volodymyr Rehesha (Commander of “SANTA”) has said, that they are controlling the last blocks of the village.
2nd image (Kupiansk) the magnifier does not work.

Now it’s more “I saw the Winged HIMARS!” but the panic is the same.
Kupyansk Front fixed.
I know about the settlements, I have them on my list, but until we get visual confirmation, it’s gonna remain on that list.
