The Ukrainian War IV: "And von Moltke Laughed ..."

[Picairn]

BREAKING: Latest map from Rybar shows entire Kharkiv front is lost!

Virtually all territory west of the Oskil river is now confirmed to be liberated by the Ukrainians. All Russian forces have withdrawn from northern Kharkiv as well as Vovchansk and east of Velykyi Burluk, all the way to the international border.

Whole front is collapsing even faster than the retreat from Kyiv, holy crap!

Edit: The Rybar post.

[Picairn]

My god this has been, what, 5 days since Balakliya? In less than a week Ukraine basically caused a Russian rout from nearly an entire oblast. You can see this on Wikipedia's map as well.

Alright, this will be my last post for today.

Those poor APCs in the water, someone should rescue them and paint them up in some nice Ukrainian colours

APCs visit the watering hole in groups of three to five, to deter predators.

I did not expect that the liberation of Ukraine would progress so quickly, although I remain cautiously optimistic.

I hope that before long, the brave Ukrainian soldiers will liberate all of Donbas and Crimea.

And maybe… Moldova, emboldened by how much of a shambles that the Russian occupation forces are, will also liberate Transnistria.

There are colossal numbers of abandoned Russian vehicles that are being captured around Izyum. For example in one small area alone there were nine T-80s, and in another storage area there were six BMP-2s.

You know, I would now say something like "Like Spanish Leopards?", but sadly, Spain withdrew its offer after they found out, that they were too complex and too broken for that to work...

Did these buffoons just get on the nearest bus to Volgograd ersumthing

The way that there has clearly been no attempt to take anything with them whatsoever except the shirts on their backs, I think that's exactly what happened, they either got in a car and left or thumbed a lift from a passing truck.

I hope China’s invasion of Taiwan is as skillful as Putin’s war. Taiwanese D-Day on the Chinese mainland would be a beautiful sight.

Suuuuuurely they dont need all those T-80s, i could take one and it wouldnt hinder the war effort at all

Especially not when the Russian army in the North seems to be folding faster than a bad hand of cards at a poker game.

Only shows how dumb they are. I'm pretty sure that groups of APCs on open riverbanks are an incentive, not a deterrent, to would-be predators. I think it was on the Discovery Channel.

Sure I just heard someone on the BBC say the Russians have gone crying to the UN saying they have been attacked and want their equipment back. Also saying that there is a lot of military activity in Moscow.

What? Ukrainians at Moscow? Or did I misunderstand what you said?

You misunderstood. Russian military activity in Moscow.

Post a link when you get a chance? If that's true things may be about to start moving even faster than they have been, given the stories about deputies in Moscow & St. Petersburg calling for him to be impeached or step down.

Been hearing rumours of a mutiny in the Russian army, can anybody confirm these?

I've also come across some rumours of chechens fighting the Russians down in Kherson. What's significant is that Kadyrov's Tiktok warriors are supposedly there to stop mutiny or surrender- if they are fighting regular units, that means someone down there doesn't want to kill Ukrainians anymore. Again though, just rumours and would love to see it confirmed or refuted.

I live in Moscow, been to Red Square today, cannot confirm this- everything here is as calm as it was the month before.

Not going to happen- PRC-RC rivalry is a situation both governing powers of the two nation benefit from and thus it’s not going to change any time soon

They might just be one of the Chechen foreign volunteer battalions fighting for Ukraine.

There's Chechens who have been fighting on Ukraine's side since the start.
