This is both exciting and amusing. Hope it's true.

Russian war correspondent Evegeny Poddubny says that Ukraine has damaged the bridge in Kupyansk, potentially limiting the ability of Russian reinforcements to arrive in the city or for its forces to retreat.

So satifying to watch, it reminds me of the start of Dads Army, just a shame it is people dying.

Let's not be too harsh on those early predictions. Indeed, the OP of this thread made the suggestion that Ukraine was preparing an all out offensive on Russian held areas of Eastern Ukraine. Turns out he was correct, just a little premature!

No panic? Russian tank in Kharkiv Oblast flees Ukrainian forces, shedding Russian soldiers as it goes, and then crashes into a tree.

Insane. Other tanks move but can't fire, others can fire but can't move. The burn marks on this guys face tell that he's had to jump out pretty darn fast from the tank.

Videos show mechanized Ukrainian forces crossing the T0514 bridge over the Siverskyi Donets River, reportedly heading towards Lyman.

According to the preliminary reports, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have entered the city of #Izum….

Yet another encirclement - the Izyum pocket…

In this intercepted call, the Russian tankman recaps to his friend his account of being encircled by mobile Ukrainian groups and says he is likely encircled now.

It's a longer call so please watch on our YouTube:

I am more than happy to be corrected, once eg Ukrainian officials or Russian officials confirm this.
If the RF have little ammo and supplies, it is unlikely they have a world class micro surgeon on tap to remove the mole, alter the ear, do a rhinoplasty, and re mould the chin...

Pity though, nabbing general staff is the stuff of movies.

It may be double that... The "right" bank of the Dneiper is an issue, and the NE is now a shambles for Putin. The LPR and DPR troops are going to need to be screened to work out which are Russophiles and which are forced conscripts. The "believers" probably get work rights in the paradise of Putin and can luxuriate within the grounds of Russia one would think. should be a few big houses in Soichi opening up as sanatoriums soon enough.

Don't know, BlankBox, I have my doubts about this post. I don't think Ukraine is going to do something like that, which seems to be implying shooting prisoners but I'm sure that's not what you meant. I'm guessing you could be referring to the number of Russian dead from this war.

Very interesting video of Ukrainian troops finding an abandoned Zoopark 1 counter artillery radar (about 4.30 into that video) with all sorts of gear around it including personal protection. Apparently it has been there for a while, then crew thought "f#@% this", changed to civilian clothes and scattered.
