Weather is a thing, especially melting ground. Ukraine forming new units of troops with western training to western gear is another. An uneducated guess is that once ground starts to dry and new brigades are formed things start rolling again. In which direction is anyones guess.

Ukraine gave up 3000 nuclear warheads because we were promised we would be protected.

Now, our soldiers are castrated, beheaded & burned alive. Their screams will haunt us for eternity. We watch our children kidnapped, we watch our houses bombed.

But remember, we musn't provoke russia.

As BEAMER says wet ground is not good for heavy fighting vehicle's, and the recently supplied Western Tanks are slightly heavier, plus they have to be deployed very carefully to avoid detection. Its a big front and weather may start to ease at one end of it sooner than the other, so I would guess you may see some movement in early May. Until then a "good pounding" to be endured sadly.

Cheers

And now East Germany is Russia’s responsibility, they seem to forget it was Germany before WW2.

When I want a quick summary I browse for "UK MOD Ukraine". Sometimes the page of the day is posted here but I prefer to go there directly.

Kursk Mk 2 or at least the defence lines seem similar.

Tank ID, T-90? Any guess on vintage and equipment?
White crosses and other markings for captured Russian armor?

T-90A, an ex-parade vehicle by the white wheel paint. First in service in 2005 and has a welded rather than a cast turret.

The white crosses usually denote a Ukrainian vehicle so it must be one of the 12 they are known to have captured as of April 2023.

Jeff Goldblum's double has Jeff's response to absurdity# down pat! Should consider a new line of work, as being an avid supporter of the Great Strategist doesn't seem to be working out so much.

# Independence Day: "what do mean, "oops!"?"

other Jeff quotes suitable to Russian propagandists meme-heads:

change is like death
did he just throw my cat out of the window?
that how all of this starts
why is there a watermelon there?
Im getting tired of everything I write being read on the can
life finds a way
what am I working on?
nice to meet you mr dude
god creates dinosaurs
help me. Help me be human
must go faster

  • murdering civilians
  • targeting civilians
  • beheading POWs
  • conducting genocide, deportation of a populations children
  • deliberately targeting 500 children in a clearly marked sanctuary for children
  • 20,000+ more instances of criminal, war crimes, and crimes against humanity
Why is Ruzzia still in there, UN? They apparently don't care about any norms of civilised society, perhaps its to get good shopping at Macy's.

Russia under Putin is a Terrorist State. How about they start being treated as one. Putin and his criminal consortium continue to try to find how far they can stretch their abuse of decency before real response occurs.
