At Staryi Saltiv, about twenty miles east of Kharkiv, Ukrainians have crossed to the east side of the Donets River. It's about fifty miles north of Izyum where the Russians have their largest concentration of troops. A second crossing slightly south of Staryi Saltiv appears to have been stopped by the Russians.
If the Ukrainians can continue to push south and east, they can cut off Russian supply lines and isolate Russian troops. Russians in the Donbas continue to make small territorial gains.
Twitter also reports the Ukrainians have successfully targeted a new handful of high ranking Russian officers.
And the fate of the couple hundred Ukrainians in Mariupol that surrendered to the Russians is unclear. Many sites reported that there may be a prisoner exchange but who know if Russia will keep their side of the deal.

quote:These and all other Ukrainians in Russian hands will be ransomed. That's the mafia way. However the Ukrainian government will have the names of every soldier that came out of Mariupol alive. This will add some protection against reprisals, not enough for some, but they won't just disappear into the gulags.

But again, the Russians are misjudging the situation. The leverage is with the Ukrainians. Although the Russian's heads are firmly in the sand about this, the unexplained fires occuring throughout Russia may never end until all Ukrainians - civil and military - are back in Ukrainian hands. Clearly the Russians can't stop this sabotage. More importantly, even if a negotiated peace is concluded, it won't cover these attacks if these Ukrainians are not returned.

Twitter is buzzing about Ukrainians streaming across the Donets river at Stari Saltiv and another crossing further north and driving towards Vovchansk.

As I stated several pages back, China does not have unlimited time for its Long Game. They have a looming demographic crunch, an economy built on smoke, mirrors and wishful thinking, an uncertain post-Xi transfer of power, restive minorities they can only oppress so much before boiling over, a middle class being bought off with trinkets to forget about the lack of political freedom, and a huge underclass that has reaped none of the benefits of China's modernization. Any of these could be the first domino to fall. Russia is in for a steady, inexorable decline. China is more likely to have a swift implosion nobody saw coming except those who knew how to read the signs.
Perhaps, but that’s a lot of variables with no certain outcomes. Better in the meantime not to underestimate them, lest we get caught slipping.

All the Ukrainians have to do is get the USA M777 artillery within range of Izium supply lines. Rocket assisted GPS guided artillery shells combined with drone and US satellite real time targeting info is gonna frick some Russian shite up.

Idk so much fighting in here I can’t see the fighting in Ukraine. Maybe the Russians have thrown some cyber smoke today.

Russia spent more than $300 million per day on defense last month as its invasion of Ukraine continued to drag on, according to Finance Ministry data, more than doubling its pre-war defense spending.

Does anyone have a total of how much the US and Europe has spent to date on Ukraine?
