Well seeing how I was just got back from working in a Ukrainian military hospital a week or so ago I do not think that you are talking to me. No I did not get to meet Zelinski but I did get to take a long arse uncomfortable train ride from Poland to Kharkiv and back.

I was in a hospital in Kharkiv which was a relatively quiet front at the time I was there and so the causality rate was less than 100 per day for killed and wounded. I mostly took care of lightly wounded soldiers and civilians. I took a detour on my way home and went to Dnipro to see my old roommate. I was not there for long, but I did hear that they were averaging around 200 KIA per day on the Kherson front. However, I did tour one of the many staging areas around Dnipro and I cannot say exactly how many reserves were in Dnipro but I was told it was > 100,000.

ETA: Starlink internet is f**king legit. I could post on TD and stream baseball games at the same time. I cannot wait for them to get service available in NELA.

Back to war news. This is today’s round up in Malcontent News.

Northeast Donetsk
A Russian Special Operation Force (SOF) reconnaissance in force team attempted to advance on Serebrianka, came under fire from Ukrainian forces, and retreated.

Elements of the 2nd Army Corps of the Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR), supported by the Russian Federation Armed Forces, attempted to advance into Ivano-Darivka, Vesele, and Spirne using reconnaissance in force and were unsuccessful.

The headquarters for Private Military Company Wagner Group was hit by rockets fired from High Mobility Rocket Artillery Systems (HIMARS), causing significant damage and reportedly causing up to 100 casualties.

On August 8, Private Military Company Wagner Group aligned Telegram channel Grey Zone, shared detailed pictures of the Wagner command and control base in Popasna. One of the photos a Russian journalist took during the visit included the address of the building where the base was located. Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of Wagner and a close Putin ally, was in one of the pictures.

Wagner Telegram channel Reverse Side of the Medal shared pictures of the destroyed base and the wounded and dead being removed. Pictures shared by Wagner Group show at least two impacts on the building, including one that would have penetrated the basement area. Another post-attack video was recorded by an insurgent or Ukrainian SOF showing Wagner loading some of the dead into a van.

Ukrainian SOF made a reconnaissance mission in Brusivka, on the north bank of the Siverski Donets River near Lyman. They came under machine gun fire, attempted to flank the Russian positions, and withdrew.

Bakhmut
Russian airborne forces (VDV) attempted another reconnaissance in force push on the edge of Soledar and were unsuccessful.

PMC Wagner, supported by LNR separatists, tried to advance on Yakovlivka and Vershyna without success. Russian VDV forces assaulted Bakhmut and, according to the General Staff, had “partial success.” After the attack, Bakhmut experienced the worst shelling since the war began.

Russian forces attempted to advance on Zaitseve, 10 kilometers southeast of Bakhmut and were unsuccessful. In the Svitlodarsk bulge fighting for control of Kodema and Zaitseve (north of Horlivka) continued.

Southwest Donetsk – Zaporizhia
West of Donetsk, the 1st Army Corps of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) continued its offensive to capture Pisky. They remained unsuccessful in pushing Ukrainian forces out of the northern part of the village.

On the south side of Pisky, DNR forces attempted to advance on Pervomaiske and were unsuccessful.

In southern Ukraine, Russian forces made another attempt to advance on Pavlivka and tried to improve their position near Vremivka without success.

Insurgents in Melitopol destroyed a railroad bridge south of the city and reportedly caused major damage to the structure.

Social media pictures showed a large fire at the port in Berdyansk. The exiled mayor of the port city reported the fire was caused by a “violation of safety requirements” during welding work that ignited fuel and oil storage.

Mykolaiv
Russian forces fired S300 antiaircraft missiles in a ground-to-ground capacity for the first time in almost a week into Mykolaiv. The main port was hit, causing damage to the facilities.

Izyum
South of Izyum, pictures by Ukrainian forces confirm that the settlement of Brazhivka has been fully liberated. Russian forces attempted to advance in the direction of Dolyna and were unsuccessful.

Dnipropetrovsk
Russian and Ukrainian forces continue to trade accusations of shelling the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. The Russian-controlled city of Energodar, where the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is located, was shelled, killing one person. Russian forces fired 20 Grad rockets into Nikopol and shelled Marganets. There were no injuries reported.

Sumy
Dmytro Zhivytsky, Sumy Regional Administrative and Military Governor, reported Yunakivka, Esman, Khotin, and Billopillia were shelled and hit by mortars. There was a border skirmish north of Billopillia at the now closed international border crossing into Russia.

Chernihiv
The settlement of Senkivka was shelled.

Beyond Ukraine
In Zareche-Vtore, Russia, Ukrainian SOF used a loitering munition or explosives to collapse a large communications tower, destroying it.

Daily Assessment
1. The 2nd Army Corps of the Luhansk People’s Republic is combat ineffective, with multiple reports that it is on the brink of being combat destroyed.

2. Volunteer fighters in Russia are starting to return home from their contracts and complain of poor equipment, terrible treatment, and going unpaid.

3. Russian proxy forces suffered another embarrassing and preventable defeat due to terrible operational security, resulting in dozens of mercenaries being killed and wounded in a confirmed HIMARS attack.

Thank you. Those are tough losses for Ukraine to sustain.

Russia is sustaining more. Ukraine is turning out more replacements per week than they are losing per week so I do not know why you keep saying that Ukraine can't sustain the loses.

When is Ukraine going to commit its reserves?

Do you think they told me? Hell my friend in Ukrainian intelligence would not even let me take pictures or videos. The best I could get out of my friend was when they have softened the Russians up in the south and the Russians had used up their supply of ammo or they Ukrainians got more artillery support then they would move. Right now they are happy to isolate the Russians in Kherson and let the Russians fire off their artillery and machine gun bullets at entrenched troops.

Winter is going to be hitting soon and I seriously doubt there will be much movement in the lines once that happens.

It's August. The Rasputitsia does not hit until late October or November. Plus it does not affect the area along the Black Sea like it does the northern part of Ukraine. Unlike in northern Ukraine where the Russians bogged down in the mud. The Russian tanks were able to drive straight through the mud in southern Ukraine back in February. Based on the maps of the HIMARs strikes (which my roommate took me to see a HIMARs launch in person btw) and the troops positioned around Dnipro. I am guessing the Ukrainian strategy is to focus on the south during the fall Rasputitsia while the northern and eastern fronts or axises are stuck in the mud.

F**K! Personality disorders are a biotch to treat and play even more havoc on one's sanity. You seriously need to seek help to determine if you have schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, or if you just need to help with coping skills and stress.


Bitch, I can point yours out in antisocial personality disorder. You are a sociopath who has genocidal thoughts towards millions of people simply for where they are born.

Ukraine hit very precisely 2 places along the bridge.

Damn those HIMARs are accurate AF. The Ukrainians hit the Nova Kovaka bridge in the perfect places to keep it from being used by the Russians but did not damage the dam or the power plant.
