Igor Girkin - Ukrainians will continue advancing aiming to strike approaching Russian reserves during the march. Russians may be forced to abandon Izyum very soon.

??The information about the transfer of forces of the "Wagner Group" to the Izyum direction, as well as near Kupyansk, is not true.

"Musicians" continue their work on the fronts assigned to them, and at the moment they are almost, if not the only ones, who not only hold the front in Ukraine, but also promote it. No one is going to be removed from especially difficult areas to plug holes.

The official number for ???? KIA surpassed 51000. Furthermore, the number of KIAs per day increased greatly in the past few days.
Considering the so-called "D/LPR", private mercenaries companies, the number of KIA & severity wounded total ???? losses are about 100k.

The strategic error of the Russian invasion of ???? is to invade a county of 40M with only 170k troops and spread in 9 directions in February and now having spread the remaining troops too thin on the perimeter of a 1300km front-line.

This creates many possibilities for the UAF to infiltrate or break through the first line of ???? defense and advance further with minimal, if any, resistance from the second-line defences.

Similar to Patton's strategy, Zhukov's use of motorised, rapid-advancing brigades during WWII or US tactics in Afghanistan, ???? is using the strategy of fast and deep advance through ???? defense lines into the enemy's rear, aiming at:
1) cutting supply lines
2) capturing ammunition depots
3) spreading panic amongst enemies
4) capturing a large number of POW
This demoralises the enemy and creates a catastrophic situation for the Russian troops, in particular in Kharkiv.
