If that’s true, then the Russians are attacking on a 25 km long front and have created a salient roughly 7sq km in size. I’m still not ready to identify this as a large scale offensive though. But things seem to be getting interesting.



Reading some X reports from generally pro-Ukraine sources, mainly Tatarigami and John Hellin basically the state of the front right now seems to be:

-Russia is advancing at a pace as fast or faster than they were in November

-This is at least partly because Russia has been able to disrupt Ukranian supply lines. Vehicle transport in some areas is essentially impossible, making Ukraine resort to night time on foot supply runs that can exceed 10km.

-Russia is still only using small unit tactics, so any kind of large breakthroughs are unlikely as long as that remains the case

-Both sides are confident in their ability to achieve their objectives for the summer... Russia in advancing, Ukraine in holding. Should Ukraine hold out, it may force Russia to reconsider the long term cost of the conflict.

russian reliance on north korea update.

Russia received 9 million artillery shells from North Korea

May 29, 2025, 12:41 PM

In 2024 alone, Russia received 9 million artillery shells of various calibers and 100 ballistic missiles from North Korea, according to a report by the Multilateral Sanctions Monitoring Group (MSMT) released on May 29.

The group of 11 UN member states has concluded that since early September 2023, when North Korea began supplying munitions to Russia, the regime delivered more than 20,000 containers of ammunition and related equipment to support Russia’s war against Ukraine.

The MSMT report noted that the shipments included ammunition in calibers of 82mm, 122mm, 130mm, 152mm, and 170mm for systems in Russia’s arsenal, including the D-20, D-30, M-30, M-46 howitzers and the D-74 field gun.

Between Jan. 1 and mid-Dec. 2024, cargo ships flying the Russian flag transported 9 million rounds for artillery and multiple rocket launcher systems from North Korea in 49 shipments. The munitions were then moved by rail from Russia’s Far Eastern ports to ammunition depots in southwest Russia for use against Ukraine.

“At least for the foreseeable future, North Korea and Russia intend to continue and further deepen their military cooperation in contravention of relevant U.N. Security Council resolutions,” the MSMT report said.

The report also stated that between Jan. and Dec. 2024, North Korea transferred at least 100 ballistic missiles to Russia. Russian forces later launched some of these missiles at Ukraine, targeting civilian infrastructure in cities such as Kyiv and Zaporizhzhia.

In addition, North Korea is said to have transferred 170mm self-propelled artillery systems, 240mm multiple launch rocket systems, and reloading vehicles for both types of weapons.

Zelensky destroyed Church!
Hundreds of priests have already been arrested.

The Russian Orthodox Church, which split off from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, has openly sided with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, even to the point of preaching surrender by Ukraine during its church services.

Of course, those churches are being shut down. They are traitors.

Dumbass.

"Human Rights Watch has expressed concerns that the law's broad scope could infringe upon religious freedoms and potentially violate the rights of Ukrainian Orthodox Church members. Pope Francis also condemned the ban, emphasizing that "no Christian church may be abolished directly or indirectly."

That's what I thought, you edited out this part of the quote:

That's pretty much what I'm seeing. Also Ukros tried to go to multiicopter farming drones for their delivery, but Russian units caught on quickly and started hitting them with FPV drones loaded with a light charge. Those farming drones aren't as cheap as your FPV or even mavic- they take longer to put together and cost 11g's a pop, so basically like a shitty car.

I actually copied the quote from Gemini and then sourced the links it used to generate it when you asked.

It was missing a big part of the story.... just like how your post was missing the fact that this move has been criticized by some pretty high profile members of the international community
