Meanwhile, the Russians are using their new Potatolink comms.

Communication systems produced by the Ukrainian company HIMERA have been successfully tested in the United States.
According to the company, the trials involved representatives of the National Security Research Center, the U.S. company Unconventional Concepts, and the United States Air Force.
HIMERA radio systems were tested during the Future Flag exercise, where Ukrainian-made communications equipment became the primary tool for coordinated unit operations.
According to Ukrainian sources, U.S. participants gave highly positive assessments of the Ukrainian radios and confirmed their compatibility with NATO-standard communications systems.

In the Pokrovs'ke direction, over the past 5 days, Ukrainian forces have been carrying out clearing operations against lightly-manned Russian positions, as well as some larger counterattacks. Contrary to what I reported earlier, no large-scale counteroffensive is underway.
In the northeast, after accumulating significant amounts of infantry in the village of Orestopil, Ukrainian forces began pushing south down numerous treelines and gulleys, clearing out poorly-consolidated Russian positions all the way to Oleksiivka and Sosnivka. They were then able to enter Sosnivka and establish full control over the village and some surrounding positions. Other assault groups attempted to penetrate further south, but reached the more dug-in Russian positions north of Berezove and were unable to make any further progress.
To the west, Ukrainian forces advanced south from their bridgehead over the Vovcha River in the area of Tykhe, towards the village of Oleksiivka, and were able to capture the village of Vovche as well as 3 parallel treelines and a forested gulley to the west. They also attempted to attack Russian positions in the direction of Novooleksandrivka, but without any confirmed success.
To the southwest, Ukrainian forces completed their clearing operations in the southeastern part of Ternuvate, and brought in significant reinforcements to the area which were then used to cross the Haichur River and attack Russian positions in Nove Zaporizhzhya and Dobropillya. Some vehicles managed to reach Dobropillya, but it is unclear if they were able to gain a foothold. Attacks were also carried out further east in the direction of Zlahoda, while the Russians resumed their attacks on Ukrainian positions in northern Nove Zaporizhzhya.
Additionally, the Ukrainians completed their clearing operations in the village of Prydorozhnje, and captured positions in the railway windbreaks to the east. Mechanised attacks were also carried out from Vozdvyzhivka in the direction of Pryluky. Some soldiers managed to dismount at the northern outskirts of Pryluky, however it is unclear if they went on to seize a foothold in the village.
+ ~44.23 km² in favour of Ukraine.

The information warfare aspects of this counteroffensive/counterattack are interesting. It feels like Ukrainian sources are intentionally downplaying it which is probably smart. Lesson learned from the 2023 summer counteroffensive maybe. Either that or Russian sources are exaggerating it which I don’t know what they would have to gain by doing that. Just interesting dynamic I think.

Odd isn’t it?
Ukraine saying it’s nothing; while Russia says it’s a counterattack.
It’s best to wait a month or do to see if anything big is happening.

In a month or so the unpaved roads and countryside will become deep mud.

And we can determine if the main lines have moved a substantial amount.

Agreed. Hopefully Ukraine has learned its lesson from 2023. Keep your damn mouth shut until victory is achieved. Ukraine seems to want to keep everyone focused on their buildup around Kharkiv which seems similar to their fall 2022 strategy of making everyone focus on Kherson in the south only to hit the Russians hard in the north.

This smacks of desperation. Things going sideways on the home front?
quote:
Russian military bloggers report that service disruptions have spread beyond Telegram, with outages now affecting the MAX platform (Kremlin-backed Russian "super app" and messenger) as well. According to Russian data, failures are increasing. Roskomnadzor has confirmed restrictions on Telegram, fueling complaints across pro war channels.
quote:
Russia has officially begun blocking Telegram, according to Roskomnadzor. Users report widespread disruptions, with Downdetector data showing a surge in complaints. Reported issues include messages failing to send, media not loading, missing notifications, and app outages across multiple regions.
quote:
Russian authorities plan to begin partially restricting Telegram starting Tuesday, February 10, RBC reports. Sources in the IT industry and government agencies said Roskomnadzor is preparing measures to slow the messenger, with one source saying restrictions are already being applied.

Last week one of my friends in Moscow got frostbite because she had to walk because the bus she was on broke down. She said that Moscow has also had more power outages than normal for winter time. The authorities are blaming it on being a colder and snowier winter than normal. However, my friend does not believe that is the case with the transit system. She has noticed more and more old buses being put back into service and they break down a lot. Having excellent public transit in Moscow and St Petersburg is one of the main things Russia uses to keep citizens happy. I have no idea what the general mood of the Russian people is, but I bet the Kremlin probably does not want Russians to see news about a Ukrainian counteroffensive on Telegram while they wait in colder than normal temperatures for a bus that is late. Come to think of it the Kremlin probably does not want Russians to have access to complain about the public transit problems even if the extra harsh winter is the only reason for the problems.

I do envy Russia for their ability to shut down the net and go back to 1980s era life without hearing what's supposedly going on everywhere at all times.

You do realize that the Russian people know how to use VPNs don't you? The husband of my friend is Moscow and he is my friend too is a IT guy for a state enterprise. He makes more money on the black market blocking the "back doors in cell phones" that the Russia government uses to spy on citizens and installing VPNs. Unless the government kills the internet and cell phone service the citizens will find a way around the government.

When I worked in Moscow during a conversation with my work colleagues I asked if something was against the law.
One of the ladies quickly said,”The harsh laws of Russia are only made tolerable by the fact that no one obeys them.”

I have never heard that saying but it makes sense giving my limited experiences in Russia.
Back to the war.

If tweet fails to load, click here. The AFU might not have wanted a counteroffensive here but this might be their best chance of getting one since the summer of 2023. Of course, Russia could be setting a trap so like someone else said we'll just have to wait and see.

They were called onto the carpet after reporting the Kherson offensive in 2022. Since then they have been only positive news about Russia even if its one meter. It they have broken with the Kremlin, that is the bigger deal

The remainder of this winter will be critical to keep the lid on the urban population in Russia. Any one or even two of the below will not be enough to tip the scale, but if all of them come to pass, the sheep may finally grow fangs:
- Frostbite-level cold weather with power outages;
- Public transportation (including airports) being severely hindered;
- Propaganda TV stations questioning the ability of the Russians to win this war;
- Inflation, job losses and substantially increased taxes; and
- War veterans returning from the front with the truth.
The last one is the most critcal. Thus the immediate turnaround back to the fighting for recovered wounded or returned POW's. No matter what their condition. It's not the need of manpower that sends crippled soldiers back to the fighting.
As you well know, Spring weather changes everything in Russia, so Putin must keep the media locked down, the troops out of the cities and pray for a short winter.

Just reading some tea leaves, I think Russia might be exaggerating it. The motive I guess would be to build up what is ultimately a fake counter-offensive that you "repel", only it never existed at all. Seems like a very Soviet thing to do.
