That came later, around May 7-8, for the first attempt to cross at Bilohorivka. We also had the Dronivka around that time.

But there's a German word which is descriptive of what many soldiers rely on: Fingerspitzengefuhl. The literal translation: "feel of the fingertips." An intuition of what's happening. And as a soldier, my intuition is that UKR is generating strength, RU is being drained. 6/6

But the results of RU actions run counter to their objectives. -UKR is standing stronger today than on 2/24. They are more united, their desire for sovereignty & freedom burn white hot. -UKR cities/cultural centers may be bombed, but their stories grow in intensity. 2/

The fighters at Azovstal stood for 82 days. An estimated 1500 or so UKR soldiers (intermingled with women and children) fought 12-14,000 RU forces, w/ tanks, planes, artillery. Those UKR soldiers kept approx 15 BTGs from getting to the Donbas for 2+ months. That's a win. 3/

Reporters won't be able to report much more than artillery fights, devastations in towns, civilian horrors over the next few weeks. That's because they're not with UKR or RU forces. And it's very hard to judge tactical outcomes w/o being there, w/o a clear picture. 5/

The Donbas fight is currently a tactical back & forth, but the RU force is bleeding men, equipment, supplies. RU morale -the key element for victory- is in the toilet. UKR is sustaining casualties, to be sure, but nothing like their enemy…and their morale remains high. 4/

Always good to be on with @acosta
. His questions get to the crux of issues. He asked: "what is Russians trying to achieve?" It's easily answered. They are trying to destroy Ukraine's identity & culture. They can't beat them militarily, so they bomb & terrorize citizens. 1/6

The Ukrainian soldiers said they had destroyed dozens of Russian troops and several units of equipment, as well as a pontoon bridge.
