The Russians are still conducting limited offensives in Donetsk and Luhansk, wasting resources and energy when the main effort is clearly elsewhere. Is Gerasimov is still out there thinking he can pull off a successful offensive in this area? /10 https://

No date/time/ID on this so treat with caution, but, it is claimed to be from 136th Brigade in Zap. If a unit loses 50-60%, it is considered non mission capable. I think maybe 30-40% are noted in the 200/300 columns. /9 https://

Russian units on the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia front like Southern MD units, are engaged now. Other formations are engaged too. No major reinforcements from north to south that I've seen this week /8

Russian forces are also using tanks as VBIEDs – loading old tanks from strategic reserves with explosives and driving them at Ukrainian positions. /7 https://t.co/mRcSLOjWRH

Russian forces are still using helicopters and presumably tactical aviation, as they were targeting Ukrainian air defenses with Lancets in previous weeks. /6 https://

The UAF have been able to make limited progress in a few areas, but no major breakthroughs of multiple lines. When they close on Russian trenches, they clear them. The videos are graphic, not posted here. /5

Observations on the counteroffensive this week. As anticipated, when the UAF close on Russian trenches, they clear them. UAF are making deep cuts on logistics in the south. Strong dissonance (again) between hard realities on the battlefield and what’s happening in Moscow. /1
