Russia on brink of ... NOPE! Russia INVADES Ukraine!

Conservative overview of the situation

‘Well over’ 100,000 Russian troops killed or wounded in Ukraine, U.S. says (msn.com)

And about as many casualties for the Ukrainian military + 40,000 civilians according to Gen. Milley.

To borrow from an internet phrase looks like it's not a trap.

What's odd is the (admittedly normal) accounts of the amount of abandoned Russian heavy equipment in good working order. It's one thing to abandon it during a fighting withdrawal and quite another to fail to destroy equipment you know you can't retrieve before a planned withdrawal.

^^^ They either don't have spare munitions or their people aren't trained to use it.

too funny

 

[K1052]

Russian channels report Ukrainian forces have reached Kherson city and fighting is ongoing.

 

[K1052]

Next round of military aid clearly focusing on air defense again. Avengers are new items.

Looks like they are getting a pretty steady supply of M982 Excalibur shells.

 

[K1052]

I think things are probably not going very well for Russian forces still trying to get across. From the sounds of the videos I've seen Ukraine has a lot of tube artillery working.

Daylight likely to reveal some major carnage.

Looks like the US has persuaded South Korea to sell arms to the US for Ukraine. Given North Korea's provocative missile activities and their supply of munitions to Russia they must have decided their original position no longer sensible.

South Korea to Sell Arms to U.S. for Ukraine
Artillery units are to be supplied for at least several weeks of intensive combat

I personally would like to see their military so weakened it may not be possible to rebuild for many, many years.

Not hard to at least pour a few gallons of gas in and then toss a grenade. It's almost like the low end of the troops want to sabotage the war effort.

Maybe those complaining about tWitTeR cEnSoRshiP and 1A can look at this and gain some perspective.

Russian sentiment doesn’t seem terribly positive at the moment.

The Russian military could have negotiated a withdrawal but chose not to. So a whole lot of their people are going to die.

some truely staggering losses coming up if this is true, even Russian sources are saying at least 18-22k stuck on wrong side of the river

Well, they could just surrender. Then get a hot meal for a change.

I'm sure there is a lot of that happening. We'll see in a day or so.

Barge traffic isn't going to suffice, especially under fire.
Water might be a touch cold this time of year, eh?

Seeing some reports Ukrainians are shelling across the river...so even if they make it across the steel is still coming.

Some complaints in Russian channels have been posted that Russian air defense has been drawn too far back to prevent drone strikes. If thats true we're going to see some TB2 videos again...

Sounds like Russia changing Generals is just not working...
