Ukrainian SOF DRG being targeted at Marinka. Once again, a force looking to penetrate defenses got spotted by drone, then swamped and spammed by artillery.


Aftermath of devastation. 200 Ukrainian soldiers and 4 armored vehicles destroyed around Kupyansk area.


Point of view from a DPR tank with the 11th Brigade. You can see some tanks get hits but they shrug it off. Buildings and shelters with Ukrainian forces are being engaged and fired.

After Russia flip-flopped on the grain deal after Crimean bridge got hit, I doubt US takes their nuclear threats seriously anymore.

I think after red line no 124 and if crossed nothing happens, noone takes it serious anymore.

Everyone realised by now that Putin won't ever use nukes, because it would, one way or another, end his regime.

The closer Russia is to defeat, the likelier it is that they would use nuclear weapons in Ukraine. If that happens the US could very well conclude that the game is over and it’s time to shut down the conflict. Certainly their European partners would, except Poland. The alternative response, as suggested by Gen. Patraeus, would lead to a direct war with Russia which would quickly escalate to nuclear exchanges. Which is why I think the former is more likely.

It has been a disastrous 24-48 hours for Russian invaders in Ukraine losing a lot of men and equipment. The Melitopol attack by Ukraine is reported to have killed hundreds and now another HiMARS attack in Luhansk.

And failed offensive in Pavlivka area.

I wonder if these Russian barracks are new because it would be weird if they have been their for weeks or months and Ukraine finally decided to take them out. Well either way it has been a disastrous 24-48 hours for Russian forces.

Absolutely agree with you on this. Russia loses or it looks like it is going to lose Ukraine that puts Russia and Putin in extreme danger of collapse circa 1991.

Unfortunately that won't happen. If nukes are used inside Ukraine and unstoppable dominos effect will take place leading to WW3. From the start of this conflict even in the early days where it looked like Russia was going to roll over Ukraine I thought this conflict was going to become bigger that will drag in NATO/US. WW2 took years to become WW2 I think we're a few months away from an escalation. That s300 missile landing in Poland getting the media and many all worked up until it was figured out that it wasn't Russian missile was a very small taste of what is about to happen.

There's a reason why US is sending a crap load of tanks and other armored vehicles to Poland. They are getting ready.

These twitter accounts not very reliable. as it was used every thing from Turkish wishful thinking in Syria. Erdo thought he will use Arabs against Kurd. but it were Arab that used Kurds against Turkey.

Looks like this was a much bigger attack by Ukraine using HiMARS

the Ukrainian army had been thwarted, and about 200 soldiers had been killed and missile launchers destroyed.
