Netherlands doesn’t have any Leo2 tanks.
I wonder if the current round of news is just intentional misinformation.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said the only tanks his country could provide in theory were 18 Leopard-2 tanks leased to the country from Germany. Both countries decided that these tanks were not available for Ukraine.
They have a dozen or so Leo2 in a combined unit with Germany. Not sure if they are owned or leased, though
There is no context in which military members draggin people of the street looks good. If this was filmed in Russia we wouldn't be seeing the same level of "nuance" in the matter.
Some of the videos that have come out of the frontlines by deserters seems to suggest otherwise along with tales of people with medical issues getting summons
People being AWOL will just be walking down the street knowing full well there are patrols and checkpoints everywhere?
They are already struggling with one person and in many cases they are being surrounded by civilians who don't seem to agree with what's being done, it makes no sense to go after anybody else if you don't have the manpower for that.
Using vans disguised as ambulances shows this isn't just "trolling and misinformation".
U.S. focuses on training Ukrainian troops to use less ammo. The U.S. is prioritizing helping the Ukrainians tweak the way they fight, relying less on artillery barrages and more on how the troops maneuver on the battlefield, as concerns mount over Western nations’ ability to replenish ammunition stocks.
Russians ATGM strike at a Ukrainian BMP at Svatovo. The attack is perpendicular, like an ambush on a road or supply line. The BMP looks alone which begs the question why.
Convoy of Ukrainian BMPs getting picked off by Krasnopol. A Krasnopol attack is evident with a green targeting reticle on the drone view seen here. Ukrainian markings makes their vehicles easy to spot and ID by drones.
Ukrainian ammunition depot on Zaporozhye going up. Possible work by Geran drone? Or by Tornado S MLRS?

I'm not sure this is the correct way of handling AT mines, even if they don't have a trigger
Apparently Kiev doesn't want to give up Bakhmut just yet.

Burning $60 BILLION in just 4 months is not sustainable and it looks like the US administration is looking for a way out.
I'm going to give my thoughts regarding this one Mossad estimate claim.
I sincerely doubt that this is a legitimate Mossad assessment and upon reading the article, which was from a Turkish origin media, the media itself, where the claim of Mossad came from, was a relatively small and not a major news media network like for example Turkish TRT. I doubt Mossad agents would like to spill the beans on some local and small media network.
It's probably better for Russia to let one road open inside artillery range to let them continue reinforcing, it's turkey shot if they let them fill Bakhmut with troops.. Clearly sad for the Ukrainian troops throwed there. Mostly conscripts probably while waiting to do a real push with trained elsewhere ? I'm not even sure that they will be able to do that spring offensive...
