Interesting development in Ukraine war NAFO brOSINT space, they are calling for 72 hours of blackout:
Last time this happened was during the Spring Counteroffensive isn't it? Anyone want to guess what's up? DPA is guessing Sumy offensive starting in the next few days.

Update on Belbek Airfield Strike
To be precise it happened after first Counteroffensive flops. Which indicated that it would fail. IMHO "gestures of goodwill" would follow from Ukrainian side. Ukraine do have some kind of okaish defensive line around Kharkov itself and city do provide advantage. I think they would retreat to those positions abandoning towns/villages closer to the border and opening route for Russia to push to Kupiansk.
Trying to distract the Russians by making them believe something is up, like last time they posted those cartoons? It is possible the Russians have pulled some of its forces out from the defences to force the breakthroughs at Avdeyevka and Kharkov, so the threat of a Ukrainian offensive could be reason to draw some of those units back and let off the attacks.
IMHO never say never, but I find it hard to believe Ukraine has any significant reserves available to pull off an offensive. They have been throwing their best western equipped forces into the fray for a while, we have all seen the videos of Abrams, Leopards and Bradleys being swatted by artillery and drones over the past month.
Place attention to that people is bigger loose of time that calling an astrologer to predict the future
Wonder if this will be another "we totally destroyed stuff" with no evidence?.
These messages are probably to calm the net and try to control the situation. Zelensky will bypass his mandate soon and a lot of stuff can happen internally.
Maybe they will do some PR stunt with the cruise missiles they have to deter attention or maybe they will attack Belarus... what can go wrong ?
