Footage of a Russian BM-35 Italmas kamikaze drone striking a Ukrainian drone control center located in a residential building. The video was filmed in the village of Annovka on the northeastern outskirts of Dobropillia. The drone operators were spotted during the timely return of the Ukrainian hexacopter. Judging by the force of the explosion, the building also housed a drone storage facility. The drone strike completely destroyed the Ukrainian building, as shown at the end of the video.

Russian flags are raised in the central part of Lyman after flags were raised in the northern and southern districts. The insertion at the southern district indicates the Russians have control of the forest patch south of the city.

Yurkovka and Artema said to have fallen to the Southern Group of forces.

Will await more information.

The taking of Yurkovka now puts Russian forces only 10km of Slavyansk and Kramatorsk. To put it in perspective, a tank can fire indirectly towards defensive positions on the outskirts. An ATGM crew can fire a Kornet into these positions. Not to mention FPV drones and 122mm barrel artillery such as the D-30.

A FAB-3000 hits a crossing in the Seversky Donetsk river. This could be just one of the dozens of FAB strikes these days, but this crossing is the logistics artery to AFU forces in Lyman, among other areas. Taking out the bridge results in a disruption of supply, rotation and evacuation.

How Ukraine broke through Russia’s air defenses

In another video, what appears to be a Russian defense missile likely misses its target and instead hits an oil storage tank on the outskirts of Moscow. One weapons expert from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute told CNN that it was “a Russian own-goal,” ending in a mushroom cloud of smoke and the huge top of the tank blasting into the air.

Yurivka falling on the map. Russian advances tend to consolidate by widening the base of the salient rather than sharpening the peak. But the important thing to note are the heavy green areas around settlements as these become staging areas for advances and positions for artillery, tanks and drone operators.

or maybe he and europe know belarus really don't want to join the war , unlike go to war along side US as their minions where US air power own the sky : there are no need to worry about enemy artillery , SAM , guild rocket blow up your ground force convoy
it basically a fun hunting trip with minimum casualties

RU air power just suck can't own ukraine sky can't destroy ukraine hidden sam , artillery , himmars 24/7 allow friendly armor force , CAS freely roam around roftstomp ukraine ground force

joining war along side russian right now is basically suicide and stupid specially for belarus : they have very limited hardware and man power can't afford to let them burn by ten thousand and more like russia

lukashenko grip on power also not really strong as putin : the last thing he want to see is belarus people angry seeing thousand of belarus tank/APC , hundred of belarus aircraft (not sure they have that number) , and ....whole lot of infantry burn and die in ukraine .

he show no interest joining russia in 2022 where people who like russia side still watch this video with big smile on their face , putin with all the power can't even sway him
lukashenko sure as hell not going to join the war today unless ukraine stupid enough attack belarus and kill whole lot of civilian (which zenlensky will never do)

unless putin and russian FSB can do some....good old ...Operation northwoods inside belarus

But what if they joint the war? and the Ukrainians now have to divide themselves in TWO FRONTS, the Europeans are NOT going to intervene military except maybe with sanctions. And to make things worst Kiev is at range rocket artillery from Belarus and glide bombs that can fire to the city. I think Zelensky wants to expand the war to put pressure to the Europeans to intervene but I think is very unlikely

Belarus' only two refineries is within Ukrainian drone range, one is only 30km from the border. Russia diverts the oil there after their own oil storage tanks are destroyed. But guess who buys Belarusian refined oil products? UK and Ukraine itself. Hitting those two refineries amount to slitting your own arteries. The list also includes Poland, Germany, and interestingly back to Russia. Belarus makes money both ways selling gasoline to Russia and Ukraine.

Russian air power is busy FABing the front line, but lately even cities like Kharkhiv and Zaporizhia are getting their power stations getting hit by FABs. Many bridges are getting destroyed---bridge does not stand a chance against 3 ton glide bomb, no? As well as railway stations and thermal power plants. Kiev residents is welcome to be camping out around a camp fire the next winter, no?

After the Ukrainian oil refineries and gas plants are destroyed, carbon fuel for Kiev is dependent on Belarus.

As for Russian air dominance, the real question you should be asking is where are the Ukrainian SAMs that can stop the hundreds of Russian drones, the dozens of missiles and FABs falling on Ukraine, before every bridge, every power station, every substation grid, every railway station, every truck station gets destroyed.
