Fresh update from RYBAR, looks like AFU isn't giving up and continues to pour more resources into the Andreevka bridgehead. They're currently transferring an infantry battalion from Zaporizhzhia to the bridgehead.

, this is nearly identical to the map that Defense Politics Asia uses. It's reporting nearly identical positions to RYBAR:

I question what good would further infantry formations do when even mechanized formations can't make progress here.

That’s because you are applying the wrong metric to assess these choices.

Infantry turning into red mist is a lot less cinematic than tanks cooking off, and leave less tangible evidence to embarrass the pro-Ukrainian cyberspace legions.

When you stop applying boring conventional military thinking and instead just think about how things might look on social and mainstream media, a lot of Ukrainian command’s choices start making slightly more sense.

You keep quoting that account as it wasn't evident the guy lies after the whole "it totally says 44 HIMARS, guise!!!"

Starting to look like reddit with a bunch of bots downvoting any video from the russian side down to 0 so it doesn't get exposure while claiming in the comments that all the videos of comming from Kherson are actually dead russian soldier and the russians are trying to pass it as theirs.

All spin doesn’t change the map, which clearly stated destroyed launchers and artillery.

I love how this thread is just a collection tweets and telegrams of the lowest scum. How can someone seriously post ASB stuff after all those blunders.

Even the most pro Russian sources talking about tactical retreats, there is no way for Russia to actually count anything. Also a brigade doesn’t die completely.

An Ukrainian brigade is like 4,000 men. 128th have already participated in many battles and suffered seriously loses and reconstituted with fresh troops more than once in this war.
4000 ? That narrow push will be littered by corpses... It's not only one brigade that poured in, the loss are insane. Whatever bridgehead they have secured, how they can secure ground farther if they are grinded in a 500m wide/ 3 km long incursion when they have 20 km to go and 100km wide to control to be able to push the Russian over the Dnipro.

Nah 128th took part in battle up north, they weren't part of the Andriivka bridgehead.

Don’t worry. She’s talking in English. So there is zero possibilities of any mistranslations.
there's a simple fact that I'm not sure she understands or not: you either have energy or you don't. social measures give out money.

money can buy energy given a willing seller, but money is in itself not energy unless you burn wheelbarrows full of Euros.
