Something definetely smells fishy. No mass artillery attacks, no mass tank attacks, no massive infantry attacks, no.massive air attacks etc. No massive anything.

It doesn't seem to be what a proper general offensive to invade a country is supposed to be. Its more of probing attacks than anything else

What are you comparing it to? Russia has never invaded a country like this. There's no book on how wars like this are fought, we are learning as it happens.

The closest comparison we have is the Iraq war 2, which was NATO operating their own strategy. Even that took 6 weeks.

FYI military equipment losses so far

Seeing a number of tweets about a counter offensive in Kherson by the Ukrainians.

I spoted an S-x00 TEL in the morning going toward the Dneper dam on the live feed.

Most likelly they try to establish control above the west Ukrainan border.

I'm curious. With the record highs of daily covid infections in many countries. Is Ukraine not affected at all. People forget we are still in middle of a pandemic. A war during a pandemic.

Invasion seems to have stalled especially in the east and north. Wonder if the russians will be bringing in the big guns soon.

Rumours that Russia will be carrying out a bombing raid of Kiev at 3am

Yeah that's way too low. Most probably used for probing and careful attacks. Note that these numbers could also be propaganda to raise their troops morale, so take it with a grain of salt

"NEW: Ukraine's Armed Forces believe more than 60 Russian battalion tactical groups – the equivalent of between 30,000 to 60,000 troops - have been deployed on Ukrainian territory, according to an update on the invasion as of 8pm It said the “enemy has an extremely low morale”

Rough translation (not mine):

"Defensive battles are being fought in the Kherson region in the south, with mechanized units of the Armed Forces recapturing the road bridge and gaining a foothold on the left bank of the Dnieper."
