I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. Lots of people have asked how I use Claude Code, so I wanted to show off my setup a bit.
My setup might be surprisingly vanilla! Claude Code works great out of the box, so I personally don't customize it much. There is no one correct way to use Claude Code: we intentionally build it in a way that you can use it, customize it, and hack it however you like. Each person on the Claude Code team uses it very differently.
So, here goes.

1/ I run 5 Claudes in parallel in my terminal. I number my tabs 1-5, and use system notifications to know when a Claude needs input code.claude.com/docs/en/termin…
2/ I also run 5-10 Claudes on claude.ai/code, in parallel with my local Claudes. As I code in my terminal, I will often hand off local sessions to web (using &), or manually kick off sessions in Chrome, and sometimes I will --teleport back and forth. I also start a few sessions from my phone (from the Claude iOS app) every morning and throughout the day, and check in on them later.
If you love America, thank the White men that built it…

Meet the real godfather of the Community Relations Service--
New York power broker and fixer Theodore Kheel, chairman of Edmond Safra’s Republic National Bank, used by the Russian mafia and the Medellin drug cartel, scrubbed from history due to his unsavory business dealings.
New York power broker and fixer Theodore Kheel, chairman of Edmond Safra’s Republic National Bank, used by the Russian mafia and the Medellin drug cartel, scrubbed from history due to his unsavory business dealings.
Kheel worked on the provision for CRS together with LBJ and Benjamin V. Cohen. In fact, according to LBJ's White House telephone recordings, the blueprint for the new conciliation service was to be based directly on Kheel’s labor-mediation practices.
Ted Kheel was colleague and contact of Title X's author, Arthur Goldberg, a fellow avid New Dealer, a close friend of Johnson’s, a fixer for Kennedy, considered New York’s “most prominent industrial peacemaker,” and known as one of the city’s most powerful men in the 1960s.

1/ Das französische Nuklear-Modell: Lehren aus der Ära Boiteux für die globale Energiewende der Zukunft
Teil 1: Die Fundamente des Erfolgs
Einleitung zu Teil 1
Nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs stand Frankreich vor einer fundamentalen strategischen Herausforderung: die Sicherung seiner Energiezukunft in einem Land ohne nennenswerte Vorkommen an Kohle oder Öl. Diese geografische Gegebenheit schuf einen tief verwurzelten nationalen Imperativ, Energieunabhängigkeit zu erlangen und die technologische Souveränität wiederherzustellen. Die Gründung der Atomenergiekommission (CEA) im Jahr 1945 war der erste Schritt auf diesem Weg, der aus einem Gefühl der nationalen Demütigung und dem Wunsch nach Wiederherstellung der "Grandeur" Frankreichs geboren wurde. Dieser "Imperativ des Augenblicks" – vergleichbar mit dem Druck des Schiffbaus in Kriegszeiten – legte den Grundstein für eine energiepolitische Vision, die Jahrzehnte später in einer beispiellosen nuklearen Expansion münden sollte.
Die Reaktion auf die Krise: Der Mesmer-Plan von 1974
Der Wendepunkt kam mit der Ölkrise von 1973. Der plötzliche Schock des OPEC-Embargos vervierfachte die Ölpreise und offenbarte auf dramatische Weise die Verwundbarkeit der französischen Wirtschaft, die zu diesem Zeitpunkt zu 67 % von importiertem Öl abhängig war. In dieser existenziellen Krise reagierte die französische Regierung nicht mit Zögern, sondern mit außergewöhnlicher Entschlossenheit. Im März 1974 wurde der Mesmer-Plan ins Leben gerufen – eine politische Entscheidung, die hinter verschlossenen Türen von einer kleinen Gruppe von Technokraten getroffen wurde, ohne parlamentarische Debatte. Die Direktive war unmissverständlich und radikal: eine "All-Nuclear"-Strategie. Das Ziel war, den Anteil der Kernenergie an der Stromerzeugung von damals 8 % auf über 70 % bis 1985 zu steigern. Nur wenige Tage nach Beginn der Krise erhielt Marcel Boiteux, der Leiter des staatlichen Energieversorgers Électricité de France (EDF), einen Anruf aus dem Büro des Premierministers mit einer einfachen Frage: Wie viele Reaktoren kann Frankreich pro Jahr bauen? Die Antwort – fünf bis sechs – wurde zur Grundlage eines der ehrgeizigsten Infrastrukturprojekte der Weltgeschichte.

2/ Die Vision von Marcel Boiteux: Mehr als nur Reaktoren
Im Zentrum dieses Vorhabens stand Marcel Boiteux, eine Figur, die das konventionelle Bild eines Industriellenführers sprengte. Boiteux war kein Ingenieur, sondern ein brillanter Ökonom. Sein Ziel war nicht nur der Bau von Kraftwerken, sondern die Erschaffung eines Energiesystems zum "Nutzen der Menschen".
Seine Vision basierte auf der Theorie der Grenzkostenpreisbildung. Diese Doktrin hielt fest, dass Strom "so billig wie möglich, aber nicht billiger" bereitgestellt werden sollte, um sicherzustellen, dass der Preis die tatsächlichen Kosten für die Erzeugung der nächsten Stromeinheit widerspiegelt.
In seinen Memoiren verglich er dies mit der Holzindustrie: Der Preis für unbehandelte Baumstämme kann niemals derselbe sein wie der für präzise gesägte und gehobelte Bretter, die zum Baumarkt transportiert werden. Ebenso hat Strom zu verschiedenen Zeiten und an verschiedenen Orten im Netz unterschiedliche Kosten. Diese ökonomische Disziplin stellte sicher, dass Ressourcen effizient genutzt und unrentable Verwendungen vermieden wurden, was letztlich der gesamten Gesellschaft zugutekam.

3/ Die "Krieg der Systeme"-Entscheidung: Pragmatismus vor Nationalstolz
Eine der ersten und wichtigsten Entscheidungen unter der Ägide von EDF war die Wahl der Reaktortechnologie. Die CEA hatte ein heimisches Gas-Graphit-Reaktordesign (UNGG) entwickelt, das als Symbol nationaler Ingenieurskunst galt. Doch die EDF-Ingenieure erkannten früh, dass dieses Design "brillant, aber zu kompliziert und zu teuer" war.
Stattdessen traf man eine pragmatische, wenn auch politisch heikle Entscheidung: die Lizenzierung des amerikanischen Druckwasserreaktor-Designs (PWR) von Westinghouse. Dieser Schritt stellte einen Wendepunkt in der französischen Industriepolitik dar, an dem das nachkriegs-gaullistische Ideal der technologischen Autarkie bewusst dem wirtschaftlichen Pragmatismus untergeordnet wurde, der für eine schnelle und groß angelegte Umsetzung erforderlich war.
Die PWR-Technologie war erprobt, skalierbar und versprach niedrigere Kosten – eine Wahl, die den Erfolg des Programms definieren sollte.

Note: This is about supplements indeed but if you do not get sunlight, exercise, eat whole foods, try to avoid vices such as excessive alcohol consumption and so on, then supplements will not save you.
Plenty of foods have more benefits that not only compared to the supplements at a low/medium price point but a very high as well. If a supplement, had the history and benefits of kefir for example, it would sell a lot. It’s just that you can only make so much profit from foods. I can’t sell you for example a $30 bottle of kefir yet i can very easily sell someone a $30 bottle of probiotics.
The right supplements CAN be useful and maybe even life saving. I am not dismissing them. At all. This is why we will talk about them.
This is just about having the right priorities.
Also, every single of these supplements that are mentioned will backfire for some people.
It's mathematically impossible not to.
If only 3.000 people read this and out of them 300 choose to use one, it's impossible for one of them to not react badly to it.
Does this fact make the supplement bad? No.
It makes it bad within a certain context.
So, read the studies that are linked.
Now let's talk about the supplements (not presented by order of importance).

Now let's talk about the supplements (not presented by order of importance).
Number 1: Magnesium.
Magnesium is involved in over 3700 enzymatic reactions in the body.
So without enough magnesium, nothing really works. But supplement wise, which form should you pick?
Here's a basic breakdown
Form 1: Magnesium citrate
This is a quite bioavailable form (not as much as glycinate or malate though in many cases) that combines magnesium with citric acid but because of this (most commercial citric acid comes from Aspergillus species), you should only use it to resolve constipation and if you have MCAS or histamine intolerance you should not use it.
Form 2: Magnesium oxide.
Throw this in the trash.
This is just a cheap form that results in the creation of pro-oxidant compounds (obviously) with a 4% bioavailability (to put this into perspective, glycinate can reach up to 40% in some cases).
Form 3: Magnesium glycinate.
This is a form where magnesium is bound to glycine and the form that most people should start with since it’s pretty bioavailable, cheap and it’s great for supporting sleep and stress reduction.
Form 4: Magnesium malate.
This is a form where magnesium is paired with malic acid (a compound that’s found in apples).
It’s perfect for people who either battle aluminum toxicity or just focus on overall detoxing.
All forms of magnesium can help by lowering aluminum retention in bones and tissues overall but malic acid can also bind certain heavy metals such as aluminum.
The effects are mild and you can not rely just on this for aluminum toxicity, but it’s something good to know in my opinion. Compared to other oral forms, it seems to be better for muscle recovery as well and support the krebs cycle more.
Form 5: Magnesium threonate
This form, has gained a lot of popularity for the overall benefits it can have on the brain and that’s because it crosses the blood-brain barrier. It’s a form where magnesium is bound to threonic acid (a metabolite of vitamin C).
Form 6: Magnesium acetyl taurate
If you have high blood pressure, anxiety and want to focus on your overall CVD health, this form is for you.
Form 7: Magnesium chloride
This form where magnesium is bound to chloride, is typically used for muscle recovery but it’s also great for people who have serious digestive issues and can’t absorb a lot of things.
Disclaimer: If you are extremely deficient in magnesium and decide to use MgCl, it will sting, a lot.
From 8: Magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts)
This from where magnesium is paired with sulfate is also great for muscle recovery but not ideal for increasing the levels within our bodies.
Note 1: If you have profound gut issues and for whatever reason you also react badly to topical forms of magnesium. Magnesium l aspartate hydrochloride is your best bet since it does not really alter gastric pH or binds hydrochloric acid.
Note 2: When it come to bicarb, it could reduce calcium buildup in soft tissues a bit and help with constipation. But it's quite expensive and if you choose to make it yourself, make sure that it stays cold, not overconsuming in order to not dilute my stomach acid etc.

Diabetes starts 10 years before diagnosis.
Most people miss the early signs until it hits their brain, heart, and waistline.
The good news: it’s reversible.
Here’s the step-by-step blueprint to fix it: 🧵

Here’s the step-by-step blueprint to fix it: 🧵
1. First, Understand this Myth:
“Diabetes runs in my family; I’m doomed.”
TRUTH: Only 10–15% of type 2 diabetes risk is genetic (Nature Reviews Genetics).
The Pima Indians had near-zero diabetes until processed foods arrived. One generation later → 50% diabetes rates.

2. How diabetes silently destroys you:
Fat → turns into a toxin factory (ceramides)
Muscle → insulin blocks protein synthesis (atrophy begins)
Brain → hippocampus shrinks, dementia risk ↑
Lifespan → 10+ years lost via glycation

DMSO helps patients recover from so many ailments, it “seems unbelievable,” says James Miller.
It’s been used for autoimmune disorders, diabetic neuropathy, chronic pain, arthritis, and even cancer.
Yet 99% of people have never even heard of it.
DMSO is a remarkably safe compound derived from wood pulp with a unique ability to penetrate biological membranes and enter cells.
With chronic pain, you apply it to the affected area after washing, and relief is often felt within minutes.
And DMSO is not alone. There are other therapies out there that treat multiple conditions.
But modern medicine ignores them. Here’s why. 🧵

Modern medicine is built on a simple idea: that the human body can be understood through clean, predictable models.
But biology doesn’t work that way.
The body is a complex system with countless variables interacting at once. But when real-world outcomes don’t match the model, the system rarely questions the model.
Instead, it defends it.
Evidence that fits is emphasized. Evidence that doesn’t is dismissed.
That’s how medicine shifted from outcome-driven care into narrative protection.

Dove la gente, invece di avere la lingua paralizzata, continuava a parlare, parlare, in un insopportabile chiacchiericcio.
Tacere significava per Kraus riprendere fiato, cercare le parole giuste, riflettere prima di esprimersi.
Ti giuro che io ho riflettuto prima di raccontare

In today’s Vatnik Soup, we introduce our first Czech vatnik, Tomio Okamura. He’s best known for building a political career on xenophobia while being of mixed origins himself, and for pushing Kremlin narratives in Czechia, a country otherwise very supportive of Ukraine.

Okamura was born in Tokyo in 1972 to a Japanese-Korean father and Czech mother. He spent part of his childhood in Japan, and part in a Czechoslovak foster home where he was heavily bullied. His mixed origins made it difficult for him to fit in either country.

Nonetheless, after working odd jobs in Japan, Tomio returned to Czechia and became a successful entrepreneur in Japanese tourism. He then rose in politics: Senator in 2012, MP in 2013, he founded two parties: Dawn of Direct Democracy and SPD (Freedom and Direct Democracy).

Unlike the other two much older "Kings" this connotation has the subtext of blackmail in exchange for stardom.

Symbolism is far more typically re-used than it is invented. Meaning there's a good chance he wasn't the first "Weinstein".
And indeed, did you know the wife of Ed Sullivan was named Weinstein?
It's a perfect fit because he was the original "KINGMAKER" of Hollywood!

So I’m putting together this thread 🧵 because in just the past two days, several more ridiculous fake videos of snow and blizzards in Gaza have been making the rounds on social media. It’s enough to make you want to pull your hair out.
I’m copying @GAZAWOOD1, @visegrad24, and @TheMossadIL into this in the hope they and all of you may help share this and prevent more stupid people from sending their money to these Islamists.
Now one of the videos in particular is the most damning, the 4th video in this thread, because it’s posted by an Australian who has been duped like an idiot into sending funds to an Arab fan so clearly conning him.
Watch these videos and see just how insane this all is.
THERE IS NO SNOW IN GAZA!!
So I’m putting together this thread 🧵 because in just the past two days, several more ridiculous fake videos of snow and blizzards in Gaza have been making the rounds on social media. It’s enough to make you want to pull your hair out.

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s testimony made it clear his criminal prosecutions of Donald Trump didn’t fail—they were blocked.
The evidence was overwhelming, including from Trump’s own allies and supporters.
As Smith said, Trump was guilty beyond any reasonable doubt of conspiring to overthrow the 2020 elections by fraud and force. (1/10)

As Smith said, Trump was guilty beyond any reasonable doubt of conspiring to overthrow the 2020 elections by fraud and force. (1/10)
In his testimony, Mr. Smith explained that the January 6 investigation was built primarily on statements from Trump’s own allies and fellow Republicans, including senior party officials who supported him but told him the truth about his losing the election. (2/10)
Mr. Smith further testified that a sweeping injunction issued by Judge Aileen Cannon barred him from discussing with the Committee the overwhelming evidence that Trump knowingly retained hundreds of presidential and highly classified records in the bathrooms and ballrooms of his Mar-a-Lago club and then deliberately defied subpoenas, obstructed law enforcement, hid evidence, and lied about his continuing retention of these records. This is a judicial coverup. (3/10)

You’ve probably heard this before: your best marketers are your customers
But most brands still treat UGC (user-generated content) like an optional cherry on top
Reality: it proves your product works and keeps customers talking about you long after checkout
Here are 5 ways to collect and use UGC for growth in email👇
But most brands still treat UGC (user-generated content) like an optional cherry on top
Reality: it proves your product works and keeps customers talking about you long after checkout
Here are 5 ways to collect and use UGC for growth in email👇
1. Build a UGC Machine
Relying on organic customer posts alone is risky – some months you’ll get a flood, others a trickle. The key is building systems that capture content consistently.
Here are some ideas to try:
-Trigger post-purchase review requests with photo/video uploads.
-Add a simple “Share your unboxing” CTA with a branded hashtag.
-Run seasonal or themed UGC campaigns (e.g., “Holiday Looks with [Brand]”).
-Offer small incentives like discount codes, loyalty points, or features on your site/email to encourage submissions.
Think of it as a content flywheel: every purchase should feed fresh UGC back into your marketing.

2. Use Customer Reviews In Your Campaigns
Don’t just stick reviews on your product pages (although definitely do that too).
They’re retention and acquisition gold, so use them everywhere. Sprinkle them in your emails, texts, pop-ups, social media posts… you name it.
Here are some ideas to try:
-Drop a rave review into reorder reminders (“This serum cleared my skin in two weeks”).
-Use review snippets in cart abandonment emails to ease doubts.
-Pair educational content with reviews that reinforce your advice.
-Send a short SMS with one standout review + link back to the product.
Reviews convince first-timers and nudge existing customers toward that next purchase.

1/7 Why appointing Budanov to replace Yermak as Zelensky’s chief of staff might be the right choice and what it means for Ukraine’s future 🧵
2/7 Zelensky announced Budanov will succeed Yermak as chief of staff.
Yermak stepped down in November after years in the role. He was powerful and feared, which matters during war, but unpopular, seen as incompetent, and tied to corruption.
Change was inevitable

2026 ANOTHER YEAR OF CHAOS
Editor's Note
syedzaidzamanhamid@gmail.com
Agenda 2030 is no longer a distant roadmap, it is halfway complete. The world did not fall overnight; it was guided, softened, isolated, digitized.
First came fear. Pandemics, exaggerated, and weaponized-locked humanity behind screens.
COVID-19 was not just a virus; it was a rehearsal.
Humans were trained to obey algorithms, trust dashboards more than neighbors, and replace touch with technology.
Dependency was engineered. Artificial Intelligence stepped in as savior, assistant, doctor, teacher-quietly preparing to replace the very species that built it. Now whispers grow louder: worse pandemics are coming.
Under the banner of climate engineering, skies are seeded with chemicals, and so called chemtrails are sprayed like invisible scars across the atmosphere, quietly poisoning the planet's fragile balance.
Clouds no longer carry rain alone, but experiments; winds no longer bring relief, but particles.
Crops sicken without explanation, birds lose their sense of direction, and ecosystems unravel in silence while the Earth absorbs the damage, unseen and unanswered.
Control now reaches the very plates of humanity.
Food is no longer nourishment, it is leverage.
Global conglomerates dictate what grows, what feeds, and what reaches your table.
Seeds are patented, fertilizers regulated, water systems monitored, and livestock genetically optimized for profit and obedience.
Independent farmers struggle under artificial shortages, manipulated markets, and global sanctions.
Hunger is no accident; it is a tool, a quiet weapon of compliance.
The pantry of the world is slowly becoming a ledger of submission.
In Europe, farmers take to the streets, their tractors forming barricades on highways, barns turned into fortresses.
From Paris to Berlin, protests erupt-not merely over subsidies, but over survival, autonomy, and the right to feed their own people without digital permits or corporate approval.
Regulations, monopolies, and genetically engineered mandates threaten centuries-old traditions. The smell of soil and manure mixes with tear gas, as a continent's heart fights against slow strangulation by invisible hands.
In the middle east, Gaza bleeds under unrelenting oppression. Homes reduced to rubble, water and medicine controlled like currency, access to life itself rationed.
Children grow up counting drones instead of birthdays; the streets echo with a symphony of explosions, fear, and whispered survival.
Decisions made in distant boardrooms dictate who lives and who dies.
The machinery of cruelty moves efficiently, while the world watches selectively silent, comfortable behind their screens.
Meanwhile, war drums echo. Russia and Europe stare into the abyss.
One spark away from global fire. Indo-Pak tensions simmer, where a single spark will turn into a full blown fire that could rewrite history in nuclear ash.
Across the Pacific, Taiwan stands as a fragile pawn under the gaze of two superpowers.
China flexes military might, asserting dominance, while the United States responds with strategic positioning, arms shipments, and warnings.
Trade routes, semiconductor supply chains, and technology access are all weapons in a war that could erupt at any misstep.
Above it all, control tightens.
Digital identities are sold as convenience, but feel more like invisible prison bars.
Digital currencies promise efficiency, yet erase freedom with every transaction tracked, approved, or denied.
This is not the end of the world.
It is the end of the world as we knew it.
Those unprepared will be swept away-confused, compliant, dependent.
Those with weak faith will trade truth for comfort, freedom for safety, soul for survival.
But some will see.
Some will resist-not only with weapons, but with faith, clarity, and unbreakable resolve.
This New Year is not about hope.
It is about awakening.
Because in an age of deception, only the prepared will stand!

Insulin is a hormone.
Its job? Help your cells absorb sugar from food.
But when your body is overloaded with sugar for too long…
Your cells stop listening.
So your pancreas pumps out even more insulin to compensate.

But nobody knew what actually drives this cleaning process. Most studies used anaesthesia, which isn't real sleep.

They found during deep sleep, norepinephrine pulses every ~50 seconds. Each pulse squeezes blood vessels, pushing cleaning fluid through the brain.

The viral claim made by the guy in the video is of poor quality FYI. If you review the data that "January babies are smarter" appears to stem from recent social media posts and reels, often attributing it to increased maternal melatonin during darker winter months in the third trimester (typically October-December for a January birth), which allegedly boosts fetal brain myelination and white matter development for faster neural signaling and higher IQ.
However, this is not strongly supported by rigorous scientific evidence and studies on birth month and intelligence show mixed, small, or inconsistent effects, and melatonin’s role in fetal myelination, while plausible, lacks direct causal proof for superior outcomes in January specifically.
However, this is not strongly supported by rigorous scientific evidence and studies on birth month and intelligence show mixed, small, or inconsistent effects, and melatonin’s role in fetal myelination, while plausible, lacks direct causal proof for superior outcomes in January specifically.
2. Sun exposure (red/NIR light) also boosts mitochondrial melatonin production, which doesn't always circulate but supports local cellular repair. This could counterbalance winter darkness if mothers get daytime light, per my emphasis on light cycles for health.Melatonin, produced in response to darkness, does influence fetal brain development, including myelination (insulation of neural fibers for faster signaling). Maternal melatonin crosses the placenta, helping regulate fetal circadian rhythms and neuroprotection.
Reviews in Human Reproduction Update (2014) and Frontiers in Endocrinology (2020) show melatonin rises in late pregnancy, peaking at night, and supports fetal brain maturation, antioxidant protection, and timing of birth. Winter darkness (longer nights) could amplify this, as noted in Children (2024) where seasonal effects increase melatonin synthesis.
Animal studies (e.g., in sheep) link higher maternal melatonin to better fetal myelination and white matter integrity. Human evidence is indirect: Preterm infants given melatonin show reduced brain injury risk (PMC7820522, 2021), and winter births correlate with slightly better sleep regulation in infants due to in-utero darkness cues.
However, no studies directly link third-trimester winter darkness to superior IQ or myelination in January babies. Brain development peaks in the last trimester, but total darkness exposure varies: For North America (shortest days November-February), March-April babies (conceived ~June-July, third trimester December-March) might actually get more cumulative darkness, as I've calculated, contradicting the viral claim.

3. One more key confounder here is that 95% of melatonin production in humans is mitochondrial not pineal.

Your great-great-grandfather didn't have a surname.
He had a gotra. A kula. A title earned or inherited. A village name. A trade.
Then the British census arrived. 1871–1881.
Suddenly, administration needed fixed surnames. Standardized. Permanent. Inheritable only through patrilineal descent.
Surname took birth in addition to "son of / daughter of / wife of"

They cared about taxation, land records, and census data.
So they imported their system: fixed hereditary surnames. Alphabetically sortable. Administratively convenient.
By 1900, most of India had complied. Not by choice. By necessity.

Imagina estar en medio del océano Pacífico en 1700. Navegar era una apuesta suicida hasta que llegó una pieza de ingeniería perfecta. Para sobrevivir, la humanidad creó un "superordenador" de bolsillo, el GPS "analógico" del siglo XVIII: el Sextante. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
Espera, ¿y los españoles? Dominaron los mares siglos antes sin sextante y dieron la vuelta al mundo usando el astrolabio y la ballestilla. Eran maestros absolutos leyendo el cielo, pero sus herramientas tenían un precio: requerían mirar al sol o tener un pulso de acero.
El problema de esos instrumentos antiguos, la ballestilla y el cuadrante de Davis, es que eran inestables. En un barco español en medio de una tormenta, alinear el sol con el horizonte era una pesadilla. Además, la "ballestilla" te obligaba a mirar al sol, dejándote ciego.

Pokrovsk industrial area. Russian soldiers move in waves of groups of 1-3 soldiers along the highway.
In the orange square, very frequent and large traffic of infantry is recorded.
From there, they cross the railway into the industrial zone along the indicated routes. Russian forces seem to still be unable to consolidate their positions there.

Just east of this area, Russian forces tend to move as shown in the picture, mostly following the urbanized area but also attempting infiltrations in the treelines just north of Pokrovsk.
