1/ Point du jour - Rapport mi-journée - 26 Juin 2022 #UkraineMap#UkraineRussianWar#CarteUkraine
Situation has not changed Globally but several important moves from Russian near #Lysychansk where they try to keep their momentum in order to surround it
Gen Staff report
Part 1 -
2/ "the enemy's main efforts were focused on advancing in the directions of the settlements #Dovgenke (area) and #Mazanivka ... #Kurulka "
3/ Gen staff report part 2 -
Nothing special there except the classical use of arty as much as they can to try to suppress all ZSU #UAarmy defenses and try to block them from moving more materials or blocking troops (pin down) in certain areas.
4/ Report from #Luhansk governor Сергій Гайдай (Serhiy Gaidai)
more direct infos around #Lysichansk#Lysychansk#UkraineMap#CarteUkraine (Map to be confirmed by the end of the day) - some local reports (as usual) are not confirmed (Nope, i still don't take tiktok vids as true ;)
5/ here a "Firms" rendering of fires in the area (normally i don't post this but pp asked) because you are missing a lot & can introduce a lot of interpretations biases (you see none of the shelling of #BilaGora Bila Hora for example) also size of pixels/importance is "off" etc.
6/ Pertes supposées russes du jour
and Russian report (just for info i do it once a week. it's litteraly lalaland but just informing new comers that i tend to show it once a week)
8/ Reminder : #Russian "classic" #BTGs representation (so you can count units down from Week report) also note that BTGs now are more "frankensteined" (mixed with other mechanized or infantry units depending of the area) & no more up to 800/1000 men but average more 500 men.
10/ Now 2 maps
to help you to visualize on this 4th month of war that since Ru moved out from the North they have lost territories not the opposite.
now we r focusing on local gains.. be carefull!
do not "despair" w/ the East local losses. it's really not important/size country.
11/ Also just a quick note to say one more time (as Gaidai perfectly expressed it yesterday) that #Severodonetsk is totally destroyed. & all infrastructures are down. so Russians won't live there it's a gain like a prize of "consolation", it's a progression on a total burn land.
12/ Fra news! (i have no info on this!) a convoy of French VAB armored personnel carriers was spotted in Slovakia yesterday. Judging by their appearance, they were removed from storage and apparently intended for transfer to the Armed Forces of #Ukraine
16/ President Zelenskyy: No Russian missiles, no strikes can break the morale of Ukrainians #Ukraine
17/ a- it would be a perfect time as some countries already talked about it, to vote (maybe not a no fly zone as it would be still very difficult to do bc engagement against ru jet fighters) an "exclusion" zone (and then put all AA defense available by Nato countries to exclude
18/ b- all incoming missiles from Ru that would go past the 32° longitude East.
it would do several good things as protected also Odessa and also would prevent for effing Belarus to try do anything in a near future in terms of rocket agressions etc.
19/ El Pais: NATO is discussing the largest military deployment since the Cold War.
According to the publication, NATO allies are ready to start an intense arms race. At Madrid, the alliance will adopt a new strategic concept that will “put an end to ties with the Russ Federation
22/ Long time coming thread (i always do something similar before a general move from Russia in a specific area/progression on a new axis.
What we r clearly witnessing now is Russia desire to push all it's forces in the polygon #Izyum#Sloviansk#Lysichansk#Bakhmut#Kramatorsk
23/ considering the time/ressources/effort/men "spent" on the previous months. this is clearly the only area now putin could envision to gain in the next 3/4 months.
Today i'll only give "my two cents" projections on the #Lysichansk#Lyssytchansk#Лисичанськ area #UkraineMap
24/ lots of questions for the last week about my thoughts about this, if it would be a good idea or not to stay in #Lysichansk#Лисичанськ . first of, there is not one true answer or i can't give any kind of estimate time as how long this city could resist. (read more below)
25/ Ukraine high command/military chief might want (as i explained to someone this morning) to "use" as much as they can all this area, in regards of what that will "cost" them.
there are studies in psychology that call this a "min/max behavior" as we all do for different reasons
26/ the only true limit as i explained is that you don't want to lose heavy good materials & more good troops than the other is losing. also this "combat retardateur" (Fra) might assume its aim of breaking the russian momentum until Ukr forces r ready for strong counterattack.
27/ As you can see in the specific map i've made, there is no really any difficulties in term of "high" grounds" to overcome for Russians.
read next comments in box below...
28/ Some of you might not have read this, so i'll put it back here. but it explains why it would with some difficulties to use the new systems (like Himars M142 MLRs or Suzanna's type of howitzers ... or very carefully) too close to this area :
29/ Also one of the last point to take in consideration would be the report of the Ru forces in the area and the willingness or not (and the capacity or not -because no CAS not much heavy MBT etc in the area) from the Ukr army to finally do some real manoeuvers "push-pull" there.
30/ that's about it. one more time, not a thread for specialist. here i first answer friends with no military backgrounds and tries to make it simple (not stupid) for anyone to understand the "key points"/scheme to consider. not making prediction here. impossible to say...
END.
31/ I have received more infos like that from different sources in Ukr and from french journalist (Le Monde) in the area of Zaporijia and also 2 ex soldiers in the area of Kyiv and one person in Kharkiv.
so, saddly this is real.
32/ Reports coming in of a large attack by #Ukrainian forces on #snakeisland snake island. #Russian are "crying" about it on telegram channels and official accounts seems to acknowledge the info.
to be confirmed.
Reminder from @OSINT88
33/ Gen staff -last report of the day -
nothing has really changed (see maps from this morning or days before for special focus maps)
Russians have been blocked in their progress in the south of #Lysichansk and now are coming back to their bread and butter : more artillery...
34/ it seems that the attack of #Ukrainians in Zaporijia/Donetsk axis is still going on. and they resist the push back from Russians. the good thing is that it relieved pressure near Velyka novosylka...
i'll do a better map if it goes on and start to really be meaningful.

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to
force a refresh
on this Assange release event...
(political choice before big next election)
let me put this link back here to show you that Ru were also already there for "long shots" way back then...
Network/ppl level/influencers/media/politics/"hacktivists" etc etc
3/ also a must read for people who will say next "ho! i didn't know about that..
and keep in mind Mueller investigation cannot give you half of the extent of the reality as they never had access to all the CIA sources... washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
2/ #TaurusLeak reveals the complete breach of all secured protocol / incompetence of German officers in the #Luftwaffe - German gov is really mad about it right now. Also all intel services are all hands on deck right now.
3/ so allegedly "being wiretapped, conspiratorial telephone conference by the Bundeswehr leadership, they plan to trick the federal government regarding the 🇩🇪 cruise missile in order to bring about delivery. Goal? Among other things, the attack on the Crimean Bridge" (sic)
voilà voilà... j'en ai encore parlé hier soir
(j'ai juste supprimer le post hier soir parce que j'avais trop de messages, mais il semble maintenant que tout le monde va être au courant)
Par contre bcp de choses sont encore à régler. ce n'est pas facile surtout en ce moment.. 1/
2/ Paris et Kiev finalisent les préparatifs de la visite du président @EmmanuelMacron en #Ukraine, en se concentrant sur un accord pour que la France fournisse des avions de combat multirôles #Mirage 2000D. Le ministre ukrainien de la Défense, Rustem #Umerov, est attendu
@EmmanuelMacron 3/ cette semaine à Paris pour finaliser les accords avec le ministre français de la Défense @SebLecornu . Le plan initial prévoyait le transfert de six avions, mais ce nombre est désormais porté à 12. La France recherche également des missiles et des solutions de formation, avec
1/ #Gaza map update #IDF despite really hard battle involving dismounting troops/Spec forces at night r allegedly breaking through to Gaza City center, but as we can't confirm it, we can still produce this map that is made on only verified locations (blue limits for IDF)
#Israel
2/ from yesterday evening. i also had direct infos that the area between the north south axis, west to the defensive walls (stripe areas) are indeed totally under complete surveillance. What i was just not able to figure out is if there is a junction with troops coming from Beit
3/ hanoun or not. Also infos from journalist i've translate seems to confirms all the geoloc that were assessed to make this map.
Actually what an israeli journalist said on the ground is that all the main axis are AT least under direct control up to 500m to be able to interdict
1/ So actually here is how we have to "read it" :
"i don't give a damn fck abt palestinians, but as long as they all play in my hands (incl south Liban & Syria & Iran & Yemen) & that American are forced to stall their help toward Ukraine... i'm just super happy you idiots"
2/ there is no "friends" (out of best friends) for him, there is right now a HUGE amount of cards he can plays to create greater problems for people who are helping Ukraine.
between dozen millions of hebrew/jews around the world and BILLIONS of people he might use for his plan
3/ the "thinking process" was quite easy .
also never forget that there are lots of muslims in Russia and he certainly does not want right now, any problems with people he might need to send to the front line in Ukraine in order to serve as canon fodder
#Gaza map update. #IDF has almost reached the main points of entry south of Gaza City, severing main LOCS to the southern Gaza Strip. Up north the situation is not that clear, but despite tremendous hard battles, it seems that they are able to still move forward
#Israel #Hamas
2/ in the meantime in lalaland
3/ also i do believe talking to a good friend of mine...
that this famous map with tunnels' sketches is really for kids
not saying they don't exist of course, but that the actual lines are really not looking like that !
