Ukrainian forces caprtured the southern part of Vysokopillya in northern Kherson oblast, a geolocated image from the town's hospital proves. Image
Russian source - which I am strictly forbidden to quote of course - confirm the Ukrainian advance and say Olhyne & Arkhangelsk are also under severe Ukrainian attack with both towns now more than 50% under Ukrainian control.
Never forget: Orange stripes are just coping strategy. Image
So red is Russian-occupied on their maps with orange/yellow stripes just outside their control.
Russian propagandists claim to have recaptured the town this pm.
Highly unverified. The same propagandists claimed this noon the Ukrainian flag image is from August 30 after which the town was allegedly recaptured by Russians. They later deleted that claim. Image
Their “Ukrainian journalist” source is a pro-Kremlin activist who lives in Russia, if I’m not mistaken.
Correction: He is in Spain right now.🤷🏼‍♂️

For months now, pro-Ukrainian experts claim, Russia is “losing its morale”, its troops are being “exhausted”, every taken village is “a meat grinder” and Putin’s hordes will soon (“until August, “winter”, “end of the year”) be defeated.
The reality is something else.
Three are no signs of Russia’s offensive running out of steam, to the opposite, the Kremlin army is slowly but steadily advancing.
But Putin has all the time, he doesn’t have to care about elections and human life is the cheapest in his country and the occupied areas.
So my argument for many weeks: 🇺🇦 needs not just more powerful heavy weapons (especially from Western European and North American countries), but also finally a real general mobilization. With 500.000 men and women, it won’t defend the country forever. 5.000.000 would be better.

First visual evidence (from yesterday), the Russian invasion army inded entered #Soledar and captured the Knauf plant plus more than ten streets.
If they were not beaten back since, the Ukrainian army is not revealing the real sitiation from this sector of the front.
The fact that they entered the area from the north, using the plant as cover for their infantry, means, Bakhmutske was still under Ukrainian control yesterday while the situation in Yakovlikva is probably much worse than on my map.
More images, said to be from inside captured Soledar, but I can't geolocate them now.

Es sieht finster aus im Osten oder 🇺🇦.
Mit den bislang von @BMVg_Bundeswehr & anderen gelieferten Waffen, ist die russische Offensive zwar verlangsamt worden, gestoppt wurde sie jedoch nicht.
Der Westen hat es bislang nicht geschafft, die Feuerüberlegenheit 🇷🇺s auszugleichen.
Russland errichtet sein Überlegenheit mit (fast)Zweitweltkriegstechnologie wie diesen 75 Jahre alten D-20-Haubitzen. Würden wir der Ukraine ausreichend Aufklärungsmöglichkeiten und Präzisionswaffen zur Verfügung stellen, wäre es ein Leichtes, sie auszuschalten. Doch wir versagen.
Eine Alternative wären Angriffswaffen wie der Marder oder der Leopard, die unter dem Artilleriebeschuss hindurch fahren und die russischen Stellungen angreifen und vernichten können. Doch auch diese Möglichkeit versagen wir der Ukraine.

A Russian army Giatsint-B battery destroyed another Ukrainian (British-made, US-sponsored) M777 artillery piece in eastern Ukraine.
The relatively short firing range of only around 20 km is the big weakness of the M777.
It MUST be used, using the "shoot-and-scoot" procedure.
Some say, it's a FH-70, but I would rather go with the M777.
And yes: Most of its delivered shells have a range, 5 km less than the Russian 2A36. Image
All: When commenting "it's old", please ALWAYS link the original source.
Thank you, djakuyu and spasibo.

Irgendwie kam das in der ZDF-Doku aus der Stadt gar nicht vor … nur Leute, die nicht wollten, dass „es weiter geht“ bzw. die ukrainische Armee die Stadt wieder befreit.
Bekommen heute noch Bauchschmerzen beim Gedanke an die Propaganda-Doku „Unterwegs mit der russischen Armee“ …
Kein einziger Hinweis auf russische Kriegsverbrechen, kein Krieg, sondern ein „Konflikt“ und ja, natürlich seien immer russische Soldaten bei den Interviews dabei gewesen, aber „richtige“ Zensur sei das nicht gewesen, sonst hätte man das ja gar nicht veröffentlicht …
🥴🤢🤮
Habe mir die gesamte Doku und die 38-minütige Einordnung mit dem Korrespondenten angesehen. War schockiert, wie der Sender versucht hat, diese Farce mit vorgespielter kritischer Reflexion irgendwie doch noch als „ein Stück weit authentisch“ zu verkaufen.
