1/ Operational situation update/ #russian_invasion in #Ukraine on January 24, 2023
No major changes today. No Ru breakthrough whatsoever. Basically, They were contained or even pushed back... all day long
& one good news #UkraineMap
4/ so if #UAarmy decides to go on and push even further and achieve to push Ru down the hill back to to the valley (Dacha etc) then it would even be possible to break the Russians in their back in #Opytne and that would be absolutely awesome !! because it will break their morale
5/ last news is about #Kreminna and there is some good news there. constant gain in all directions r reported & UKR troops there are like hunters watching what could be soon their trophy.
so i guess it could be like for Lyman & maybe we can wait 10-15 more days before good news
6/ but unless RU commands suddenly decides to send there an entire Brigade to hold the place, it's very likely that the entire part of the city up to the crossings of both rivers s going to be a major gain quite "soon".
The only real "bad factor" is how much Ru mined everything
8/ Sorry to come up with last minute bad news, but friend of mine with some contacts sent me a direct Message (he did this only 2 times in 2 months) telling me there is an actually really tense situation around #Bakhmut right now and RU are trying something "definitive" now...
9/ maybe because of different reasons like #Prigozhin#Prigojine being mocked right now, for no real success and him wanting to be able to still "flex" in front of Putin & to be able to still being the one that can (with Kadyrov) mock the Russian mil "establishments"...
Also bc
10/ they certainly wants good news in case that #Kreminna could become a next UKR success... who knows all the reasons,
but truth is drugged Zombies are backed out there & they are pushing hard on several axis & not taking "wide" encirclement but shortcut even if more deadly
11/ so i made a quick map of several general areas where they are pushing now & apparently have some success. (sorry not high quality map).
I mean Bakhmut defense is solid & city is big and UKR have plenty of time to fight back but if Gen commander decides not to give/send proper
12/ good units & reinforcements soon in the area. like FeDEx style... this could be soon a pure horror nightmare and relatively quick fall like it has happened in #Soledar.
I mean i have heard some US/UK intel officer explaining their doubts now about the current tactic in UKR
13/ (i talked about my doubts too on certain occasion & certain special circumstances about that special 100% defense "stance" ) and maybe Bakhmut is the city to reconsider all this.
as i remind a lot of you out there who might not know about, but half the best Brigades are now
14/ having some rest and are in the "back" regrouping/doing training and so on & so forth but there are a lot of "FNGs" (pardon my "french")
so it's quite difficult to manage such an important front with so little help / materials. and "managerial decision"
22/ after being slapped (moraly) by all the western countries & by harsh comments made several times by some very concerned citizens (yes i confess) #Switzerland is on the verge to finally go the right way :
23/ As strange as it sounds...
just send them materials with defects/electronic they are not able to repair themselves.
(but i'm not sure some countries on this list will ever "betray" their old brother.
ping Friend Lucio @comcen76 comments?
strange vibe
24/ et je vais clôturer pour la nuit avec la @TFBaguette
(faisait un petit moment que je ne les avais pas vu les crapules... ;) Allez force et honneur !
Hello There!
Well well... it seems to me that this night was an absolute Epic night my friends! (& who stayed up late in the night to report?? yep... exactly ;-)
In one night another equivalent of a full "BTG"
Bonne journée à tous ! #RussiansLosses#RussiaIsCollapsing#Russia
2/ I mean no one asked the Orcs to come to #Ukraine
and they can all go back "home" behind their own frontiers... safe and sounds.
1000 men a day.. Pfuiii that's sound like a real "bummer" to me..
3/ Now just catching on the recent news..
i can' t stop enjoying this day so far !!
"Sweden’s Defense Minister Pål #Jonson stated this morning that Sweden might send its Stridsvagn 122 tanks (modernized Leopard 2A5s) to #Ukraine ".
1/ mini thread if you are interested in economy in #Ukraine
We have received several time numerous of comments and approx "figures" about it, & i have reported about it several times, & we know it is down to about 30%.
but following documents are the firsts (to my knowledge) to
2/ really give some exact account and real figures of what some parts of the economy are really up to now.
i've tried (because i'm cool cat to make a translation for you but the reco soft have some "pain" with the linked docs, so i'll give you both, & maybe you'll have better
3/ outcome with your "own" soft.
so, first : here about official link and explanations :
Hello there!
Bonne journée à tous les amis! et ne vous en faites pas... on veille au grain!
2/ hé oui........ 😂😂😂
(i also do have deep thoughts for #Egyptian who bought this "amazing" #Ka52 ... just good enough for hunting & killing ISIS and just not enough to ever give #Israel any nightmare...) #Russiangoingdown
1/ Operational situation update/ #russian_invasion in #Ukraine on January 23, 2023
Globally the situation is still under the control of #Ukrainians everywhere. no major Ru breakthrough whatsoever. but always some relentless attacks
in lots of direction today - recap #UkraineMap
2/ As explained yesterday some actions are still taking places all around #Bilohorivka in #Luhansk and Ru are trying to find a way to defeat defenses there, but globally they are just failing because they are bad Tango dancers & are far less good soldiers in that specific area
3/ #Ukrainian defenders repelled enemy attacks in the areas of #Vyimka where Ru were asked this morning to launch another deep attack. but lack of materials, training & really planning against very well prepared #UAarmy failed one more time in the area..
They can't attack from
1/ Operational situation update/ #russian_invasion in #Ukraine on January 22, 2023
Just a quick update today as nothing really has changed for the last 36h #Bakhmut area.
so just a gen map tonight #UkraineMap
2/ Also take the opportunity to war you about several "map maker" i'm "watching" some times to times, making their "stuff".
people showing maps with you full plain color on the edge of battle area are wrong. pseudo villages "secured" is very often diluted in more complex reality
3/ People showing you the exact location and advance of Russians are just using Russian direct sources for propaganda purposes & when there is a real dynamic it could trick you to believe it"s ok as it's moving on with the tide.. but i have proven this quite often in past summer
3/ just in : #Poland will find a way to transfer German #Leopard2 2 tanks to #Ukraine even without #Germany's permission, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said.
US is pushing #Poland to it's own interest-
DOUBLE interest actually. Replace Germany leadership of MBT in Europe/
