Update and today's headline is #Bakhmut will not be taken#.
Many now say that I stick out my chin unnecessarily, but all the elements are now in place to claim this.
/1
The situation in Bakhmut itself has not changed in three days; it's tough but the tourists are not advancing to the point where they could knock us out. Time is on our side and the tourists' maxi-energy (perhaps they should eat more Tupla choccobars) has ebbed, -
/2
everyone can see that with the more detailed information that is available.They try and try but are so predictable that ours have a bitter cough medicine ready far in advance. Since we now have urban battles, the artillery must be used in a different way than when fighting -
in open ground.
/3
Now the so-called light artillery plays a big role, we could see this yesterday when the tourists tried to get across the channel like a shocked head...scooping chickens, they literally became like that too.
/4
You have to show some success, so they advance a few meters over open ground northwest of Soledar and try attacks at Hryhorivka and Khromove as well as Spirne, without any real results. Why you don't put everything in one shot in one place has puzzled me for a long time now.
/5
So to another thing that makes me strong in my headline writing. Armored vehicles are POURING in on Bakhmut, and it's no soviet era crap!! The tanks that were stored near my home have also arrived, at least 5 of them.
/6
The war vloggers who support the other side are screaming in anger why their strategic bombers aren't knocking out our convoys, but we have plenty of air defenses in the area.
/7
Further take into account the large forces we have in Siversk and Sloviansk, at least for me, the plans begin to clear. There won't be ONE vector for the major offensive, but TWO.
/8
The third thing that will decide the war before midsummer is the decisions that have now seeped out from the EU and the US/Canada:
/9
we will get up to 1 million shells within a short time. This shows that the politicians are now thinking along the lines I reported a while ago: Ammunition production cannot survive a protracted war, but must be decided in a quick and merciless attack.
/10
Yesterday also came the statement from the general staff to our battalions that only 2 more weeks are needed until our new elite brigades are fully established. After that a few weeks of special training and they are done.
/11
These so-called new brigades consist of experienced soldiers with good combat experience. They are taken from different battalions and in their place it is replenished with the reserve.
/12
The reserve's reserve has also undergone its basic training, so we will be ready in good time for day T minus 0.
Of course, not everything has gone as it did on Strömsö thanks to the corruption. Right now it can only be tolerated to a certain extent, -
/13
but after the major offensive it will be hunted with a blowtorch.
The corruption and revelations of the people who profit from the suffering of the population will be a theme in my reporting for non grata.
/14
More about why I chose this media platform and where the funds for my newsletter go will be clearly explained in our information. More on that later.
Energy Front 2022's latest delivery arrives on Tuesday, so Wednesday there will be a more detailed report on this.
/15
Right now we don't have a priority project, so the donations that come in are saved and earmarked when we receive a priority project. They will come when the major offensive rolls on. The channel right now is:

NATO discusses the idea of deploying up to 300,000 troops on the border with Russia
NATO spoke about the need to strengthen the eastern borders with the Russian Federation -
/1
by accumulating equipment and a military contingent of up to 300 thousand soldiers, this should make it impossible for Russia to expand the war beyond Ukraine.

Xi Jinping is walking the diplomatic tightrope to Moscow - seeking to portray China as a global peacemaker while strengthening ties with his closest ally, Putin, who faces criminal charges over his war in Ukraine, Reuters writes reuters.com/world/touting-…
/1.
Leaving Monday on his first trip abroad since being elected to a third term, Xi will seek to polish Beijing's diplomatic clout after brokering a surprise détente between Saudi Arabia and Iran last week.

But Putin, even as he strengthens his “borderless” partnership with China, is becoming increasingly isolated.
