yesterday - - Russia is said to have taken it

[ichkeria]

Russia controls most of an area defined as Bakhmut municipality - since February they used their meat grinder tactics to push forward in this area. This area however is deserted rubble: Ukraine continues to advance around the sides and probably has created salients to the north and south of the Russian occupied bits.
Basically the Russians have fought themselves into a tat trap and therefore I would not be surprised if Prigozhin is serious about handing over this large millstone to the main Russian military.
Other than that I’d not take Prigozhin’s rants too seriously. When the Russians start to retreat I’m not sure it’ll make a lot of difference who blames who for what

It seems that Russian warship the Ivan Khurs was badly damaged by one of the drones Russia alleges hit it a couple of days ago.
Going to meet the Moskva perhaps :-)
Also rumours US Abram tanks will arrive next month and F-16 training has already completed for some pilots.

Russian city of Krasnodar hit by drones this morning.

The ones fired at Ukraine were all shot down ;-)

Counteroffensive (kontrastup) is imminent.

Fingers crossed.

Poor Vladimir, sometimes one can almost feel sorry for him (not really) His learning curve is steep, he is discovering the veracity of Woody Allen's Second Law of Thermodynamics ;

I spoke too soon @7.31 alas of course. Nothing hits Kyiv these days but not everywhere has the same level of air defence protection.

In occupied Berdansk a lot of things having been going boom today ...
Zaluzhny (my friend here) made a stirring address last night.
Not long now ...

Lukashenko reportedly seriously ill in Moscow hospital after meeting with Putin.
Oh-oh
Meanwhile lots of attacks in occupied S Ukraine today and also across the border in Belgorod and Bryansk. Russia reportedly pulled a lot of troops out of Ukraine to defend Russia against itself ;-)

[Khandro]

And now for something completely different:

'Lukashenko offers nuclear weapons to nations that join Russia-Belarus union
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has said that if any other country wanted to join a Russia-Belarus union there could be "nuclear weapons for everyone."'

Hooray! Roll up, roll up & grab 'em while you can.
