That’s not that good, I can do that on a good day if I’m really hungry.

Surrendering is good, we need more of those people on the Russian side not less.

I’m with you, I could also be over correcting for my own pro Ukraine bias as well. I guess it’s hard for any of us to know the true situation but let’s hope your view is closer to the reality so we can see an end to this madness as soon as possible.

I agree with the sentiment, but we have to be very careful not to understate the seriousness of the situation Ukraine is in right now. The reality is they are losing ground every day. I agree it is a strategic choice on their part to exchange territory for Russian casualties at a favourable exchange rate but the offensive Russia has been focusing on is grinding forward steadily.

Let’s hope the Russian offensive culminates soon, but it seems Ukraine may still suffer some significant territorial losses before then.

The good news is Ukraine has clearly shown they have some serious offensive chops this time around so hopefully they can continue causing dilemmas for Russia in Kursk and are primed to do as much damage as possible to Russia’s offensive efforts at the right time.

Downing Street believed to support weapons’ use but will not say so publicly amid disagreements with US

I thought this had been the situation for a while. Didn’t they publicly back this very briefly before quickly walking it back?

I really hope this changes and Ukraine gets full approval to do what they need to defend themselves but the headline seems misleadingly optimistic.

Someone please jump in to tell me I’m mistaken about this though because I would absolutely love to be.

Great news. The more locally produced arms that can be used without restrictions the better.

Hi, we’ve been trying to contact you about your oil depots extended smoke plume

I know I shouldn’t be surprised by this from the country that bombed a children’s hospital but somehow I am. What the actual fuck is this? Sounds like a living nightmare.

Really helpful map, thanks for creating and/or sharing.

Looks like things are going pretty well. Very much interested to see what happens in that south west pocket north of the border over the next week given the preparations that seem to have been happening.

Thanks so much for the explanation. As they say, when a measure becomes a target it stops being a good measure.

Relevant XKCD for good measure.

How can these businesses keep running? Storing and distributing documents isn’t exactly the most technically challenging product to build. I’m not in the field though so I’m absolutely certain I’m missing a lot of the nuances here. Can you shed some light on why you think nobody new comes along to our compete these folks?

Yeah that is some crazy skill. Nightmare inducing stuff

Warms my heart to see Russia’s economy literally burn.

I’d rather Russia just packs up and goes home but if economic collapse is a self imposed prerequisite I wish they’d get on with it.

It doesn’t seem like the Ukrainian strikes on oil infrastructure are going to let up any time soon especially given how effective they’ve been.

Yes the Russian side is far more accurate and impressive. I heard they defeated the Kursk incursion several times over already!

The absence of ding ding is deafening.

Good point actually, I’d assumed this was tracking casualties specifically but I’m not totally sure.

Yeah that’s a lot especially considering the huge number of surrenders from Kursk which wouldn’t be part of these numbers.

Do it yesterday
