Artymovsk ( Russian name for Bakmut) is toast. Another Marioupol repeat X 100. Excellent maps and pictures of the area.

Both Russian and Ukie MOD maps show at least 10 Ukie Battalions in severe entrapment.

Another city pummeled flat and seized at the cost of thousands of lives. Just like Mariupol.

Enjoy your rubble, Vlad.

Here is a reasonably up-to-date and accurate status report:

I saw another short report (I’m not posting a link because I question its reliability … but we’ll see in several days its veracity) where a local Bakhmut Ukrainian military commander was reporting that their “exit door” is now closed.

China is now insisting along with Russia for a UN investigation into who took out the Nordstream pipeline. Gonna be interesting to see how the neocons try and spin this.

Any article that refers to “denazifying” terrain is pure crap.

I regularly read and listen to a lot of sources slanted from both sides. And that includes the channel to which you linked (and I’ve always smiled at his Bela Lugosi like Dracula accent). Somewhere within them all lies the truth.

I suspect Delta7 is a Russian bot. Just look at recent posts he has done.

“Both Russian and Ukie MOD maps show at least 10 Ukie Battalions in severe entrapment.”

There was video of two squatting Ukrainian POWs asking for a last cigarette. The Russian said something to the effect: “What the hell are you talking about, we’re going to take you to a camp, behind the lines.”

We've certainly heard various parties claim that Russia wanted to overrun Kiev, or Kyiv, or Keeeve or whatever we're supposed to be calling it now, but to the best of my awareness, Russia has never claimed to want to occupy that city, or the surrounding territory for that matter.

What Putin himself has said is this: "People living in Luhansk and Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhia are becoming our citizens. Forever." And that is exactly what is happening on the ground.

Are all wars decided in a week? Most wars take several years to determine the outcome. The Thirty Years War took...thirty years.

“ Wow...that is pretty one sided…”
********************************

Yes, it does have a pro-Russian slant but Dima is among the most accurate reporters. He does not sugarcoat things when the Russians have screwed up or are proceeding to do something stupid. And he readily acknowledges when the Ukrainians have made a good move or are doing something smart.

I’ve been trying to follow the evolving military tactical and strategic situation on the ground and, for that purpose, listening/reading from both sides is essential. I skip the pure propaganda and cheerleading sites (on both sides) as they are definitely not helpful and are actually counterproductive if you let their BS get in your head.
