I do point out the absurdity of the pro Russian / anti Ukraine operatives here.

Yep... it's an emotional thing with them... in an era lacking heroes, they look to thugs like Putin for an object of worship.

Wagner affiliated channel GREY ZONE reports that the operation to push out insurgent forces in the Bilhorod region is reportedly led by Colonel-General Alexander Lapin.

Lapin was removed as head of Russia’s Central Military District in october 2022 after growing criticism, but in january 2023 reinstated as Chief of the General Staff of the Ground Forces of The Russian Federation.

Reports Putin will withdraw units of the 3rd motorized rifle division of the 20th combined-arms army from the front (Luhansk direction) & redeploy them to the Belgorod region.

That shows the shaping operation is working. And who is going to cover their positions in Luhansk?

More troops will have to be sucked northward, leaving the South even more poorly defended.

Russian officials said everything is going according to the Plan.

Your Putin was pretty stupid for sending all of his reserves to die in Bakhmut and leaving Belgorod, Bryansk and Kursk undefended.

Perhaps they are establishing supply lines.

MANPADs and FPV drones would ba a nice complement.

Russian rebels made a new breakthrough, crossing the border in two new places and taking control of the villages of Gorkivske and Shchetynivka.

“Hit ‘em where they ain’t”.

It forces entrenched units to redeploy or be cutoff.

Mobility warfare doesn’t always require AFVs. Civilian vehicles work just fine.

Hubris, panic, desperation. The dissolution of the Russian Federation is at stake.

Go read the UK Telegraph and report back.
