Ukrainian Intelligence reports that due to successful counteroffensive of Ukrainian forces on several fronts, Russian occupiers are looking for a way to escape, calling their wives and asking the Russian Ministry of Defense to get them out of Ukraine.

Quote: "The 237th Guards Airborne Assault Regiment of the Russian Federation no longer exists due to either death or injury of all soldiers. A large part of those who survived are in extremely serious condition."
Details: It is noted that the counteroffensive of the Ukrainian troops forces the occupiers to ask the Red Cross for help and flee on stolen bicycles.
Similarly, Russians from the 202nd Detached Motorized Rifle Regiment, which is deployed in Kharkiv Oblast, left their positions and moved to the nearest forest strip.
The unit has no commanders and communications left. Currently, servicemen of the regiment are calling their relatives, asking to contact the command and find out where they should retreat. Some of them ask their wives to contact the hotlines of the Ministry of Defence of Russia and the Red Cross with the demand to remove them from the territory of Ukraine.
The occupiers tried to resist the Ukrainian counter-offensive in Kharkiv Oblast, attacking the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from tanks and a TOS-1 heavy flamethrower system.
Nevertheless, the Russian detachments suffered serious losses, left their positions and retreated in small groups. The occupiers complain about the powerful offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as well as the lack of ammunition and equipment. Due to the lack of logistics, they are retreating chaotically. Bicycles and scooters seized from the local population are used to leave combat positions. Many of the Russian soldiers are on foot.
On the Dnipropetrovsk front, the Russian army is trying to hold its positions. However, the upset with the new replenishments is growing, most of the "recruits" are 55-60 years old.
In order to maintain their positions in the Kherson Oblast, the occupiers brought reinforcements from the territory of the Russian Federation. However, the recruits flatly refuse to participate in offensive combat operations.
At the same time, Russian-aligned news outlets spread the information that the Ukrainian counter-offensive operation is a fake PR-action.
Kremlin propaganda tries to convince its citizens that all reports of a Ukrainian counter-offensive are a "show performance" for Europe and the civilized world. They claim that all Western-supplied weapons and military equipment were sold to unknown clients.
Zelensky has a draft of all 18-60 year old men. There are tons of videos showing his registration goons pulling 50 year olds out of pools to throw into combat.
This is gonna be war of senior citizens fighting senior citizens.
“On the Dnipropetrovsk front, the Russian army is trying to hold its positions. However, the upset with the new replenishments is growing, most of the “recruits” are 55-60 years old.”
It is a war of logistics. First to run out of men, ammo, food ..... looses.
I don’t trust anything coming from Ukrainian government right now. They supposedly don’t have communications, but are calling their relatives. Seems a lot like propaganda to me.
It’s both sides. There was an article the other day that said the Ukranian counter offensive failed and Ukraine lost 3000 dead and 7000 wounded.
Near the bottom of that article was the astonishing statement that Russian troops were just outside of Kiev maybe 2km with massed mechanized forces while TU-95s were dropping loads of ordinance.
The Russia-Ukraine war, brought to you by depends and ensure!

And they usually go in that direction...

“Logistics is the ball and chain of armored warfare.”
Heinz Guderian
Heinz Wilhelm Guderian (German: (17 June 1888 – 14 May 1954) was a German general during World War II who, after the war, became a successful memoirist. An early pioneer and advocate of the “blitzkrieg” approach, he played a central role in the development of the panzer division concept. In 1936, he became the Inspector of Motorized Troops.

Good riddance.
It’s *all* sides, there are more than two. And they’ve all been lying since before the beginning of this.
I absolutely agree all size are lying, However, Ukraine is known for its corruption so I trust them even less.
