The situation in Mariupol, which is critical for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, cannot last long - even Ukrainian sources predict that the current situation will continue for another 2-5 days.

According to them, the Azov regiment cannot cope with the pressure and offensive of the DNR troops and has been asking for help from the leadership since the beginning of this week - they are demanding a counter-offensive.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine promises help, assuring the nationalists of the plan to release the blockade, but immediately notes that it will be difficult to really do anything about it.

Based on the fact that Mariupol is completely surrounded by DNR troops, no counter-offensive is expected from outside. And taking into account the fact that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have no reserves, despite the reassuring messages from the leadership,Azov cannot wait for help

Therefore, in the coming days,the situation will develop something like this: as soon as Mariupol is taken over by the forces of the Russarmy and the DNR,which are now working on a slow strategy to minimize losses among civilians,the entire eastern front RF to Kiev,Kharkov is at risk

Documented Russian tank losses still increasing constantly, now at 191. Data from @oryxspioenkop

I think you can safely ignore this stuff

Yes its probably much higher.

Doubt it. The intensity of warfare has subsided since the first week, and now battles are focused on various key towns and road hubs

They were talking about hundreds of Russian tanks destroyed a week ago

Now they're trying to switch to more 'believable' figures

But it's all nonsense. How you can possibly count loses based on photos, for an advancing army I don't know.

The Ukraine numbers of lost Russian tanks is actually alot higher, so this number is very low if anything.

And no you cant only rely on pictures and videos, but if you would I seen probably over 50 Russian tanks so far.

The Russian official destroyed Ukraine tanks and fighting vehicles is about 1,200. Should we belive that?

Suicide mission for the ATGM team.

Would make more sense if they just carry the warheads to the tanks.
