    It won't be a big pocket. Between Lisichansk, SeveroDonetsk and Gorskoe estimated number of deployed troops are btw 15-20k.

    My my that's not the massive amount of forces the experts here claimed,

    Probably because thousands of them have been killed already?

    How many has died remains unclear, you have people giving numbers but there s no way to confirm anything that sat

    The propaganda is quite something else but I must say it is quite clear that RF casualties are quite low at this point and the Ukrs are the one's in the grinding machine. It's a massacre but if you believe otherwise you are delusional.

    How many have died is uncertain only to you, and the other folks that speak no Russian.
    You are teased with bullshit 24/7.
    Russian net is literally FULL of death Ukrs.
    Not dozens or hundreds, but thousands.
    There are drone footages where you can count dozens of bodies in just one row.
    Buildings are full of corpses.
    Fields are full of them.
    A fuckin' dead fridge trucks full of corpses that are disposing already.
    Russkies are taking them out of the bushes just for sanitary reasons.
    And burry them all'
    You can watch dozens of films, with dozens of bodies, each week.
    And that is only what was recorded!
    Still, it is not enough, obviously.
    There are some 5-6 mln Ukrs left for slaughter.
    "Ukrainians didn't surrender at Azovstal, they forced the Russians to take them captive!"
    It is a real topic on a page of an Italian newspaper, one of the known ones.
    It is funny only as long as we see no dead lads behind that.

    Edit : just for the records, Mir is not my alter ego Laughing Laughing Laughing lol!

    Claimed big numbers would be if they would close whole Donbas grouping in big pocket. They don't have enough soldiers deployed for that.

    That would be a claimed big pocket with 70-100k in it.

    Sweden sends another 5000 anti-tank AT4 weapons to Ukraine.
    In total Sweden has supported Ukraine with 15.000 AT4s now.
    This time the shipment also includes anti-ship missiles, the Robot 17 (Hellfire missiles).

At the same time, the number of mercenaries in combat units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and National Guard in Donbass has decreased by orders of magnitude.

    The go-to take from Ukraine supporters in the west is that the Ukrainians are fighting to defend their country.

    The irony here is that by fighting like this , they are dissolving the country. If they all surrendered in the first week like they should have , Russia would actually have to deal with a unitary state called Ukraine. And the country would continue to exist in some form.

    The longer this goes on, the less of Ukraine will exist. To the point where it might not exist at all.

    Zelensky confirmed 100 kills and 500 wounded per day. They also surrender in mass, everyday a new video of ukrainian soldiers saying they won't fight anymore because they are left alone with no support and their bosses just leave the front.

    Zelensky and its MoD are for sure not even aware of half of what's going on on the front.

    Ukrainian losses are huge. Russians are on the defensive on all the front and it's the ukrainian who attack with a total disadvantage.

    There should be very few remaining profesionnal soldiers.

    I’ve noticed in a few videos from this conflict that the Ukraine appears to have a heck of amount of asbestos roofing on sheds and homes etc. Consequently with ordnance damage coupled with mechanised units throwing up dust etc, what protection or advice is being provided to servicemen in the field? Would be and awful shame for some of these young men to develop chronic lung disease from the inhalation from such contaminated dust in 20 years time.

    Other than, for example, my country (the Netherlands) asbestos roofplates are still wide spread and when not in use used a walls for a chicken coop or something else. During my Bosnia time the farmer next to our FOB was cutting/sawing asbestos plates without protection. We attended him about the dangers of pulverised asbestos but he just laughed it off and told us not to worry, it was just a little and not that dangerous according to him. Netherlands and Germany have different asbestos rules. We were not allowed to go in Altmark on the terrain of the old Russian barracks due to asbestos but the Germans used the barracks for house clearing training. Now they use the big new training village BTW.

    Maybe it is that people in other parts of the world have bigger problems to worry than the incidental exposure to asbestos. Maybe it is dangerous when you work every day with it like in the old days with asbestos car brakes which were cleaned by compressed air without protection.

    And they admit it Shocked Shocked Shocked

    US Engaged In "Offensive" Cyber Ops Against Russia In Ukraine: NSA Director
    Thursday, Jun 02, 2022 - 01:50 PM

    The US military has issued a stunning but perhaps not entirely unexpected admission that it has been conducting offensive cyber operations in support of Ukraine. It marks the first ever such acknowledgement, and suggests - as many observers have long suspected - a deeper Pentagon and US intelligence role in Ukraine against the Russian military than previously thought.

    National Security Agency (NSA) and US Cyber Command Director Gen. Paul Nakasone told the UK's Sky News on Wednesday, "We’ve conducted a series of operations across the full spectrum: offensive, defensive, [and] information operations." This includes "offensive hacking operations" he said.

    Without offering specific details, he continued, "My job is to provide a series of options to the secretary of Defense and the president, and so that’s what I do." Importantly, Gen. Nakasone gave the interview from allied Baltic country Estonia, from which other supporting operations including weapons transfers for Ukraine have come.

    He spoke of major attempts of the Russians to launch infrastructurally devastating cyberattacks on Ukraine, saying, "And we've seen this with regards to the attack on their satellite systems, wiper attacks that have been ongoing, disruptive attacks against their government processes."

    "This is kind of the piece that I think sometimes is missed by the public. It isn't like they haven't been very busy, they have been incredibly busy. And I think, you know, their resilience is perhaps the story that is most intriguing to all of us," he said, describing the Ukrainian response.

    As for support the US has given Ukraine in the lead-up to the Russian invasion, the NSA director referenced the following:

    Nakasone previously said his agency deployed a “hunt forward” team in December to help Ukraine shore up its cyber defenses and networks against active threats. But his latest remarks appear to be the first time that a U.S. official said publicly that the U.S. has been involved in offensive cyber operations in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

    And like any powerful deep state insider of the intelligence community, he referenced alleged Kremlin attempts to influence US elections. "We had an opportunity to start talking about what particularly the Russians were trying to do in our midterm elections. We saw it again in 2020, as we talked about what the Russians and Iranians were going to do, but this was on a smaller scale."

    "The ability for us to share that information, being able to ensure it's accurate and it's timely and it's actionable on a broader scale has been very, very powerful in this crisis," he added in the interview.

    Despite the whole Russian military and intelligence machine being currently entrenched and busy executing the over 3-month war in Ukraine, the American public is further being told Moscow is now eyeing 'interference' in the upcoming midterms next Fall.

    According to The Hill: "Experts have warned that Russia will likely deploy its cyber operations in the 2022 midterm elections, which may take different forms, including disinformation campaigns and election hacking. The experts also said that Russia’s playbook is to divide the U.S. along party lines and suppress voter turnout." However, it's laughable to think that somehow it takes a foreign actor to "divide" the US "along party lines" - as if this is some new phenomenon.

    4 Kalibr missiles? RuAF -really- wanted that thing gone, it seems.

    It was one of two rail lines into Nikolayev available to AFU.

    (Rail lines schematically shown, also some lines across the front omitted.)

    Poland is ready to transfer to Ukraine almost all of its available 155-mm Krab self-propelled howitzers. So, 18 self-propelled guns have already been shipped, and now a decision has been made to send another 54 howitzers from the Polish Armed Forces.

    US Engaged In "Offensive" Cyber Ops Against Russia In Ukraine: NSA Director
    The reason they're admitting to this is most likely because they plan to attack their own country's cyber-infrastructure during the mid term elections in the US and falsely pin the blame on "Russian Hacking" like they did during the 2016 and 2020 Presidential elections, they're not known for their creativity after all.

    Railbridge destroyed in Trikhaty, north of Nikolayev.

    4 Kalibr missiles? RuAF -really- wanted that thing gone, it seems.

    It was one of two rail lines into Nikolayev available to AFU.

    (Rail lines schematically shown, also some lines across the front omitted.)

    This is 100% of Poland's Krabs. Ukraine is going to get so much artillery that they will run out of gun crews.

    The biggest supplier of weapons to the Russian forced in the region is NATO.
