    I'd say it's time for Slavyansk w/o any more distractions

    First the defensive positions and smaller settlements as well as roads that supply the cities should be blocked or placed under fire control

    That was the idea behind popasnaya, Rubizhne, and Izyum,

    It wasn't just because Russia wanted some small victories for Putin as the imbeciles of west write

    It was in order to choke the agglomeration of VSU and starve them of supplies and material while subjecting them to intense ordinance

    Same will apply to Slavyansk, first cut off Barvenkovo to the west,

    My guess is we will see a Russia push into Dnipropetrovsk to make way to the west and rear of Slavyansk

    From Izyum forces will drive west

    Seizing the roads leading to Slavyansk from the west and from the south will be of utmost importance

    Once Slavyansk and Kramatorsk are starved and isolated, storm them

    Then in Avdeyevka similarly, near Ugledar, cutoff supplies and roads

    And then rocket and bomb the defensive positions before storming

    With firepower and material superiority , Russia can repeat this process until Donbass is cleansed

    But taking Donbass will require as in Lughansk attacks farther west in neighboring regions

    So Russia will expand the foothold in Kharkov region, and Dnipropetrovsk region

    To make way to the rear of Hohol defenses and not storm them head on/directly

    -------

    Once lisichansk falls, they will move 20 BTG towards Kharkov and Izyum, and mass an attack there

    They will leave the positions before Bakhmut with around 7 BTG as Kharkov is now,

    Since the importance of maintaining the pressure in the Lughansk area is not that high anymore

    Now 20 BTG should push west and south of Slavyansk creating a boiler similar to Severodonetsk

    And leaving a corridor to Avedyevka for Kramatorsk hohols to retreat to, but blocking off their escape west

    The red estuary, krasny liman , similarly will be the sight of massing of Russian forces

    This is what I believe will happen

    Repositioning of the mass of Russian battalions in Lughansk to the north sector

    And attacks west towards barvenkovo, and further into Kharkov and Dnipro directions

    For a 20 km stretch Russia is deploying 9 Battalion Tactical Group (BTG). Classic example - Belogorovka.

    8 BTGr. + 1 BTGr to attack and at least one in reserve, what if the front fails somewhere. That is, a minimum of 10 BTG only to complete the ring, assuming the resistance is weak. Of course these BTGs are backed up by LNR and DNR troops. A lot of artillery shelling on stationary positions makes a massive assault unnecessary. Russia can attack in small groups

    The shortage of units is affecting Russia's defensive strategy. For example BMPs, AFVs are not safe from heavy machine gun fire or ATGMs. As opposed to offense, defending in small group,  isn't working.

    That much is clear, but again, holding onto symbolic positions near Kharkov is not the mission as of now

    It is to clear the VSU defensive agglomeration In Northern donetsk, of slavyansk, and Kramatorsk

    To get to the rear of the avdeyevka fortified area

    Once those areas are clear

    The BTGs can be dispersed and used liberally

    Ukrainians defenses after Donetsk are scattered and thinned out

    Keeping 20 BTG near Lisichansk and Zolotoye and Severodonetsk made sense ,

    But now that this group is gone, you don't need so many BTG for Bakhmut or Seversk

    The chechens and militias can take those areas with fire support

    The mass of BTG is needed west of Izyum to expand the foothold in the southern Kharkov region and Southern Dnipro

    A corridor for the last grouping of VSU in donetsk should be created , as in Lisichansk, where they can exit but only under full scale bombardment

    I share the previous question, once eastern Ukraine is under complete Russian rule, what will be next? reinforce positions and plan a full invasion?

    Russian special military operation in Ukraine #19 - Page 22 Screen80

    Here the map shows clearly , the heavy fire missions are occurring precisely in Barvenkovo

    A major offensive to take this settlement will be launched, as in Rubizhne, to the south west of Izyum and Dolina

    Then other operations taking smaller settlements south of Barvenkovo to cutoff exit of Slavyansk defenders , such as Velikaya Kamyshevakha

    Obviously this will take place as the Lisichansk operation finishes

    Bakhmut and Seversk will collapse as they will lose the depth that lisichansk provided them

    The belogorovka area is important, but barvenkovo and Great Kamyshevakha is even greater to cutoff

    First donetsk must fall

    Then after this everything will happen quickly

    It will be necessary to face provocations from NATO

    But after the fall of Donetsk, the rest of Ukraine will be taken very quickly

    Potentially at this point we will face the prospect of a fight with Poland ,

    So units in Belarus should be prepared to enter Lvov

    But again, this scenario will be triggered after the fall of Donetsk

    Russia will push into Dnipro, Kharkov, and Nikolayev, even Odessa

    And with this NATO will face a choice, to enter and assist Poland in capturing Halychyna (Galicia)

    And face Russia

    Then bets are off, Russia will expand the fighting to Suwalki and 1st GTA new objective could be to demilitarize everything to the Vistula River

    But we are still far from this scenario, but we are assured NATO has something in works

    Hohols are now becoming more creative with their fake stories. Recently Ukronazi propagandist tried to use a picture of American porn star and model Billy Herrington, as a “Russian casualty” in Donbass. Not only they claimed he is a casualty, but they also made a whole story about how he was killed while trying to save a tank crewman after his tank was destroyed.

    Easy there tiger. Step by step. Kharkov will not be easy target unless Ukrainians decide to retreat. Which doesn't look like the case atm. Also Zaporozhye and, more importantly, Dnepropetrovsk will be even harder. Dnepropetrovsk is run by Kolomoisky and his clan and they will fight tooth and nail to prevent it.

    Problem is that in main pro-Russian cities in Ukraine, such as Kharkov and Odessa, many suporters of Russia were killed or purged in other ways. Many pro-Russian people moved out from Kharkov ( I've seen numbers upward of 50k since 2014). Problem of Kharkov per se, is that Ukrainian gov is aware of that and they invested a lot of money to support building up Kharkov as a stronghold of nationalists, akin to Mariopol. It didn't help that Biletsky is from there and he recruited a lot of scum. This is why Marchenko, ex head of Aidar batallion, was appointed as a head of Odessa oblast after the war started. Mayor of Odessa, Trukhanov, remains primary candidate to switch sides. Taking every big city by force will take much longer time and will carry huge loss in lives and property.

    LGBTQ rally in Warsaw in support of Nazi AZOV battalion. At first I was little bit surprised to see this. What with these Neo-Nazi loving liberal brainless zombies? Maybe it's because AZOVs are notorious for being sexual perverts & practice degeneracy just like them. These same folks will quick to call you a nazi if you don't call them by their pronouns.

    The population centers won't be the main targets, at least not yet

    The Russian army will move to all the areas that are loosely defended

    So when I say Kharkov, I don't mean the city, I mean the region itself

    So all the small settlements and swathes of land will be important to take before storming Kharkov

    The same approach to Donetsk

    And all major population centers

    Rybar has a POW update. Over 15,000 now, with more coming in. The discrepancy with some of the "official" Russian figures that seem too low is because Russia counts the POWs in their hands and in the LDPR's hands separately.

    Those areas will be the last to be taken

    For example, if you look at Lughansk, Severodonetsk and Lisichansk were the last population centers to fall

    The settlements and roads were first

    So in Kharkov, the same, small settlements and roads will be blocked and taken, and the storm will come after

    Zelensky issued a directive June 25th, that all reserves from Nikolayev, Odessa, and Kharkov be transferred to the Lisichansk fortified area

    This is desperation

    Because the gate to central Ukraine is coming unhinged from the portal

    When Slavyansk and Kramatorsk fall, the entire central Ukraine will be open for the taking

    You will see regions fall very quickly , as opposed to the methodical grinding we have become used to seeing

    Why?

    Because noone will be left to defend these areas

    NATO and Ukraine placed their bet in holding LDNR until the winter

    Noone could imagine the demilitarization process would be so fast

    Why are you surprised if you know that the Ukrainian neo-Nazis are homosexuals and liberals financed by international Zionism. Ukrainian neo-Nazis want to live like Western Europe. It's that friend. They want to be gay and hip like their German friends.

    I tell you: in Buenos Aires there was a demonstration of Ukrainians against Russia. All young liberals who take advantage of the fact that this country is kidnapped. Of course, I passed with my car doing the Z. The sons of bitches couldn't believe it.

    I will tell you why.

    Warsaw is a major center of the ruling German-Ukrainian mafia.


    Lots of people on the photographs are in reality Germans and Ukrainians living in Poland.
