From Russell Bentley's Telegram channel. Hate to share this one, this is worse than it sounds, Russell's not a doom and gloom guy, he's grounded and not into idle head games and counting blog hits. Seems the world's on an edge of a knife right now.
looks like ukrop nazis will soon attack Donetsk. As I have said since 2015, "As goes Donbass, so goes the world." If Donetsk falls, Russia will fall. Lyudmila and I are staying. I have a pistol and machinegun and we will defend our home till the last breath. We will not be captured.
In n.p. Krasnogorovka is a large concentration of enemy forces. Interestingly, there are a lot of sandy-colored vehicles without the characteristic camouflage inherent in the formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Also, “local residents” recorded more than three hundred servicemen who speak only English and have camouflage uniforms such as “multicam”, that is, presumably representatives of foreign PMCs.
The information is correct.
The enemy is stretching the reserves along the flanks (Kherson, Kharkov) exposing the center (Donetsk).
The main two strikes will presumably be inflicted on the Donetsk direction.
The first strike will be delivered at night in the area of Vuhledar/Red Partizan in order to cut the Mariupol-Donetsk highway and divert resources available in the Donetsk direction to neutralize this breakthrough. It will take place during the day.
On the second day, in order to neutralize the covert command and control (SUV), a second blow will be delivered - right on Donetsk. Most likely, this will happen in the Avdeevka direction, since there is a large transport hub there - the DKAD (the Yasinovataya-Makeevka direction).
Based on the analysis of the Kharkov strategy for the use of units, the commanders of the VFU operations primarily use the tactics of breakthroughs using mechanized
units, which most likely means an attempt to break through in the Yasinovataya-Makeevka direction along asphalt roads and block the Donetsk-Makeevka highway, which will lead to the operational encirclement of Donetsk.
An additional blow will presumably develop in the direction of Pervomaiskoye/Vodyanoye-Peski-Donetsk.
Considering the foregoing, we can conclude that the main direction of the strike of the entire large counteroffensive plan is not Kherson or Kharkov, but Donetsk, the loss of which, both in the media and in the strategic plan, could be a collapse for the entire Special Military Operation.
Good, the Ukraine is being lured into another offensive

Keep 'em coming

Looking at it from here it's starting to look awfully a lot like 1995:
Whatever Ruskies plan on doing (if they plan anything at all) they might start considering getting around doing it
Eastern Kharkov is not full of pro-Russians or Russians although it has a fair number of them.
I'd remind you that this territory did not have an uprising in 2014 or at least not a successful one
Russia can leave and come back a short time later, so long as it offered people evacuation it's no big deal

It's a big lie, they wrote articles on corruption of Serdyukov
Guess where he works now? Rostec with Putin buddy Chemezov
This was a cabal , they did this SMO like a cabal, no questions asked, and they bungled it
What was the point of the military reform? I thought the money spent was good because it was allocated correctly without corruption
But this army cannot stop an ex soviet , NATO trained cannon fodder so called "largest in europe" army
Now we know why a dry dock was finally built after kuznetsov spent a good portion of 15 to 20 years at dock
Now we know why the construction schedule for military projects is a joke
Now we know why there was no counterattack in Kharkov
These clowns sold the USSR, best army ever, for this corrupt shit that could not protect the Russian people in Donbass and in Eastern Ukraine
Alexander Lebed, Lev Rokhlin, and all those generals that spoke in 90s and early 2000s were completely right of the beastiality of Putin and his regime
Zyuganov himself says we should mobilize
But peskov and the statesmen throw it off the table
I'm voting KPRF , ain't it funny how shit work out?
We've been told that fight against corruption was successful against Gaidar , Chubais, Kudrin and Niabiullina
The scum keep running the show , and all patriots ? Dead and gone
As Chernomyrdin said "We wanted the best, but it turned out like always."
Putin has not lost a war yet or been defeated in any geopolitical gamble either other than perhaps the Maidan revolution in 2014; but Yanukovich was not really Moscow's man anyway.
So I suggest you have a little faith in the leadership.

I'm not sure anymore.
He's probably operating under orders
It's pretty laughable how we went from the annihilation of Ukrainian units around Kherson to now a threat against Donetsk with the entire Donetsk People's Militia and various Russian units between them and the city not to mention the city itself.
And in all seriousness, it's pretty obvious that Russia is putting on a show. It has to be a convincing show. But whatever words are uttered or whatever orders the troops have - really can't take away from the fact that Russia proved that it has the capability to stomp a Ukrainian offensive any time it wants, and has plenty of mobile reserves and air-power to deploy if it needed to within a very short amount of time.
