Thank you to those in our chat who posted this. Of course we are waiting on further confirmation, but the situation appears fluid at this time:

It is reported that the eastern part of Kupyansk is NOT controlled by Ukrainian troops. It seems like the saboteur-reconnaissance groups entered, but they were knocked out by our troops. If so, then good.

According to reporter Kotenok:

“A number of sources refute the abandonment of the Russian Armed Forces of part of Kupyansk on the left bank of the Oskol. It is noted that there are clashes with enemy DRGs.

In any case, this part of the city finds itself in a "gray zone", like Svyatogorsk, as Boris Rozhin points out.

But the situation is complicated, because The initiative is on the side of the enemy attacking our positions in the Kupyansk area. In this direction, the enemy seeks to realize superiority in manpower, trying to advance and gain a foothold on new frontiers.”

so - as always - let's wait and see - and don't throw away your nerves.
I observed so many conflicts the last 30 years - I saw back and forth - ping pong battles for weeks - stay cool and calm - observe - and report.
And stop dooming around like headless chickens.

The enemy storms the positions of the 4th LNR brigade, let's see what they've got together😈

Russian army not withdrawn from Kupyansk - fighting for city continues

During the attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Kupyansk, the Ukrainian militants managed to enter the eastern part of the town, but the enemy was unable to gain a foothold in the territory as it was driven out by the Russian army - the abandonment of the town by our fighters is out of the question.

According to reports, our troops continue to battle with enemy saboteur-reconnaissance groups, and there is no confirmation from either side that anyone is in control of the eastern part of Kupiansk.

For those that are constantly asking, "Where is the Russian Air force??? Why is Ukraine not completely under the control of the Russian Air Force?" This video, albeit from a pro-NATO, pro-Ukrainian source, lays out much of the hard facts on the ground. Here he makes a comparison between the Russian SMO and the first Gulf War. Bullet points:

-Ukraine is 50 percent larger with twice the population of Iraq in 91.

-Ukraine has more anti-aircraft weaponry.

-The number of aircraft the USA committed to the first Gulf War was staggering, and even they would have struggled to achieve Air superiority against a nation with double the population, etc.

-Russia has far fewer aircraft at its disposal.

Ultimately, there's a reason why the USA spends 10× as much on its military. Russia has a powerful Air force, and it is powerful, but the task of achieving Air superiority over a country as large and as well defended as Ukraine would have taxed the US Air force to its breaking point. Ultimately, this will be a hard fought ground war.

People seem to have this idea that nations have large arsenals at their disposal, sitting around waiting for a World War. This simply isn't the case. Almost all peace time military forces are basically just enough to get things started until mobilization can be implemented.

Case in point, 90% of the arms used in WW2 by Germany were produced after the war started. Even with a decade of rearmament, Germany was producing an order of magnitude more weaponry in 1944 than they were in 1939, even while being carpet bombed. Frankly, no country is ready for WW3, not even the USA. It's simply impossible to justify the expense, politically or economically, until a World War is well underway.

Just cold hard reality.

Yesterday another enemy BMP together with its crew went to Bandera.

The video shows the result of the joint work of our border guards and artillerymen - the destruction of AFU equipment approaching the Russian border in the Belgorod direction

Work, brothers!

🇩🇪🇺🇦🇷🇺Scholz began to try on uncharacteristically harsh and belligerent rhetoric.

"I want to say unequivocally that, perhaps, at least looking back, it would be quite right to react more harshly to the annexation of Crimea," the chancellor said.

According to him, in this case, the idea of such an "attack on Ukraine" might not have "captured the thoughts of President Vladimir Putin so much".

❗️Military expert explains why Russian Armed Forces are not striking Kiev

Currently, it is premature to launch strikes on decision-making centers. This opinion was expressed by military expert Vasyl Dandykin to the Idi i Vzglyad channel.

We are hitting the energy sector, and dams. With these attacks, we have shown what we are capable of. I think this is a kind of warning that will affect not only Kiev but also London and Brussels," Dandykin said.

He recalled that the decision to hit the decision-making centers would be made by the leadership based on necessity and military and political expediency.

💬"All in the right time," he added.

Earlier it was reported that the AFU struck the administration in Kherson with HIMARS missiles

An attempt to advance an assault unit of the Navy's 35th Brigade at the Andriyivska outpost near Kherson has collapsed.

It's important to document! The Daily Telegraph reporters were in Izyum just yesterday and confess they saw no evidence of any mass executions. Not only that, the locals told them so: "There were no arrests, executions, torture". Note that even yesterday there were none! Today they have appeared. Just like in Bucha!

Fighters of the "Kuban" detachment fighting for the dead and the living

Uranium, a fighter of the "Kuban" detachment (BARS-16), which now holds Liman from the offensive of the AFU, sends thanks from the front for the humanitarian aid. Among those who sent it Elena Valerievna is the mother of Lieutenant Andrey Aleksandrovich Priseko, who died in the SMO. Despite the terrible grief, Elena found the strength to help soldiers, standing in the ranks, like her son, who is now in the eternal ranks.

The head of the German Defence Ministry, Christine Lambrecht, wonders:
"It will be very interesting to see how big the Russian military reserves really are. I think they are much smaller than we probably thought at first".

So, shall we give the lady an early answer, or is it too early?

By the way, the German woman added that she thinks "Russia is far from defeated and still has different military options".

Zelensky said that he would only support the idea of resuming Russian ammonia exports via Ukraine if Moscow returns Ukrainian prisoners of war.

The statement came in an interview with Reuters in response to the UN, which has proposed resuming Russian ammonia shipments to Ukraine to ease a global fertilizer shortage on the global market.

"I am against ammonia shipments from the Russian Federation through our territory. I would only do it in exchange for our prisoners. That is what I proposed to the UN," the Ukrainian president said.
