Lyman 🇺🇦 is close to being fully surrounded by Ukrainian Forces

By my calculations🗺 Lyman is 50%-60% surrounded and if Russian Forces need to leave Lyman they only have 2 reliable exists remaining

Russian Forces lost important land on the Northwest and Southeast sides of Lyman

@T_90_M @GeromanAT Personally I think back in 2014, USA the Obama Administration didn’t care much about Ukraine and didn’t pay much attention to the annexation of Crimea and war in Donbas. For Russia to succeed in taking Ukraine they would need to do it in 2014 when Ukraine did not have a military.

Notable that BARS reserve units appear to be doing much of the fighting in the Drobysheve/Lyman area.

ANTONOVSKY BRIDGE 🧵
/19
Locals report that the barge bridge was disassembled by Russians. One of theories is that it’s due to the fact that a bunch of other barges which Russians used as ferries were destroyed by Ukrainian strikes.

@T_90_M @GeromanAT Even though Ukraine didn’t prepare well for the 2022, they still had a good military compared to what they had in 2014. I knew they would not lose Kyiv. But since the government didn’t prepare at all after being warned for 6 months, Ukraine lost a lot of land without any battles.

@T_90_M @GeromanAT If Ukraine actually prepared for the Invasion and invested more money into weapons and creating tanks. Dug the trenches, mined the bridges, militarized borders. Then they wouldn’t need to be begging NATO to give them stuff now, and wouldn’t have lost 10% of the country in 5 days.

#Ukraine: Today, the Ukrainian 25th Airborne Brigade hit a Russian Su-30SM multirole fighter aircraft, presumably with a MANPADS or other short range AD system, severely damaging one engine.

The fate of the aircraft and crew is unknown.

@RuneLinding @minna_alander One can't approach a aggressive Russia at war, currently mobilizing, just by hoping that if someone replaces Putin, it will end.

There's a good chance whoever comes after Putin actually could be worse, not better, so there's a need to plan and act accordingly.

@JakeCordell:
Fight breaks out in the city of Omsk among men who’ve been drafted and local police forcing them onto buses. Draftees called on the police to come die with them in the trenches.

@Rustkoh @T_90_M @GeromanAT They were only fighting on 1 front from 2014, they didn’t have good defense for any other front.
A year prior to the Invasion,
Military Spending was decreased, Neptune program was delayed, Cruise missile program suspended, ATGM sold to Saudi Arabia, Air defense program suspended.

@Rustkoh @T_90_M @GeromanAT There is corruption in the Ukrainian Government. Putin invaded Ukraine for a number of reasons, Ukraine defunding military, stopping military programs, Russia has a lot of spies in Ukraine, borders were basically open, government is corrupt, and USA/NATO did nothing back in 2014.
