I still believe that by pushing through Novomikhailovka and south of Maryinka, the Ugledar position can be exploited and cracked earlier, however, Yansen’s explanation is crystal clear and accurate.

Each of the Ukrainian strongholds protects the flank of the next. Attempting to encircle Kransogorovka (with uninterrupted supply lines west and north) without first taking Avdeevka exposes the attacking force to a flanking threat from the north (and from the side of Maryinka).

Similarly, trying to take Maryinka on its own is exceedingly difficult—as demonstrated by the Ukrainians hanging on to some ruins of its empty husks for months, because Kransogorovka bolsters the town’s flank.

Likewise, Maryinka protects and supports the Ukrainian chain down the road, through Konstantinovka and Vodyanoye, and this is the road that leads to Ugledar from the northeast.

As dominoes fall, the progress should get easier and easier. Avdeevka is the linchpin of Ukrainian defensive chains to the north and to the south. Ugledar serves the same purpose on the south Donetsk front.

When they talk about a possible "next [Khokhol] offensive”, it should be understood that the Ukrainians have one source of weapons: American weapons and equipment storage depots.

There are no more stocks in Europe—[to equip the Ukrainians] the Western European armies would have to be robbed of their front line equipment. And they would need a lot of even just the heavy equipment: 800 to 1,000 tanks, no fewer artillery guns of 152/155 mm calibre, a corresponding set of engineering vehicles, and, of course, ammunition—at least a million, and, preferably, 1.5 million shells, to ensure sufficiently massed artillery fire for a long enough time.

And even if all this is accomplished, there are no guarantees the other requirements can be met: all this equipment would have to be manned with new units, they would need to be staffed and trained, and, in comparison to last year, the Khokhols’ ability to staff new units has dropped significantly, and there are very few opportunities to bring the existing ones to the rear for additional staffing and training. If this process starts now, theoretically trained units could be ready by the summer. But it is impossible to accumulate the necessary package of weapons and especially ammunition for them in that time.

So, what’s the conclusion? The conclusion is simple: talk of a "new offensive" will continue until the United States comes up with an answer to the political question of what to do with Ukraine. With elections looming, it will be difficult to answer this question without damaging their reputation.

This dismal outlook can—and they will probably try to—be brightened up with new aircraft and missile armament. A couple of dozen of F-16s with JAASM missiles will be used to periodically organise diversionary sorties in groups of 1-2-3, with launches o missiles at important objects, utilizing the [radar] "windows" not covered by the AWACS planes. There will probably be more ATACMS strikes. But, in general, on the grander scale, all this will resemble V-1 and German fighter-bombers raids on Britain in 1944—their scale was entirely insufficient to change anything, but they sustained the morale of the Reich population. In addition to the Ukroreich, the entire "free world" will be the addressees here, so we should be prepared that every successful hit by ATACMS, Storm, or JASSM will be discussed at length in the West and in Kiev in search of evidence of Putin's imminent "defeat".

The most careful attention will have to be paid to air defence supplies. The gradual increase in the number of NASAMS, IRIS and other products, coupled with the adaptation of BUK systems for old American missiles, will allow the Khokhols to form air defence zones in the most critical areas, and we should seriously prepare means to crack them.

Washington Post excerpt:

But instead of celebrating the fighters’ bravery and service, the award ceremony turned into a bloodbath. A Russian missile strike killed at least 19 soldiers in attendance, including several high-ranking officers and some of the brigade’s best warriors. Many had removed their helmets for the proceedings and suffered head injuries. Dozens of others were wounded.

The attack on the 128th Brigade has unleashed a wave of public criticism on social media unusual for Ukraine — a society that instinctively plays down battlefield losses out of patriotism and fear of providing fuel to Russia’s propaganda machine.

Indeed, initially there was no public announcement of the deadly incident, which occurred in the village of Zarichne, about 20 miles from the front line.

🇺🇸🇨🇳🇷🇺🇺🇦The U.S. Treasury Department confirmed that the West is putting pressure on China

This is done so that China does not financially support Russia in conducting the SMO, said Deputy Head of the American Department Wally Adeyemo.

Western countries are putting pressure on China to ensure that it does not provide material support to Russia in conducting a special military operation in Ukraine. This was confirmed by U.S. Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo.

"We make it clear how important it is for us, not only for the United States, but also for our allies and partners, representing 50% of the world economy, so that China does not provide material support to Russia in its war with Ukraine. Part of our dialogue [with Beijing] will include these issues. In our opinion, conducting such a direct dialogue means that they (Chinese authorities) understand us, we understand them," said the Deputy Minister, speaking on Thursday at a conference organized by the Reuters news agency.

"It also gives us the opportunity to talk about the areas in which we <...> compete [to each other], including the economy," Adeyemo added.

На этот раз сэсэо усраины уже в открытую выступает против неадекватных действий зелебобика.
А все началось с того, что еврейский дурачок убрал какого-то сэсэошного командира, которому все боевики конкретно нализывали выказывали уважение.🐷
Так или иначе, несите поп-корн с колой, так как, скорее всего, это только начало.

For 35 days, the Israeli occupation army has continued its war on Gaza, during which it “destroyed residential neighborhoods along with their residents,” resulting in 10,812 martyrs, including 4,412 children and 2,918 women, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza. .
