  1. This is still mostly from February right? ISW has it as mostly unmoving right now.

    I wonder if AFU is thinking of splitting the occupied territory in half.

    Here’s to hoping they encurcke those villages and cut off the main road south of them. I know its not like WWII where 1000s would be cut off but the psychological effect would be tremendous

  4. Given the front line is so long, is there a strategic reason why Ukraine is pushing in this particular zone, or is it simply their probing highlighted a weakness here?

    Be it this time or the next one, Ukraine will end up finding a “soft” spot allowing for a break through. Nice to see them pushing forward !

  6. Sorry, but what kind of wishful thinking is this post? Just some red arrows drawn on top of a map from 2 days ago. (Source here: https://bsky.app/profile/tendar.bsky.social/post/3mhiohh4pks2c) They add no value, besides suggesting some major breakthrough. Which it isn’t.

    The AFU had some small gains and were able to abuse the Russians unorganized front line due to communication issues. This straightened out the frontlines and made the Russians fall back to previously held positions.

    If I see talks like “splitting the occupied territory in half” I need to exhale loudly. Just look at the top left corner and see how tiny the gains were in comparison. We are still talking about, like, 100 km to Berdyansk. The shortest path to the Sea of Azov. And just look at the russian defence structures on the way to it: https://imgur.com/a/uZe0xoO (thanks u/Physical-Cut-2334, I stole the link of yours)

    I think we all wish for more success for the AFU, but this is just a lot of low-quality hopeium.

  7. I haven’t followed the war as much in the last few weeks, and I’m a little surprised (but also obviously thrilled!) to see updates on Ukrainian progress somewhat regularly on my feed.

    They seem to be doing quite well yet all I read is how Orban blocked a major loan and how the US is preoccupied with Venezuela, Iran, and maybe Cuba, how Russia is getting a ton of money from the surge in oil and gas prices. How come with all this bad news the Ukrainians are still making such good and stable progress?

    Is it still a consequence of the ban on telegram and disruption of Starlink or did I miss something big?

    How are Ukrainians breaching minefields? Two years back offensive was failure, as far as I understand, because Russians had such dense minefield there.

    Solid news. Let’s hope this goes well and doesn’t turn into a repeat of the 2023 offensive.

  10. What is the reason? Do the Russians still have communication problems because they lost Starlink (which is kind of ridiculous) or are there other reasons that the situation reversed compared to the last two years?

    But good to hear, I hope the Ukrainians can regain much more of their land.

  11. Im out of the loop here, zelensky said russia is starting a massive offensive, backed by ISW and are making gains i the north east..this is southern Ukraine?
