It is believed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have successfully broken through the Russian defensive line of dragon teeth near Bakhmut.
This victory, combined with the replacement of experienced Wagner forces with quasi-incompetent Russian forces in the region, could potentially lead to a wider offensive in the Donbas.

RUSSIAN DESPAIR!
Communicating with a few Russian friends, I asked them about their salary.
They state the middle class is disappearing and all that is left is the wealthy Putin oligarchs and the poor.
The average Russian has a salary between $200 to $500 USD per month.
After rent and food, they have nothing left.
They save for 30 years to buy their first car.
The next Russian Revolution is PAST DUE!

https://www.politico.eu/article/russia-elections-ukraine-vladimir-putin-are-a-charade/
There is a reason why Ukrainians insist the world refers to russia’s assault against Ukraine in 2022 as a “full-scale” invasion.
russia’s war against #Ukraine did not begin on Feb. 24, 2022, but in 2014, with both the annexation of #Crimea and the invasion of Ukraine’s eastern #Donbas region.
While the kremlin openly boasted of its annexation of the Crimean peninsula, it tried to conceal its involvement in the war in Donbas for years

This is a fratricidal war. #Russia and Ukraine will pay a high price for the bloody insanity of this mentally unstable secret-police agent. Young men will die on both sides.

- Moscow's patriarchy gave its blessing to Putin’s invasion and claimed that Russian soldiers will be cleansed of sin.
- The date change is part of a national process of dismantling the symbols of Russia, the Soviet Union and communism.

He has a lot to answer for in how the #Ukraine war started in 2014 - a former officer (likely of #GRU background) occupied #Sloviansk in the #Donbas with a couple of dozen men and started the armed conflict, with #Russia 's covert then overt support
And mainly he was behind the shooting down of #MH17 - convicted by a Durch court
Militia units commanded by russia named in #Izium abuse investigation
4 units from #Donbas ‘people’s republics’ allegedly abused civilians in Ukrainian city where mass grave was found
In April 2022 russian forces seized Izium, after a month-long battle. Six months later Ukrainian troops liberated the city. They discovered a mass grave, containing 447 bodies including the remains of 22 Ukrainian soldiers, as well as several torture chambers.

Vor neun Jahren schoss Russland das Passagierflugzeug #MH17 ab und ermordete alle 298 Menschen an Bord. Die Ermittlungen deckten eine direkte Befehlskette von Moskau in den #Donbas auf, wo russländische Agenten sich als "Separatisten" ausgaben und den Krieg im #Donbas begannen. Sie zeigten außerdem, dass Waffensysteme im Donbas direkt von russländischen Militärbasen stammten – noch bevor Russlands Streitkräfte im August 2014 offen die Grenze überquerten.
Nine years ago, Russia shot down #MH17 killing all 298 passengers and crew aboard. The investigation revealed a direct chain of command from Moscow to their assets posing as "separatists" responsible for the war in #Donbas. It also proved their supply with weaponry directly from Russian military bases even before Russian forces openly crossed the border in August 2014. #Ukraine

Nun behauptet auch ein Ex-Mitarbeiter von RIA-FAN, einer Nachrichtenseite aus #Prigoschins #Patriot-#Trollfabrik, die Videos mit den "Opfern" seien gestellt, die angeblichen Opfer nur bezahlte Darsteller, die auswendig gelernte Texte aufsagten und dabei „eine Träne verdückten“.

www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001lplt via @bbciplayer
I think that both Kremlin and ruzzian society during this invasion are going through five stages of grief - anger, denial, depression.
Anger phase started after their retreat from Kyiv. In this stage they leveled to the ground #Donbas (Mariupol, Popasna, Sievierodonetsk, Volnovakha and many others cities in region are in ruins), blew up #NordStream and started mobilization.
After failure, both military and diplomatic, russians moved to denial stage. In which they tried to destroy energy infrastructure of Ukraine with missiles and Iranian drones, and to capture #Bakhmut in meat attacks.
As for now, if consider #Girkin and #Prigozhin statements, and the behavior of the ruzzian horde in general, they moved into defense/depression stage. It looks like they gonna be depressed until West supplies Ukraine with fighter jets, or until russia runs out of money (which could happen faster if Western oil companies stops maintaining russian colonial oilfeilds)
After the final collapse of russian colonial expedition, the bargaining stage will start. There will be no acceptance stage (like never ever), russians will forget this invasion as they forgot unlucky (for them) WW1 or their failed colonial expedition to Afghanistan. But they will continue to celebrate their Victory over Germans, as they did yesterday 🙂 Still, acceptance stage is possible as a result of #decolonization of russian empire

Smoking 🚬 #SovietZombies 🧟♂️ need to get back to the #Donbas , where #Russian ammunition dumps need blowing up! 💥
Here's an interesting story. Tropical fish enthusiast and former US naval officer #SarahBils blows a fuse and pretends to be a #Russian citizen fightning for freedom in #Donbas under the nickname #DonbassDevushka.
Also she was gathering money for the cause - or herself - while being on active duty and while having a US security clearance. And yes, there's also a link to the Pentagon leak.
Mind boggling stuff.
As a result, #Moscow is free to plan a large scale offensive using its 300,000-strong reserve force called up last year, at a time and place of its own choosing, to finally push #Ukraine out of the #Donbas #Donbass republics. The #fascists in #Kiev won't be in any position to resist such an offensive when it comes. The loss of life will be catastrophic. The #neocons in D.C. won't care. #MarkHamill won't care. They'll care only that the #West will have lost the war it started against #Russia

Map of the Crimean Khanate at 4 points in time, shown as a superposition of borders layed above each other for comparison.
The area of this former country is split between Ukraine and Russia on the modern Google Maps basemap (kinda topical as well in that way, at the moment...).
As always the image itself has information embedded. This was a rework of an older map I had around for which I also lost part of the sources by the time I had started reworking it.

HELL ON EARTH!
Russia is using banned phosphorus bombs to destroy entire Ukrainian cities and its inhabitants.
