Probably, but why are they there? Capturing part of Russian territory is not part of the plan, or at least, it wasn't supposed to be.

Says who?

Belgorod is a main logistics hub and has been attacked quite often already.

Using Russians to fight there on the ground is the smart choice to further escalate this.

And attacking military infrastructure in Russia is absolutely legitimate for Ukraine.

I'd rather they just kick Russia out around Bakhmut, how long are they just going to "hold"?

At some point they have to push them back, and if Russia is as exhausted as everyone says they are, surely it will happen soon.
 
I hope those guys are not on a suicide mission.... I mean it's not that far to the border and they can watch the road ahead with drones. It's a huge embarrassment for Putin. Instead of celebrating the Bakhmut "win", Russia is being attacked on home soil.
 
I guess they got most of the military gear from ukraine? Would be nice that other groups sprung in other regions in russia, but unlikely not in ukraine border
 
A recon group of 7 Ukrainians have taken 22 POWs from one of the better russian assault units “Storm” in Avdiivka direction.

When counteroffensive begins if Ukrainians can quickly breach the 1st line of defense they will have a free run at it imo. I think they’re just waiting for more AD to arrive as they’ll surely want to move a large chunk of it to the frontlines to counter russian sorties.

:lol:

Can't even begin to imagine what goes through Putin's mind when he sees this. Probably a fresh round of Polonium cocktails for whoever is running security in these regions.
 
Between 1917 and 1918 Belgorod was part of Ukraine, so they have a "historical claim" to that :devil:

Yes, I just don't know if that's at all an actual existing organisation. Maybe @harms some idea.

These have been active since last summer I think. They've claimed lots of attacks on railways/infrastructure within Russia in the past.


The other group "Russian Volunteer Corps" I not sure about.

I simply dont believe that a mother would say its OK I have another. They want to portray themselves as unhuman, pretty remarkable.

I've seen/heard a lot of mothers say this in this region (Middle East) when talking about their sons being sent to war/terrorism acts. Unfortunate but very believable.
 
Are Russia doing a Stalingrad and allowing themselves to be encircled in Bahkmut?

Wagner pulling out for 1/6 to be replaced by formal military has all the signs of a proper opportunity for Ukraine.
 
I don't think it's possible. But I have been wrong multiple times in the past...

We are closer than ever to arresting Putin, but the US must play its part

Gordon Brown

A new grassroots campaign calling for the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, to be tried for war crimes represents an escalation in the demand for justice for the people of Ukraine. Already 2 million have signed a petition calling for Putin’s indictment.

Now, in the run-up to August’s Brics summit (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) to be held in Johannesburg, more than half a million have already called for the South African authorities to put him in prison if he flies in to their country. This public pressure comes as European leaders meeting in Reykjavík have intensified their call for coordinated intergovernmental action to find a way to punish Putin for his crimes.

The Russian leader’s recent indictment by the international criminal court (ICC) for overseeing the abduction of Ukrainian children is the reason why he can now be arrested on the soil of any country that is signed up to its statutes. Russia has since retaliated by issuing an arrest warrant for the British prosecutor of the ICC, Karim Khan, in the growing confrontation between Russia and Ukraine’s western allies. Russia remains adamant that Putin will take part in the Brics summit, but a special government commission established by South Africa’s president, Cyril Ramaphosa, has concluded that Putin’s presence would violate not only international law but also the laws of South Africa, and he is advising Putin not to attend.

Not very likely given that arresting him would probably destablize Russia massively from within since it would start some sort of power struggle - not a good look for a desparate nation with nukes.
