Here’s what others had to say:
@milen8182
Russians are using elastic defence, they don’t defend one point to the death, there are many interviews with ukraine soldiers where they say they never saw even 1 russian even if they attack or defend. If russians see a big offensive they retreat completely and let the air force, drone teams to hit that area. At the moment looks like ukrainians are just walking into a self-made cauldron while on the weaker points of the front russians are advancing and make more cauldrons. Counter offensive makes sense only if you can push the russians on most points, which ukrainians are not doing, they don’t have the front troops to do that. Same logic as Kursk or Sudzha offensive, they penetrated to some point and got bogged down and surrounded and had to retreat or got destroyed. Probably same will happen in the Lyman offensive.
@ghetinknotabush8602
At some point Poland reveals itself a western vassal stste (as if not already) or the Poles speak louder. The new Russian Federation is not communist. The Russian Federation is not attacking or planning to attack fellow Slavs. The RF is attending a civil matter thr west started.
@jamestakayesu8927
Ukrainian Counteroffensives will inevitably Result in the Acceleration of the Attrition of their Dwindling Manpower! Land can be Regained but Death lasts An Eternity!
@josephvanwie6706
Lyman is still under Russian control but Dima gives the Nazis the entire region from one video.
@manuel21nq
Dima, russian reliable reports are showimg a comolete different map, they talk about the front line in korovii yar, that is the current line of combat.

MIC – Move Into Crisis
First, the MIC – the primary political sponsor of successive Washington administrations. Then a long gap, a few crumbs for the American taxpayer, and finally the deindustrialization of the Eurozone and a demographic catastrophe in Ukraine. The EU invested in American scrap and constant energy price hikes, while the Ukrainians invested in the systemic expansion of cemetery infrastructure.
@TreeDweller
The NASA fire anomaly maps are being manipulated. I called it when Yemen started doing their thing. They have limited the satellite imagery so this was next and right on cue the maps owned by the US government NASA are being manipulated hard.
@77Tadeusz
Polish Abrams tanks, F-16s, planned F-35 procurements, and the rest of the Polish “national security” toolkit will not drive, fly, or fire anywhere in a clash meant to secure the actual needs of Poles. The Americans do not sell weapons to Warsaw so that the Polish government can decide where, when, and how to use them—that is not the point of draining a vassal’s pockets. If Poland is pushed into war, it will be a conflict serving strictly the limited interests of Washington, exactly as is currently happening in a devastated Ukraine.
@wherewewent
Russia should strike all of the energy infra in Ukraine. The clawn Z is dancing for the NATO. Ukraine should be brought to level ground. Love from india.
@prestonyoung3807
That counteroffensive in Zherebets will fizzle out like every other counteroffensive they tried.
@TreeDweller
Keep playing around Ukraine- Hulk will smash!!! I would look to the skies if I lived there not for a savior but for an incoming storm of Hellfire with the possibility of brimstone.
@ewalker1057
Others are reporting what I saw in the Lyman area. That is the AFU and its mercenaries fighting their way into a cauldron. Seems as if they may be trapped. Not the first time the AFU was lulled into an encirclement.
