Unconfirmed reports that Ukrainian artillery destroyed an “invincible” Russian terminator and it looks like it burns just as easily as other Russian junk Yes there’s a number of videos on Twitter, looks as though two missiles narrowly miss them a third strikes and boom.

Saw a suggestion that it may have already been damaged as it wasn’t moving but that somewhat irrelevant as it isn’t moving now!

This guy's unit is near Avdiivka, between the two hotspots of Vulhedar and Bakhmut.
He claims they destroyed 37 Russian armoured vehicles in under a month there. The thread has some Video and pics.

I mean seriously like wtf ….The replies put him right through of which it’s Interesting in regards Ukraine and chemical weapons What chemical weapons? I’ve heard nothing about bar on here. One of the Russian propaganda channels I follow was going on about it but they had no evidence. And they've said that loads of times during the war including when Russia shelled some chemical factory. I think it's the usual Russian propaganda. Just spread so much shit and lies in the hope that some westerners will believe one of the lies enough.

Satellite photo of a road ~5 miles south of Vulhedar. Claimed to be the "road of death" Russia's recent attack got obliterated on.

Still no evidence from the people saying Ukraine are using chemical weapons?

Several MSTA-S, the best Russian guns, getting hunted by Ukraine.
So far this month the visually confirmed losses have been ok.
Tanks: Russia 67, Ukraine 8 Mobile artillery: Russia 19, Ukraine 4
8:1 and 5:1 is good enough for Ukraine to win.

I'm less concerned about equipment than I am about the supply of Ukraine soldiers. If the stories are true about 15-year-old boys being conscripted, then things are looking bleak. Should Putin continue sending Russians into the meat grinder, Russia will win because of its much larger population.
If the supply of Ukraine soldiers dries up, NATO will be forced to decide whether to put their boots on the ground, and that's a prospect that should concern everyone. I think if things do not turn decisively in favour of Ukraine soon, then Nato will ramp up access to more powerful weapons.

I saw similar claims but once again it was only from the Russians and their evidence was a video where iirc the camera accidentally showed a bit out of the window and the open source people showed the outside was a city inside Russia.* I still don't think NATO will put any boots on the ground. That's an actual red line that makes sense to me. *I saw this on telegram channels and I can't find the post now. Partly because they're all written in cyrillic and I can't search for that, but I think I'm remembering the right thing here.

I think if things do not turn decisively in favour of Ukraine soon, then Nato will ramp up access to more powerful weapons. Also I'm worried about equipment because I think there's a trade between equipment and lives. Extreme case: if Ukraine had 500 HIMARS with limitless ammo, radars and spotting drones then they could whack every Russian artillery piece after one shot. Artillery is what's killing most Ukrainians, so Ukraine is losing lots of soldiers because the West didn't send enough kit. I see what you mean, but I think it's subtle because if we send a lot of equipment and ammo then it'll help the manpower issues.

It stinks that Ukraine aren’t given long range weapons to attack legitimate targets inside Russia.

My language student told me that 2 weeks ago the army was still turning people away if they didn't have relevant experience. He's fighting age but not called up. A lot of Ukrainians have social media so I think we'd see a lot of info if Ukraine was dragging away 15 year olds.

The meltdown in Russia when Ukraine manages to mass produce these.

I always found it ridiculous that it's fine for Russia to attack Ukraine but the other way round is a total no no. This war is a big advert for keeping/developing nuclear weapons - the background threat of them has stopped Nato from giving Ukraine everything it needed to quickly bring this to a close.

Is this the Dmitry Yakushchenko incident? I haven't seen the footage thankfully but I did read that independent news agencies (Agentstvo/Mediazona) and an independent journalist (David Frenkel) questioned the legitimacy of it. I haven't had the time to look into the details and credibility of the rebuttal though so don't shoot the messenger.......

Interview with Ukrainian artillery colonel. Covers every stage of the war including Bakhmut recently. Mentions the change in Russian tactics terryconroysmagic talked about and says he doesn't know if they can hold Bakhmut through spring, but he doesn't sound panicked at all.

Ukraine captured some shitty old T-62s but instead of using them as tanks, they're converting them to tractor/rescue vehicles.
This seems sensible - the T-62 uses different ammo (and therefore barrels) that I'm pretty sure Ukraine doesn't make. So the gun is kinda useless to them anyway.

Russian Wagner leader says they lost an Su-24 attack jet. Hopefully this is another new one!
EDIT: sad news. He says it was damaged but got back to base.

Seems like the Russians are hunting medical staff on purpose. Apparently the Syrian opposition learned to stop publishing locations of medical centres because instead of avoiding them, Assad and the Russians used those coordinates to attack. Murdering innocent doctors trying to help injured civilians. That's the side that pro-Putin people have picked.

The analysis seems to be that Russia atm just doesn’t have enough massed to make any meaningful breakthroughs. They’ve been pretty spot on so far so here’s hoping they’re right again.

Some reports that Putin is going to pull Wagner troops from Ukraine and replace with 300k Russian regulars (conscripts), he’s getting concerned that Wagner are getting to powerful and becoming a threat to himself
